Last Thursday I went and got my

Covid 3rd dose "Booster" shot as it's called. The Booster is in reaction to the Omicron variant. The difference this round is I got the shot at the Pharmacy in Franco's strip mall Hermitage and 50th street. Same type Phizer, which according to a presser, "completely naturalizes". the Omicron variant. The shot didn't cost me anything. 

Anne and I had a nice Christmas. Late Christmas evening we had her Christmas turkey dinner. I enjoyed it. We usually exchange gifts on Christmas eve after Anne returns from mass but Covid changed that for many. Anne told me that her sister Donna in Winnipeg, separated the unvaccinated from the vaccinated so mass can be enjoyed by all. Our family is Anglican but I've never known mom or dad to participate in anything like church. If they did, it would be St. Lawrence by Parkland school. No doubt their last participation would have been when my younger brother was baptized

The James Web space telescope was launched Christmas morning as it's on its way to the L2 point 1.5 million miles away from earth. It should reach that point 29 days since launch. After a bunch of tests. We should see early images sometime in June.

As for yours truly, I'm trying out a new font. This doesn't look like Comic Sans. This week is the last week of the year. It's been a heck of a year, what with Anne causing a small kitchen fire, in July and us moving into Wyndham crossing next door, yeesh. The good news is there was no loss of my income in 2021. That could be a good or bad thing. Won't know until August. About tax time, I might need to work 3 days a week. This week I've got to call Walmart today, and Healthcare solutions. I'm about to have another track uploaded to Jim Shannon on sounds this week. Not much going on other than that. I'm still active on  FacebookThis might be my last post for 2021. I'll be back in the New Year. Happy New Year everyone. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm expecing my employer to call

between 1-3pm, saying she's out in the parking lot and has my holiday gift bag for me.  Also, I could be receiving my Camlink this weekend. I hope it's today.

Sad entertainment news this week hearing about the death of Mike Nesmith of the Monkees at 79. Speaking of age and dying, I'll be 70 later next year. That's kind of scary. 

Not much going on this weekend. Next week, Monday my job is having a holiday party over "Teams." It's just for a few hours. Tuesday, I'm off to get my Covid Booster shot Kennedale Shoppers drug mart. Wednesday Anne and I want to try a place we haven't tried since about the time we got married: Canyon grill in the Rosslyn hotel. They have everyday breakfast, Then we have Christmas weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

What Camlink does is

connect a mirrorless or DSLR camera to the computer. Most cameras (including my new Sony ZV-E10) has a micro USB slot. I bought a micro HDMI to a full-size HDMI cable, so it fits into the Camlink from the camera. The other end of the Camlink has a USB 3 end to the computer. The Camlink is about the size of a flash thumb drive. Camlink is made by Elgato and sells for ~ $170. I found it on Amazon for Cad $136😀 I save ~ $35! It should be here between now and next Monday.

Other than the above, I'm enjoying my time off. I have a critical lodge Zoom meeting tomorrow night. Looking forward to this. However, I'm anxious to get back to work.

Next Monday is our staff Christmas party over Zoom. Should be fun. Also on the 21st I'm going in for my Covid Booster shot. It's not being held at an AHS outlet. Anyway, that's all for now.

Friday at last

and the weekend. There may be a new video upload to Jim Shannon on Sounds this weekend as well, idk yet.

This week I've been getting one too many robocalls. Call control is a way to screen for unwanted calls since we don't have voice mail. As I understand it when somebody calls something that sounds like an answering machine comes on. "This number has call control. Press # (random single-digit number) to get through." I can add a number onto a list like a Do not call (DNC). Most of these robocalls are sophisticated to use a different number each time. Anyone I know, whether they are struggling with me or not that has my home phone # can call between 10-3pm. If I know you, I'll pick up. I won't be rude. We're night Owls, so our bedtime is like 4am. 

I booked my Covid booster shot. I'll be at the Kennedale Shoppers Drugmart on the 21st at 1pm. If Mcdonald's is open I'll get a bite to eat.   

Yesterday was our

21st wedding anniversary. We'll be in our '90's if we see 50 years.  I was in my 40's when Anne and I got married back in 2000.

I finally got that Cubase track loaded up on my YouTube channel. Reastream, OBS, screen rec, none of these worked for me. All I did was record the video, render in place the audio synched both assets in Shotcut, and render the video, which recorded sound and video. Easy.

Yesterday at the Doctor's I got a pneumonia shot, and also an ECG, plus prescriptions for most of my meds. Anne filled 2 of them for me last night.

I'm determined to figure out why my Nintendo Switch on-screen font is reversed when in streaming mode. Anyway, that's all for now.
