Mom passed away back in

 2000 AD just days before Anne and I got married. Today would have been her birthday. Out of all 5 of us kids, I was her oldest. Rick, a few years younger then me, died in about 2005, in South America. Two years a after we got married I joined my lodge.

All of my T4's are in. We're just waiting for one of Anne's. Then we can file. No further info other then that.

Anne was out doing some shopping and tried Lingan. She brought back a take out. Easy to get to right off the LRT behind Rogers place. She wan'ts to go back in April. Reviews for Lingan are mostly good. Anyway, that's all for now.

We had a bit of a scare

earlier with Anne's job because of the power going off. The incident went and shut her off her job and she couldn't get back in. She did a restart and that got everything up and running. 

I even uploaded $650 from my line of credit to get Anne a budget mini computer for ~ $400 from Amazon. I was relieved when she was able to get back into her job. We doged a bullet there that's for sure. 

With ~ 19 games remaining if the Oilers dont go on a winning streak, we could be last place in the Western conference for a playoff spot, or and out of the playoffs all together. Anyway, that's all for now.

One more shift

and the project is done. Not that it was s bad project. I had trouble with the postal codes. I'd do it again but not for awhile. I hope that's the last project until after labour day. It be great to have 6-8 months off. 

On March 4, 1918, the flu pandemic (often referred to as the Spanish flu) was first observed at Fort Riley, Kansas, when a soldier fell ill.

The pandemic, which lasted nearly a year, is estimated to have killed somewhere between 30 to 50 million people worldwide.

Tonight, I'm at Lodge, Friday AASR. At least I get a ride back either way, so that's ok. The next thing i got coming up is on the 21st of this month. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday on the job

wasn't too bad. We have a beat up source, and wont make our target goal. I hope we're at the end of this project. 

I got my monthly laptop maintenance this week. They just need to have me power it on. I don't need to babysit it. I can go back to bed. 

BC is going to switch to standard time next week. This means that Alberta will be in between 2 different time zones. Back in 2021 the question was asked should Alberta switch to standard time like Saskatchewan? 52% of Albertan's agreed to remain. Anyway that's all for now.

That was nice of my ride to get me a medium size hot chocolate

on the way to officers practice last night. Most of theo fficers couldn't make it, so we had a gab session. We got a lot accomplished in that session as well. I might go to AASR Friday night anyway. I want to ask my AMD contact if I have to ask for a petition or what? Saturday, morning I want to sleep in.

I was watching a Dice Dweeb video (alter ego to Tech Dweeb) as he was doing another video on Shadowdark. Its a D&D style FRPG without the computer. 

Harkens back to the old days when we played Chivalry & Sorcery by Wilf K. Backhaus. Sadly Wilf passed away in 2009. The crew I hung out with, we loved playing this game. Shadowdark is kind of similar to Chivalry & Sorcery. I bought an old GF her copy. She still might even have it. I'll leave a link to the Dice Dweeb video here. 

Practice was yesterday, Lodge Thursday, Maybe AASR Edmonton Valley Friday night. I hope. We'll see what happens this afternoon Anway that's all for now.

My 10-3pm

shift yesterday was productive but to be honest I was struggling during the last hour to stay awake because I had like 2 hours over night. I'll be glad when this project is over. It'll be the last one until after summer.  

WWE's "elimination chamber" event was awesome. I liked the CM Punk match with Fin Balor. 

Balor lost the match but came up to Punk, extended his hand. Punk took it. The ending of the event was 5/5⭐Great event. I have new respect for Fin Balor. 

The Oilers/Sharks game, however was good but the Oilers looked tired. Bouchard (D) has 17 goals? WOW. 3 games in 4 days. Anyway, that's all for now.
