I have 2 events

happening this week, with AASR. It's just 2 nights. I'm looking forward to it. Part 2 of 3 ending in October.

Yesterday was International Piano day. Usually the 88th day of the year, because there are 88 keys on a piano. With one hand I can do a Major C scale, and I know the difference between a Major and a minor key and the knotes on a piano keyboard.

But that's about it. I even have the Arturia 25 key minilab 3 midi keyboard controler but I want to get the new Arturia Key Step 37 mk2 MIDI Controller, eventually. @ cad $249, for what it can do, it's a good deal. I might go pick it up this week at Long & McQuade and bring my minilab 3 as a Trade in. 

Anne received her Amazon order yesterday. Mine is expected to come in Wednesday. Anyway, other then the above, not much else is going on this week. I'm feeling prfetty good about my week ahead. Anyway, that's all for now.

Oilers were playing at Rogers place arena on a rare Saturday afternoon game @ 1pm. I missed the first hlaf of the first period. Oilers won 4-2, scoring in an empty net.

On this date in 1979 at 4:00 AM, the most significant accident in the history of the U.S. nuclear power industry occurred when a pressure valve in the Unit-2 reactor at Three Mile Island failed to close. Cooling water, contaminated with radiation, drained from the open valve into adjoining buildings, and the core began to dangerously overheat.

Wednesday/Thursday, I'll be at the Al Shamal building. It's Rose Croix night. One more section after this in October. Anyway, that's all for now. 

 

I had an easy

day today. This morning I had an Amazon order. Two usb 3 port hubs, 3 usb c/c cables & 2 4 pack usb-3 usb C adapters. Just 3 small items, my $75 order should be arriving this weekend.  

The c to c are 6 feet. I wanted 1o foot ones but they were not Apple MFi certified. The USB 3 Hub extender wikk give me more ports on my computer. 

Yesterday, I used the Windows game bar screen recorder, (it's free) to record a 20 minute video. Works really good. Anyway, that's all for now.

We received some snow in the city

 yesterday. Not sure how much but the event lasted unto 3pm. There were no horor stories in reguards to the afternoon commute. 

On this date in 1655, Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens discovere Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. In recent years, the orange moon, which is bigger than the planet Mercury, has been found to have lakes of hydrocarbons. Nasa is still going with the April first Artimis 2 launch. Sounds like an April fools joke to me.

Unless things change, I'm out of here at 5pm for Chapter. Should be a good night. Anne sugested I wear my boots but I don't need my cleats. I'm a little aprehencive, due to Sunday's practice mishap. Anyway, that's all for now.

As a back up for tomorrow night

in Chapter, I'm going to have Grand Chapter website where I have Chapter music open, incase something happens. 

I know someone that got in the way of an old friendship, years ago. Him and his wife (my friend) were riding his high end disability train. He blocked me on Facebook.

So now Don is on old age pension and they are hurting. The above meme came to mind and if they ever needed my help that didn't have to do with financial reasons I'd help them. Even though they betrayed me and they deserve the meme above. Both of them are scumbags.

I'm relaxing today, with nothing to do. I'm busy tomorrow night, for obvious reasons. Anyway, that's all for now.

That's tax time set up and done

for another year. Our tax person even got our NOA. previously, we'd have to wait for it to come in by mail, which would take until ~ mid April

Other then Chapter Thursday night, not a lot is going on this week.


Next week Al Shamal for 2 nights. AASR on the 10th. No other outings this month other then Thursday. Thank God I'm not working.

Looks like we're in for another snow event this week. I need to make sure my BT speaker is  pwered on as it cut out on me during Sundays practice. Anyway, that's all for now.

At first I thoughtI' be steering my own

ship to Highlands Hall this morning for our practice, but this morning Perry said he'd pick me up. He got his wires crossed. He's about the same age as me, so it's not unusual that this sort of us can happen. Good thing I keep a calendar 😀I should be done the above by 2:30pm, home by about 3pm-ish.

Yesterday and this morning we signed our T185 forms, our tax fellow hopefully recieved and got everything. And the right forms. If I followed the right instructions. Knowing me, following instruction incidents have been known to go South on me before. This might be the last big return I'll be able to get because of threshold entrance mechanics moving in here. 

Since I'm not in a rush this morning, I can slowly pack my iPad etc, and gradually make my way out the door for my noon pick up. Anyway, that's all for today.
