IRON MAIDEN show

Well how my love of heavy metal just gets stronger everyday with bands like Devil Driver, ALmb of God and GWAR. But I still love the bands I grew up with from teh 80's and 90's as well. one of those bands is

Last tHursday we went down to see the ol boys from the UK and I tell you they delivered one powerful and asskicking show. Mind you aftrer 30 years and a whole lot of albums would you expect anything less! Anyway I had to tak ethe wife for a little culture shock/education on what real bands are supposed to be and sound like and she was impressed, or at least that what she told me!

Memorial day weekend races

What a truck race on Saturday! That is the best division in NASCAR top 3 divisions I think. right off the start they were bumping and bangin fenders with each other. And the 3 wide finish at the end is typical of teh NASCAR Craftsman truck series.

Then off to Charlotte where it seemed whoever was leading had problems, Brian Vickers, Tony Stewart, Dale Jr., and Kurt Busch all had problems while leading. And Dale Jr, managed to come back for a 5th place finish when his car looked like it was ready for the junkyard

Not a good day to be a Habs fan or a Dale Jr, fan!

Well it's Saturday nite and I thought .Yes it's Hockey Night in Canada and game 5 of the Habs vs Flyers is on. And as the Canadiens started out good their goaltending seems to be suspect especially at playoff time. The Huet trade looks really suspicious now. I hope that draft pick you got fro Huet turns out to be a Patrick Roy like goalie! Carey Price will be the man in the Habs future but where is the experienced goaltender to help guide him thru the playoffs? The Habs backup is only 20 years old as well and has zilch NHL playoff experience, the same as Carey Price. Anyway Bob Gainey, I will never understand the trade you made to give a way Christobal Huet and get nothing in return except a future draft pick. Even if he was an unrestricted free agent thsi summer you would still have some experience in the playoffs. Anyway next year is another year.
Go HABS Go!

Dale Jr.

Well what about the driving of Kyle Busch this season in the Sprint cup NASCAR series? How many drivers has he taken out this year to win races? Well he took out another one last nite at the expense of Dale Earnhardt Jr. who was just a few laps away from winning his first race in two years. It may have been a racing accident , but Kyle has a reputation of wrecking people this year and not caring how he wins so this was no exception and he lost many poularity points with that one.

Oleeeeeeeee, Ole, Oleee.........

Well I hope al the HAb fans in the world are as happy as I am that they defeated the Bruins and are already up a gam eon the Flyers. Too bad about the riots in Montreal though that was really uncalled for!

Go Habs Go!

Lebut remembered

Nov 1996-April 2008
Well it is a sad day today in the passing of out beloved dog Lebut. He wasn't doing well these last few days and he passed away in the night. I will never forget that the last thing he did was come up to me and the wife before we fell asleep and kissed us goodnight.
It was like he was saying goodbye.

He will definitely be missed by all who knew and loved him and especially by us. When we bought him as a pup he fit in the palm of our hands and we had to scratch his belly with our fingers. Full of energy and affection this little guy was a bundle of joy for us for 12 years. The last two weeks of his life were the hardest on all of us as he was slowly giving up and we tried desparately to help him. But now we know he is in a better place and I hope he is running free with some of his old pals.

Lebut will be missed.
