What is with this new Pickleball crap? It looks like tennis and ping pong . Pick a lane.

I swear people are stupid Barbie hits one billion $ and ping pong on the ground are top items. I am having an old man moment.

I played pickle ball in high school, it was legit one of my favourite sports to play. That was in the 80's-90's so I'm not sure how much the game has changed.

Also, a full month now with the Mitsubishi. 3/4 of a tank of gas for nearly 2200km. It's a 58L tank I believe. An extra $50 in electricity.

I just had seen a clip of a woman scanning her hand to pay for her groceries at a POS in Whole Foods.

Wonderful technology but this can not be good. My mind immediately thought of Columbia or Dubai and Farrari dealerships and a person walking in with a bloody red hand ready to sign the papers.

You've been having old man moments for the last 8-9 years.

Sideways moves aren't gonna improve the D. I'm happy with the moves they made to improve it this off season. Slam Myers all you want, he'll have more value than Dumba at the TDL. I'm guessing that he didn't get many offers if he took a huge paycut and no term to play for the Coyotes.

Not sideways with an extra 2 mill on cap to eat bad contracts and get picks at the deadline. That's just me maybe

Legit maybe they can trade Myers after the bonus and a 1 mill real cash hit and get dumba lol

This management group has already dug itself a nice hole by eating OEL'S buyout. I doubt they are into taking on anyone else's mistakes or they would've tried harder to keep the cap space the buyout freed up.

Maybe next year for Dumba. The short contract buys you at least another trade deadline and summer of hope.

It will be more of a driving/road trip to visit some of the scenic spots I've heard so much about. I've done the typical Tofino trip and did some work for DFO up in kyuquot Sound to Brooks Peninsula. Spent some time in Telegraph Cove. Awesome area. But haven't seen much else.

Plus, I want to spend my money "locally". We have a beautiful Province and I've underappreciated it for far too long.

Here's that link to the article...

I hearya you loud & strong on underappreciating this province. I’ve thought on that many times & plans are to start on rectifying it.

The best way to be debt free is to have bought 35 years ago and pay it off 15 years ago, oh and have your Daughter inherit 12 mil.
