When the score at Rogers

place arena was tied at 2 with Buffalo in town, I thought we might win this game. Then Talbot let in a stinker early in the 2nd. It was all downhill for the Oilers from there. McDavid hadn't even a shot on goal little alone a goal. Talbot was obviously having a tough night losing to the Sabres 6-2. There was even a goal tender change but Larson fell on our relief goaltender already with a history of concussions and he was pulled and Talbot returned. We'll regroup and host Carolina Tuesday and say Hello to the returning Nail Yakapov. Next Sunday we're in Winnipeg. Our first loss in Rogers Place arena. 

I'm not a environmentalist but I have to give a nod of approval to Canada's position on the recent Kigali deal. Its going to cost billions of dollars but by slowly eliminating the use of HFC's (hydro fluoro carbon gases) its going to make the planet cooler, eventually. HFC's are found in air conditioners and refrigerators. HFC's are hundreds of times more powerful then CFC green house gasses. By phasing out the use of HFC's will help to make the planet a bit cooler but not by much. I'm on board with this.

Earlier today I was working from a list of Horus Heresy order of reading. This list includes all of the 31 novels in the series I have to date. In this reading order (suggested by The Black Library) includes short stories, audio books and novellas. There's been a lot of short stories before the novel series I haven't got yet but most of the already published and will be re published in an anthology format in latter editions of the series. Most likely in my format in a couple of years. I have all the way up book #31 in paperback. 

Anne's doing the vacuuming and I'm just winding out my evening. This week is just a working the week at the job. I've got nothing planned. We still have a lot of snow on the ground. Kind of reminds me of mid March out there. Anyway, that's all for now.

It was about +5

heading into work yesterday afternoon. I could have worn a lighter jacket but I felt a bit of a scratchy throat coming on. It was a mild partially cloudy day but very warm. 

Since last night as most nights the temperature falls but at this hour when our temperature should be around 0 or 2 this is where we are now:

It seems there is another Warhammer 40K Space Marine Battles book out, which is good news. I ordered a copy from Audrey's and now Black Library is about to release its first Horus Heresy Omnibus book with the first 3 novels and 2 short stories following their Horus Heresy recommended reading order list. A lot of sort stories and novellas came out independently of the books in ebook format I didn't get because I didn't think they followed the original narrative. It seems they and some of those short stories might be out in other Horus Heresy anthologies. I'll be ordering the Omnibus books as I'm only 10 books into the series or 3 Omnibus books. 

I met a colleague out front and we went to the store 107th Ave/124th street as I felt something coming on but the guy closed at 9pm.Strange. So we rode to Rexall as Oiler fans we're spilling out to the train.That was his stop. I got the score at at Clareview 5-2 Oilers. Anne made me a nice lasagna and we watched the news. Anyway, that's all for now.

No rain yesterday and its a lot cooler out there

now 8 degrees. We're supposed to get a high temperature of 18 today. So with a temperature like 8 makes it nice for sleeping.

Not much going on for today. I'm trying to finish "Tales of Heresy" book 10/30 in the Horus Heresy series, and then go back to read book 6 in the series. I got influenced by spoilers and I'm not going to let get to me again. I'm going to finish that book if it takes me the rest of the year. Normally I find series books boring because they are almost written by the same author. With the Horus Heresy series almost every book is written by a different author which keeps the series fresh.

I was about to get into some good CFL action with a double header. Game #1 was the BC Lions/Hamilton game. In the first quarter it was BC 0 Hamilton 21. I was waiting for something BC's way to happen but it didn't until way later  in the game. BC 22 Hamilton 52! Boring. Then there was the Ottawa/Calgary game. I thought this one should be a lot better. That game ended up 3-48, even worse. Ottawa didn't show up! I really hate games like that. Even when my team has a commanding lead. Makes for a boring game. Anyway, that's all for now.
