At first I thought about

getting a dedicated gaming computer. I like to game but mostly DOS, Retro or online games. Although I'm thinking about getting another handheld that has Onion OS pre installed and or maybe a Steam or Legion Go 2 device. I'm still not sure about any of the above yet.

On this date in 1987, an extensive search for the Loch Ness Monster reached its conclusion. Dubbed Operation Deepscan, the week-long project utilized sonar equipment valued at over one million pounds as well as a fleet of 24 boats. Aside from a few anomalous sonar blips, the expedition ended

with no tangible results to suggest the existence of the creature. It would not be the last massive undertaking to scour the Loch for the infamous beast, as the BBC used a myriad of modern technological devices to look for Nessie in 2003. Much like its predecessor 16 years earlier, this project also failed to yield an answer to the cryptozoological enigma.

Not only did the Elks break the 13 game winning streak against us the Visitors had but the Oilers  won as well. It was a good day for Edmonton sports teams. Also last nights Elks win means our playoff hopes are still in our hands. Anyway, that's all for now. 

When Super announced the shift

was ending at 7pm I was totaly elated. All of us were. An early start to the long weekend. That means 3 days off. We return Tuesday & Wednesday and wrap the project up Wednesday.

Today I have the Elks game at 5pm, an Plus there is WWE Crown Jewel. Plus @ 8pm, there's a Canucks/Oilers game on. Footbal/Hockey/Wrestling/ Should be a fun day  for Jimmy I got to post this and get some shuteye.

Since I began with Blogger I've always had it in standard mode. I asked Google if there is a Dark mode native to Blogger, Sadly there isn't but there is an Edge extention called "Dark Reader." After bed, I'm going to buy this extension. It's only Cad $13. Good deal. Also recently Blogger added an insert a Google search bar right into my post. this could be real handy for me. Anyway, that's all for now.

This work project could

last as late as next Friday or a day or 2 after this upcoming weekend. Without this seasonal work, I dont think I could even afford to live here. It would be tight. I probably couldn't do any subscriptions.

Known for his powerful tales of mystery and the macabre, author Edgar Allan Poe died under somewhat mysterious circumstances on this day in 1849, at the age of 40. On October 7, 1977. My favorite story of Poe's is "The cask of Almontillado." Alan Parsons Project did a song about this story.

While I can't say the name of the project I'm currently warking on, I got 7 complete. Which is pretty good. I could see working 3 days/week though. that I could do. My job is casual enough as it is.. Hopefully, we'll be done Friday. Then that's it for me. Anyway, that's all for now.

I thought there was

an Elks CFL football game on today. When actually it's on the 11 next Saturday. I even have it marked in my calendar. weird.

It's a day late but on October 4th 1582 was the last day of the Julian calendar, and the start of the Gregorian calendar as decreed by Pope Gregory XIII. In Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain, October 4 was followed directly by October 15. 

With the new branded micro 128Gb sd card I'm going to try and reformat the card. It needs to be formated to Fat 32. I'm using Rufus. This is the industry standard for formating sd cards greater then 50Gb. That's my prokect for today. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had my shift that ended

at 9pm last night, sleep and back at it this morning up at 8am for my 10-3pm shift. It's been a busy 24 hours

The weather is certainly changing. At the moment it's +10°C but it feels like +2°

For some reason I thought there was an Elks game on this weekend. but its next weekend. LOL Anyway, that's all for now. 

My lodge brother picked me up

last night, shortly after 6pm. Lodge was fun. Because it was an IPM night, it was good to see returning brothers I haven't seen in awhile. It waas good to see Brother Kelly in the East.

I hated to do this but I had to cancel the eye appointment today. I was so wiped out from Lodge, it would have been a struggle to make it through my shift tonight. I'm waiting for a call back to see if there's a better time, around 11-noon next week. 

Hard to believe next weekend is Thanksgiving weekend.. For the most part , we're into the low double digit weather paterns. As for tonight & Saturday, I'm working but that's ok. Anyway, that's all for now.

I tried numerous time

calling Rogers this morning at Bonny Doon Mall location. Failed each time. My Amazon tie, order was out for delivery. It was a last minute decsion to dress and get some traveling diet cola, and get that 11:40am bus. I was joined by other seniors waiting for the same bus. We were down there within 10 minutes. Apparently I can't set up auto pay at the store level. I was getting off the bus at 1:15pm for home. In and out.

Riding the elevator with some of the other seniors, I asked if we will have a polling station in our building for the upcoming civic election. They confirmed that to be the case. 

When I got home, no Amazon order. It's still out for delivery. With any luck, I'll have a new tie to Lodge. Anyway, that's all for now.
