It was on this weekend (1980) Richard and I

went to Vancouver by Greyhound bus. Richard Lord and I had a mission to source out some Rattan wood because it is favoured wood for SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) fighter practice. We couldn't find Rattan wood here in Edmonton. Richard had managed to have some SCA people in Vancouver host us for the weekend. We never did get ant Rattan wood,but it was s good experience. There wasn;t time to check in on family and I was on holiday from work anyway. It was about this time of night we would be pulling into the Greyhound bus tereminal downtown. Those were crazy days. 

Game one Stanley Cup finale will have the visiting Florida Panthers facing off with the Oilers in the best of 7. The good news for the Oilers is we have home ice advantage, so if this goes 7 games, a Stanley cup will be awarded here. McDavid's $12.5m contract is up July 1st. Will McDavid stick around? Will the Oilers pay him for another extension? Will McDavid exercise his Non Movement Clause if the Oilers can't come to terms? It's going to be interesting in the weeks ahead.  

I've got 4 days off including today. Thursday mid afternoon, I have a visit to the Fort Road PCN and then Lodge. I have one other event after that and that's for Chapter and that's our BBQ. Should be a good time. Anyway, that's all for now.
