Anne & I are going on another outing

today, because it's her birthday today. I'll disclose where we went in tomorrow's blog post.

I bought this USB multi port hub 2 years ago, but haven't found a use to use it until now

I've had the Elgato green screen availible, but I haven't had time to set it up. That's going to be my project this week. What's cool about this hub is it has 5 USB 3 ports. I'm using 1 of them now. My green screen lights (Ulanzi) need to be powered by USB. My Sodtware is OBS. It's a pretty straight forward process. I just need to make sure I have enough power in the lights.. 

This week it's out with Anne today, and Wrestling, tomorrow night Oilers hockey on TV, Wednesday night open, Thursday Oilers hockey, Friday Smackdown, Saturday after breakfast if all goes well, I'll be seeing a certain blonde, if the cover story holds water. It's been 8 years. Wow. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday many of my brother went

to attend Route 99 Diner in Mill creek not far away from us. Anne and I are going to go Monday. Also Warp 1 is on our way, as I'd like to pop in and take a look around. I haven;t seen the Fantastic four movie. Warp 1 has a nice collection of T-shirts. Maybe they have one from the movie.

On this date in 1950, (yesterday) the FBI unveiled the first installment of the '10 Most Wanted' list. Aimed at raising awareness of the bureau's most challenging cases, several fugitives have appeared on the list over the last 70+ years. Serial killers Andrew Cunanan and Ted Bundy as well as James Earl Ray, the assassin of Martin Luther King Jr. are some of the more notable names that appeared on the list over the years.

Still nursing my cold. Gone are the waterey eyes, coughing but I still have the congestion. Anyway, that's all for now.

Sadly I never made

it to Strathcona 77 because of the cold. I hope there was a good contingent of us from #167. I didn't feel comfortable, going due to the cold I have and exposing that to everyone else. I stayed home and watch Smackdown and followed the Oilers/Saint Louis game.

This was on the Coast 2 Coast channel back in 1997, when I first began to listen to Coast to Coast. I rememer the program. It was on the night of March 13, 1997 that the 'Phoenix Lights' were seen in the night skies over Phoenix and beyond. This huge triangular formation of lights was reported by countless witnesses, some who called in to Art Bell that night. Gov. Fife Symington, who initially made fun of the incident, belatedly publicly admitted he, too, saw the lights. Hard ro believe it was almost 30 years ago. I was in my early 40's. wow.

For the first 2 periods there was no scoring. Looked like I wasn't going to miss much. I was enjoying Smackdown so much when I checked again it was 2-0 Oilers. Then tied at 2. In OT Saint Louis won in OT. The ending of Smackdown was jaw dropping. Pretty amazing. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday was our

1st year anniversary living here. Our weather was a lot better but not by much. I wish we had better internet, but otherwize everything else is good

On March 12, 1894, the first bottles of Coca-Cola were sold. 

             

Invented by an Atlanta pharmacist, the originalformula included lime, cinnamon, and coca leaves.

This cold is taking it's tole in me. So far it's bark is worse the it's bite Anyway, that's all for now.

 

Anne ventured off

to check out cat cafe. I cautioned her about Amway and MLM approaches. They love hanging out in coffee shops in an effort to "Show the plan." 

Tonight the boys are in Dallas. This 2 steps forward and 1 step back isn't doing us any favours. 

Nothing in my mail box downstairs. We're still expecting Anne's OAS so we can file. I have yet to hear anything from an email I sent our tax guy a few days ago. If he doesn't want to help out there is a workshop that comes here. When, I don't know. It's worth checking out. Anyway that's all for now. 

We headed out of here

 ~ 4:30pm yesterday afternoon. It was a bit on the cool side of ~ +2°C but not bad. We got the bus to Strathern LRT not far away from here and took the valley line to Davis station, the elevator to main. Our #6 was right there. We got to the McDonalds at Calgary Trail ~ 4:30pm. The Sawmill is right across the street to the Superstore. There were some icy spots heading South to The Sawmill. We ordered. Anne ordered the prime rib, I got a burger. Very vibe is similar to Earls.

The fries were julian cut and a glass of pop not in the photo. The burger was ok. We had an idea what the burger ould cost. Sure enough $30 for the above. Ten years ago, I could get a Wendy's "Baconator,+ large fries for $15 including pop. Anne's prime rib was over cooked and she had to have them take it back for another. She paid $50 including the tip. We won't go back.

Anne took the above photo of me. After paying our bill.  I'm 73 years old here. Anne wanted to pop in to Superstore to get us some desert.  I waited at the bus stop in front of the liqor store. I should have thought about buying myself a case of beer to take home. Rats. I had half an hour wait for Anne to go in and grab a case. 

While waiting for Anne is when I should have got a case of beer. Opportunity lossed. We ended up at home at 8pm, sharp. Anne said she really likes this Superstore. 2 busses and she's home. It was a good outing. We had a few flare ups but we survived. Anyway, that's all for now.

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.
