and put me under right away. I got up to my alarm thinking the Oiler/Hurricane's game was at 11:30am but it was at 1pm. I went back to bed and woke up shortly before the game.
I passed out with the effects of the sleeping pill still in me and woke up a bit here and there. It was 1-0 Oilers. Ok. I woke up fully and it was 2-0 Oilers. I was getting excited. Then 3-0 2 goals by RNH! This could be good. Things broke down in the 2nd as it was a tied game at 3. Oilers took way too many penalties. Then it was 3-4 for the other guys. Then they had a five on 3 and scored 5-3, then 6-3. RNH got a hat trick in the 3rd and they got a open net goal for a 7-4 win. Uggh. This Oiler season was written off when Hall got injured during practice in mid January. The copper and blue are in Detroit tomorrow.
I had a nice Facebook chat with a colleague from the old Xentel days. He gave me a phone # to call and depending on how tomorrow afternoon goes, I'm going to try that place. I was going to try it when the Metro line is online but now that its Spring anyway and the weather (for now) is improving, if the visit doesn't pan out, I'll try that Tuesday. At the moment the main thing is to get a job and pay for my lodge dues and get caught up in our bills.
I also want to save up some cash to take a online security guard course. This course is imperative for any would be guard here in Alberta. If I get the ad job I can take the course at night from home. Anyway that's all for now.

Im enjoying my time off
although trying to get a good nights sleep lately has been hard too come by but I did manage to get a good 6 hours of sleep when I turned in about 5am this morning, uggh.
The only down side of next week is the Oiler's opening season isn't televised and the day my wife and her sister are heading out for a all day outing (opening game day this Sunday) but there are 2 TSN games next week and a CBC Saturday night game. Wu-who, NHL hockey is back!
During my sleep this morning a memory surfaced. I recall how it was about 1972 just before mom moved to Edmonton with Jeff & Mike. I should have joined them but stuck around wanting to strike out on my own. Anyway, I was really into SPI war games and I had a 2 year subscription to Strategy & Tactics magazine at the time in the early 1970's. SPI is now owned out of Decision games and still going strong and publishing,which is nice to see. I'm thinking about ordering some of their back issues. Moving along here, I recall in my quest for finding war game opponents at the time a fellow I contacted in Vancouver. At the time I believe mom was just packing to move that week. So with nothing better to do my war gaming opponent and I set up a time and place for a first meeting. I recall I had to take a bus to get there as he lived in the Wellington Heights area not far from East Hastings, which East Hastings had a negative reputation of sorts at that time. When I got to the guys place I was immediately impressed with his huge war game collection. I stayed way past transit shut down time but I didn't care. I recall walking home early that morning through episodes of sporadic rain showers. A voice called out to me as I was walking home. A hooker in a doorway saying hello. I think I actually stopped to reply but declined her invitation. I think I said something like "I'm broke" and she looked at the rain around her and mumbled something like, "It doesn't matter." No way I wasn't going to get into anything like that. It was a long walk home. I must have wandered in about 2-3am before crawling into bed. I never did hook up with that guy for a game. I didn't play that many SPI games after that as I ended up being a sort of a official squatter in those days after mom left for Edmonton. I was squatting at the abandoned Barnet Bible Institute shortly after this but that's another story.
Not much on my plate for this afternoon. We had a bit of snow earlier and it's warming up out there. This evening is Monday night Raw so that should be fun.
Other then that, I'm engrossed in reading Stardoc #3 but I'm taking a break from the series as I still need to order books #7-10 but after this I want to get into reading The 2nd Space Wolves Omnibus.
Speaking about Warhammer 40k goodness, in my Black Library newsletter, they are now releasing what's called "Digital Monday's." BL is releasing something every Monday. This is a cool concept. I'm still looking at subscribing to their "Hammer & Bolter" e magazine. Anyway, that's about all for now.
