The highlights of my week

this week has been watching the Edmonton Oilers, on this (so far) disastrous Eastern road trip. They bombed out in Buffalo, on Monday (Flames won against the Sabres the day after) and showed signs of promise in Washington

despite their 4-7 loss. The Capitals scored 2 empty net goals on the Oilers when the score was 4-5 with 2 minutes remaining. If that's not enough The Oilers are playing the Lightning tonight. These guys are exausted. With their 9-9-4 record, its a better home record 22 games in then last year's 9-12-1. Maybe the Oilers will show some signs of life tonight. So much for the exciting life of a poor retired senior.🤣

Today in the US is National Absurdity day. Yes you heard that right. This day was created as a day to recall and note some of the entirely off-the-wall and ridiculous things in history, in our country, and in our lives. Absurdity Day is also a day to have fun and do crazy, zany, and absurd things. 

I need to upgrade my cell phone plan. I bought this current pre owned phone last March. It came with bagage from the prvious owner. My current cell phone provider says there is no way I can reduce the prvious owners chat messages despite my phone's. For $20 more I can get a new phone with the same features and larger capacity. I was going to do that this afternoon. I'll wait until tomorrow. Anyway, that's all for now.

I wasn't a big video

gaming fan when game comsoles began to enter my awareness in the 70s. I bought my first computer, in 1987: The Atari 130xe. A year later I bought the Atari ST. In the 90s I bought the Nintendo Entertainment system and had fun with that. Then I got the Sega genesis. I remember Mary from across the hall in my old place before marriage with Anne, coming over and playing the games with me. In the mid 90s I had a 486 generic computer. When mom passed away I bought my first real computer. A Pentium with Windows 95 followed that. 

Then I got, another generic computer from one of the guys at Xentel with Windows ME. After that I got a Windows media computer with Windows Xp in 2005. When the Xp went out on me ~2016, I got a Windows pc stick. Then my current and real computer in 2018. That's 7 computers in 31 years.  

Not much going on this week. Next week is when it gets busy. 2 practices the same day, same location and on the degree team the same week. Two separate branches of Freemasony. Good thing I keep a callendar. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on

for this week. I never got out to do what I wanted to do Saturday, even I hope to get my RSV and 

another shot this week over here at Bonnie doon Mall. Otherwize my week is open. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm having a decent

week. I was going to go out earlier this afternoon with Anne and Skippy, but that failed to materialize. 

On November 12, 1933, Hugh Gray was walking along the shore of Loch Ness when he saw an "object of considerable dimensions, making a big splash with spray on the surface of the Loch." He had his camera with him, and captured what some believe to be the first photographic evidence of the Loch Ness Monster. Others have dismissed the image as a distortion of a dog swimming through the water. 

I've been wanting to use my iPad for a Garageband project, but Anne has been using the iPad more then I have lately.  I just recently discovered that Garageband is now availible for windows. Cool. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had a busy couple of days

here, what with lodge and other stuff going on. Speaking of which, wereceived a dump of snow on the ground yesterday. Most of its melted. We're supposed to warm up so that will melt what posckets of snow are left on the ground. Right now we're at:

At the moment its Montreal in the East and underway its BC Lions in Regina to determine the teams in the 2025 Grey cup. Depends on which team wins the West will determine the teams for the Grey cup next Sunday on the 16th

Although I'm not joining another Masonic order, my intention is to finish what I started in Royal Arch. That means Cryptic, which includes Royal Ark Mariner as well. I'm possibly looking at the end of September next year. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not sure

when I'm bing picked up this evening but I'll drop a line in chat to my brother late this afternoon. After that, nothing until Saturday. 

On November 5, 1954, Thomas Manners, responsible for keeping 800 clocks wound, got his smock caught in the mechanism of the great clock in the London Law Courts tower, and was strangled to death by the clock he'd tended for so many years.

I uploaded another Launchpad video from my iPhone. I have 71 views 1 comment 1 like. That was 3 hours ago. Not to bad. No response so far from a related link. Anyway, that's alll for now.

it's going to be a slow

day today. Not much to say today as far as my diary goes. No entry. All I got left in the tank is a blog and maybe a Facebook post. We'll see where that goes. My expression right now:

Nine am isn't early for me. I usually wake up about that time anyway. Perfect because higher ups want to do their monthly laptop maintenance. I just have to get up early and let tech  support know, my laptop is ready. I need to be standing by in case they need me to do a restart. Then I can go back to bed. 

The only "job" I have is to do Thursday is the music and during the "Empty Chair" ceromony is have my timmer on for a 2 miniute moment of silence, and the "Last Post." That's all loaded and ready to go. After that I have nothing going on over the next 14 days and BoB. Easy peasy. Anyway, that's all for now.
