I received a notice

from Amazon that my Nintendo  Switch 1 charging adapter will be arriving sometime today. 😀This means that once it get's here, I'll be able to charge my device and then see if I can connect to the Internet. If not (as I suspect) it means it's my internet connection. I don't even think it's that alone, because Telus is sharing a default connection. If that's even possible.

On May 20, 1916, the small town of Codell, Kansas was struck by a tornado. But what was truly incredible was Codell was hit by a tornado on the same date in 1917, and yet again in 1918. Further, all three storms came  through around the same time-- in the early evening.

When Anne returned from getiing our burgers from Carls jr, she bought a box of Krispy kreme donuts. I didn't think the donuts were all that special. The burger was good though. I'll order that again. Anyway, that's all for now. 

 

I had an easy

day today. This morning I had an Amazon order. Two usb 3 port hubs, 3 usb c/c cables & 2 4 pack usb-3 usb C adapters. Just 3 small items, my $75 order should be arriving this weekend.  

The c to c are 6 feet. I wanted 1o foot ones but they were not Apple MFi certified. The USB 3 Hub extender wikk give me more ports on my computer. 

Yesterday, I used the Windows game bar screen recorder, (it's free) to record a 20 minute video. Works really good. Anyway, that's all for now. 

I tried numerous time

calling Rogers this morning at Bonny Doon Mall location. Failed each time. My Amazon tie, order was out for delivery. It was a last minute decsion to dress and get some traveling diet cola, and get that 11:40am bus. I was joined by other seniors waiting for the same bus. We were down there within 10 minutes. Apparently I can't set up auto pay at the store level. I was getting off the bus at 1:15pm for home. In and out.

Riding the elevator with some of the other seniors, I asked if we will have a polling station in our building for the upcoming civic election. They confirmed that to be the case. 

When I got home, no Amazon order. It's still out for delivery. With any luck, I'll have a new tie to Lodge. Anyway, that's all for now. 

A revised

update on our Amazon order is now Sunday. Which is great.

Folk fest weekend is underway underway. Our residence is about 2 blocks away off Connors Road.

It's been a steady staple in Edmonton but was suspended during Covid a few years ago but back in fine form. The Cary West festival is also happening this weekend. We had a nice day of rain, so its a good weekend of outdoor festivals.

Anne did a bottle run earlier and brought me back an A&W burger and fries, and a bucket of KFC. Having a good time today. Anyway, that's all for now. 

My employer's tech contractor

went to work optimizing my work laptop. They do this once a month. For this we get a small stippend several times a year for monitoring the setup process. 

Anne and I made a combined Amazon order. I'm getting a lightning in USB A out to computer twin pack 6 foot cable. Also is a monitor iPhone/webcam holder. Hopefully this will work. I want to turn my iPhone into a webcam. Anne ordered a hand held electric fan. I like this because its magnetic, and the cell phone can slide right up to the edge of the monitor. The mount can even tilt over the monitor. Pretty cool huh? Anyway, that's all for now,

Sometime this afternoon we are

heading to Clareview Rec centre for advance polls. After that over to BP's.

My camera cage order was delivered just before noon yesterday. Works as advertised. I just need some better lighting. I'm looking at getting the Neewer twin pack 660 pro 2 video lights with C stands. It's priced at $365. Not bad.

Yesterday's pre-season Elks/Stampeders CFL game wasn't on TV. They had a half-hour delay of the game due to the AQI. Stamps won 29-24 bombers are in town Saturday. Anyway, that's all for now.

Anne didn't put up much of a fight

when I told her I bought 3 items from Amazon I bought a lens filter ($18) for my Sony camera. Also in that order was a Camera cage as well to protect the camera. The cage has 1/4" holes in it and a cold shoe. The cage will allow me to mount the camera to my Sony tripod in a vertical position to help prevent rolling shutter.  Apparently. Also in that order, I bought a blue tooth speaker for my iPad. The whole order cost me $135. It will be here on tomorrrow. 

It's been a very smoking week, other than Wednesday. Yesterday forest fire smoke got so thick a drone shot almost blanketed the image. AQI was @ 11 today. More of this over the next few days. Not a nice Victoria day long weekend.

Anne ordered us Royal Pizza for diner which was real nice. I've got a video I want to upload for today Going to try a picture in a picture. See how that turns out. Anyway, that's all for now.
