That was quite the game last

night. Elks scored 2 majors in the 1st Quarter. There were 2 kick returns to score. At the half it was 17 Ottawa, 22 Elks. There were 2 turnovers, one per each team. Finale was 33 Visitors 39 Elks Next Sunday week 6 BC lions, Elks. BC won the other night in Montreal. Lets hope we can make it 2 in a row.

I hope to finish this book by the end of the week and move onto something else:

Not saying I'm not enjoying the series, I am but I have other books I want to get into.

Tonight I'm watching Monday night Raw, and doing my steps. I did 3.12k's worth yesterday. Last week i ended up with 20.64k or an average of 2.94k/day. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Yesterday i woke up about

11:30am. I did bassicaly nothing all day, except watching You Tube video, Facebook & reading.

Yesterday July 5 boasts a somewhat dubious birthday: Spam. On this date in 1937, Hormel Foods introduced the unique meat product to the world. The curious food with the strange name went on to acquire cult status, inspiring a Monty Python sketch and musical, Spamalot, a book of haikus about Spam, and not one, but two festivals devoted to celebrating the product.

My highlight of today will be watching the Elks host Ottawa Red Blacks @ Commonwealth & doing my steps, you tube. I love summer. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going

in the next 24 hours. The highlight of my day yesterday was watching Smackdown and getting my mail. Exciting huh? 

Even though the Amazon compression stockings I've been wearing recently have been holding up ok, no way are they 30-40 compresion ratio. The pair before these were patched at the heals because in my use case, that's usually where the material becomes worn down to expose skin. So we're back to the patched ones. I could buy a new pair but at $100/pair I'd also need a Doctors script. My next AADL authorization is 5 months away. 

At this moment with a 0-3 can the Elks get their first win on Sunday? So far we're 0-3. The only team in the CFL that hasn't won yet. While the league has not officially discussed closing a team, financial instability and declining interest could create a situation where a team can no longer sustain operations. Only 2 teams so far have turned a profit. No need to panic just yet. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday Anne went to the office to

show what she wanted done with the AC. They said based on what she showed them, they could set it up for us including plexiglass. The window screen is on the inside of the frame. I had to co sign a work order but because it's a Friday today they won't be able to do this until early to mid next week. We're getting a heat wave for Tuesday/Wednesday. Hopefully they will get here Monday.

With the exact information I was able to get an online Astrology chart. I don't want to use this for any divination or anything like that.

The Elks are hosting Ottawa FC Sunday It's a 5pm game. Speaking of football. Keeping with the football theme, Edmonton's own Arctic Pride womens football was in the news today. The Western Womens CFL Arctic Pride Are getting some traction. I hopeit's a success. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Our local weather is mor comfortable @

+17°. What with the heat on hereand the central AC going, why the AC hasn't been shut down for the Summer? IDK.

I'll be having last nights Royal Pizza for "lunch" ~ 5pm ish for us. 

These are early days but I'm trying to get myself an astrology chart, while I have this time off. I'm sure there are services to accomplish this online. I've been wanting to do this years ago but the only thing holding me back was getting my time of birth and now that I have time off, this is could be an interesting side project. Back in 2023 I ordered my birth records from the department of vital stats. I had the sense to write down the time of my birth in my calendar: 11:08am. I was mom's first child. I'll be playing with this tonight, and bouncing around email, you tube, reading my book, steps etc. Anyway, that's all for now.

It's 7:45pm

and we seldom get +30°C this time of night even during summer. Even the day after Canada Day.

Including the humidex it was more like +32°C. Anne and I went to the observation lounge on the 8th floor and it was a bit more comfortable. We're suposed to get some lightning activity and light rain latter. I swaer to god, we got about 4 fans running here.😀

Today Alberta created it's own Police force called Alberta Sheriffs Police Service. Headquarters in Calgary. This is not meant to replace the RCMP🤔but to provide police services service to rural Alberta where the RCMP is lacking presence. On the surface this is a good idea. Most likely IMO this is a move to appeal to the Alberta separatists fringe group.

We've had our floor AC sitting idle since we moved in. With the building AC making it so hot in here and this current heat wave provided Anne inspiration to have our AC installed. We just need to see if it's compatible with the building's electrical system. Once that's done, Anne's going to get some plexiglass from Home depot or something, take out the screen mounted on the inside and install and maybe taped. Anyway, that's all for now. 

This evening

about 10:30 we're going to the observation lounge to watch the Canada day fireworks.

Not much going on this week. Actually I'm taking July off from (unless something comes up) health related excursions and Lodge related activities. No outings. Nothing. I want to enjoy summer, without running around. I just want to stick close to home; read, you tube etc, CFL football, eat cheese doodles, get my steps in.

I think AADL might want to hall me in to do some testing on my leg circulation. When I last spoke with anyone they said 4-6 months. That won't be until around September or November. Happy Canada day everyone. That's all for now.
