I'm on the fence

about the iPhone duo but if I can get it on a plan, I might. It seems to me that the Duo bridges the gap between the iPad mini and the iPhone Duo. 

I'm still not sure how I feel about retirement. I was pushed, not nudged. But they want to send me out on a high note at our staff Christmas party On the 16th of next month. My higher ups realize that the extra money was cutting into my rent. They were concerned about that. In some ways this was a mercy pull as well. At least Frances will tell me what projects they are doing. I was with them for 12 years. I wish there was something I could do cash under the table.

Today, I got to call Shoppers to see if they have supply and if I can go in as a walk in Tuesday after my Doctors appointment @ 2:30pm tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be out by 3pm.  Shoppers by 4 home by 5:30 with new iPhone? Well that's the plan, or I night even do this afternoon to Shoppers. Anyway, that's all for now.

Anne made her ususal Sunday

brunch. It was really good. After she talks with her sister, Anne said she's going out shopping for something.

Tomorrow, I need to call Shoppers to see if they have Covid/RSV supplies so I can get my shots after my Doctors appointment Tuesday. 

If there is time, on my way out I'm considering getting a plan for the new iPhone duo. I wont need my iPad anymore because I have iCloud and my AuV3 iPad apps are stored on the iPad, I can transfer most of them to the cloud and install  them back on the iPhone. My current iPhone has limited memory. I'll then be using the iPhone Duo that has double the memory then my iPad, I'll give to Anne.

Yesterday was one of those

days where all I did was slept ate, watched TV. I missed the Vancouver Oilers game. I'm sure it was a good game. I "overdosed" on TV. 🤣 

The good news is The Elks had 40,000 fans at Commonwealth. and won 16-28 over the BC lions. 

I was getting a bit concerned when the game was tied at 9. But Elks D and fan support made all the difference. The above graphic says it all.

The Elks game was a tough act to follow, when it came to the Canucks at Rogers Place arena. Oilers won 4-2. A perfect day.

I enjoyed going out to

Scottish Rite as my first time as 32° Mason😀these meetings usually last about 2 hours. Next meeting (in my case) will be in January. 

My collar looks a little sloppy but it's a selfie. 

I'm not getting up at 8am to watch WWE's Crown Jewel. I'll catch the replay later during the day and skim through the highlights.

If the Elks win the game today, they go to the finale. If BC wins, the Lions go to the finale. Pretty straight forward. Anyway, that's all for tonight.

Great time at lodge

last night. For some reason, I thought I paid my lodge dues last week. It was step up night. We did Balloting. It was a full night. When I got home I checked my eTransfer history. Ooops. I made the correction and paid my dues. Tonight (unless Gordon is going to Eastern Star, I'll be heading out to Scottish Rite.

From here on in, no more major spending. I can get out of debt by this time next year. I don't need anything major. I was going to get the iPhon Duo. It's a $40 increase in my monthly plan, but we'll see. I'll need to make that decision when I go get my shots tomorrow. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm wondering

It being the 1st Wednesday of the month, and there is no laptop mainteance? For October and November? Then I get the call from my boss. They are retiring me. They know that my employment with this company is compromising my rent. Based on my line 1500 of my NOA. With each project I do, my rent increases. So that's one reason they are retiring me. The other reason is they want staff that put more then just 1 project in/year. I understand this. They are having the staff Christmas party mid next month. I'm invited and all, but this retirerment came out of left field. I wanted to go out on my terms. At least I get to keep the work laptop when they clean it.

Right after the above Anne received a call from her new dentest. I took the call because she was out at the time. They didn't have a dental hygenist for the date Anne had booked. Could she come in today? I said I'd leave a message. I asked if they do reline dentures, and yes they do. So, I might make an appointment next week. I might have enough in provincial dental insurance. Not saying that reline dentures are a magic cure. 

Lodge tonight. It's going to be great. We're doing some balloting and our remembrance day observance. Friday, its Scottish Rite and I get to go in as a 32 degree. When I get home after that, it's "Friday night Smackdown." Then Saturday its WWE's Crown Jewel and BC/Elks football game. Anyway, that's all for now.

No notice of

laptop maintenance for today. I'm ok if there is no project until the New Year or even Spring. Not sure even for the forseable future. Not that I'm resigning. 

I've got nothing on my plate today. I might mess around with my Anbenic RG35XXSP, on this new monitor. Play around with this for a bit. Not sure. I have some lodge music to upload to my phone, I need to take care of. 

Thursday is Lodge night and after that is AASR and my first appearence as 32° I left behind my Jewel case last time I was there. Anyway, that's all for now.
