CGY Janser putting in the elbow grease

[Daniel Janser 2,213]

It was an exhausting practice and Callum had the impression he did not improve during the passing drill. Maybe his dad could fix him up with one of the most prolific passers of his generation, Bo Johansson. The dude was dishing pucks left, right and center. But this is a topic for next off-season.

There are more urgent issues to tackle. He noted that the front porch of the house he is living in has some rotten boards and it won't do to break an ankle by stepping through one of these. So he will get to the local lumber yard and get some 2x4s for the deck. Being a maritime engineer, he prefers teak, but any sturdy hardwood will do. And while he is at it, the garden shed needs some roofing, so he will get shingles to replace the broken ones. Luckily, the roof mat is still water tight. He hates working with tar, he always makes a mess and ruins the respective clothing. He is so glad that he did not buy some tiny car as he intended, but acquired his trusty, spacious Ford pick up truck. He named her 'Eilidh', after a distant cousin of his, on which he may or may not have had a crush.

And after the sun sets, he will have a look at the ideas his gramps has had for upgrading his yacht, the 'Chancer'. Let's find out whether the old man is being realistic or whether he is outright delusional (or anything in between for that matter). Yes, Callum has his work cut out for him for today, but he does not want it any other way.
