MUFFIT?!?!?!? WTF is a Muffit?
MUFFIT is the name given to my 1900cc Yamaha Roadliner. It was a nick name that we used for Dusty. Our late 200 lb Great Pyreneese.
In 5 weeks she goes in for some passing lights, passenger boards, a 12 volt accessory outlet and a beefed up passenger seat.
JASPER is gonna be so much more fun to travel to. I hope El Nino brings an early Spring.
COME ON SPRING!!!

ITS COMING!!!
What is coming? What huh What?
Its a bird, its a plane...Its...its...its...SPLAT...Its a bird.
Nothing too many people would care about. A Braden Holtby # 70 Away FULL PRO 3rd Jersey. What an odd thing. I purchased it through nhl.com and they WOULDNT ship it to Canada. I had to have it shipped to a friend in the US and have him ship it to me. Thanks Ray.
I sold my Thundercracker Trasformer and bought this instead. SUWHEET!!! With any luck I will have it in time for my birthday.

CANADA SHOULD EXIT THE NHL
It is time for Canada to consider leaving the NHL. For one reason which encompasses a lot of other reasons...they cant compete.
Location, location, location.
Reasons...
1) Canada is colder than the US...if you are going to be on a team with no shot at winning a cup, why play in Cold Canada when you could be in LA/Tampa, Florida?
2) Fans. The fans in Canada are so rabid that NHL players cant wipe their ass without someone recognizing them. They have no privacy and are thus front and center in Canadian Cities with an NHL team. Edmonton has a minimum of 2 hours a day of radio time devoted to the Oilers. Its sad.
3) Players don't want to play in Canada. They only play here to get a job to stay in the NHL where upon teams have to pay them more to come here where they don't perform because they would rather be someplace else. Their heart isn't in it.
4) And finally, more and more its happening that Canadian teams cant compete with the US any more. Sure we get individual players who are fantastic, but we cant field a team. Fewer and fewer Canadian teams have been making the play offs. And now for the first time since the 70's Canada will not be able to field a play off contending team. All 16 teams will be from the US.
As of Feb 21/16 Canadian Teams occupy 7 of the bottom 9 spots with Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and Edmonton in the last 4 spots in the Western League. Ottawa and Montreal have Columbus and Buffalo between them and last place Toronto.
Canada is no longer able to field competitive teams in the NHL. They are now all farm teams. The only guys who will play on them are guys who cant get a job anywhere else, or young draft picks looking to make a name for themselves so they can get traded out of here.
Canada...the little engine that couldn't. Its becoming more and more that Canada can only field National teams. Hockey will soon become Canada's Ghost Sport. Relegated to the same status as Lacrosse.
Canada...the country that WAS.

Braden Holtby
# 70...WASHINGTON CAPITALS...BRADEN HOLTBY
I don't do cheap. Im too poor to buy cheap. What good are socks @ 50 cents a pair if they only last a day? You are better off spending $5.00 for a pair that will last a month.
I don't do "FAN" jersey's. I only buy authentic full pro jersey's. I have 3. Calgary Iginla. Ron Francis Team Canada and Peter Bondra Washington. None of which are up to date. Iginla plays for Colorado now and both Ron Francis and Bondra are retired.
I have been sitting on the fence about getting a new Washington Capitals jersey, but was hesitant on who. Plus the Canuck Buck is sinking faster than the Titanic. So I finally broke down and ordered it...Almost $400 US for a # 70 Braden Holtby Away Full Pro Authentic Retro 3rd Jersey.
Every one loves Ovie...but goalies need love too!
Getting ready for the play offs...Go Caps GO!!!

Outback Hat Is Perfect
It has arrived. My Australian Outback Style hat. Sweet!
I went to the store the other day and the clerk had too look twice. I asked him what gives in a humorous way to which he replied...I didn't recognize you without your baseball cap. In all the years I have seen you, this is the first time I have ever seen you without it.
And I got to thinking...I wear a baseball cap for work. (It helps keep flying hot metal chips from landing on my head. I always know when one does...I can smell the hair burning.) I don't have a nice hat o wear out...besides a new baseball cap. lol. And while I like caps/hats, you cant just put on a beanie, or a Fedora.
Guardians of the Galaxy got me going to finally buying something I always wanted and never got around to buying. You know...I really like this concept of on line shopping. It provides access to items I would never have otherwise. I bought a Van Helsing Style Goth Duster Overcoat. I love it. But it was incomplete. Now the hat has arrived. My black leather Australian Outback.
I was born 200 years too late.

OVIE SCORES 500 IN 801 GAMES
CONGRATULATIONS to Alexander Ovechkin on scoring his 500th and 501st goals in 801 games becoming the 43 player to do so. Next up...Lord Stanley's Cup!!! GO CAPS GO!!
WHAT IS 007 DOING?
In CASINO ROYALE with Daniel Craig...he enters his password. Closer to the end of the movie he reveals the password to be VESPER. There is no "G,H or I" in the name/word Vesper, which corresponds to the number 4.
So why did Bond hit the number 4 on the keypad when entering his security code for the card game if he chose the word/name Vesper?

John Carter of Mars Plot Hole
John Carter of Mars. Quite an entertaining movie. Of course critics panned it. But for a good sci-fi flick it isn't too bad of a way to kill an hour and a half. Except...
Not to take away from the film...Lynn Collins is as hot as ever (She would have made an AWESOME Wonder Woman) and the effects are well done. Its a fantastic concept. Except...
**SPOILER ALERT***
Except for this one big gaping hole in the plot that keeps driving me nuts. Close to the end of the movie, John Carter challenges Tal for leadership. Tal says he cannot because he is not Thark. Where upon Tars shouts out...yes...yes he is...He is Dotar Sojat...The name Tars gave him meaning My Two Right Arms when they first arrived back from gathering the hatchlings. So John Carter "IS" Thark by Barsoom definition. That said...Sola never should have had to run for her life for allowing him into the temple. She said, only Thark are allowed. He is Dotar Sojat. He is Thark. It was by this reasoning he was allowed to challenge Tal. So if he was Thark enough to challenge for leadership and become Jeddack, he should have been allowed into the temple.
Recently I read...I believe it was on Balok's Blog...I need to get a link hot list going...that John Carter of Mars is now free domain. I wonder if I have enough imagination to re write that part???

NOTLEY NDP ADOPT STOMPIN TOM CONNOR
I REALLY REALLY need to get a mouse for this laptop so I can cut paste properly.
Recently while relenting a childhood story, I mentioned good ole Stompin Tom...which got me to thinking about the song I remember him singing as a kid. Marketplace. Its a 45 second Intro song to a financial report show. Yes I used to watch it as a kid...when you have only one channel you don't have much choice.
After listening to this song I can only think that the NDP of Alberta have totally adopted this song.
The final line of the song goes...WE SAVE ALOT OF MONEY SPENDING MONEY WE AINT GOT.
Yep...because Alberta you see...is NDP...Now Dirt Poor.
