Sunday Skate Sharpening

Another full week…

 

By now, everyone knows the Jackets lost to the Avalanche.  This means of course that I lost a bet with the Mile High Stickingfellas.  My profile pic on Twitter, Facebook and on the About page is not me, but Mike Commodore, in his underpants rolling around on money and making a face.  Their choice.  At least, C.J. and Stephen didn’t make me hold a sign saying  “I Love Adam Foote” because I may have said no.  Probably not, though.  I was gonna run the pic for a day but when Stephen accused that of being “weak” I made the decision to run it for several days…weak? I’d give him a WEEK and see what he thought of that…

And yes…I’m still waiting for a bet debt to paid to me…from over at Blackhawk Up!   I really like Tim, but until he starts acting like a Hawk  fan instead of a PUSS in boots, that’s what he’s gonna be called in these parts.  Pay up, dude.  You’re a hockey fan…act like it.  You think I liked losing a bet to theAvs boys?  You think I liked losing to Blades of Teal?  No.  But I paid up…If you think for one minute you’re gonna sneak in that photo of you with the cannon tat at the very end of the season so it won’t run and nobody will see  it, you better think again…I will run that pic EVERY DAY in October next season.  I will run YOUR pic as my profile pic on Twitter if you aren’t careful.  Tim, I really like you…but if you dare back out of our bet, you’re gonna get it.  Until you pay up, you are officially PUSS in boots, period.  Go ahead and sic all your fans on me…my guess is they’d be on my side.  (Who’s a good kitty?)

Working Out Like A Player

I was in the pool all week.  Jeremy gave me alternative workouts because of the residual soreness from my car accident.  I was frustrated and unhappy.  Jeremy and Adrianne, Todd and Krystal all have been very helpful with this project.  And I guess set backs happen.  Players get hurt.  They find a way to keep going so it was a good lesson in patience and just staying with it.  Nutrition program to follow in April and I’m a month late with it.  I got into a pissing match with the contact/distributor of this stuff…more to follow.    http://dptraining.com/

Losing It…

My Java Virginity, that is…will be in the off-season.  Jan has opened her downtown location now!  She is ready and most willing to help me do the deed…she’s waiting on me and the right moment.  Keep following for more info…

The EHL

Is officially done for the season.  Ethan always gets depressed right around now, so we’ve signed him up for T-ball, to keep him busy and distracted and so we’re not driven too crazy by this boy, mourning hockey season’s end…

The Weekly Reader…

Fire That Cannon is expanding!  Meet Joe Reader, self-described CBJ cynic, OSU fan and a faithful follower of FTC.  Joe and I have had several chats about our beloved CBJ.  Joe never once called me a “Mason Hater” when I’d wonder if the night would morph into a lower case mase night or a full on Mason Freak-Out Night.  As a matter of fact, he suggested a new Masonism, the esaM night, or the backward night.  Joe gets it.  I have found a kindred CBJ spirit.  I heard one of my old Aunties say once “If it’s got tires or a penis, it’ll give you trouble.”   Well, I’d like to look at it this way: Every salad needs a bit of vinegar.  I’ve added a bit of cynic to my eternal hope.  Watch for Joe’s first post this week.
