It feels good getting back to work

and all yesterday. Even better leaving with a bit of daylight left as the Sun is setting closer to 9pm every day. For the most part everything has dried up out there. We got to 22 degrees yesterday👍

After plenty of posts on Connect 2 Edmonton, and several days later, I feel I can comment on Monday's tragic incident in Toronto. The motive it seems was out of incel. Or one being incel. Its misogynistic to say the least. #Toronto strong. 

Is tonight's game #7 Leafs/Boston going to be it for the Leafs? Or are they going to advance to the 2nd round? I'll be following the game at work. This is another case why a cell phone data plan would come in handy. It'd be nice to know when that #5 incoming bus would get to my stop. We wouldn't need the data plan in the summer. Something to think about. Anyway, that's all for now.

My other job has yet to call me

saying they have work. My last contact was Good Friday week and I said I'd go into the office to pick up a small cheque. Its only for 4.5 hours. When I called the boss last week he said one of the projects they are hoping for are currently in negotiations with. So far I haven't been called back. I don't want them to think I quit or anything. So I've got to call them today.

I felt bad for Calgary Flames fans because they got swept playing Anaheim 4-0 last night after an amazing run down the regular season home stretch. The score in last nights contest was 3-0 Anaheim. Don't worry Flames fans, the way we're playing lately we're not that far behind. The only differences is we finished better then you did in the regular standings and our team Captain Connor McDavid won the Art Ross award. And we lasted a bit longer then you guys did. Its not do or die for us just yet. No need to panic. Our series is tied but the visitors this evening have momentum.

It seems like when ever I buy something like hardware, shortly after that the company makes a better version. This happened when I bought Native instruments Maschine Mk2 about 5 years ago. Shortly after that NI went and brought out Maschine Studio just as I was making my last payment on Maschine Mk2. Now its happening again with Novation's Circuit. Now they are about to release Circuit mono. Its kind of like a modified bass station with Circuit pads as an after thought. I don't know if Circuit mono is better, its not even  in stores yet.  

After I call the boss this morning, I'm out of here to get some bank forms for my 2 pension supplements, then off to work. The good news is the lady that drives my buddy and I home after work will be in tonight, so I can make it back in time for what's left of the 1st period and we'll have the game on in the car radio. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm still not sure how best to use

Periscope. I just made another broadcast (my 2nd) about reading my book in the Horus Heresy series. I forgot to save the broadcast to my camera roll but my iPod was running low on battery. I'll be playing around with this more and more over the next couple of days.

The Montreal Canadians lost their series against Tampa Bay 4-2. There are no Canadian teams now in the playoffs. Essentially this means that's hockey for for 2014-15 is over. Bring on the Oiler's off season.

Anne took a call for me while I was out. My Doctor called and said he wants me to go in for a X-ray as I believe I have early dysphagia. Hopefully I can treat it and its not a prelude to throat cancer. I'll be calling him when I get up out of bed later.

I missed my CTV news as they were running a 2 hour "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." broadcast. I'm not really into this series as much as I think I should. I was really into the comic books in the 1960's. This TV series is nothing like the original Nick Fury agent of Shield. That's my S.H.I.E.L.D. This series looks good but I just can't get into it. Anne and I aren't even into Doctor Who since Mat Smith left. Anyway, that's all for now.

That was a landslide

Alberta NDP victory. The NDP won 53/87 seats. Our Wild rose candidate came in last as Edmonton went total NDP. Interesting. The PC's won only 11 seats and Jim Prentice resigned. I only have 2.5 years until I get my pension during a 4 year NDP regime. I hope I can keep the status quo going relatively unscathed until pension.

What with it being so cold when we went out to vote about 6:30pm last night, the weather forecast is calling for snow over night. We can get a May snow storm and its been known to happen a lot more often over the last few years. It wouldn't surprise me to go into work today seeing a blanket of snow on the ground this afternoon.

I was flipping the channels watching election results and the Ducks/Flames game. The Flames won in OT. So I'm out of here at my usual time 2pm to get to my usual spot and read for half an hour. Anyway, that's all for now.
