Back to Monday

as it looks like a week where all I need to focus on is the job. I have a few side things I want to do, like dl some music off a website for Chapter on the 25th. I have a part of about 25 lines I'm memorizing. I have it down running smooth to about 90%. Still a little rough around the edges but I'm getting by. 

I also want to get a track up and running for the weekend. I want to use DM10. I have a few side rojects as well. That being said, it's a work week. I hope I get a schedule Thursday for after the upcoming weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

My shift began

fine enough. Because there is an issue with Teams and I'm using Teams in browser format. I had a few hicups but I managed to get into flow rate for my 3 hour shift.

The "Hands off" Trump movement is gathering momentum. Will he get the message and do something positive with it?

Unless things change, I have a full schedule this week but it looks like BoB will be a Saturday wash out. Anway, that's all for now.

I had some work laptop

maintenance done this morning before work resumes Tuesday. That was round one of laptop maintenance. The one Tuesday is round 2. Two different things. 

Scaler music released Scaler 3 recently. I downloaded it to my Windows desktop. Scaler is it's own Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) now. Scaler 3 scans VST's and plugins in ones inventory. Cool. 

March has been a busy month. I'm glad it's all but over. Anyway, that's all for now.

I enjoyed Chapter

last night but there was some disconnect with the music. I had it but apparently the DOC said what I had didn't line up with what he remembered. I should have just played it through the Grand Chapter website. 

We've been getting steady snow for almost 36 hours now.

If all works out ok

when I go back to work next week, there will be no obsticals with my internet connection. That's my main concern at this point. 

Earlier I made an order renewal for my meds. Including insulin. That's $100 every 3 months. I'm looking at picking them up Saturday morning across the street from the old place before my Amazon order arrives. 

Tomorrow night I'm out at Chapter. That should be interesting as I'm in a different environment. Same suroundings. 

Dallas/Oilers game at 8pm tonight. Should be a good one. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday I received

some distressing news: An old lodge brother of mine passed away. Neil Lonsbury. I think Neil was in his early 80s when he passed at his home in Saint Albert Alberta. Neil was the one who sponsored me into Freemasonry in 2002 in my lodge. He was our organist, a chair that I'm sitting in now as musical director. I was at Neil's 50th observance (50 years in the craft) at the Shrine centre here in Edmonton a few years ago. Neil was well liked across both branches of Freemasonry. He almost had a joke to tell at festive board, and that humor carried over into lodge. He will be missed.

Ijaz managed to do our taxes and sent in our T183 forms to be signed. At least I hope he did. I sent them back to be filed with CRA.

Not much going on today. I'm trying to get one more piece of music at the Grand Chapter website for an upcoming degree. I hope to be in Leela's stream this afternoon and I want to prep another video for later. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Our first full week here

in the new place. We decided to wait until we're settled in before we participate in any of the programs here for seniors. 

I spent just over $4,200 between down payments and moving. Good thing I'm about to get work next week so I can begin to pay for this.

Right now the most important item on my agenda is getting our taxes done. Our tax person isn't being very helpfull at the moment because he is sick. I have no details. I have an alternative if we can't get any activity this week.
