The Edmonton folk fest

is Well underway. Day 3 underway. Even though we're practically next door, I've never been to this event. These days I couldn't do the standing even though most people bring lawn chairs. I'm not a folk music buff enough to enjoy it. 


After consulting the schedual, the Elks/Montreal game is at 1pm Edmonton time. We're 6-2/Al's are 7-1. We definatly need this W this afternoon but the Alouette's are a strong team. with their QB @ Completions/Attempts: 197/275, Passing Yards: 2,788 Touchdowns:14 Our guy Fajardo: Completions/Attempts: 194 / 270 (71.9% completion rate) Passing yards: 2,577 yardsTouchdowns / Interceptions: 14 TDs / 4 INTs

 I haven't started my coloring of the Tarot Archetect cards. I hope to get to the "O" card this weekend, using pro create.. I'd rather do it this way then with paints. Less messy. Anyway, that's all for now. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm moving a little slower these days

as in a few weeks, I'll be 74. I'm getting up there🤣As of a few days ago, I was doing 3k steps/day but it was getting harder on me. I needed to make some changes. I decided a worthwhile goal is to get up once an hour and do some steps. My new goal is 1k/day min, and get up and move once an hour.

Over the past few days I've been working on my mic/camera setup with OBS (open broadcast studio) which seems to be the industry standard for live streaming and producing videos for You Tube. I had this working before we m oved last year, so now, I'm setting things up again. 


I've been wanting to get more into my gaming and I haven't even connected my Anbernic RG35XXSP concole to the TV yet. Last week I got the mini hdmi cable, so I hope to try it out this afternoon. Anyway, that's all for now.

I received my Amazon

order just as Anne was coming back from her trip to Clareview Costco. It was a birthday present for myself.

Anne hadn't face timed with her sister Pat in awhile, so it was good we were we're able to touch base and all. Anne used to do that with her on a weekly basis. We exchanged contact information, since we were unable to chat with her since our move from that fire trap Windham last year. 

I've been wanting to do some coloring book art projects/over head shots. I'd like to scan something in and use my iPad. I have Procreate.  Its very versityle.


I bought the book Tarot Archetect (Amazon order) by Lon Milo DuQuette. It has line drawings of his Tarot deck and coloring suggestions. He suggested we make this project our own and customize it anyway we want. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was watching

WWE Summerslam Saturday and following the Riders/Elks game, at Commonwealth. There was a delay of game due to rain. That worked out good because Summerslam Saturday was over as the 2nd half returned. We lost the rubber match 28-26. Riders were determined to at least tie the series. Riders are back here October 24th. I think. Then there is Summerslam Sunday. Looking forward to this. 

Edmonton Fringe Festival - from August 13 to
August 23 throughout Old Strathcona experience
music, comedy, and more! There are free shuttle
services and free outdoor events. Indoor events
typically have an admission price (tickets are often less than $20). I remember the first fringe festival, I think it was 1981. 
And finally from me, I got no place to go this week. However I'm considering a trip to Long & McQuade to get a USB microphone. I've been using the AT&T mic for years until I think it got lost in the move. AT&T makes good microphones. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its a new month. My birthday month.

August 21st to be exact, lol 

I got Summerslam Saturday on at 4pm, and the CFL RIders are @ Commonwealth today at 5pm. I'll be following the Elks game and watching Summerslam, yeesh. Then there is Summerslam Sunday as well. Good times.

Edmonton Heritage Festival - coined the “world's

largest three-day multicultural celebration” enjoy
cultural dances and folk music. There are no
admission fees and the festival is happening
August 1 to 3 at the recently rehabilitated Hawrelak Park. Organizers are hoping for no rain, as the festival isn't set up for that.

I think I have a yeast infection going on. At some point I need to book an appointment with my Pharamacist and see what's going on in my specific use case. Anyway, that's all for now.

I pray, yes I do.

A lot. In my mind, God is the Great archetect of the Universe. In Qabalistic terms, God is the great singularity of creation. God is not the God of the Christian Bible. The great singularity of all. God is a Supreame being. God hears my voice. I talk with God every day through my diary. God is pure conciousness. AGLA.

Wow, a day without rain😲.I might soil my diaper, I'm so surprised. The sad part about all of this 500+ rain for July, is the mosquito's are going to hang around longer. 

Today sometime between 1 & 4pm, we're having the inspectors pay us a visit. They do every other month. It's rough on because she works today. That and its the last day of July. Anyway, that's all for now.

I was about ready to

settle in for a nice relaxing day, when suddenly Anne says, "We're going to try out Stacked! Mainstreet Millwoods." This was about 1:40pm. I didn't think there would be enough time. It was just one lrt ride away. We got there about 2:15pm. It was nice. I didn't like how they served my diet cola in a can and I had to ask for a glass. that was the only


drawback. We'll go back again. Denny's is better.

Looks like our massive July rain extravaganza has tappered off. I decided to go out for a bit of air, because I wasn't bothered by the mosquito's earlier. As soon as I got outside, I got swarmed like Ukranian drones hitting a Wildberries wearhouse. Anyway, that's all for now.
