The dog days of

summer. Translation: Not much going on. Sunday is lodge practice. Thursday is Lodge. 

Yesterday morning I woke up about 11am with a Melatonin pill in my system. Then back to bed about 2pm for an hour and a half. No game play nothing. I hope to get more into the Pokemon game today.

I've been thinking about Band in a Box. Apparently Long & McQuade has it or a license to provide a digital license for it. Might be interesting. Anyway, that's all for now. 

It took me awhile

but I finally found the Retrobat instalation folder on my computer. I can finally install softwear versions of games on the coputer.

Not much going on around here lately. Or for this week. Next Sunday is our last Lodge EA° practice run and I want to get ready for that, then it really gets heated up. Practice Sunday, Lodge Thursday, Scottish Rite Friday. 

This week I've been wanting to check out that Doctor nearby because I have a yeast infection and my psoriasis is acting up on me. Plus I need an OTC script for a mussel relaxant for my restless leg syndrome. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was already to go to the

board of general purposes meeting Saturday afternoon. I felt I had enough sleep; I shaved, filled up my bottle of diet cola. Then I read on the TC chat there were something like 14 steps in the building where the meeting was being held. Similar to Banister. I replied that I don't think I could make it because of the long flight of stairs. Then I realized, wait: I'm not bringing my backpack with my iPad etc.  I sent a note in chat that with my apologies. I had a blond moment.

I remember the first couple of years of our marriage when Anne had the car while we were at Capital place. About every other weekend we'd go the Eastglen leisure centre for their Saturday evening adult swim. I got to thinking about something like that again maybe around here.  There is the Bonnie Doon Leisure centre just down the road and they have a Friday late night swim to midnight. That's something similar. I should check into that for us. Cost is $8.50 Seniors. We don't have the car anymore but when we get on the Drive happyness program, it's something to think about. 

No diary entry today. I'd like to cut down on that as well. Get more into my gaming and music even though I cut Sonic pass. it was just costing way too much. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Well that was nother

birthday come and gone. I got a lot of birthday well wishes from family and lodge brothers. They don't have that in Chapter. Anne's back to being her old rude and obnoxious self. 

I had a good time watching wrestling and then the Winnipeg/Elks game. for the first half it was all Winnipeg, 16-6. I went to watch the rest of wrestling and resumed the game in the 2nd half when wrestling was over. In the 2nd half Elks tied the game and both

teams exchanged field goals 19-19. In the last minute of the game it was ELks football, and we drove the ball to the Winnipeg 40 yard line, where our kicker Blanchard made the 3 point field goal, with 3 seconds left in the game making it 19-22 Elks.What a win. That puts Elks at 8 Wins 3 loses.

I'm out of here at ~ 2:45pm to get to Davis LRT Station where our lodge secretary said. He would pick me up. We're having Board of General purpose meeting with me and a bunch of the brethren at an undisclosed location. It's a 2 hour or so meeting. Gets me u tof the house. Anyway, that's all for now.   

Most of my Sunday afternoon

was spend sleeping. I had got about 3 hours from 5:30am-9:00am. RLS took up most of that time. I usually take a Melatonin pill, twice a week. These are half strength pills. Quite often, they fail too work. When they do, they do the trick. 

My next Amazon purchase is a pair of micro SD cards. Specifically the 128Gb San disc. My Anbernic RG35XXPlus has 2 micro sd card slots A twin pack is $91. Not to bad. Add $16 for Trumps fee.

Next Sunday we're holding an EA° practice at an undisclosed location. As musical director, I don't think the organist (Musical director) is doing anything in this degree. We're holding another practice the week of at the same undisclosed location. I'll hit John Slade up for suggestions later today. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on today

I hope to be in bed by 5am, up by 9-10am. Normally RLS hijack's my efforts to sleep and it can take 30 minutes to an hour to get to sleep for 3 hours, up for about 2 and back to bed for a few more hours. It takes me 2 sessions but I can get ~ 5 hours of sleep. I have all 4.

Yesterday's Argo's at Elks was slow. Things  exploded in the 2nd half. Argos turned the ball over about 4 times and Elks got a pick 6 for 7 points. 27 points on Argo turnovers. Elks are now 7-3 in the West. Game finale was Argos 12 Elks 48. Makes up for that loss last weekend against the Al's. Next game is August 21st, my birthday as Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in town. Can't wait.

Yes, I'll be 74 years old Friday. You can always send me birthday greetings via messenger. Cash donations are always accepted, lol. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had a decent sleep

over night by 3 & a half hours and an afternoon nap for another 2 hours. I get the minimum 5 hours sleep but that sleep is spread over 2 sessions. 

I've had my cell phone for over a year now, and its been really handy. I took a video and a photo while I was outside about 6pm and posted each to my Facebook page. 

I'm 73 years old here and will be 74 next week on the 21st of this month. Anne wants to take me out for dinner at a place of my own choosing, near or on the date. I'm thinking iHop Southpark. We like that location. At the moment, I'm in good spirits.

One thing I like when Anne goes out on her 5 hour shopping excursions, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday (assuming she does) is I get some time to myself. A lot  of this time lately, I'm just on You Tube, my diary, that sort of thing. Anyway, that's all for now.
