Yesterday we got to a high temperature

of +34*c. Today even hotter to ~ 35*c. And I'm feeling the heat. Even our budgie birds are labouring in this heat. Plus I have a full 5 hour shift ahead of me from 2-7pm. 

We're supposed to climb to ~ +35* today which is a record for us here in Edmonton. That's the big story around here is the heat.  The Habs lost game one last night to a score of 5-1 over Tampa. My prediction for this series is Tampa in 5. Sorry Canadians, but the important thing is you got this far taking out Toronto, Winnipeg and Vegas. 

Other then trying to beat the heat, not much else is going on. I'm hoping once this project is done tomorrow, I get some time off. Next project could be as early as next week. Anyway, that's all for now.

Montreal Canadians earned a

spot in the Stanley cup final. Very cool. Now all we need now is for New York Islanders to beat Tampa Bay lightning. Two Eastern teams Montreal representing the Clarence Campbell Western Conference, and either Newy York Islanders or Tampa bay lightning, reresenting the Prince of Wales. Thanks Covid, lol.

I'm working tonight and Saturday plus 3 days next week. I hope that's the end of it for awhile. I could use a couple of months off.

We're about to head into some really active warm weather, after today calling for some +32's, even some +34's. And we're going to have +27-+30's over the next week, uggh. 

Earlier I went and downloaded from the app store Synthmaster 2. Its got somehing like 2,000 patches its Auv3. Its a full synth capable of programing as well. I'm also enjoying my Loopcloud Studio account. Anyway, that's all for now.

Monday I received my 2nd dose

 of Pfizer. I had the say off but i probably could have worked the shift. I really hadn't experienced any side effects. It doesn't mean that I still can get Covid, it just means i've got another tool in the tool box to fight against it.

I alsmost bought the Sony Zv-1 Vlogging camera. At $800 Canadain it was a good deal, However I would need a few accesories, like the tripod and the Rode wireless go mic. I like the Sony because it can shoot in 4k and has a recording time of 70 minutes. Once all the accesories are bought, the camera will cost as much as my computer a few years ago.

I've still got hours for this week. Not sure when the project will end as its still up in the air. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on that a

Twitter post wouldn't cover. Earlier this week we began the new project. I got a full say of it tomorrow. Just watching the NHL play offs. Monday I have off to get my Covid 2nd dose. Two weeks after that I'd be fully vaccinated.

Today because 70% of this country's popeulation has 1 dose of a Covid-19 shot, Kenney has launched stage 3 of the open for summer economic relaunch plan. All Covid 19 health restrictions are lifted. No mask wearing and or social distancing. Mass crowds can gather at concerts and other events. Until all of Alberta has had to shots, watch hospitalization numbers climb 2 weeks into this. RIght now just  under 1 million Canadians have 2 shots. I'll be one of them Monday. Anyway, that's all  for now.

If this is my summer all I can say

 is bring it. I hope everything remains status quo pension wise. I like the job I have because its casual and part time. I might have some work coming up next week but they have limited hours. I wont mind sitting this one out I'll know more about my pension status for 2022 at the end of this month.

Next week I'll be booking for my 2nd Covid Phizer. Most likely I'll get my shot by the end of the month. Same place, Northgate mall. Anne can book her's at the end of this month. Its all good.

At noon I'll be checking in on Apple's WWDC 21. I'm working on the finale touches of a video for upload this afternoon. I'm trying to do one video music sketch a week. Also, at 6 is game #4 Winnipeg/Montreal of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Habs could sweep the series tonight and move on to round 4. I'll be watching that this evening to round out my day. Anyway, that's all for now.

Unless there is Another change

the CFL has announced yesterday that the league has ordered a return-to-play August 5th. By that time if hospitalization rates are holding under 500, stage 3 (early July) is a full reopen of the Alberta economy due to Covid 19. 

Speaking of which Stage 1 is now under way as of today. Spray parks are open, hair salons can now accept clients with certain conditions of course. Stage 2 might get under way mid June and Stage 3 early July. No restrictions.

Also it was announced that the Alberta Government will also allow anyone that got their Covid first vaccine dose before March that they can book their 2nd dose now. Those that got their first dose in April (me) can book June 14th for their 2nd shot. Those that got their first dose in May (My wife) can book their 2nd dose May 28th. This is good news. Anyway, that's all for now.
