I went to game 1 of the Ennismore Robert Young Construction juveniles and the Woolwich Wildcats AAA Finals


I went to game 1 of the Ennismore Robert Young Construction juveniles and the Woolwich Wildcats AAA Finals

I am one of those guys that only go to see the Juveniles when they are in the finals and while writing this blog my thoughts are I am going to make an effort to catch more games. This game was really fun. These young men played hard and tough. It is such a fine line of tough play and crossing the line it is a quite a tight rope they have to follow. Ennismore played the tight rope well in the first period and the third period and dominated in those periods. When they got into penalty problems in the 2nd they let Woolwich back into the game. Ennismore won the game 5-3 to take game one of the series.

I went to a Peterborough Petes Game

I went to a Peterborough Petes Game

March 14/2019 I was given two tickets to the Peterborough Petes and Ottawa 67s game sitting in C10 Isle D. What fantastic seats. I have been to one other Petes game in the last number of years but it was with the school and we sat up in the family zone. These closer seats were great because you could see the game, the size of the guys, the emotions of the players and the speed/skill of the game. Being closer to the ice changed my experience greatly. I can’t tell you how much more enjoyment I had.


The game was fast paced and entertaining. There were huge hits, emotion from the players, one fight and some big-time goals. I just could not get over the size of the players. Some big boys! My favorite player last night was defenseman Cole Fraser. He was strong on the puck and a physical presence. I enjoyed watching his game.



I never paid too much attention to the Petes over the years. No reason why. I certainly am a Peterborough Laker Fan. For whatever reason, the Petes never caught my attention before. They have it now!

I now plan to start paying attention. I plan to become a fan. I may even become a season ticket holder. That is how much I enjoyed the game last night. My partner in crime last night loved the game as well. My daughter Faith. 

Great work Peterborough Petes. I look forward to becoming a fan!

Spring home maintenance, stress free kitchen and Paint your front door!

Your Spring maintenance checklist

Maintaining your home is crucial in preserving its value. By taking small actions throughout the year, you can save money by catching problems early, or even prevent them, before significant damage takes place. As soon as the snow thaws it's the best time to do the rounds, both inside and outside your home, to make sure everything is working the way it should.

Create a stress-free kitchen

No matter its size, most people feel like there is never enough space in their kitchen. While ample space is key for a great kitchen, organizing it properly can save time too. After all, it is the most used room of a home. Here are some helpful tips to create a functional and stress-free kitchen.
Give each cabinet a purpose. The first step is to group
items and give each group a designated space. Not only will this allow you to find every item easily, you are less likely to use the space for items that don't belong there. Limit bottom cabinets to cleaning supplies, large pots or appliances and items that are rarely used.
Put items you need the most in easy to grab spots. Measuring spoons, oven mitts and your go-to saucepan should be quickly accessible for stress-free, day-to-day use. Also, by keeping items close to where they are most used, you will find everything is exactly where you need it.
Increase visibility in your fridge and pantry. Clear containers and additional shelving will allow you to quickly locate items in your fridge. As for your pantry, consider using clear stackable bins, adjusting your shelves and work in levels. Adding a little light will go a long way!
Think outside the kitchen. Fancy dishes, large appliances that haven't been used in months and unread cookbooks are great examples of items that do not need to be stored in your kitchen. Finding new homes for less-used items outside the kitchen is one of our favourite space-saving ideas.

Go for it! Paint your front door

A vibrant red, bright turquoise, regal blue or even mustard yellow. Bold colour choices can make your home stand out. With warm sunny days around the corner, it's the perfect time to plan an exterior paint project. Here is some advice to get you started.
  • Don't only look for an exterior paint, make sure the paint you choose is right for the door's material
    (wood, metal). Be sure to remember if you choose an oil-base or latex paint, as you can't switch back and forth, for the inevitable future touch-ups.
  • Tape your colour swatch to the door and see how the colour looks at different times during the day.
  • Pick a warm, dry day and get started early! Before painting, you will need to remove your door and the hardware from its surface.
  • Thoroughly clean the door so dirt does not get trapped in the paint.
  • Don't forget to use a primer coat. It's the best way to get the most out of your new colour.
