Not much happening

yesterday. I was up from a rough night of RLS. Maybe 3 hours sleep, overall. I went back to bed about 11am. I woke up again about 2:00pm. Anne made us a quick lunch before she begane her shift. 

For the most part I watched Smackdown. The show, was lame and draged out until the match before the main event.That took me to roughly 8pm.

After Smackdown, I went and checked on my mail. I stepped out to get some fresh air. For once no smokers out there. Anyway, that's about all for now.

With some help from Anne

after dinner last night, we did some purging of cables on the floor behind my computer. We took out 2 AC power barsand have everything plugged into the tower, still 7 outlets free and 3 usb ports, free. I'm not powering up the work laptop until we're recalled to take on a new project. I'm going to skip this next project and see if I can take a year off to see what my rent will be like. 

I'm still on the mend. Anne doesn't want me to go out until for the rest of the week. Not even to the district meeting Saturday. I haven't been to one since 2014. I might be able to go to lodge practice Sunday, and Lodge next Thursday followed by Scottish Rite, Friday. Speaking of which, there is a 32° jewel availible, $60. Out of my Price range for the time being.

As for the rest of the week, I'm home today, "Smackdown," tomorrow. I was going to go to BoB Saturday but Anne deson't want me out. Possibly Sunday. But I need to wait at least 10 days from the last time I had the flue. Aparently until I can get my Flu & RSV. Wait 2 weeks and get my covid shot and I can't remember what the 4th one is called. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm not posting much to

Facebook much these days. Most of my  messages are from Messenger. It's just that my followers engage me on the Messenger platform anyway. You can always reach me here . 

The day after I got my 32° in Scottish Rite I developed the 24 hour flue Saturday night. I didn't throw up much. But 4 days latter bam!

I enjoyed getting out to Al. Shamal. Mostly the Toyoto dealership. I bought a chese burger fries there Friday and really enjoyed it. A nice meal but the cab ride was $10 from Toyoto to Al Shamal. It took me from February to October three 3 day sessions. Anyway, no outings this week. That's all for now.

It took 9 months

But I can now lay claim to being a 32° Scottish Rite Mason. After this it's Knights Templar, probably next year. I'm stopping at 4 Masonic bodies. That should be enough. 

Elks are in Regina thisafternoon for a 1pm game. Elks are a target and the game could go anyway Anyway, that's all for now. 

Anne and I headed out of here

about 3:30pm. She wanted to try a take out over at the Bejing place, or what ever it's called now. I caught my cab to the Al Shamal. I had difficulty finding the entrance. Found it. <note to self.  The evening was interesting but it was difficult sitting in one place, stirring in a chair. That's RLS. I got a ride home from Mustafa. Nice fellow. He said he can do the drive home, tonight and Friday for me.

We got up to 16°C yesterday. A bit more of the same for today and then Friday, mid single digits.  

Hopefully our weather will be like last year for the season. 

My new Dell monitor is working just fine. I like the joy stick controler bottom right back of the display. The joystick activates the on screen menu. Very cool. The speakers are a nice touch but I wont use them much. I should have got the USB  Hub version that would have double the price. Anyway, that's all for now. 

The great referendum

 Is over. For now. Not that I was following it. I didn't participate in the referendum voting because I can't stand for more then 5 minutes without sitting down. Depending on the outcome, this was a dress rehersal for another one that's binding. I  doubt this will be the last word on the topic. Hopefully that will be it for another year.  

I finally have my issues fixed with OBS and Fl. Studio. I think from here on in its just plug and play. 

So, what's next? Well I've got the next 3 days with Scottish rite. My Amazon order is expected here on Thursday. 

This stiff old body has some cable managment to do. I also ordered this "tower power bar" that has 12 outlets.Anyway, that's all for now.

Anne took a look at the monitor

and suggested I order a new one from Amazon. Apologies to local retails that have the same Dell 27" monitor I ordered earlier. The monitor I was shopping for needed to have at least 2 HDMI ports. Most on Amazon had 1. I looked for USB C and A ports but that would have doubled the price. Also, unlike my current monitor, the new one can flip into portrait mode and has 2 front 3 watt speakers. Not that I'd use them at all.  Just a nice extra touchI placed the order: $200. Plus I bought an upright AC power bank that has 12 inputs and 2 USB C and 2 USB A ports. This will clean up my spiders web of cables on the floor. The order should be here next week. 

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the tragedy that happened during the fire at CFB Wainwright on Saturday. 4 soldiers died in a fire accident caused by heavy winds and a grass fire durring a training exercise. 19 people are in crittical condition. Many more injured. My heart goes out to the all involved.  

The reason why Anne and I are not voting in todays referendum is because is literally a "dress rehearsal" or a preliminary step for another one. The ballot does not ask voters to immediately separate from Canada. Instead, Question 10 asks voters to choose between remaining a province of Canada or authorizing the government to commence the legal process under the Canadian Constitution to hold a second, binding provincial referendum specifically on whether or not Alberta should separate. This is what I think people dont get. Besides the 9 questions really slow things down and I'd need to bring my 2nd walker along as I can't stand for long periods of time. Anyway, that's all for now.
