Usually I like to get up out of bed

about 11am. This way I can get my morning routine out of the way, sit down with my juice and coffee, get caught up with events overnight, write a blog post, my diary, answer email, that sort of thing. With 2 hours left of  my morning time, most of the above is done.

I got to know Tom Petty's music through the "Traveling Wilburys." I have the 2 CD's. I was never into "The Heartbreakers," but I liked "Full moon fever." I wasn't really a follower of Tom Petty but whenever his music was around, I'd perk up and smile. His music was accessible. Tom petty to me was a Wilbury, then Tom Petty solo. I have a lot of good vibes listening to Tom Petty's music. He had that distinct voice.

Last night on the way home, I didn't think about my iPod Touch. I had it since December 2014. After work, I slip it into my T-shirt pocket before I log off, sign out and dash out for my bus. I couldn't find it when I needed it this morning before bed and I was in a panic looking for it. Most likely its where I left it. I'm anxious about it. Of course since these things have a four digit pass code, its useless to anyone. Only my wife and I know the pass code. I want to pay off my Circuit account next week, not buy a new iPod. Most likely its still there by my station, or Super noticed it and put it in his drawer for when I go in later today. He checks each station, making sure people have the right project code and hours, then he closes off each system one by one. "Oh, Jim left his iPod behind, better put it in my desk."

I'm still reading a bit each day on "Way of Kings." Its a big novel and I'm on page 477/1,258. This author writes well. Its easy to tell that he's making it up as he's going along. Kind of like my approach to "song writing." Incidentally I have a new Circuit track I'm trying to get up onto my You Tube channel but our isp has been very sketchy lately. The isp guy is hear latter this afternoon. Anyway, that's all for now.

With just 2 more

games left in the Oilers pre season, the club is 5-0. No where in Oiler history has the team ventured into this territory. Now if this translates into a few wins in the early go in the regular season, they'll be off to a good start. The only down side is unless I want to watch the pre season games I have to go to video on demand. It'll cost me. 

I'd like to get into playing iOS games on my iPod Touch, but with the 6th Gen iPod out makes this iPod look like a trot next to a marathon. The camera is a lot better from a 5mp to 8mp. The loop connector is gone (which I've never used on my 5th gen anyway) The inside chip is faster. The 5th gen single core read write benchmarks are 218 416. The 6th gen has a multi core and its read write speeds are significant at 1383 2442. Game play is going to be super fast. Before that though, I need my lodge dues covered and my desktop upgrade with a bigger hard drive. Then maybe in the new year I can start thinking about a new iPod touch for games.

Anne and I are leaving out of here at about 3pm this afternoon. I'm going to investigate a job lead. I used to work at this place last year for a few days but the other job was offering me more hours and more money. So I'm going to see if they'll take me back and this time, I wont bail on them. It'll be my primary job. They pay more then my current job that has no work for its employees. If my current job has work I can work 2 days. I'll leave the door open for my current job. Anyway, that's all for now.
