Maybe I Should’ve Bought A Carpenter’s Square Too?

Went to a few garage sales while camping in Weyburn and one person had set-up a Square account to accept credit card payments! (And what’s $8 get you at a garage sale these days?  A brand new tarp still in the plastic, a power bar, an extension cord, and a multi-head screwdriver!  I did okay […]

Friday Fun Link – Happy Canada Day?

As the Stanley Cup Finals are coming to an end (Go Avs!), it makes me think how I have very tangential connections to a handful of NHLers. Though he was a couple years older than me, my main “connection” was growing up on the same street as Dave Karpa (who regularly used my testicles for […]
