Last night Anne decided to
take a dry run, or to reconnoiter a trip to Mill Woods Tims at Main Street mall. She said the difference between the Mill Woods location and Corona Station Mill woods, is like 30 minutes. That's actually pretty good. if we get on that Drive Happiness program, she won't need to worry about that any more. Its a flat rate, not billed like cab. This would be great to take me to Al Shmal.
I was watching this bit on local news that the South East Seniors Association (Holyrood) has a lot of programs.
Yesterday afternoon I got this free App called Pendulum. It not only works with iPhone/iPad but also works on the desktop. Its a genreative. Create mesmerizing pendulum music! Arrange multiple pendulums, make unique rhythms and melodies, and enjoy the harmony of physics and aesthetics. To unlock the AuV3 version for AUM is less then $2.00. Anyway, that's all for now.

One of the most
Its not so much Microsoft but I'm getting to the point that my work is cutting into my rent. The Alberta Government claws back what I make. Not just that, but my energy level is dropping. I'm lucky I get 5
hours of sleep over 2 sessions. A 5 hour shift on this old man just about wipes me out. I got one more work project in me and that's just going to be 3 days/week, 3 hour days. I'll make an announcement at the Christmass staff party and bring my work laptop.
Friday night I have my monthly Scottish Rite to go to, and after that Smackdown rewind when I get home. Saturday is the Calgary/Elks labour day classic rematch. Looks like a nice week and weekend shaping up. Anyway, that's all for now.

I have some memories
Yesterday's Elks at Calgary CFL game, started out slow for the Green & Gold. Keep in mind Elks had 16 days off, and were out of sync the first half. First Quarter was 0-4 Stamps. 2nd Q 14-7 Stamps. Did that long layover do us in? 3rd Q 211-14 4th Q Elks got 17 points. Elks ended up winning 31-28. Elks Host the Stamps again Saturday 5pm. Looking forward to that one.

WWE's Sunday night main
Saturday, September 5, 2026
Sorry I haven't been posting
lately. It's been an interesting couple of days. Lodge last night was "educational" from my POV. Apparently, the DDGM does not have officers, it's the District Grand Master that has appointed officers. I think the more Masonic bodies I belong to will get me noticed more often. Up next Cryptic Rite. Part of Royal Arch system.
Cant think of a graphic to add to this post. Other then that not much going on this weekend, thank God. Although anything can happen at anytime. Expect the unexpected. Anyway that's all for now.

I slept for much of the
afternoon yesterday and after dinner, I ended up watching Monday night Raw, which was over by 7:45pm. What with WWE's Main event Sunday is probably why the abreivated show last night. IDK.
Over 2 sessions I had just over 7 hours of sleep yesterday. That was aided by a Malatonin assist. But a bite to eat
and a massage of my lower legs before bed helped to keep the RLS wolves at bay
Right now, I'm sipping my "sleep tea" as Anne calls it, a bit of You Tube, up out of the chair to get my steps. I usually like to do 1500 steps before bed, and minimum of 2k steps per day. Anyway, that's all for now.
