Three points for #10

They don't often get the scoring summaries right but they did tonight. An opening goal assist followed by a second period pass shot goal and lastly a one time from the hash marks to top corner blocker side. 

If it weren't for the 4 goals I was on the ice for, we would have done alright tonight. That and maybe a few less penalty minutes but that's hard to come by when playing the team with the most PIMs, especially for our team...

Arizona Adam returns

It has been a busy trip. I arrived in Tucson at 1:30 and spent a total of 20 mins in the hotel. 

After grabbing a quick sandwich at Eegees, I made my way to Bombardier to get my inspection done. An hour later, I was done. Yep, 7 hours travel today for a 1 hr inspection to be followed with a 7 hr flight tomorrow. At least I found some pretty significant snags so it wasn't all for nothing. 

After work, I made my way to one of the local craft brewery's (Barrio) to meet up with one of the guys I worked with on the Medevac project - he is no longer with Bombardier but is definitely keeping himself busy as a contractor. 

After a few hours catching up, I made my way to Katie and Jason's. We then went to one of my favourite restaurants here in Tucson - Oreganoes. A few wings were had and then some pizza and pasta. 

That was Katie's pizza, no one else's. Hahaha

I'm looking forward to my flight to Denver tomorrow. Hopefully I can enjoy some more James Bond that can stream to my iPad, just like the flight down. 

Peterborough

It has been a while since I blogged. So much that I'm almost out of practice. 

This week has started with a short trip to Peterborough for some project design reviews with a customer. One project is coming due in January and the other (medevac) not until late 2017. 

After a travel morning, an afternoon long meeting followed by dinner with the customer, I was ready to get to work at around 8:30. But not after talking to Lola.

 Work started at around 9 and finished at midnight. Lola was working too.

Then, it was a matter of trying get to fall asleep after plowing through some work. That (sleep) didn't happen until at least 1:30am. 

Today started with breakfast at 7:30 and then a meeting with the customer that started at 8:30 and finished at around 2:45.

One of six aircraft we have approved and waiting for FAA approval

I am now sitting in the car in a Walmart parking lot while my coworker is meeting with a guy who has a minivan for sale that he is interested in. Good thing we have some time before we need to be at the airport. 

Well I should call into a meeting with Transport Canada to see how projects are progressing. 

St. Louis

I'm back on the road. But this time (knock on wood) I should be home tomorrow. 

My flights took me through Minneapolis:

Into St. Louis. Here was my view on the second flight:

Right at the engine on the MD-90

Flights were on time and without delay. Somewhat unheard of flying through the Midwest. 

When I arrived, I was the only one I the shuttle to the rental car facility:

According to the driver, that was because everyone's flights were delayed by an hour because of a storm earlier in St. Louis - so I guess I lucked out. 

Now I'm all settled in at the hotel. Up on the high roller floor with a king suite. 

Now, time to relax a bit, do a 3.5 mins plank with Lola via FaceTime and then go to bed. Tomorrow is going to be busy so that I can make it back for my 10:50 pm hockey game...

Goodnight!

Puzzled and Beached

After a few months, I pulled out the puzzle that we started early in the summer at Pelican Lake and now finally completed it! 

We also have been enjoying some blue jays baseball. It is exciting to watch a team that is playing so well!

Here is a photo from the weekend! We had a great time at the "kings" cabin.

A deer decided to join the boys while they were golfing at Pinawa golf course

Lastly a stary night. Photo by adam. He read an article while he was in Montreal last week on how to take photos of the Milky Way. All weekend he hoped for a clear night (as the forecast was not favourable) and he lucked out.

Hope you all had a great long weekend and survived "back to school".

Reunited and off to the lake!

Time to relax and chill with the King's at Brereton Lake.

Don't worry we put on our rain jackets!

Hope everyone has a safe and dry long weekend!

Throw back Thursday

Also known as #tbt. 

This one goes WAY back to Sunday (which feels like it was months ago - what a week). 

Lola's favourite place in Montreal:

Also, from Sunday - one of the Lieutenants from Louisbourg, on display at "Hotel de Ville" (City Hall) which was fitting from our recent trip to the East Coast that feels like years ago (already...)
