The teletype tells me that Landon Ferraro has been signed by the Blues. Or has joined a blues band. (The ink is blurry).
I guess it’s that time of year when we need to look out for poachers.
Marc Bergevin is quietly intimating that PK Subban earned his way out of town.
Come on now! You totally stole that trick from Boston’s front offices! Wait a minute… Is that our bus? Oh wait, …
I can see our bus being warmed up outside of John Farrell’s office.
And speaking of poachers… Buffalo is trying to butter-up a certain young prospect

Hey, hey HEY! Don’t you guys dare poach that prospect, who we were planning on poaching from you next month!
Good Morning!
Morning All!
A quiet weekend for Jo and I.
Took her mom to a comedy club Friday. Funny stuff.
Took on the new disc golf course at Rockwell Park Saturday – it kicked my ass.
We worked most of yesterday so we can have flex time this week.
Went to see the Cowboy Junkies in Hartford last night. Yeah, we saw them a few months ago, but they are our band. They were great, we were happy… still are!
The only thing missing from the weekend was the bagel! I forgot about the bagel!
Cowboy Junkies!
I’m not a HUGE fan, but still a fan. I haven’t seen a good, live show since mid April. I need something soon.
Yup, I needed it. Thinking about the Green River Music Festival next weekend. Might have to checkit out.
Random note – Novocaine tastes absolutely god-awful disgusting.
Ironically frustrating, too, given that it’s a numbing agent.
Well it did the trick for that at least. Didn’t really feel the fiber camera being crammed up my nose and then down my throat!
That’s a less than fun way to start the week.
Even more frustrating is the fact that I was going into the office for a different procedure. Instead, it turned out to only be a consult for that procedure and an impromptu camera cramming instead. I get to wait another ten days for the original procedure to happen
Thanks for THAT image. Skipping breakfast.

Not for long!
Morning!
First days at new jobs are always morning and confusing. So much reading. But, happy to start a new chapter!
Alright back to reading. Probably won’t be by as frequently until I’m settled in here which will probably be a few days or weeks.
Morning all! No bagel for breakfast. Yogurt and a banana.
Son of bitch. I knew I forgot to eat something this weekend.
Did Stripes get bagels this weekend? Inquiring minds want to know.
this bagel stuff is slaying me.
Will it ever end? ( I hope not.)
Stripes forgot all about the bagel thing. Now I want one!
How can you people just forget about bagels?!?
Bagels are like a big zero to me.
A big, delicious zero.
I had a granola bar type thing and two cups of coffee.
BITCHING POINTS!
* Pokemon Go does not work on company wifi.
* Hockey team lost 6-4. We played poorly, but the worst thing about it was how half of the team behaved on the bench. No one enjoys being yelled at, berated and cursed at on the bench. This is not the NHL. This is not even minor league hockey. Let’s have fun even it we are losing. I left the rink in a worse mood than when I entered. They are even starting to cut playing time for the people they deem not worthy. This is fucking ridiculous.
Positive Points!
* Despite hockey, I had a lovely weekend catching Pokemon and going to farmers markets with my GF.
* My bro go a new used car and he likes it a lot. I’m happy for him.
* Our drummer and his wife welcome their first child yesterday morning. Beautiful baby girl!
* Carvinbass and his wife have some friends to take care of too!
* I played bass for two hours straight yesterday. I set up my 5 string MMEB Stingray and it plays like a champ.
My main ax is a 1986 MM Stingray 4 string. It’s still the king, but damn, I forgot how fun a 5 string can be. I let a guy borrow it a few weeks ago after I didn’t even look at the bass for close to three months. When he gave it back, he messed with the bridge and the strings were COVERED in a cheesy poof like powder. The powder had a strong garlic scent as well.
I’m guessin’ someone got the munchies…
How’s playing a 5-string different than playing a 4-string bass? Does it have a wider range of tones, or just more tones in between the normal range?
OMG I forgot that sticker was there. Let’s tax the hell out of it and then I will open a pizza shop anyway…
Typically, a five string bass adds a low B string, so you’re only getting five extra low notes. I’ve found it to be more useful to play country (no joke). You get ease of access though. With an extra string, you have access to more notes without sliding your hand around.
I’m a big fan of when the low B string breaks mid show. Sounds like a gun shot.

Amazing that it hasn’t happened. It’s a slow revolution.
Garlic Cheetos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve played on teams like that. Fuck that. The most fun team I played on didn’t win much, but we laughed a lot and liked each other. Everyone was supportive of everyone else even if someone sucked at hockey. As long as they were fun they could be on the team.
A lot of us are still new to hockey (such as myself.) We’re 4-2-1. Not bad at all! I feel like a lot of these guys are living out their NHL dreams in Greensboro’s C2 hockey league. The loud mouths are all in their 40s.
I see those guys a lot. Sometimes their teammates ask if I can’t get rid of them somehow. No, but I can torture them for a small fee.
And someone started a FB thread on the team FB page. Unfortunately it’s by a player who is young and not well liked because he roams too much on the ice. Other wise he is a great teammate. I’m going to have to stick up for the kid.
Morning apparent ghost town this morning!
I’m gonna steal Phony’s bullet points cause STUFF HAPPENED
Nice! You and Em must be psyched.
I am enjoying coconut coffee, myself. Yum!
Hmmmm, i’ve never heard of coconut coffee
I’m not a fan of the coconut coffee. I also don’t like coconuts. Is there are relation? Hmnn…..
Yay for you and Em!
Good luck with the little friends!
I suspect that the careful application of large doses of coffee is important here.
Best of luck with the lil friends.
At least the 3rd baseman showed up! I’ve played hungover hockey before – i’ve played still drunk hockey, too. No bueno.
Good morning, pals!
BULLET POINTS!
since you clearly hate all of us so muchinstead :-p:-O
Also in the no vacay neither half is….. me. My peeps are in England this week so sort of vacation. Everything still has to get done, though on my terms and times.
I, too will miss Lando Calrisiferrarroan
I’ll be wearing a skirt later for roll practice (roll not role)
Go Big Red! Cornell cheer?
No, you’re not a mess. You’re awesome!
Nice weekend here, as well.
