Our modem & cable set box is tied to the light switch

on the wall. I didn't know this but earlier when I got to the computer, our Internet/phone was down. There is a small button on the modem that lets us shut down the modem brelfy. The modem has to lights that both should be green. One was amber. I tried to rest themodem, 3 times. Nothing. When Anne woke up about 4pm, she laughed saying she hit the wrong switch on the wall. She reset our internet etc, in time for me to watch Wrestling and some of the hockey game. Habs lost Over Time. 3-2. 

The math on Canada’s plan for 12 new submarines doesn't quite add up. South Korea's Hanwha Ocean is bidding with subs that need 50 crew members each. But Canada reportedly only has 200 submariners total—just enough to staff 4 ships,

without even factoring in crew rotations or base staffing. If we assume a deployment of 3 subs each for the Pacific, Atlantic, and Arctic theatres, the logistics look incredibly tight. Plus, each submarine comes with a hefty $2 billion price tag.

This week, I'm preparing the music for our upcoming Master Mason degree. I can't organize that until Friday because I have another degree coming up for Chapter Thursday. I'm going to be busy this upcoming week, with Chapter and Lodge music. Anyway, that's all for now.

 

My ride to

Chapter practice picked me up 12:30pm. I set my iPad up and music ready. There were 6 sections loaded and everyone on time and on cue. I even did the intrduction spot on. I was home by 3:15pm, and had a nap for about 2 hours. I watched most of the Vegas/Ave's game, and Denver is in trouble. 0-3 in the series.

I missed Lon Milo Duquette's "Sunday School" talk earlier. It was on Penticost and "prayer." Good talk though.

Today, I'll be confirming Rogers if my auto pay is done properly since I did it at home Also, I was having difficulty with my hdmi cable connecting to my tv. Not sure what's going on with that. Usually if it's the same type, one size fit's all, or so one would think. Also tonight is Game #3 Carolina/Montreal and Monday night Raw. Should be a good one. Anyway, that's all for now.

Anne and I headed out to Bonnie

doon mall. I had Anne's walker with me. It's old andcrippled up, like me. It job. I need my own walker. Very handy for Lodge. Our first desitnation was the Tailor shop behind RBC. Anne had found a nifty bus pass holder pouch at Value Vilage, similar to the old one that I would wear over my neck. She had this plastic material item that would be good for a bus pass holder she wanted to have it sewn on. 

It's a multi purpose hung over the neck fanny pack. I can hod my walet, cell phoe etc. The job was priced at $15. Not bad. After that to Dollarrama, as I couldn't find anything I needed. Then Shoppers (ear plugs) as it's seniors day. Then over to the food court for a tke out. Mexi fries supreme. Then Over to Rogers to see how I can add my new replacement Visa to their auto pay. Then the bus home, and Game 1 of the Habs/Canes game.

After the hockey game my Amazon order arrived: My Nintendo Switch 1 charging adapter. If your reading this Mary, I've had the Nintendo Switch since 2019. Remember the good times when we were both single adult's as neigbors on the same floor, you'd pay me visits and after that, we'd play video games? Good times. Don't tell Don what we did though before that🤫

At first I couldn't get the adaptor to charge the console. After dinner I realized I had it in the wrong slot. Yeesh. Anyway, that's all for now.

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 took our walker out and

waited for the #501 Capilano Moll bus. The bus was late but I had no difficulty getting around. I got my replacement Visa card, no problem. The walker was holding out good. I could have had the bank activate the card there, but I wasn't in a hurry. I caught my bus to my destination: a block North of the Bonny Doon Mall Value Village. I was home in ten minutes.  

In the main they were playing horse racing. It's a boad game of some sort. About 8 players. I met one of our neigbors across the hall, Irene, who casually knew Anne. She mentioned that they play rummy (card game) in the main floor 3 days/week. While I've never played, something to do during the day. 

Anne went and retrieved this 3 foot bag of lights cables etc from the closet. We needed a kitchen stepper to access it. My Switch items were not thhere. I needed the AC charging cable and the joy icons holder. Hours later I had to order the charging cable for the Switch 1 from Amazon. I don't have Switch 2. The joy con holder was in another box. The charging adapter will be here by Sunday. I managed to activate my Visa, do we're all good in that deparment. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Anne ususally makes

us baby back ribs sliced "foiled potatoes," about 4 times a year. These are packaged under name brand, like Earl's Kelsy's. These ones had bits of fat i n the meat and the potatos were not cooked that well. Anne made better.

On May 18, 1980, the Mount St. Helens volcano in Washington state exploded in a cataclysm that sent ash 12 miles into the air, and left 57 people dead. 

I remember this quite well. I was living with Charles/Bev in Calgary early 1981. I was working with Army & Navy department stores, and then moved back up to Edmonton with Richard Lord in the General apartments. This was even before the OTO.

I watched Monday night Raw and followed the Habs/Sabres game. Raw ended as the hockey game was just entering OT tied at 2. Habs scored in OT winning their first game 7 on the road ever. Other then the dinner, it was a good day. Anyway, that's all for now. 

This morning

 I'll be tuning into BabaLo's Fb chat this morning. At 5:30pm, I'll watching a bit of the Canadians/Buffalo game 7. Lets Go Habs. I'll be following the game whilte watching Wrestling. 

Not off to a good start this week for my steps. Best I could get is 2,590. I ususally try and get 3,100 steps minimum 

and or at least 2-3k per day on average. I'm at 660 so far. I like to be at 1,500 before bed. Last week it felt good out with the old walker. We need a new one.

Anne gave me half sammy before bed. Her bronchial condition is slowly improving. I hope she has a decent night's sleep. I hate having her in this condition. Anyway, that's all for now.
