Yah, I was at Rexall place when they filmed this! A great night and game it was. Seeing Glenn Anderson come down on a cable from the roof (of course, after they hoisted his jersey #9 to the rafter to retire it this year). Seeing Tiger Williams and Billy Smith again.. priceless! Glad I could share the night with my buddy GScratch! *Hay buddy, blog something soon eh? *

This was a “moment” when Rod Black took on Billy Smith in a shootout.

Scratch sent me this link, aye, if I got’s to go.. this looks like one helluva way to go!

PS – Yah, my webserver was down for the past few days.. while I resurrected my PC from the proverbial dead. F@RK man.. I gotta ditch Windoze one day for good and switch to Linux or a MacOS. I keep threatening to to do it.. one day.. I just got to get around to it. Oh wait, perhaps a Mini-Dell 9 is in my future?

I’d like my ‘mini-hackintosh‘ with fries (to go) please!

> did your site get hit by the chinese mafia again? it’s not responding.

I just got in the door from work this evening to learn that my Aunt Beverley, a “Sister” (or Nun in layman terms — more bio here) just passed away an hour before. Uhm, the news has been devastating to me and my Family to say the least.. and shocking.

I have had to be the bearer of this bad news also, going down the calling list of family and friends. As usual, Ranger Bob has doused the flames on the fire.. in mourning… service is likely to be next Wednesday… uhm.. all for now. Yah… shocking… OMG!

IN MEMORIUM – BEVERLEY SPOHN – SHE WILL BE MISSED!

Aunt Bev – Far Right. (not sure why the doll is looking up her dress)..
and Uhm.. my Wife Beverley.. the other one on left.

PS – I guess, somewhere in the blitz of Torrenting, and crashing my machine repeatedly, I must have also updated my Wordpress Blog at somepoint during the night as well. I don’t rightly recall, it’s kinda been a blur. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the minty fresh look… and.. maybe I will get BSD installed next. It looks kinda HOT!

So, I figured this summer, what with owning a new Jeep and the plans to prospect for “trout” in remote places — why not bring a gold pan along this year and try my luck out for gold? I’ve always had a fascination that gold can be found right here in Edmonton on the North Saskatchewan River, and well, many of the Alberta streams I fish.

So, I am gonna look for a gold pan to pack in the back of the fly fishing vest, and in the meantime I have joined an on-line forum group here and started a new blogroll category with links to ‘gold prospecting’. I am also gonna check out the EGPA here as well.

PS – With rising cost of gas for the Jeep, and Gold hitting an all time high… I need to find lots. =)

Our Father who are in Rexall,
Hockey be thy name.
Thy will be done, the Cup be won,
On ice, as well as in the stands.
Give us this day our hockey sticks,
and forgive us our penalities,
as we forgive those who cross-check against us.
Lead us not into elimination
But deliver us to victory.
In the name of the fans, Lord Stanley,
and the holy Oilers.

Amen.
