Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Clareview Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause. Feel free to contact me on my Twitter feed or YouTube channel Shannon on Sounds. Thanks for dropping by
weather wise. We got up to +8°, which is pretty good for this time of year. We're suposed to get snow today but it could be gone by Thursday
Speaking of Thursday, since I am the unofficial "musical director" for my lodge we're going to have ceremony for Rememberance day. I managed to get "The last Post" music for that part of the ceremony. It's going to be a busy lodge night. Anyway that's all for now.
to go but for some reason it was saved to draft. Sorry about that. I know what the problems is: Before this post is published, a copy is made to publish on another platform. Same title. Then I publish this entry on Blogger. Somehow it didn't get published and moved to draft. I'll publish here first then the other platform later.
Going to lodge practice last night didn't happen. Late Sunday afternoon/evening ETS bus service is a real challenge here in NE Edmonton. Weekend bus service is at half speed and getting a bus to Clareview is ok but the #104 always ends up going out of service. Next one is half an hour away. I could catch the nearest bus across the street from here but that gets me to lodge to early or 10-15 minutes or later I can't depend on my brothers all the time.
Last nights Oilers/Flames game was a real barn burner. We got the first goal, Then in the 2nd Calgary tied. We got the go ahead and Calgary tied that as well. Late in the 3rd we got the go ahead and won 3-2. Apparently conner will be out of action for another 2-3 weeks. Anyway, that's all for now.
smoke "someone out." Since this blog has comments tturned off. I could have done this is a Tweet. My last post of fiction I deleted for this one.
evening where they recognized Dr. Randy Gregg and Craig McTavish into the Oilers Hall of fame. Both of these players made significant contributions to the Legacy of the Edmonton Oilers. McTavish as the last player in the league to not wear a healmet and won 2 Stanley Cups and as coach took the team to the 2006 Game 7 finale. Gregg won 5 Stanley cups for the Oilers and went onto become a Doctor. The Oilers won against Pittsburgh penguins 4-0. Right now the Oilers are 3-4-1 in their last 8. I hope they found their grove last night.
In keeping with local sports, any team playing its last game of the regular season and not making the post season, wants to end their season on a high note and win their last game. Our Edmonton Elks did just that in OT 31-30 against the Argos. Great night for both teams.
My Post modern Rock track on You tube has got 10 views ans so far has 3 coments and 2 likes and I'm @ 212 subscribers. Anyway, that's all for now.
FCC this evening but last night after my flue/Covid shot and the Oilers game over, I developed cramp in my lower left leg. In the thigh. I took a melatonin pill and a pain killer and finally fell asleep by 8am. I woke up shortly before 1pm. I got 5 hours sleep out of all of that.
Over there at The Sound test Room, Doug Woods was showing the new update for the Agonizer bass app. Over the years I thought but, Doug was doing a walk through the new update and the Dub step sound pack. It sounded so good, I just had to buy it. Total ~ $14.
The other day, I finished reading (finally) Timothy Zhan's "Icaras Plot." Took me long enough. Not sure what to read next though.
Tomorrow morning about 11am I'm up to get ready for my 1pm PCN appoinment. I should be him by ~ 3pm. I sent Chapter I have the weekend off. Anyway, that's about all for now.
at FCC last Wednesday. That was a bit of a surprise. If he's not there this Wednesday, I have a feeling that it will be Mary's idea for him not to show up. Drama, yeesh.
In an effort to do some Facebook friends list orginization, I found an old contact. A friend of an old friend of mine from Coquitlam school days from the 60s. Apparently I had last made contact with Dave Winfield July 2015. So I made a chat enquirey. Sure enough my contact replied. I found that Daves wife had passed away last November causing Dave to be depressed and he drank himself to death and passed in the Spring. I have no further details. R.I.P. Dave & Terry.
Nothing developing in the way of work. Normally we'd have 2 projects in tandum for this time of year before our end of the year staff party. We might have something this month but I'm not holding my breath. As soon as I get back to work, everything is going to savings. Anyway, that's all for now.
to my Jim Shannon on Sounds channel. I have several views and several likes and comments. I'll link the video here.
Thanksgiving 2024 is here. I have much to be thankful for: My wife, my home, my lodge, my music, my job (when I have work) Life is good. The Elks are bettere than they were last year. The Oilers are meh. Other then needing to get back to work, life is good. I have no complaints.
This week Tuesday Anne and I want to head out for a bite to eat. Something keeps getting it delayed. Wednesday, I'm at FCC and that will be my week. Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone. Anyway, that's all for now.
