Anne & I don't nrmally

go out on our monthly outing on a Sunday. Mainly because ETS is slow. Anne wanted to try the downtown Denny's location. So we left about 5:30pm to the Stratherean LRT for city centre mall. Navaigating the homeless, Anne suggested we walk to Denny's since I had my walker. Sure. We just need to get to 104th Ave. She was getting frustrated and asked if we could order a cab. Sure. Because of LRT constraction, it cost us $10. No big deal.

Anne doesn't like going because it cuts in her time to connect with family at 8pm on a Sunday. I really like Denny's downtown. I had the 4 sausages, 2 eggs (medium) cubbed hashbrowns. Anne had something similar. It was closing in on 7:15pm. I called us a cab, which cost only $15 to our place. We made it just in time for Anne's Facetime call from her sister. Anyway, that's all for now.

Stll in recovery mode

from the stomach virus I had 2 days ago, early Wednesday morning. I'm about 80% recovered. Anne gave me some lemon relief tea, and that helped me go to sleep right away. 

Anne wants to try that "Eleven eleven" resturaunt. I said during World Cup it's going to be like a hornets nest in there. Especially with Canada in the mix. After July 19th would be better. 

I'm still torn from getting Omnisphere 3 or UVI Sonic Pass. I might just still stick with Omnisphere 3, and UVI next year. I can wait. I don't like paying $30/month. Almost as much as my cell phone plan. Not only that but I'd need an external hard drive to run UVI. Anyway, that's all for now.

I never did make

it out to Freemasons hall Tuesday night as my, psoriasis wasacting up. Even after a couple of days of applying some Doctor perscribed ointment my psoriasis was acting up on me. 

my reagrets to the appropiate parties. Sigh. I really wanted to attend. 

Not only that but I received a stomcah virus over night and puked once. This had a stanglehold on me until about 7pm, when I was dozing on the couch Anne had bought me an A&W "Smash Burger." I think that was the perp

Other then that, I got the Elks game going on today but Anne wants to go out for our monthy. I can keep track of the score on my iPhone while we're having dinner. Sounds like a plan. 

What's happening this week...

Tonight is Monday Night Raw, I'm going to see about getting a ride to Freemason's Hall for tomorrow night as a friend of mine is going to be installed as Lodge Master, Wednesday Anne & I are going out for our monthly outing, Thursday is the Elks/Winnipeg. Looking forward to that one. Friday is Smackdown, Saturday morning I'm out at a mens bring your own breakfast event and after that is WWE's "Night of Champions." 

I'm so tempted to get Omnisphere 3. It's a huge VST library. I can get it at Long & McQuade. I've been wanting to get it since it's initial relese. 

I don't like the price, but I have the hard drive space and I can reactivate my Long & McQuade account again.

We're still getting rain as it's supposed to ease off later this morning. Looking forward to Josh's rainfall update. See how much rain we got this weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

During the last 72 hours, I think we

have had more rain volume then anything, I've ever seen here in this city. And this is more or less steady rain. Makes me homesick for the Lower mainland.

Speaking of weekend rain, yesterday at Commonwelth Stadium, the Elks (Canadian Football League) were hosting the Montreal Alouettes. The Al's have always been top in the East like the Riders here in the West. 

Al's managed to tie the game @23 forcing OT. Elks needed a field goal to tie to keep the game going or a Touchdown. The rain at Commonweath affected both teams but Elks ended up with the W 32-29. Elks haven't had a record like this since 2019. This week is the rubber match where we're going to get a beating for sure. 

I recently had to switch from LibreOffice to Apache OpenOffice because the fonts were glitching out on me. Honestly, neither quite matched Microsoft Works, which I used from 2005 to 2010 for my diary and short stories on an old Windows XP Compaq computer—I actually still have that hard drive but it'd not compatibe with my 2018 computer! Since Microsoft Word is the closest thing to Works today, it’s been on my radar for years. Since the only options now are a Microsoft 365 subscription or the Office 2024 one-time purchase, I decided to use $100 of my leftover allowance to buy the Office 2024 license. It felt like a necessary expense, and I’m really happy with the decision. Anyway, that’s all for now!.  

Tonight its Friday

night Smackdown, tomorrow at 2pm its Montreal@ Elks. Elks home opener. Sunday is fathers day. Not that I get anything out of it. Tuesday is Patricia Lodge instalation as a friend of mine is getting installed in King Solomon's chair. My year in the Est was 2024. I'm thinking Wednesday would be a good day for Anne and I to go on our monthly outing. Thursday it's Winnipeg/Elks. Friday Smackdown, Saturday, night of Champions. Friday is also payday😀

Speaking of which, Akai has released the MPC 37 Gen 2. It's i white finish as below. The origonal one was in red. What's cool about this

new device is that it has double the Ram plus a usb c port to sample my iPad. It means I'm going to have to open my account at L&M. Anyway, that's all for now, 

The weather kept us

from going out. We wanted to go to "Stacks" but they close at 3pm. We would need to get out of here by 11:30am. I don't like rushing. Managment policy here has a monthly inspection of all seuites. They are mainly looking for pet oders that sort of thing, It's usually an in out type thing. Mostly the inspections are in the mornings. If that's the case, then Anne says we should go after that. I agree.

I went outside to get some air for awhile and my mail. The infill housing across the street is coming together nicely. Looks like its a 3 plex. Infill houseing is quite popular around here lately. 

Other then the above not much else is going on. There's Smackdown tomorrow, Elks Home game Saturday. Life is good. Anyway, that's all for now.
