Unless I'm tripping

WWE's Clash in Italy live event starts at 2:00 PM Edmonton time, which works out perfectly for me.

Right now, we are enjoying a nice, rainy Sundae afternoon. I am thinking about heading over to the Mill Woods McDonald's for a strawberry sunday.

Ice cream machines at some McDonald's locations can be hit-or-miss, but if the Mill Woods machine is broken, Dairy Queen is conveniently right across the street. I can always watch the WWE event later.

Flash fiction has become a compelling interest of mine. Yesterday, I came across an interesting outline concept for writing in this genre, specifically for the 500-word category. For my purposes, that length translates into a long blog post 🤣Everything I have written up to this point is about 100 words. I have been reading quite a bit of flash fiction lately, and I find it to be a truly fascinating format. More on that later. Anyway, that's all for now.

Last night's

degree was really good. The music I had ready went as good as practice. I have another practice Sunday, so I hope that mirrors, last nights efforts. 

Last year I watched some of the Elks games on CFL+ for free but seems that was removed. I was hoping I could pick up tonight's Elks/Stamps game in progress. Oh well.

At least I can watch Clash in Italy on Netflix Subday @ noon, get some brunch and see about getting a ride to Lodge. Then I just have Lodge and AASR next Friday, and that's a wrap until Summer.

Perry is picking me up

at about 6-6:15 tonight for Chapter. Hopefully I will have no snags with my iPad and BT speaker, and everything will run as smooth as Sunday.

The 'laziest man in history,' a wealthy English heir named Jeremiah Carlton, went to bed and stayed there for 70 years. He died on today's date in 1790 at age 89. On May 27, 1994, the highest temperature created by humans, a balmy 920,000,000 F degrees (30 times hotter than the center of the sun) was produced at the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory.

I had fargoten about the R4 Nintendo ds cartriges. I might pick one up from Amazon. It's in my Amazon wish list. Lots of these cards have what's called "Time bombs" that have the games expired so the owner will have to buy another card. The decent R4 cards label "No Time Bomb. Add the Azahar pc emulator and, wow! Anyway, that's all for now.

I've been having

mild toothache pain over the last several days. After we do the Master Mason degree I'll be calling the detal office to set up a consultation. I'll bring the upper denture I was given back in 2021. It wasn't very successful for me and sat in a sollution reffill over the years. I think my mouth shrank as the last time I tried inserting the denture, it was a tough fit getting it into my mouth. I might need a new upper. If it makese sense and there's enough insurance money for one, I'd like to get an arcylic hard reline for both upper and lower denture. If I need to shell out of pocket, I can do that but the Alberta seniors benifit program which I'm on might cover it. There are others. But I hope to be setting up a consultation with them asap once all of my Masonic stuff is taken care of.

After our late dinner, Anne took me down to the work out room. They have treadmill and 2 stationary bikes. 

I like the bike better. I did one k in disatance and that took me 6 minutes. Not to bad. Aparently, the bike helps fight off RLS.🤔

Last night I enjoyed the Ave's/Vegas game. Vegas scored first and then later late in the 3rd. It was 2-0 and then Denver scored but that was all they could do. Vegas defeated first place in the West Avalanch, and then swept them 4-0. Talk about embarrasing. Tonight it's game 4 Hurricanes/Montreal. Hopefully the Habs can tie the series. Anyway, that's all for now. 

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.
