We received some snow in the city

 yesterday. Not sure how much but the event lasted unto 3pm. There were no horor stories in reguards to the afternoon commute. 

On this date in 1655, Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens discovere Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. In recent years, the orange moon, which is bigger than the planet Mercury, has been found to have lakes of hydrocarbons. Nasa is still going with the April first Artimis 2 launch. Sounds like an April fools joke to me.

Unless things change, I'm out of here at 5pm for Chapter. Should be a good night. Anne sugested I wear my boots but I don't need my cleats. I'm a little aprehencive, due to Sunday's practice mishap. Anyway, that's all for now.

As a back up for tomorrow night

in Chapter, I'm going to have Grand Chapter website where I have Chapter music open, incase something happens. 

I know someone that got in the way of an old friendship, years ago. Him and his wife (my friend) were riding his high end disability train. He blocked me on Facebook.

So now Don is on old age pension and they are hurting. The above meme came to mind and if they ever needed my help that didn't have to do with financial reasons I'd help them. Even though they betrayed me and they deserve the meme above. Both of them are scumbags.

I'm relaxing today, with nothing to do. I'm busy tomorrow night, for obvious reasons. Anyway, that's all for now.

That's tax time set up and done

for another year. Our tax person even got our NOA. previously, we'd have to wait for it to come in by mail, which would take until ~ mid April

Other then Chapter Thursday night, not a lot is going on this week.


Next week Al Shamal for 2 nights. AASR on the 10th. No other outings this month other then Thursday. Thank God I'm not working.

Looks like we're in for another snow event this week. I need to make sure my BT speaker is  pwered on as it cut out on me during Sundays practice. Anyway, that's all for now.

At first I thoughtI' be steering my own

ship to Highlands Hall this morning for our practice, but this morning Perry said he'd pick me up. He got his wires crossed. He's about the same age as me, so it's not unusual that this sort of us can happen. Good thing I keep a calendar 😀I should be done the above by 2:30pm, home by about 3pm-ish.

Yesterday and this morning we signed our T185 forms, our tax fellow hopefully recieved and got everything. And the right forms. If I followed the right instructions. Knowing me, following instruction incidents have been known to go South on me before. This might be the last big return I'll be able to get because of threshold entrance mechanics moving in here. 

Since I'm not in a rush this morning, I can slowly pack my iPad etc, and gradually make my way out the door for my noon pick up. Anyway, that's all for today.

That wasn't a cold

we believe it was "food poisoning" from Route 99 Diner. I had stomach cramps, bloatness, uggh. Sufice to say, we won't be going back. It's a greasy spoon to say the least. Fast forward I feel a lot better. 

One good thing out of that experience was as Anne wewnt on her way to Stratcona No Frills etc. I went to have a look around at Warp 1 Comics and games. I had a chat with the owner manning the till, talking shop dropping names that sort of thing. I was ovewhelmed by all the stuff they have there.

They had a few gaming tables going. Magic The Gathering and a few guys playing D&D I met a few of the players during a breka in the game. They meet usually every Monday. I could see myself sitting in on a few games. I mentioned "Chivalry & Sourcery" The Game master knew of the game. I might check in when the weather improves. 

Scaler 3 is now out for i0s? About time.  I have Scaler 1 but version 3 from PC/Mac adds a lot more capability to software. The Soundtest room has a video on the topic. I'll check that out later today. Anyway, that's all for now.

We got our

T4's prepared. I'm just waiting or our tax guy to confirm. It's an unusual process for us. Anne had to go to Staples to have our forms scanned and sent. I'm just waiting conformation he received them to complete the process. The office needs our NOA line 1500 to determin our rent for the year. 


Woman Captures World Record by Counting to 1,070,000 Over 70 Days: A determined Nigerian woman captured a Guinness World Record by counting to 1,070,000 over the course of a staggering 70 days. Citing an "internal desire to break limits and achieve something extraordinary," Favour Ogechi Ani reportedly claimed the odd title for "highest number counted out loud" this past autumn. Sticking to a rather rigorous process, the new record holder woke up every morning and, after eating breakfast and praying, counted for seven hours before having lunch and then resuming her pursuit of the record for another seven hours before going to sleep and starting the cycle all over again the following day.

This week I got nothing to do. I bought a few apps that I want to explore first Poly Pipe by 4 Pockets:

Saturday I have a breakfast meeting, Sunday a Royal Arch practice. Anyway, that's all for now.

With a name like Shannon

the origination is as synonymous with ireland as you can get. I can track my full name kin to New York in the 1800s. Three generations before me of James Shannon. My name(not me) is about as Irish as it gets. 🤣



Anne & I went out to try Route 99 Diner. Getting there took us 3 buses. We were not impressed. The hash browns tasted like they were 3 days old. The toast wasn't sliced. The eggs were luke warm. The sausages were not good. On a scale from 1/5. I'd give Route 99 Diner a 1. We won't be back.

Anne needed to get to No Frills in old Strathcona and I went to Warp 1 for my first visit. What a store. Has everything a geek could want I saw a D&D game in process. They said they play regular there. I might make Wednesday my game night. Anyway, that's all for now.
