I need to be better on top of things

because I had no idea that the CFL season was canceled. Its not like I didn't see any presser on it or anthing. I even changed my Facebook banner to reflect the Edmonton Football club training camp kick off game I thought was for 2pm. I'm hoping as we get more Covid vaccines into people's arms we can have some kind of a season begining July 1st.

All this week I've been working on a latin beat from Arcade samples, uploading them to iCloud and into my iPad and into Audio Share for AUM. I had a few challenges but it doesn't look like I'll have anything ready for this month.

This morning I filled out the 2021 Canadian census. It was pretty easy. It took about 5 minutes. I had work surveys that were more complicated then this. Anyway that's about all for now.

Its been a bit on the cold side lately

but that's mainly because of the wind. +15 isn't cold but we're on the shady part of the bilding. We're supposed to get warmer temperatures during the week.

EE CFL is underway with traning camp. Game 1 for the Edmonton 🏈football club. Its still not that clear what thanks to these sponsorship pressure for a name change. Too me the Edmonton Football club will always be called Eskimo's. Its never meant to be a derogetory or racist. Over sincitive pc types see racisim in just about evreything these days. Also Premier Kenney was saying that there could be a good chance there could be fans in the seats at Commonwealth this summer.

In about 5 weeks I'll be booking for my 2nd Covid dose, unless like some Provinces as vaccines become more availible, the 14 weeks in between doses is reduced. That'd be great if I can get it done by mid June. Anyway, that's all for now.

It the May long weekend

and other then the Oilers losing 2 in a row during the 1st round of the playoffs, its been an interesting couple of days. The Oilers are off to Winnipeg for 2 back to back games. They are in trouble.

I was able to get another You Tube video uploaded to my Jim Shannon on Sounds You Tube channel. And I'm now at 75 subscribers. I'm hoping to reach 100 by the end of the year. Its a long shot but I'm working on new content and hopefuly get 2 video's upload a month.

We've been geting some below seasonal weather lately.  We have a couple of rain days including holiday Monday next week. Also this weekend I'm going to fill out our census and work on a miRack upload. I've got enough to keep myself busy. Anyway, that's all for now.

We might have one more shift

tomorrow, hard to say. The last few days were the hardest. I'll do another project, not problem. Got to do something while under lock down. Hopefully we will have another project in the next few days. not sure yet.

We normally order from Horseshu pizza up the road from us but their in house home delivery is hit and miss. Instead (or 3rd time now?) we've ordered through Royal Pizza from Manning shopping centre not far away. We always order the extra sauce and our own personal small size pizza's. It did not dissapoint. The only thing is like Pizza 73, they don't have any dipping sauce.

Ever since ETS did their massive Bus network redesign, I haven't been on an ETS bus since when I went to get ny Covid shot mid April. We used to have 4 buses run by here. Now its just the #104 to Coilseum station. Kind of sucks but at least the #104 takes me to lodge whenever that opens up again. Hopefully in September. Anyway, that's all for now.

Last night about 10pm at Rogers Place Arena

Connor McDavid got 100pts in 56 games. Only 2 other players in NHL history did that: Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. What a time to be an Oilers fan. This pretty much earns him the Art Ross trophy.

Yesterday being mothers day, Anne and I just stayed home. My thoughts were of my own  mom that passed away December 2000. Anne went out to get us a Subway. I worked on my recent video upload and changed my logo.

Today I'm back at it for another 5 hours. Anything can happen but it looks like i've got enough of a project left to keep us going until Saturday. I hope its another 7.5 hour shift. I'll know in the later half of the week if I have another schedule for the week of the 17th. Anyway that's all for now.

Mothers day weekend

and yes, its slightly raining out there. We usually don't do anything special. What with Covid restrictions the Province has got all our favorite places to go out to eat in dining areas closed. But at least I got work tonight and tomorrow plus all of next week as well. 

Looks like Connor McDavid is going to get the few points remaining for the Art Ross trophy. Next win secures home ice advantage when the playoffs begin.

I haven't been on an ETS bus since the bus network redesign. No need to go anywhere anyway. Just relaxing and chillin my beans so to speak. Anyway, thats all for now.
