I was watching

WWE Summerslam Saturday and following the Riders/Elks game, at Commonwealth. There was a delay of game due to rain. That worked out good because Summerslam Saturday was over as the 2nd half returned. We lost the rubber match 28-26. Riders were determined to at least tie the series. Riders are back here October 24th. I think. Then there is Summerslam Sunday. Looking forward to this. 

Edmonton Fringe Festival - from August 13 to
August 23 throughout Old Strathcona experience
music, comedy, and more! There are free shuttle
services and free outdoor events. Indoor events
typically have an admission price (tickets are often less than $20). I remember the first fringe festival, I think it was 1981. 
And finally from me, I got no place to go this week. However I'm considering a trip to Long & McQuade to get a USB microphone. I've been using the AT&T mic for years until I think it got lost in the move. AT&T makes good microphones. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its a new month. My birthday month.

August 21st to be exact, lol 

I got Summerslam Saturday on at 4pm, and the CFL RIders are @ Commonwealth today at 5pm. I'll be following the Elks game and watching Summerslam, yeesh. Then there is Summerslam Sunday as well. Good times.

Edmonton Heritage Festival - coined the “world's

largest three-day multicultural celebration” enjoy
cultural dances and folk music. There are no
admission fees and the festival is happening
August 1 to 3 at the recently rehabilitated Hawrelak Park. Organizers are hoping for no rain, as the festival isn't set up for that.

I think I have a yeast infection going on. At some point I need to book an appointment with my Pharamacist and see what's going on in my specific use case. Anyway, that's all for now.

I pray, yes I do.

A lot. In my mind, God is the Great archetect of the Universe. In Qabalistic terms, God is the great singularity of creation. God is not the God of the Christian Bible. The great singularity of all. God is a Supreame being. God hears my voice. I talk with God every day through my diary. God is pure conciousness. AGLA.

Wow, a day without rain😲.I might soil my diaper, I'm so surprised. The sad part about all of this 500+ rain for July, is the mosquito's are going to hang around longer. 

Today sometime between 1 & 4pm, we're having the inspectors pay us a visit. They do every other month. It's rough on because she works today. That and its the last day of July. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was about ready to

settle in for a nice relaxing day, when suddenly Anne says, "We're going to try out Stacked! Mainstreet Millwoods." This was about 1:40pm. I didn't think there would be enough time. It was just one lrt ride away. We got there about 2:15pm. It was nice. I didn't like how they served my diet cola in a can and I had to ask for a glass. that was the only


drawback. We'll go back again. Denny's is better.

Looks like our massive July rain extravaganza has tappered off. I decided to go out for a bit of air, because I wasn't bothered by the mosquito's earlier. As soon as I got outside, I got swarmed like Ukranian drones hitting a Wildberries wearhouse. Anyway, that's all for now.

This has been the most wetest

summer we have ever had here in Edmonton since 1914. A typical summer here in Edmonton brings about 213–214 mm of rain across June, July, and August combined. This year, the city has already received more than a normal year's worth of total precipitation since June. In July almost 500mm of rain. In al my nearly 50 years here, I've never seen so much rain. It almost reminds me of being back home in Vancouver



One of these days Anne wants to try Stacked. It's a breakfast alternative to Denny's. Not that Denny's is bad. Stacked is right across the street from the Mill Woods LRT. So is Tim Horton's.😀 

Yesterday I thought I'd sign up to Substack but after checking it out its just a hosting site for people to get you to subscribe to their content. no thinks. Anyway, that's all for now.

Depending on how much sleep

I get, I hope to head out to get my compression stockings. Since the weather promises to be kinder on the body. 

On this date in 1965, a seminal event in rock and roll history took place when Bob Dylan "went electric" during his infamous performance at the Newport Folk Festival. 


A hero to the folk music community, Dylan's switch to electric guitar was seen as the ultimate act of betrayal by many in the audience, who booed the performance. Urban legend has it that event organizer Pete Seeger was so upset by the act  that he threatened to cut the wires to the stage with an axe

Tonight, it's Monday night Raw, and tring to sort out my Fender account woes. Setting up an account for Fender Studio Pro, is simmilar to Microsoft.  Such a headhache. But for Cad $20/month is a good deal. Anway, that's all for now.

I don't mind Fl. Studio

but I want to try something different. I've been hearing a lot about Personus. Now Fender Studio Pro 8.  This thing is a beast. It has Tonality stem separation, its got a cleaner work flow. I even like the Impact One Drum machine.  For $289, it's a pretty good idea. I might pick it up this week put it on my account at Long & McQuade. We'll see, As far as I know its just a licnese and a USB stick. 


This week, the plan is too pick up the software then go get my compression stockings. And if there is time visit with that Doctor. I have Monday night Raw, tomorrow night, Elks Thursday and Smackdown Friday. Looks like a good week.

We had an intense thunder lightning storm last night. Lots of rain. I think this is the most rain we've had in July for a long time. Also, our local weather looks like its going back to the mid 20's. Anyway, that's all for now.
