    Default Half-way through the Dark Ages !

    So, from the raising of the Stanley Cup on June 12, until the first preseason NHL game on September 15 — TODAY is the halfway mark! Can we see that light at the end of the tunnel yet?

    Tired of watching baseball and golf already?

    This made me smile. Hockey can't come back soon enough.

    I hear ya. This is especially the dark ages for me since the Tour de France just ended. That is always 4-5 hours a day for most of July. So now what the hell do I watch? Baseball? Preseason football? Hard pass. At least I have auto racing on the weekends.

    I did a ton of yard work this year. Re-leveled my back yard, installed weeping tile drainage, re-leveled the side yard and installed a tiled walkway, insulated/painted my garage. Also did a lot of work on improving diet and fitness. Plus I did an inaugural draft for a new league and a prospect draft for an existing league. Not to mention two different tasks for the fantasy guide. Offseason is a good thing. I love hockey but the downtime is necessary to make the games we watch more enjoyable. It's called delayed gratification!

    I just shitposted about 1000 times, and reached two 1k milestones on the Dobber boards. Incredibly effective use of free time.

    Is it a bad thing that when picking wedding dates we settled on August, and I was thinking "that works perfectly because nothing hockey related happens around then".

    Definitely good to have the summer off from watching so I get some other things done, but I am looking forward to fantasy draft season.
