Yesterday's Elks at Calgary CFL game, started out slow for the Green & Gold. Keep in mind Elks had 16 days off, and were out of sync the first half. First Quarter was 0-4 Stamps. 2nd Q 14-7 Stamps. Did that long layover do us in? 3rd Q 211-14 4th Q Elks got 17 points. Elks ended up winning 31-28. Elks Host the Stamps again Saturday 5pm. Looking forward to that one.

WWE's Sunday night main
Saturday, September 5, 2026
Sorry I haven't been posting
lately. It's been an interesting couple of days. Lodge last night was "educational" from my POV. Apparently, the DDGM does not have officers, it's the District Grand Master that has appointed officers. I think the more Masonic bodies I belong to will get me noticed more often. Up next Cryptic Rite. Part of Royal Arch system.
Cant think of a graphic to add to this post. Other then that not much going on this weekend, thank God. Although anything can happen at anytime. Expect the unexpected. Anyway that's all for now.

I slept for much of the
afternoon yesterday and after dinner, I ended up watching Monday night Raw, which was over by 7:45pm. What with WWE's Main event Sunday is probably why the abreivated show last night. IDK.
Over 2 sessions I had just over 7 hours of sleep yesterday. That was aided by a Malatonin assist. But a bite to eat
and a massage of my lower legs before bed helped to keep the RLS wolves at bay
Right now, I'm sipping my "sleep tea" as Anne calls it, a bit of You Tube, up out of the chair to get my steps. I usually like to do 1500 steps before bed, and minimum of 2k steps per day. Anyway, that's all for now.

It seems the longer I
sit in this chair, the more it settles down and the noises it made dissolves. One thing is certain, I need a new chair. Anne suggested I need an office chair from a place that specializes in office chairs. More on this later.
I didn't think I would need to be in the EA degree team Thursday because there is normally not any music for this degree. It was suggested to me that there is a portion of the degree where background music would be helpfull. I found some nice up beat music and I just need it to fit it into the degree structure. Easy enough to do.
A close friend of ours and in our group is receiving home care. Our friend recomended this to me. I have issues with my toe nails as with my weight its hard to have them trimed. Anne does them for me occasionally. I need to call these people to see if I can get some help and have them trimmed off once every 2 weeks, when Anne is out shopping. She deosn't like strange people coming into our apartment. I hope to be setting this up, sometime durring the week. Anyway, that's all for now.

If it wasn't for CFL
football in the summer and Oilers hockey in the winter, most of my time is spent at the computer, news at 11-12 back on the computer You Tube, my music channel, and retro gamming.
I've been invited for cards 3 days a week in the main floor lounge, but this RLS has. Irene next door has a small group going.
I think she does this after "Coffee Club." I might do this in the winter. The game they play is Bridge or Wyst, which I've never played before.
I've got a feeling that after lodge, I'll be back at work but I'm making my availibility for just 3 days a week. At 74 years old I'm closing out that portion of my life. This could be the last project as it cuts into my rent the more money I make the Alberta Government claws back from the AG pension. As a senior I really need to watch my income. Anyway, that's all for now.

Looks like my day
tomorrow is free. I'm not doing anything in Lodge Thursday other then open and close, it seems.
I'm seriously considering an account for the Audio Technica AT2020USB-XP Cardioid Condenser USB Microphone. Not only is it USB but sound monitored is from the mic itself via a headphone input on
the mic itself. Also this mic has a built in audio interface. I've had Audio Technica mics before but the last one was an XLR mic input. This mic goes right to the sound card in the computer via USB.
Anne left out of here to get milk. She didn't say where, Safeway or Capilano mall. Anyway, that's all for now.
