Cranky Old Men are in the house once again at the annual CIM mining Convention, soaking in the Vancouver sun and wrap tapping the Mining Now show with Jerrod and Rory. Back in the day these conferences were all about drinking triples, seeing double and acting single....
I made a round trip to the bar to pick up three beers for our wrap and tap show. With drink tickets in hand it's equivalent to a free beer round going down, which just so happens to be my favourite kind of round. And when it comes to the show, those in the know know...
The good news, there are still two Canadian teams on the trail for the cup. The bad news, they are playing each other. The good news, there will be one Canadian team make it to the third round. The bad news for Oilers fans, it will probably be Vancouver. Which is...
Euro Pilsner and right away I thought of the movie Euro Trip and Matt Damon stealing the show as the band leader making it on the side with Scotty’s girlfriend while singing the song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” on stage with Fiona with Scotty in the crowd. * “I did her on...

Do or die time for the Leafs. Having the immediate family gathered to cheer them on meant explaining the difference between offside and icing more times than I would care to, but how often do you get to have that family quality time together for a Leafs game 7?* As...
I’ve seen a few salt docks in my days. Isles de la Madeliene for one. Then there was Windsor Salt and of course Goderich. But the Parry Sound salt docks?* What’s that all about? The things you learn while drinking beer. Then I got thinking about the expression “salt...
There was Uncle Al, the Kiddie’s Pal, always suffering a bit from the 40-ounce flu. The McCartney’s Uncle Al was hands across the water. Weird Al might be a fun uncle, and of course a bedtime story from Uncle Alice may invoke nightmares.* Or our favourite history...
