The Ever Given ship was

 finally dislodged and working its way out of the Suez canel. Bon voyage.

In other news the Oilers really blew it last night. 18 seconds in and Habs score. Oilers lost 4-0. That was the 13th game that McDavid was held without a point. We play Friday here at last entertaining the Calgary Flames and Saturday Vancouver.

Next Wednesday I'm in Northgate mall getting my first Covid 19 vaccine shot at 3pm. So far just taking it easy. Anyway, that's all for now.

7 days witthout Oilers hocky

and a week off and the Oilers lost in Overtime. Calgary won against the Jets, so that bought us some time & space. We play Toronto again Monday and Calgary plays Winnipeg again Monday. So, I'll be watching the Oilers Monday and following Calgary/Winnipeg's game.

The Ever Given in the Suez canal blocking shipping, is having an effect on the Clobal economy. More then 300 ships are in a holding pattern on both sides of the canel. 

The other day I bought Reflector 4 and an Apple TV trial subscription for Airplay so I can have my iPad pro on my tv monitor and a webcam. I'm not sure how often I'm going to use it. There are other screen mirroring services out there. I don't know how long I'm going to pay $10 a month. Anyway, that's all for now.

I managed to get

a new upload for my channel. We got our 2020 noa in, plus our refund. Refund came within 2 weeks of filing. Love it. 

Yesterday i bought Reflector 4, which lets me display with sound my iPad that has all my i0s apps. I liked this so much i subscribed to Apple tv just to use Reflector alone. Like Arcade, its an investment.

The idea was 3 Oilers/Montreal games this week. Monday, today and Friday. Until 2 Montreal Canadian players had to go in for Covid protocall's, which had those 3 games postponed to be played at some point in the future. 

Also, I had Home Care here for 2 days last week to do an assesment on my legs for compression. So now my case worker is just waiting for authorization so I can pick up my custom made stockings from the vendor. Anyway, that's all for now.

I got my Covid-19 vaccination

appointment set up so that's good. Its going to be either the Moderna or Pfizer one, not sure.

Our pair of Canadian geese visitors are back. A little earlier then last year. Usually they are here around mid April. Its the warmer weather that is drawing them back so early.

Tonight, I'm catching the Winnipeg jets/Oilers game. Both teams are tied for 2nd place in the North Division at 38 points each. Its a back to back tilt for the Oilers at 7pm. Other then that, I'm keeping busy. Anyway, that's all for now.

Home care was supposed to call

me this morning between 8-8:30 to ask some Covid questions but since they do compressions Tuesdays perhaps I got the day wrong, but they just called saying that they will be here at 11:30. Daylight savings changes and all of that. 

Before bed I was calling 811 Alberta health link to book my Covid 19 vaccine shot. I was told there was some confusion. They are going by per every day they are dropping a year beginning 1947. Today. Albertan's 75 and older are still getting their vaccines and those 40-64 are still able to book. My friend Frances (63) was able to book and has her appointment Wednesday, I think. By the time I'm able to book my appointment wont be until, Friday. I think.

There are a lot of things going on this week. Yesterday was daylight savings, Tuesday is my wife's birthday, Wednesday is Saint Patrick's day, Friday I book for my Covid vaccine, Saturday is the Spring Equinox, and in between all of that, starting tonight Oilers/Calgary and 3 other games beyond that. Plus I'm out every night for my walk around the block. In a way its a blessing I'm off work in between projects. Anyway that's all for now.

This week AHS has 40-64 year old age groups able to get the

Astra Zeneca Covid vaccine. Lots of people have signed up already and getting the shot. I might have heard this wrong but there is something like 400,000 Albertan's in that age group. My age group 65+ will be able to book next Monday. That doesn't mean I'll be getting the vaccine dose that day. it means I'll be getting it sometime soon. Alberta Health Services is recommending people of my age group and above take either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

In the 2nd intermission, its Oilers 6 Sens 0. Good score. We play these guys again Friday, then Vancouver Saturday. The Oilers are playing lose. I love it when they play like that.

I was supposed to have home care come in this morning (or so I thought) for compression stockings. I've got some swelling in both legs. More in my right then my left. I think in my right leg its water retention. Anyway, Anne and I are ok over here in Clareview. Just chillin. Well, back to the 3rd period. A nyway, that's all for now.

Not a lot going on

around here. Just watching the Oilers going through a losing streak and enjoying my time off. The Oilers lost 6 points up for grabs against Toronto. The Oilers almost had 3 back to back shutouts, if it wasn't for RNH scoring the only goal last night.

I'm waiting for my pension T4 forms to come in. They appear to be late coming in this year. 

If I get a tax return similar to last year's, and a bit of work over the next few months, I'm either saving up for an Apple m1 computer or upgrade this Windows one. Anyway, that's all for now.
