I had a bit of a wait

for my ride but it was a nice day out there. I should ask him if he could lower the front seat so I could slide in. The instalation is nothing new, same as in a craaft Lodge. My ride said that he might not be able to pick me up Thursday, but he will drop me off. I dont have any duty for Thursday. Just to show up and being installed as "Musical coordinater." 

For the next several days I've got wrestling tonight, Oilers hocket Tuesday, Chapter Thursday. 

Next week we we're holding our Past Masters association dinner. And that should be all for the month of January. All in all, it was a good day today. Anyway, that's all for now.

If this is Sciatica

pain, I went through this around 1998 and it lasted a week.  I was doing security guard work as well at the time. 

Last nights Oilers/Canucks game began lame. I thought (at the end of the 1st period) not another 0-0 game. I was going to give up on the game but after intermission decided against it. 6 goals later in the 2nd period.😲 Talks about a one off. Sure enough no goals were scored after that. The game ended Oilers 6 Canucks 0. Vancouver is in rebuild mode anyway. Pardon the spellos.

My lower back is very soar. I went down to the vending machine for a can of diet cola, and I was in a lot of disscomfort heading up the elevator back into our suite. Perry is picking me up for Chapter proactice at noon today. I'm anticipating a bit of an ordeal just to get up the stairs to the outside of he building Anyway, that's all for now, 

I was all set and ready to go

for my breakfast gig this morning but when Anne (after her shift) returned from her errand to get some dipping sauce over there by Bonny Doon Mall, she gave me a progress report saying that it's pretty slippery out there at the corner where I need to cross the street to get my 6:30 bus. Still not recovered from my fall Wednesday, I decided not to show up. I'll resume in March. Weather conditions could be a lot better at that time

However (if it's still a go) I still plan on going to Chapter practice Sunday. I'm not sure if there is any music at the instalation, since I have yet to attend a Royal Arch instalation. Perry  is picking me up at noon tomorrow. Anyway, that's all for now. ANyway, that's all for now. 

I have a "day off" today

but Saturday I'm attending an early morning mens spiritual breakfast gathering. It's at an undissclosed location. It's a personal thing, North East Edmonton. It's close to Shoppers drug mart where I got my 2/4 shots. I'll be getting those after my meeting. After that, on my way home, I want to go to Bonny Doon Mall get myself a haircut, and maybe some lunch. This way saves Anne from cooking before her Saturday shift.

Today in the US its National Fig Newton Day on January 16th recognizes a tasty pastry enjoyed across the country. Whether you enjoy figs newtons or would prefer a different pastry dessert, stick around and learn a few things about National Fig Newton Day!

Sunday, at noon my Royal Arch Chapter is holding it's practice for our instalation. I missed my first one last year because that cab driver got instructions messed up. This year I get a ride. That takes me up to Thursday, where Chapter has it's instalation and I get to be appointed a Chapter officer. I think. Anyway, that's all for now.      

Yesterday, Anne and I headed out

for our outing. We caught the Bonny Doon Mall bus. There was some confusion on Anne's part because she could see the bus about to cross Conners road.  It was the #524, as it had to head north on Connors road to 95th Ave. then turn right on 95th ave beside our building and to the bus stop (behind CAVA Art galery) just to get to Strathean LRT stop. 

We had a wait looking at the construction just East of where we were waiting 95th Ave. The construction was about 20 feet from us. Crews were pounding post holes into the pit. There were large pilons laying in the pit near the post hole machine, about 20 feet behind that leafless tree in the forground.. 

Our first part of our destination was Churchill connector that connects to the Capital line LRT ower concourse. We needed Century park side. More specifically to Southgate. We left at 4:30pm when the weather was pleasent, and at Southgate at 5pm during peak hours. We were at iHop at 5:40pm in the South Park Centre. We had the 2x5 breakfast. It was very good. Anne likes iHop because they leave the hole container of coffee on the table. I paid for both of us and left the tip.                                                Ok its about to get interesting next: We had a bit of a wait for the #704 back to Southgate and it got real cold waiting for our train to Churchil station. We were waiting for our Valley line train. Lots of homeless. Police on bikes checking in on the homeless people loitering around. Our train home was on the approach. We boarded and arrived at Muttart and top of Connors road on the home streatch, I got up to ready us so we can get to the button that lets us out. We have 2 miniutes roughly. So here's Jimmy, my left hand on a vertical railing and I'm streatching to reach the opposite vertical railing. The driver must have  torqued up as I couldn't get to the railing. All I know was here's 240 lbs of Jimmy losing balance on a high performance train neck hitting a lower handle in pinball fasion landing on the floor. Anne screaming. Nothing broken. Two young guys rushed to help me up. Very nice of them. I thanked them. Train came to our stop. I slowly stepped out. One foot after another. nothing broken. neck and lower right side above my hip, totall soar.  We hobbled back to our place. our outing was fine until that but it was my own fault. My lower back is still soar. Anyway, that's all for now. 

I had a nice outing

yesterday, even though I misjudged where the Edmonto Tower was, whicj was 3 blocks East of where I was. At least the weather was nice. I probably should have got some lunch in Manulfe place anyway.

Anne needed to go to Costco and do some shopping. The Oilers were in Chicago entertaining te fans there. In between periods I was watching Monday night RAW from Düsoldorf, so it was recorded eariler on Netflex. I watched that during the Oilers game.

The game was 2-1, when Hyman scored 3-1 as Chicago was pouring it on. That's when Anne returned. We scored 2 fast goals near the end. My dinner was Costco fries and chicken. Nice dinner. I gave her a foot rub near the end of the local news, and that's where we are. I had a good day today. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm out of here

before noon to make a trip to the Edmonton Service Centre (ETS) to get a new annual bus pass/Ark card. The last one (for this year) wasn't working for some reason. I actived it and. I went to streetview to see my LRT destination and the Centre's exterior was all fenced off. It was under renovation. This was July last year. I need to make sure that I can gain access into the building. I'm sure that job is done by now. 

This week I have the above outing, Anne want's to go out for our monthly Wednesday. Most likely iHop, and Saturday I have a breakfast gig to attend to. After that I'm heading to Clareview shoppers to get my last 2 remaining shots. Good thing I'm not on the job this week like some of my Colleagues are. I can handle one more work project next month, and one more in the fall. Anyway, that's all for now.
