Pykrete

Gosh, I've been busy haven't I? Saw an accident on my way to Growly's birthday party on Saturday. A car sideswiped a taxi. It was minor damage so I did not think I needed to stick around. I did have a good time wrestling and getting a long needed workout, except that I was still sick. It seems as if my body is not ready for physical activity yet as I still have to recover from the events of that day. On Sunday, I went snowboarding with MJNL and one of her co-workers. They got lost on the way to the ski hill, but the weather was not very good so I was glad I was not the one driving the car. I did witness some lady ski straight into the fence while I was on the chair lift. Since my snowboarding skills sucked, I ran from the chair to free her. Seems like there were no injuries and she was just stuck (for a few minutes). Later on the same lady fell down and couldn't get up, so I had to take the board off and help her get the skis off. I told her to walk down the hill....

Spaceteam

I first heard about Spaceteam from Penny Arcade . It is kind of like Artemis in the sense that you require communication and more than one person. Otherwise, it is not. But it seems fun.

cdza

I first came across this group from a Vsauce leanback , but here are a couple of entertaining links. An Abridged History of Western Music in 16 Genres and a History of Misheard Lyrics .

New Year Tax Free

Happy New Year world! I have been busy of late due to all of the end of year celebrations going on at this time of the year. So although we have been busy going from one gathering to another, or cleaning the apartment during whatever time we are at home, I have been unable to update this blog for the past two weeks! The holiday break went by quickly, and now I am faced with a new year already. How time flies. In any case, with the changes to the TFSA limit, I had to adjust my TFSA spreadsheet calculations. It should be a bit more managable when the limit changes again in a few years.
