We're back to more seasonal

weather patterns here in Central Alberta. I can take the heat in small doses. +12°-+23°C is perfect for my comfort zone weather wise. I was born in Vancouver British Columbia lower mainland (greater Vancouver area). As much as I love Edmonton, if I could afford to live in the Tri cities area (New Westminster/Coquitlam/Burnaby, I would in a heartbeat. Still supporting Edmonton Elks/Oilers teams.👍

I digress. I mention the above climate because flue shot season is around the corner. I dont know what the exact number is/or was but last year the Alberta Government spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Covid shots that we're not used due to Covid apathy. So now Covid shots need to be ordered, call #881 for more  informatiom. Since we're in a seniors residence and I'm Type 1 diabetic, I get my Covid shot for free. Children are free, seniors in care facilities and low income seniors is free, (I think) everyone else it's Cad $100. This makes sense. Flue shots are free and availible at Shoppers Drug Mart/Rexal free.

I've been waffeling on installing the Onion OS on my Miiyou + handheld for a long time now.. I've watched several You Tube guides. I decided to try and install Onion. I have the Sunshine app on my computer. I double checked to confirm the sd card is Fat32. I use Rufus for this. I tried following one guide, nothing. I tried following several guides, nothing. It could be the non braned sd card, or something I'm missing in Rufas. Anyway, that's all for now.

Before we were shown this

place this last March, we were told that if we rejected it this would not go against our 3 turn downs. This is a 2 bedroom apartment our porovider doesn't have a lot of them. It's a beautiful refurnished suite. Every location has quirks. We get that. A few months in we discovered this place gets hot. And that's with the thermostate turned down. Other tenants have mentioned about this as well. We'll get used to it. 

On this day in 1899, Henry Bliss became the first American to die in an auto accident when he was run over by a taxicab as he exited a streetcar in New York City. Most likely it was one pictured above.

I've had my Nintendo 3Ds Xl since I want to say, 2015. I always wanted to Homebrew it or mod it but the process looked complicated. I cam across a video showing the process which has been streamlined over the years. Maybe I'll do  it one of these days. 

I entered the Oilers 2025-26 schedule

for all the home/away games for this calendar year. Whwn I get the 2026-27 calendar for Christmas, I'll enter the games for the rest of the regular season.

Not much going on this week. I'll want to go to Telus and apply for their bring your own devicep/hone, minimum plan. is $20/month more then what I'm paying now. At least everything is on the same network. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Other then some odds n ends to report, not a lot gping on today

except Lon's "Saturday morning cartoons," and The Elks @ Argo's football game. That's about it for today. 

When Mary broke up our friendship due to external circumstances. That and we we're both lying to each other. I didn't end the friendship, she did. This lying and including her: "I'm not going down without taking someone with me." I really took the whole ordeal hard. but while it was going down, I should have said to myself something like "what was this trying to teach me? I either win or I learn.

I should have taken the above to heart, if I found it at the time. The thing with Mary, we go back to the early 90s. It's not like I met her at the time. Mary and I were only friends. I wasn't her type. Today she's been married for about 4 years. 

Going out for dinner is something Anne and I are thinking about doing next week. She wants to go to iHop. Anyway, that's all for now.

I decided against going out to

lodge this evening. If it was a regular lodge night sure. It's a Past Masters night. Meaning to say, it's going to be a long night. I'll go to the next one in October.

On this day in 1940, near Montignac, France, a collection of prehistoric paintings was discovered by four teenagers who stumbled upon the ancient artwork (estimated to be between 15,000 and 17,000 years old) after following their dog down a narrow entrance into the Lascaux Cave 

Tommorrow the Elks are in Toronto. I don't like the start time but its an afternoon game. If we can win even 3 out of the remaining 6 games, we improve our win loss record more so then last year. Anyway, that's all for now.

The window cleaning crew

has yet to appear at the back of the building/courtyard area. The noticed from Monday to Friday. We'll see.

Yesterday the plan was to get yhe Onion OS installed onto my Miiyou mini plus hand held device. I tried previously but I couldn't get it to load. Then I realized that maybe the micro sd card wasn't formated to Fat32. There''s no way Windows can format the card to Fat32. Is there a way I can format the sd card outside of Windows? Mr. Google directed me to this website were It can.. The free program is called Fat32.gul It woked like a charm. Now I just need to install Onion OS. My project for the weekend..

It was 24 years today that the World trade center buildings were destroyed, comonly known as 9/11. Anne and I were married barely 1 year. I was still in my 40's, I remember on the bus heading towards work on Jasper Ave. Wondering whay there was a crowd gathering watching a TV screen. I was going to pick Anne up after work, where she was working at the Norwood Legion. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Apple had their

 WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) event earlier. iPhones are getting a bit bigger. new improvements on the hardware. i0s 26 coming out next month. Nothing really new

The Hank McCune Show, a sitcom that debuted on this day in 1950, had the distinction of being the first TV program to make use of 'canned laughter' the noxious pre-recorded laughs often dubbed into a soundtrack. 

As a kind of preview of Y2K, it was feared that the date 9/9/99 would cause problems for computers as some data systems used the digits 9999 to mark the end of a file. I remember working security guard work in the West end on New Years eve 1999 doing the graveyard shift, worried if my computer would activate, when I got home. Sure enough it did. LOL 

Not much going on this week. Sometime later this month our seniors residence is organizing a bus trip to the Wetaskiwin museum Might be fun. Anyway, that's all for now.
