OK. Here's the story. I'm still working in Red Lake. Been here since last February more or less. As usual, I phone Sis (Nita, my better half) tonight. She asks me if I entered a contest through Dewalt power tools. "Ummmm... not that I can recall" I tell her. And I ask her why? She says that Purolator delivered a package today that said that I am "potentially" the grand prize winner of an hour on the ice with Dion at the ACC, tickets to a game, flight, hotel, autographed jersey, etc. ect... Then it rings a bell. Yes I did enter such a contest on line a while back. Now the word "potentially" scares me a bit. But the package apparently came with all kinds of forms and legal crap, witness signatures forms, and a skill testing question. It also came with a Purolator pre paid return envelope to send everything back in. I should also mention that there were two grand prize winners. One with a skate with Phaneuf, and one with a skate with Luke Schenn. My package mentions nothing about a skate with Schenn. I think the "potential" is only if I answer the grade two math question correctly and fill all the forms out. Legal stuff. Sooooo..... DAMN!!!! I'm thinking I won this thing. I hate to let the cat out of the bag if it isn't so, but I just had to share this with someone. I'd absolutely hate to have to retract this news later.

 

So,anyone want me to take out Phaneuf,s left eyeball during our skate??? :sarcasm::whistling::clapping::thumbsup_anim:

It was -37C here yesterday morning Wayne. I never thought that -25C (this mornings temp) could feel so warm.

I'd prefer that I think Dan to the wet bone chilling crap down here. Always something about the streets (wind tunnels) of Toronto and the "pollution dome" enhansed dampness of the streets/sewer grates/subway etc steaming the streets.

Tell me about it!!! After a week of -40 I'm outside in a tee shirt when it warms up into the -20's. :lol:

It you think -37 was cold you should try -50!!!! It's like walking through liquid nitrogen!!!! :w00t:

BINGO! It's the crap that comes up from below that makes it worse.

Sorry to HJ the thread DanC...

Been there and in colder temps than -50 Dave. I've worked all over Northwestern Ontario at all times of the year. The James/Hudson Bay areas aren't exactly tropical in January. Did I mention that I'm going for a skate with Phaneuf, I think?? :rolleyes:

Just kidding, I'm sure he will have to play nice due to contracts, insurance etc ;)
