Enjoying my summer

off and hopefully next week the new project begins. Whatever it is. not much going on. I'm trying to save up for my Sony a6400 vlogging camera. Its a birthday present for myself.

At the moment I'm tinkering around with a UK Drill beat but i'm having some issues with the playhead in Fl. Studio.  Not sure why its moving so fast. 

The Elk's new Season begins August 5th and the Oilers are back to their pre season              September 26th. First time we're going to have CFL and Oilers seasons overlap. Anyway that's all for now.

Just enjoying my summer

Looking forward to when I can socialize again. I'm considering North Eastern Seniors Association (nesa). One bus ride away is Londonderry mall, and after nesa, get a bite to eat at Albert's, and the bar 66 is behind Albert's and play the slots for a bit. I want to get an Edmonton Elk's hat at Lids as well. 

Speaking of Sports the Oilers have released their pre season schedule September 26th and it overlaps the CFL regular season in progress. In October there will be games 3-4 times a week in some places. Anyway that's all for now.  

Its been a busy week

Anne is doing her usual Friday night shift. I had some work for tomorrow but with what we're faced with, I'm exhausted so I took a break and will do the next project. She has a Zoom meeting with her higher ups for 1pm.

Yesterday I had to go to the post office over here by the Clareview shopping centre to get out a time sensitive document. I sent it out by express mail. I also cashed in my $20 scratch and win winnings as well.  With all the forest fires in BC, the air quality index has been high and a bit more difficult in breathing. Plus having a mask on because of Covid didn't help.

Earlier this week I put in an application for something called Greater Edmonton foundation. Its basically saying that your housing in their buildings stays at 30% of ones annual income. It doesn't really help us that much unless its just employment income and not all sources of household income. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its been a crazy week

 Some things I'm not at liberty to day right now. What Anne and I are being faced with is life changing. Nobody is dying so relax.

Not much is really happening, except the above. I released a new video last night to my You tube channel. My channel's logo is about to change as I want it to reflect what the channel is about. I'm changing my logo to read Shannon on Sounds in a circle with Loops, Apps, plugins, Fx Experimental, sketches within a circle. 

The new release that Nintendo had last week looks interesting but Like the iPad pro 11 inch and 12 inch Nintendo might go that route. I'm just going to stick with what I have.  Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm having some time off at the

moment. We're also back to more comfortable weather conditions. This is just the way I like it +17 but temperatures are to going up to +27 tomorrow, so we're in for a few hot days yet.

We had a kitchen fire over the weekend which inspired Anne to get a dry fryer. We had the “handy man” here to fix our leaky faucet and the plumber is in tomorrow just to make sure everything is sealed and works ok. We got a new faucet that has no taps, which is different. The fire we had chard one of the cupboard doors. Its in the shop being sanded and stained. The main concern is our stove as its in itself is a fire hazard. The fire which began on the stove pretty much burned the stoves overhead. We're getting that back, soon, and hopefully a new stove.

At least I have time off to get all of this done. Anyway, its game #5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs tomorrow in Tampa Bay. At least the Habs won one game. So that's about all for now.

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.
