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.

Anne & I are going on another outing

today, because it's her birthday today. I'll disclose where we went in tomorrow's blog post.

I bought this USB multi port hub 2 years ago, but haven't found a use to use it until now

I've had the Elgato green screen availible, but I haven't had time to set it up. That's going to be my project this week. What's cool about this hub is it has 5 USB 3 ports. I'm using 1 of them now. My green screen lights (Ulanzi) need to be powered by USB. My Sodtware is OBS. It's a pretty straight forward process. I just need to make sure I have enough power in the lights.. 

This week it's out with Anne today, and Wrestling, tomorrow night Oilers hockey on TV, Wednesday night open, Thursday Oilers hockey, Friday Smackdown, Saturday after breakfast if all goes well, I'll be seeing a certain blonde, if the cover story holds water. It's been 8 years. Wow. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday many of my brother went

to attend Route 99 Diner in Mill creek not far away from us. Anne and I are going to go Monday. Also Warp 1 is on our way, as I'd like to pop in and take a look around. I haven;t seen the Fantastic four movie. Warp 1 has a nice collection of T-shirts. Maybe they have one from the movie.

On this date in 1950, (yesterday) the FBI unveiled the first installment of the '10 Most Wanted' list. Aimed at raising awareness of the bureau's most challenging cases, several fugitives have appeared on the list over the last 70+ years. Serial killers Andrew Cunanan and Ted Bundy as well as James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr. are some of the more notable names that appeared on the list over the years.

Still nursing my cold. Gone are the waterey eyes, coughing but I still have the congestion. Anyway, that's all for now.

Sadly I never made

it to Strathcona 77 because of the cold. I hope there was a good contingent of us from #167. I didn't feel comfortable, going due to the cold I have and exposing that to everyone else. I stayed home and watch Smackdown and followed the Oilers/Saint Louis game.

This was on the Coast 2 Coast channel back in 1997, when I first began to listen to Coast to Coast. I rememer the program. It was on the night of March 13, 1997 that the 'Phoenix Lights' were seen in the night skies over Phoenix and beyond. This huge triangular formation of lights was reported by countless witnesses, some who called in to Art Bell that night. Gov. Fife Symington, who initially made fun of the incident, belatedly publicly admitted he, too, saw the lights. Hard ro believe it was almost 30 years ago. I was in my early 40's. wow.

For the first 2 periods there was no scoring. Looked like I wasn't going to miss much. I was enjoying Smackdown so much when I checked again it was 2-0 Oilers. Then tied at 2. In OT Saint Louis won in OT. The ending of Smackdown was jaw dropping. Pretty amazing. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday was our

1st year anniversary living here. Our weather was a lot better but not by much. I wish we had better internet, but otherwize everything else is good

On March 12, 1894, the first bottles of Coca-Cola were sold. 

             

Invented by an Atlanta pharmacist, the originalformula included lime, cinnamon, and coca leaves.

This cold is taking it's tole in me. So far it's bark is worse the it's bite Anyway, that's all for now.
