Oilers Training Camp and the return of old man Winter...

SNOW!!!
Hwy 43 to Grande Prairie


It is that time of year again, a time when grown men put on their hockey gear, sad men take their parkas out of storage, and I wonder where the hell fall went? That's right, Oilers Training camp is taking place in Grande Prairie Alberta (look it up on a map) and as we were heading north 4 hours, we had our summer officially ended. Snow, that's right, snow on Septemeber 14th. Summer is over. Thanks for coming out.

Cold Cory

Of course when the boys hit the road, so does our livers. Much fun and tasty beverages were had last night. We went to dinner at about 6pm, ordered our food at about 7pm and did not get our food until about 8:30om. There is a huge shortage of workers here in GP (look it up on the map) and most places don't have the people to get the job done. On duty at Kelsey's last night, two waitresses, and one of them started 3 days ago. A person can make about 15 bones an hour waiting tables here in GP.

Diva Principe

Speaking of GP Gene Principe thinks that GP stands for Gene Principe. Mic Monkeys are sooooo funny. Gene is such a diva. We have had to endure all kinds of I did this, I did that, and I once was the mayor of GP stories. Man, I wish he would just SHUT UP!!!

I will leave you today with a picture of Dave Mitchell, of the CTV's Mitchell's, with Cam (Cameraguy) and Dave's brother.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!

What a Team?
