I'm up and awake with some hot coffee

here this morning contemplating my day. Like I said on My Facebook (Fb) page, we're waiting delivery of our replacement refrigerator this morning. We're expecting a phone call first. I told Anne they want us to empty the fridge first but Anne said most of it is going to the garbage and that will take 10 minutes. I don't think they have 10 minutes Anne, besides she wants me home today because management has given us a notice to come in at anytime today, when the fridge arrives.

After the fridge episode, Anne's getting ready for work fixing us lunch. About 1pm (I'll be out of her way) I'll be on You Tube listening to 5 hours of Artfx Drum & Bass channel punctuated by lunch, bathroom breaks etc. Art usually posts every Friday from Holland. The chat community is world wide. Anne wants me home today because management has given us a "24 hour enter suit" notice for the fridge. I can understand that.  

Other then the above, not much else is going on this weekend. I'll be working on my track, reading, Internet shenanigans and going on my 2k walk for Saturday. Monday, its the CFL labour day classic Calgary/Edmonton and Monday night Raw. The take out burger I had at BP's last night was really good even though its a bit more expensive then Wendy's or Mc D's. They could have given me a few more fries. I like BP's and its better then that salty Fat burger I had a few years ago. So, that's basically my weekend. Sounds exciting? Not really but what you going to do huh? Anyway, that's all for now.

Is this really for real

that I'm making 2 back to back blog posts? Yes and for the first time in many months, as I'm posting less on Fb. Some people might think I'm becoming obsessive over there and since this blog (or so I think) doesn't get that traffic here. in other words, more posting here, less there.

🤔The heals of my feet are heavily calloused. Yet this came as a bit of a surprise when the 3 month old athletic compression stockings revealed a whole about the size of a quarter in them. I'm on the Aids to Daily Living (ADL) program, where I get a discount on compression stockings where I get 3 pair of compression stockings per cycle/year. My next cycle won't be until November 17th. Normally these compression stockings should last 6 months according to Google. When I was visiting the foot nurse at Northgate last April (2019) she said I should buy 2 pair of stockings and alternate them every other day. Note to self.

My ssd c:\\ drive (as of about an hour ago) was down to mb of space out of its 120Gb space overall. I uninstalled a program I wasn't using and back up to 1.92Gb of free space. I was looking for gaining more hard drive space solutions: Do I get an m.2 drive and clone onto that or another ssd drive and get a docking station and clone from there? In the end I think that's what I'm going to do this autumn. Ideally I'd love to clone my Xp drive to a partition so I can use my Works processor. I like open office but I don't want to pay for a bundle of programs just to get one. Anyway that's all for now. 

In my decision to spend less time

on Facebook and more time of my music production was an easy decision too make. I'll be posting very few or sharing meme's anymore to my wall but I will share stuff I like between my friends, and comment on their Fb wall's and post a "like" or a sticker once a week to keep in touch. The best way for any of my friends to contact me is by phone Thursday-Saturday after 3pm is fine, or by email or in messenger. Messenger is best bc it pings on my iPod. And of course, I'll be posting here a couple times/week.

Its a crazy world out there what with the Amazon jungle forest fires. The G7 leaders in France, first ever "crime" committed in space, Hong Kong protests, crazy. 

Anyway, on that note, this week; tonight its TV wrestling, tomorrow the same and out for my 2k walk Wednesday. I'd like to break away to get a haircut this week, so not a lot going on moving into the labour day weekend. I tried ordering a piece of software from a Visa gift card yesterday but the company wouldn't accept it 😃 I'll use that to pay for my haircut etc. That's all for now. 

Apparently we've had about 20

days this summer of +25C and over. Right now we're situated at +19, which is just right by me. Anne's off for work and I get a couple nights off 😃

Korg has their annual summer sale until Saturday. I'm really tempted to get Korg Gadget 2 for the PC.  It's 50% off normally for $300. I've been enjoying Gadget 2 on my iPad but I can get better functionality using Gadget 2 on my PC. 

I got a lot of Happy birthday well wishes yesterday from family and friends. Thanks everyone. As for the next few days, nothing much is going on. I got no BBQ's, no pay per views. Most likely I'll go out and treat myself Saturday for a burger and a beer or something, well see. Anyway, that's all for now.

I get lazy in the summer but

not so much as I don't want to get out and at least get some exercise. I haven't been out since Sunday but tomorrow, I'll be 67 and I'm going to get out then for my walk about.

So when I get my dentures, if the current company I'm employed with has ceased operations, I'll be looking for work. I just want something 3 days a week. I'm getting board hanging around here all the time. I felt like getting out of here earlier to run up to the old office to see if there are lights on in the building. I can even see during the afternoon because the windows are in the shade of the 2 story walk up. Same for the "new downtown location." My next dental appointment is September 9th. I've got half an hour of teeth cleaning, and an hour in the chair to possibly pull 4 teeth and impressions for my upper dentures (I'm hoping).

Other then the above, my birthday today plus my 2k walk about for tomorrow and Friday plus Artfx's DnB channel, Esks/Winnipeg. I'm out visiting a friend Saturday to place a small Amazon order on his account and maybe go out for some lunch. Anyway, that's all for now.

I attempted a live stream earlier on my channel

Shannon on Sounds but I failed to hit the "Go live" button. I don't want to do another live stream because Anne's going to call at any time. So, I'll have to start again from there after she calls.

It took a couple of days but the bleeding in my gums have stopped. My trip to the dentist isn't something that I want to do all the time but my experience wasn't that bad. 

My trip to the dentist isn't something that I want to do all the time but my experience wasn't that bad. I'm going to try and get as many teeth out as I can endure the next time. I felt no pain, just the pleasure of having the teeth extracted. There will be no root canal's at least. My trip to the dentist isn't something that I want to do all the time but my experience wasn't that bad.

Tomorrow, I'm leaving out of here about 2pm to get my haircut at Abe's and then to Londonderry mall food court. Then check out Lids. They have an Oilers pullover I'm interested in getting for ~$60. Then if there's time I'll go into 66 get a cold beer and catch the first half of the Eskimo/Argo's game. Maybe spend $5 on the vlt's if there's time.

That was quite the ordeal

at least for me yesterday. I hadn't been to a dentist in over 20 years. I had some breakfast earlier at Belmont Tim's, then checked in. I had a long wait and they were running behind on the teeth cleaning. The hardest part of the visit was the teeth cleaning, because I had to swallow back up water every 30 seconds and I had some pain in some areas for when they needed to use the water pressure to break up a lot of tarter back up that formed into stone like material. They were running on Alberta Government time and could only get about 1 hour of the 1.5 hours they needed for cleaning. 


I was really nervous about the extractions part. The major problem tooth had a long root. Almost an inch in length. I felt the Doctor put pressure on me but I didn't feel any pain. The other extraction was about half an inch and it went by really fast, including the stitching. I was there for about 2 hours. Anne came over and picked me up and my next visit (September 9th) will be to finish the cleaning and a couple more extractions.  At least I know what to expect. They gave me some gauze to work with. I'm not allowed to rinse until after 24 hours, which will be at 3pm this afternoon. Salty lukewarm water. We took a cab home. I was holding up ok but got into some pain about 7pm last night once the initial sedative wore off. I took a couple of pain killers and that got me through the night even though my gums were bleeding, but not like a nosebleed. I was able to sleep alright. I'm okay now. All in all my dental experience was pretty good. The Alberta Government pays for everything. Hopefully before the end of the year I'll have full dentures. I'm just worried on how fragile they will be.

Tonight, I'm watching Smackdown from Toronto. Wednesday out on my walk. Thursday I'm home, Friday Artfx/Eskimo's/Argo's. Looking forward to this one. Saturday is our lodge bbq but it doesn't look like I'll be able to snag a ride. We're all the way out South West Edmonton. Anyway, that's all for now.

Monday my dental appointment

is for 12:45pm. Anne wants me to get something from Tim's, which is almost next door. First thing the Doctor is going to do is clean my teeth. Then come the 3 extractions. I just hope there are no root canal's because they are about $2,500 and the Alberta Government only gives me $5k to work with. If its necessary we can dip into the Visa and our savings. I'll find all of this out Monday. I'm looking forward to this in some ways and other ways not. 

Last nights CFL football game between Ottawa/Eskimo's was a real defensive battle. The visitors kept the game within 2 points. 10-12. We coughed up 3 opportunities to go for a field goal and we turned the ball over on downs a couple of times. Finally we scored a major but we couldn't get the 2 points for the conversion. It was 12-16 in the 4th quarter. Ottawa had possession of the ball with seconds on the clock but on their finale play after thwarting them several times with incomplete passes, we won on an incomplete pass. What an exciting game. We even had WWE's Roman Reigns do the ceremonial coin toss because before the wrestler became a WWE Superstar he was an Edmonton Eskimo football player in 2008. He only played 5 games, but still. Thanks Joe. Right now we're still 4th in the West. Up next we're in Toronto next Friday.

I'm going to be working on a Drum & Bass track today and Sunday is Summerslam and my 2k walk. Next week I have my big dental appointment Monday. Plus my 2k walk every other day and healing for that week. Saturday I have a lodge bbq. That's if I'm able to eat anything substantial. I have a full week ahead. Anyway that's all for now.

The 2nd plumber said there

is nothing wrong that he could tell. The trouble isn't here. The leak is coming from downstairs in a leak there because we have our shower on. "I'll investigate and get back to you," or something like that. 

Maybe smoking her out
will wake her up. Does she read my blog? I don't know. When will I attempt "to smoke her out?" Most likely around early October. How will I do this if she doesn't read this blog? By way  of a friend. I won't name this person publicly. If this person wont respond to my phone call and talk with me over the phone then, I'll be forced to tell to those close to her that live with her what happened over those last 9 months last year. They need to know. Some of those secrets would put her in an awkward spot. You can call me, Thursday, Friday, Saturday after 3pm.

I'll have 2 dental appointments (in the same day) next Monday for teeth cleaning. I hope I'll have enough in this fund the Alberta Government gives me to cover extractions and full dentures. I have 3 extractions. I just hope I have no root cannel surgery. Anyway, that's all for now. 

That was one heck of rain storm

we had about 7:30earlier this evening. We had lightning, thunder the works. While it wasn't as bad as Friday, it was still intense.

Tomorrow I'm going to call Healthcare solutions as I think I have one more pair of compression stocking in my Aids to Daily living Cycle at the $12 price or whatever it is. I'll call first. If I can pick up the stockings, I'll get my haircut at Abe's North town (across the street) and then into Wendy's for some lunch. I might get that done tomorrow. Well, that's the plan hopefully. Anyway that's all for now.

Friday, at last

its here. Every day is a Friday when your retired it seems. The good news its Artfx day. Its going to be a hot day today, so its a good day to stay inside watching drum & bass goodness. Which also means the hot day will jeopardize my 2k walk.

Saturday I'd like to go to a book store downtown as I have a Amazon Prime contact that will let me share his account. After that, I might buy the iPod touch 7th Gen. Not sure about that thought. Sunday Anne wants to go to Royal pizza. We usually go out once every other month. Then we usually go to Dairy Queen right after that, our bus back to the LRT and home

This weekend is Heritage day weekend and a long weekend. The City of Edmonton wants to work long hours to get the track laid downtown for Valley line. Looking forward to taking this line when it gets built. Anyway that's all for now.
