Got My Seat

Well I did it. Nothing spectacular really I renewed my Abbotsford Heat seasons tickets and upgraded my seats from the Red section to the Gold seats. As I was looking at the material concerning my season tickets it indicated 39 home games when the team normally plays 40 home games. I asked my ticket rep about the extra game and it turns out Abbotsford will play one ‘home’ game in Calgary. Now I have not heard this officially but as Calgary is playing an outdoor game in February it makes sense that Abby play outdoors as well. I am not saying that this is the plan but it does seem logical and Abbotsford will be playing a game in Calgary….

Either way I am going to Calgary for the Abbotsford game and plan on attending the Flames outdoor game as well. Road trip!

New Vehicle

I figured it was about time I got myself a new vehicle and after a lot of searching I finally found one that I think is a good choice. More of a fun vehicle than anything else but it is something I have been looking at for quite sometime and decided to finally take the plunge.

Ok so maybe not what you were expecting but it is very cool. This is my new Traxxas Slash 1/10th scale Stadium Truck for short track racing. I have not raced it yet but have taken it out a few times bashing around in the dirt. I have had it zipping around on the street and it goes about 30-35 mph. The neat thing is just how customizable it is and some of the neat options you can add. In the future I want to upgrade the engine and suspension. For now I am just happy roaring around in the dirt.

To Pay or Not to Pay

I am wondering if that will be question for much longer. Today I was driving home and decided to check my tire pressure so I pulled into the closet service station and found the air hose. Just as I was about to get out of my vehicle I saw a sign and a coin slot for $1. It took me a few seconds to realize I was supposed to pay for the air. I thought you have got to be kidding and headed up to the next station only to discover the same thing. I have never seen this before that I can remember but figured it cannot be everywhere and I headed up the road to the next station where I found it was only 50¢, what a bargain. So not only are we gouged when we buy gas we also now have to pay to get air. What is next, paying to use the squeegee or having to pay to dip the squeegee in water?

Travel Dilemmas

Not that I am able to travel at the moment but I have certainly been looking at places to go and things to do. As I am totally busy at work I cannot really get away at least until August or September so I am in planning stage for a trip to somewhere. I was thinking of taking a cruise out of Mobile or New Orleans but I have two problems, the oil spill may cause some issues and more importantly I have no one to go with me. As cruise lines like to fill the cabins if I go alone I will have to pay for two people even if I go alone.

So I decided to look at other options and see what I could do by myself but what I am finding is the costs do not compare to some of the prices for cruises which includes meals and a bed. If I goto an all-inclusive I will pay 2,3 or more times the amount I will for a cruise and not sure how much I would enjoy it. Could go on a road trip but again the cost and the fact that I want to relax so I think road trip is out. Then I thought about a stay-cation which has some benefits, not really what I had in mind but worth a look I guess. Arranging a vacation should not be this hard or this much stress. Oh well I will figure out something as I need something to look forward to sooner rather than later.
