Not much going on these days

just relaxing and taking it easy, watching hockey. Speaking of which, Oilers are leading the Vegas series 3-1 and could go on to round 3, if Vegas loses tomorrow. I said Oilers in 6. We'll see what happens.

Tomorrow, Anne and I are going out to a trendy Grerman restaurant. That should be good. Why they close at 2pm I have no idea. They are mostly known for breakfast, then anything else. 

Yesterday was the 45th anniversary of my journal. Unfortunetly it wasn't able to survive 2 moves since 2021. I did manage to save 1 of my journals from September 1980. At least I have that. Anyway, that's all for now.

Last nights Oilers

Vegas game was a real barn burner. Oilers came back from behind to win 4-2. They even broke a record for the most consecutive combacks at 5. What's more is they regained home ice advantage. Game 2 will be nothing like last night. I'm thinking Vegas will win by 1. 

Other then getting up early I had a decent day. Still find it hard to believe the fire at Wyndham building B. 36 meter's away and building A could have been affected. The fire in building B began in the 2nd floor. The wind was a huge factor in causeign most of the damage.

After today my next early morning won't be until Saturday. BoB or Lodge. I'm not sure yet. Lodge is 9am, BoB is 8am. I won't need cab money to get to lodge. I've been wanting to go to lodge anyway. That's all for now.

Comming up

May 12th is the 45th aniversary of my daily journal. It began Monday May 12th 1980. Richard suggested I start what he called a "magical diary." It was supposed to be about my occult experiences and experiments. I interpeted it as a daily diary about everday life. This was when commercial computers were just hitting the market. I could have started this diary on my Atari 130xe. A word processsor was only ~ C $60. Imagine my diaries all on disk from november 1987? Wow.

I woke up this morning ~ 8:30 feeling ok. Anne shortly after when crews began testing the alarms. We're getting ~ 2 burssts of 4 beeps per suite. We get that for every suite in the buildng All 350 units, uggh. It's scaring our cats. I have my head phones and shades. The alarm device sends out a strobe light each time it flashes.. The good news is they will be done by 4pm

The Edmonton Oilers are in Vegas tonight for game 1. Its a beautiful day. Oilers will lose tonight but will find a way to make it work before game #4 and hopefully Oilers in 6. I'll be able to watch the full game. I have chips; pop, a place we can afford. Life is good.

I was hoping to work

the week but in an email, I got the word that our sample size, was too low for that. We might have another project coming up but I have my doubts. I don't mind the time off. I'll be able to watch Oilers playoff hockey.

With the time off, I'm also considering heading out to "Ye old craft" Saturday. Alter between lodge and BoB. Especially now that I have time off. Sounds like a good idea.

The other reason why I want to do the Lodge thing is to get my measel shot since I'm type 1 debetic, I qualify to get that shot. In my case it's a good idea to ge the shot. Anyway, that's all for  now.

May the 4th be with

you. Yes it's Star Wars day. The origional Star Wars day began in 2011. Star Wars day is an informal celebration of all things Star Wars. You can read all about it here.

I had a decent day on the job yesterday but by the start of the 5th hour, I was played out. Three pm, couldn't end fast enough. I don't mind Saturdays if I've had enough sleep. Fortunatly I did yesterday. 5.5 hours of sleep. This morning I'm taking a melatonin pill.

Lately the buz here in Alberta is about Alberta separation. I could get behind it if this was a combined effort between BC/Alberta/ Saskatchewa/Manatoba. All four Western Provinces. That would be cool. However there needs to be a referendum in order for that to happen. Anyway, that's all for now.

I think this

project will be concluded by the end of next week. I'll do one more if one's availible. We'll see how it goes. I'm on at 10 am for my shift up @ 8am.

Now that the Oilers have cleared round one over LA Kings it's onto Vegas. Just waiting for the Ave's/Dallas series tied at 6. 

I'm about to pull the trigger on Scaler 3 after shift. It's an awesome song writing too/ That and Output Arcade.

We're having another inspectiion coming in on Tuesday. Ugg.

Out to lodge

late this afternoon. I have my music all cued up. It's a beautifull day for May 1st.

I began this blog as a bit of an extention to my journal. The journal goes back to May 12th 1980 when I was writing it by hand and then on the computer 2005. A lost a lot of my journal stuff on various systems over the years due to one computer or another. I still have my 2005 diaries on my old Windows Xp computer. I want to get (from Amazon) a hard drive clone kit. I have a spare SSD on my daily computer that I can clone the Xp OS onto the drive (after I erase and set it up. Then load the contents of the clone onto the OS as a new drive. Should be ok and easy enough to do. 

I have work tomorrow and hopefully I'll get a schedual for next week. If the project has enough legs as it were. Anyway, that's all for now.
