Hopefully there won't be rain today. That's what I expect to happen anyway, because why not.

On the week of my Birthday, July 15th, which was a Friday. On the Monday prior my car wouldn't start before heading to work. I was able to get a jumo but the battery light was on and the bar wouldn't drive to it's full potential. Everyone told me it could be an alternator or a belt or a battery but all three seemed fine. I got a battery at 90 bucks as wishful thinking but same issue. So I tried to hold things off till Friday on my Birthday but that Wednesday prior, my engine light was on. A totally separate issue. So I drove it to the nearest shop because as long as it ran, I didn't wanna pay for a tow. Auto Lab tells me it's the belt and the alternator. They charged me 555.00 to only fix that problem. Turns out they over charged more than other places by 200. Next I went to my other guy who is a little bit of a distance. 220 to fix the problem bouncing around in the engine but was also disabling my breaks but lucky, they went hand and hand. This week the connections on the battery went bad (or so I was told) as I was making a simple stop at the bank. Stuck in the hot Sun on a Tuesday morning making a litteral 1 dollar payment to my credit card because my insurance somehow wouldn't come out because it cost 172 but I only had 171 on the card. I was able to get a free tow to the same Auto Lab near by thinking this had to be covered under the warranty. Cleary there was life in the car/battery but won't turnover. Auto Lab wanted 275 to put these new connectors to the battery on. I freaked out and got them down to 100 after they threaten to call the cops. Turns out on places would have did it for 70 but again, same issues as 2 weeks ago, so in my mind it had to be all related and covered under the warranty.

I haven't paid my rent yet, which I know I can make up for. Challenging thing is, I'm on a weeks vacation I booked 2 months ago. I'm getting paid but not to the fullest that I would if I were working. Needless to say, if anyone wants to take satisfaction in this, I know it could be worse. I'm going on a road trip from Canton Michigan today to London Ontario and Grand Bend Ontario. I took a camping trip to Guelph Ontario last weekend. Nothing was going to stop me from enjoying my time off.

It's all still a huge kick to the nuts.

That sucks. I spilled my coffee this morning. Not a lot, and it wasn't very hot, and it didn't hit my shirt. It was a few drops that landed on my hand. But it sucked anyway.

Nope.

Raffl-Giroux-Voracek
Schenn-Couturier-Simmonds
Laughton-Cousins-Wiese
Lyubimov-Gordon-Read
Bellemare

Laughton spent a good chunk of time at LW in the second half, with Cousins at center. They didn't sign Gordon to play wing with his faceoff ability. VandeVelde is a replacement level player and shouldn't be guaranteed a spot.
The good thing is, both Laughton and Cousins-as well as Lyubimov-are waiver exempt to start the year so they have flexibility. I hope they didn't add guys like Lyubimov, Wiese and Gordon to replace Laughton or Cousins and not replace guys like VandeVelde and Bellemare.

It's a nice looking lineup, and there would be solid call up depth in the AHL with VdV, Weal, Miele, McDonald, Straka, Leier and Bardreau.

Hell, Hexy could sign Chris Porter again and try and sneak him thru waivers if he wanted another extra forward. The Wild didn't re-sign him so he's a UFA.

I think they're pretty close to the non development players limit on the phantoms if things play out as expected.

While we're putting it all out there, my car hasn't had working AC in over two months. It has been a hot summer for this guy.

I'm not sold this isn't the plan. Hakstol didn't show much faith in Laughton and Cousins last year, often giving more minutes to the "4th" line. I hope Laughton and Cousins come into camp and earn real "3rd" line spots.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Laughton or Cousins were not with the team out of camp.
