Paint n Paper

Home Improvements
Watch it transform from hell hole to hovel.  It's amazing what a little paint n paper will do... ok and some tiles.

Day 121

Posted 7/10/2020

Day 121: Woke up late to the phone binging again... this time it was notifying me that someone in the area had just posted goalie gear for sale... $20 for 2 sets of goalie pads and a stick. The stick can go to the Novice Team, one set of pads were old but good for street hockey (ice hockey pads but a little past their prime and not the right style for his ice hockey). The other set of pads I'm keeping 32' CCM vintage mid 70's maybe, all leather... now I need a Jason Mask to go with them... LOL Adult Child games maybe? So I make plans to go to Timmins go to get in the car... no keys... the wife has all the keys in her purse just in case I decide to do something dumb like go out to buy hockey gear to add to the big pile of hockey gear. It didn't work... Sidekick stopped by for a few minutes late after noon (a trip to the bank gone amok, the only bank in town is only open Thursdays until 5pm, other days it closes at 3pm and is closed sat,sun,mon), he didn't make it out before the wife made it home. LOL. He booked it shortly there after and we went to Timmins to get some odds some ends and some goalie gear. Picked up some food at Pick of the Crop for dinner, then off to look for dirt, pots, garbage bags, bird food, booze, Timmies, stuff from shoppers, syrup without sugar, bacon... lord knows what else... and home by about 8pm. Boy got pinched playing video games after bed time and got his controller taken away, Heather worked on her blanket and I took photos of the pads I bought... See:
