the mad sports man

Wow end of April already. April flew by. Compared that with March where it felt like it took 3 years to get through. Last couple of days were real nice. Spent the last day and a half painting base boards. Got a bit red on my right arm yet my left one wasn't as red. I think the back of my neck is red, can't tell. Feels like it though. We'll see how May ends up.

13c and it's 12:30 pm. Most of the snow is gone. Most of the raking is done. Just got to wait for the snow in the back yard to disappear so I can rake that. Pumpkin patch is cleaned out. Won't be long before the lawnmower is brought out. There is still some ice on the river. (Had a peek at it). Good bye snow.

Oh boy spring is here. Last couple of days the snow has been melting. Got to 9c yesterday. On Saturday a city crew ended up uncovering a drain I didn't know was there. (My dad didn't know either). The lake of a puddle did drain after a couple of hours. Yesterday another one formed. Not sure if drain is plugged again. (I assume so). The piles of snow that was here last week isn't so big now. Almost time to pull the rake out and rake the yard out. At least after the snow has disappeared and the ground has dried up.

It's finally been warming up the last few days. Got to 8c today. Snow is finally melting. Back alley has a swimming pool sized puddle. Could use hip waiters to walk through puddle. It's also been good walking weather. We're all sick of winter.

Happy Easter weekend to everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend despite the bull that's going on. And loads of chocolate 😁.

Was supposed to be the first night of the NHL playoffs. Tonight was supposed to be the start of the two month marathon to the Stanley Cup final. Who knows if this season will resume. The Ontario league, the Quebec league and the Western league all cancelled their seasons. First time in the 102 year existence of the Memorial Cup, it won't be contested. Yiye. Don't know what to do.
