Not much going on

around here. Even my Facebook page has been lacking in output lately. Other then last Thursday, Lodge was about the only interesging thing going on. Lately, it's been Elks football and hockey. 

On this date in 1994, a popcorn container was filled with approximately 6,619 cubic feet of popped corn. 

The box was over 39 feet long, 20 feet wide and 8 feet tall. Corny, but true. On June 11, 

I'm going to call this Dissability Tax credit service. See what they can do for a 73 year old man with scoliosis, with a metal rod in his spine, and CVI. My family Doctor would not sign off on AISH for me but my brother Mike is on AISH for the same thing. I just had an exray in April, so if they need that, I can get that easy enough. Anyway, that's all for now.

My sleep patterns

have been more or less regular but I can only get 5-6 hours spread over the course of 2 episodes. I'm usually in bed by 5:30am and up by 9am, and tired again by 11:30, back to bed and up at about 2:30pm. This has been going on from the time we moved in here. RLS plays a main part in it, and maybe watching too much video the last 2 hours before bed. Not a good idea. 

On my plate today is BabaLon's talk this morning before bed (the 2nd time) Monday night Raw, and I'll be following the Canes/Vegas game as well.

In all of that, I'll get my 3100 steps in. I still haven't heard back from AADL about funding for my walker. It's not like I'm scaming the Government due to a "wrist injury" and driving my adapted son to and from school everyday and going on cross province road trips in the summer. I'm describing somebody else obviously. Anyway, that's all for now. 

My iPad battery

lasted from 5:30-10pm but my USB A-C cable did the job. Next time, I'll bring my power bank. I was wiped out by the time I got in at 11:30pm. It was a great evening. 

I'm looking forward to the Elks/Red blacks game in Ottawa. It's a 5pm start. Our first real regular season game. Elks are 1/1 preseason. 

It was expected but we got a fire alarm encore this morning. This time to test the elevators. The noise was worse then before. It lasted for about 20 minutes. We're done until this time next year Anyway, that's all for now. 

My window time line is tight

is tight this afternoon. At least after this evening, my summer begins. No AAFM. I'm keeping my summer gatherings down to a minimum. Just out with Anne once a month and Momentum end of June. In theory. 

Today is International Hug Your Cat Day is celebrated annually on June 4 (though sometimes also observed on May 30). 

It is a special holiday dedicated to celebrating the bond between humans and their feline friends by pampering them with extra cuddles, treats, and love. Buster (black) Skipy grey June 1st 2026

Smackdown (I think) is in Paris tomorrow night, so I can watch that anytime. This weekend should be easy going. I hope. Anyway, that's all for now.

I've got laptop maintenance as

IT is at it this morning, so I just need to power it up and let them log in remotely.

 I finally got an update on my leg infection referral! Back in April, I asked the doctor for a referral to the South Side Primary Care Network (PCN). They called a few weeks later asking for a $100 visit fee, which didn't seem right to me so I held off. Then this afternoon, I got a voicemail from the Urgent Care clinic near Coliseum Station. The doctor actually arranged a referral for me at the Foot Institute instead. I'll need to look into that soon.

On the bright side, the fire alarm inspectors are finally done here. Yesterday was brutal—the testing is building-wide, so we had to hear every single suite's smoke detector go off. I was so exhausted by 1:00 PM that I went straight back to bed. It is finally going to be quiet around here! Anyway, that’s all for now.

The main story

of the day here was the fire alarm tester. Our visit was  about 1:30pm. The thing is, we and everybody else here's the same thing. So thisone guy has a pole, cups the alarm with this pole to set it off, and uses a spray of some kind that shuts it down. For each suite. And that's for both buildings. We have one more day of it. "Good news" is they finish at 3pm. Thank God! 

We had another full rain day in the city. We had about a month's rain in 2 days. I like the rain, but I think that should be it for this week. Maybe.

Not only do I had yesterday early, but today more of the same and Tuesday its laptop morning maintenance. At least I can go back to bed. Thursday Lodge, Friday AARC. Then I'm off! I might want to go to "Ye Old Craft" next Saturday. It's a Saturday morning lodge. I can go get some Tim's before that, and file in. There's a Tim Hortons further East along 118th Ave. Anyway, that's all for now.

The highllight of yesterday

was watcing WWE "Clash in Italy." It was shorter then "Smackdown." It was a good crowd in Turin Italy. 

Today was a rain day. Here in Strathern we received about 25mm of rain during the day,

which is considered a lot of rain for this part of the city. It was a slow day, but I needed this.

I've got 2 outings this week: Lodge and AASR Friday. Other then that, I'm just taking it easy. I've got a couple of projects I'm doing here at home. 

Also, today & tomorrow, managment, will be testing suite fire alarms. One at a time. This building and the connector building. Anyway, that's all for now.
