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.

My wife is having all kinds of

trouble loading Team viewer on her Windows 10 computer. It keeps failing to install. We think it could be an issue with Windows Firewall. I'll be messing with that later today. We have other options. Last resort, we use my computer for the 2 days/week she needs to work. 



November 3rd is a day of remembrance for the prophet St. Malachy, dubbed the "Irish Nostradamus." There was a great panic in Europe over the close approach of a comet, on November 3, 1679.

I didn't watch the Oilers game last night. They we're in Saint Louis and they lost 2-3 against. The Blues. I didn't miss much. Tonight Oilers are in Dallas. I'll follow that one but I think they will lose this one as well.. Zach Hyman is week/by week. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday was busy

I was up abput 5am, getting ready to head out to BoB. I made good timing to Tims as they were open at 6am. I was at BoB's by 8am. Just Ceryl, Tarrus and myself there, with Merril. I took some photos of the damaged caused by last summers fire at Wyndham crossing. Building B. The whole place was gutted.

Welcome to November, which takes its name from 9th month of the ancient Roman calendar. On this date in 1755, the Great Lisbon Earthquake occurred, which was followed by a tsunami and fires. It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history with the near-total destruction of Lisbon, Portugal. Geologists estimate the earthquake was close to a magnitude 9 on the Richter scale.


Yesterday I was able to get my Flu/Pnemonia shot. Next Saturday, I go back again, but I need to make an appointment which I will do this week. At that time it's for my RSV. I have one more out of 4. Anyway, that's all for now.

My wife is hard at work with her in bound

call center job. She's taking pizza orders and customer service calls. Lot's of delivery order are late due to it being Halloween. Most of them are late. Crazy. 

Held on this day was the ancient Celtic's Samhain harvest feast (the precursor to today's Halloween). The date later became associated with All Hallows Eve, honoring the Christian saints. On this day in 1926, magician Harry Houdini passed over to the Other Side. Every year since then, a Halloween séance has been conducted to try and contact him. 

Lately I've been having tremors in my lower left leg. Lewy body dementia: Movement symptoms are common, mirroring Parkinson's disease, and may include stiffness, slow movement, tremors, or a shuffling walk. These can lead to falls. I received a fall at last Chapter meeting. Should I be concerned? I need to get to the Doctors across the street for a consultation and see what's going on. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on except my mens breafast

on except my mens breafast meeting Saturday morning. I need to get my flue shot at Shoppers drug Mart nearby nearby anyway.

I love Halloween week. The weather channel usually plays some spooky music. This year it's it's rather bland. Hopefully the weather channel has got some feedback and next year, they'll fix this. 


Earlier Anne went out to get Chinese food at Red Diamond. Just over here off 82nd. It looked like at one time it was a buffet but Anne didn't see a buffet when she was there . Anyway, that's all for now.

I think that

Sustane ointment I received from the eye clinic Friday, is workinging. The side efffect, however is a slight blurring of vision for about the first hour after I woke up. 

Earkier this month I made my first You Tube short from my iPhone. I was using Launcpad. after about an hour, the video earlned a huge amount of views. I was excited. The next day, 180 as views began to taper off after that. I made another short yesterday


 from the computer and the aspect ratiion was not the same as from the iPhone. I even added a link to the existing video I took the short from. 60 seconds. An hour later, 5 views. I even added an extensive keyword list to my channel. I think from now on, I'll be making my shorts on my iPhone, and not on the computer. I think that first 180 views was a fluke. I'll make the nessecary changes next Short.

I was supposed to have meeting with Mack and his wife here but we're booiking it for Wedness day in the observation lounge upstairs. Anyway, that's all for now.
