Saved $40 bucks off my Rogers Bill

Okay so here is a little trick I have learned about Rogers. With all the new competition out there they are more concern about just keeping the number of customers and not the revenues as much. I called them this week to end my HD extra package cause my Sens were out of the playoffs at the same time I asked them about another channel to add. Now the channel was LS times. On there website there was no mention of needed to have Fairchild added in order to be able to order this channel and on the Rogers note they don't mention it as well until you try to order it. Told them since there was no mention of it that I would of like to add that channel but not add Fairchild. So the rep stated that if they could do something where I get the channel and not have to pay extra for the Fairchild channel would I be interested so I said yes. In the end I found out there are some interesting promotions going on that only if you call you can get. they are not posted right now but are only avaliable if asked.

First you can get a 20% discount now for a year on their cable service even after you had the service for a while. The same goes for Cable. Also they have begun to waive the System access fee on the home phone on a case by case basis if you complain to them and have wireless with them as well.

Hope this tibit helps.

It has been a while

Okay I did take a bit of time off from posting blogs. Really had alot to do at work and think about. Also my work on the Baneblade has stalled. Oh well that is life and you have to make due with things. I have started back doing Ebay and looking at ways still to get extra income. Man owning your first home there are alot of bills to pay and things to do.

Strange name

So I went to the local 7-11 today to get a bag of chips. Found this one strange. Lays has a Chip flavour called fries with Gravy. Just thinking really isn't it just Gravy flavoured chips. So I tried it to see if there is that meaty fries taste. Not really just crips chips. Now a flavour I would be interested in is poutine. Gravy with a cheese product. They could do gravey and cheese powder. Okay that is just a heart attack waiting to happen but hey you only live once.

Blaneblade update

Okay so I have started to assemble the model but I have realized something I forgot to do. Gennerally I like to prime the model before I assemble cause there are some hard to reach areas. Along with the primming I do like to do a bit of a rough paint on the internal parts that you can see behind something. Good thing I only assembled one side of it not the whole thing first before I realized it. Anyways I do find that the moldes they do and the hinges used to connect the models do leave much to desire.

Comparing them to other models I have done in the past I do find one advantage is they do paint better than most other models. Updated pics soon.

Baneblade pics

Here is the first picture of the unassembled model kit. Not much to look at now but just wanted to do a before picture to show the sprues.

The second picture is the goodie Forgeworld bits to change the Baneblade into a Stormsword. As with most resin pieces there will be some work to do on the extra bits. Also I have noticed some cracks in the casting but since this was a old and used model can't do a return. Either way this is going to be my entry into the www.gamesummit.ca painting competition.

I am hoping the assembly and sanding will take me the first weekend. The next set of pictures will be a partially assembled and sanded model. Likely will do priming on it and some conversions.

Forgeworld Baneblade Stormsword

Okay for my gamesummit painting competition entry for heavy support I decided to go with painting the Forgeworld Stormsword tank that I got at the last Game Summit in Ottawa last year. Pretty much a Baneblade plastic model with the top being all resin with the Stormshadow variants. I will post pictures of my progress and techniques I will be using.
