It's been a cool and rainy week on the shore of Lake Superior in my hometown. Snow has fallen on areas further away from the lake, so we expect we'll soon get some here. I noticed the covers are on the greens this week, so it looks like I got my round in just in time! Renovations have continued, and we got another vanity installed—it looks great! The updated bathroom upstairs is now fully operational, so that helps. I'm hoping to get the electrical and plumbing moving forward to get the upstairs and downstairs fridges with ice-makers in place before too long. That's next on the agenda anyway. Markets were very volatile this week as politics in the US and Ukraine reared their ugly heads, but good jobs data in the US finally turned things positive and I managed to make a couple more buys and had another week of green. I also took another investment webinar which described an alternative sell strategy. That's the area where I'm always experiencing trouble—when to sell! I'm currently working with a 6% Trailing Stop, but I'm not satisfied with how it's working, so I'll be comparing my recent activity against this new idea. The new hockey season is a month old already, and we're beginning to take note of how the teams are looking this year. The Masters of curling was completed on Sunday with Brad Gushue winning it this year. The regular season in football ended today with a Rider victory! They play Edmonton in the first round of the playoffs next weekend. Go Green!
The big news in the Bailey family is a trip home by Liam to visit the family in Parksville. Rumour has it he may also spend some quality time at the Robinsons! Erica is making cinnamon buns in honour of his trip home from school. Another special notification is that Eric had an article published.
We've managed a few FaceTime chats with Erin and Kristian. They are progressing to better health. Kristian's eye is looking much better, but there remains much medical care left before we'll be comfortable with that situation. They have some snow in Regina, so Erin has scheduled the installation of winter tires on her car.
Trav & Joanna are off with his hockey team to Madison WI this weekend for a top notch tournament; they'll be in tough, but will hopefully learn a lot as well. They've also had two more league games this week. Their work continues to go very well, and they've been very busy with team and individual player photos for teams in this area and bucket decals production for teams even farther afield.
And that's about enough for this week.
