We're getting our

insurance sorted out because we have this under a 2 bedroom but there are 2 different mailing adresses. Our Insurance provider doesn't get what we mean. We should just give them 1 adress, not two. Anne is confusing the insurance company. 

On top of all of this I have a mild toothache from a broken tooth that is letting me know, its causing me some grief. The insurance company needs to know this is one lease, not 2.

The good new is my new compression stocking vendor, is setting up account to order a new pair, I can hopefully get them sometime this month.


So much for my prediction but Artemis 2 was launched at ~ 4:30pm EST. Mission seems to be going smoothy.

Tonight it's part 2 of the Rose Croix for my 17 & 18° degrees. This will be it until October. We're looking good. Anyway, that's all for now.

Today is my

Rose Croix day. My ride (Eric) said he would pick me up about 5:45-6pm. It only takes half an hour to drive out to where we need to go. I'll be calling him about 4pm to make sure he's ok to pick me up later this afternoon. 

I just hope there is no snags at his end and it's 6:15pm, and no Eric. That's the worse case scenario. "I'll take a ride home, if that's ok." I'm going to set things up with Uber when I get up today. Just in case. Getting to the meetings is no problem because Gordan said he'll drive me. there and back.

Artimis 2 is "set to launch" today, but I firmly believe it won't leave the launchpad. Probably due to weather. Or some other anomaly. 

Our Amazon order is suposed to come in today. I hope it's before I head out the door for Eric or Uber. Anyway, that's all for now.

Eric was nice enough to drive me back

last month from Lodge of Perfection. I got his number from Cap City list of officers. He said he would be going for both nights and he will pick me up. If he isn't here by 6:30, he forgot. I'll call a cab out there. Its about 14k out. I'm sure he wont forget.

The lead pencil with an attached eraser was patented (1858).
It's said that the average pencil can write a continuous line for 35 miles. In what became known as Seward's Folly

If everything works out ok for Wednesday/Thursday I'll have my 15th, 16th, 17th, & 18th degree. Anyway, that's all for now.

I have 2 events

happening this week, with AASR. It's just 2 nights. I'm looking forward to it. Part 2 of 3 ending in October.

Yesterday was International Piano day. Usually the 88th day of the year, because there are 88 keys on a piano. With one hand I can do a Major C scale, and I know the difference between a Major and a minor key and the knotes on a piano keyboard.

But that's about it. I even have the Arturia 25 key minilab 3 midi keyboard controler but I want to get the new Arturia Key Step 37 mk2 MIDI Controller, eventually. @ cad $249, for what it can do, it's a good deal. I might go pick it up this week at Long & McQuade and bring my minilab 3 as a Trade in. 

Anne received her Amazon order yesterday. Mine is expected to come in Wednesday. Anyway, other then the above, not much else is going on this week. I'm feeling prfetty good about my week ahead. Anyway, that's all for now.

Oilers were playing at Rogers place arena on a rare Saturday afternoon game @ 1pm. I missed the first hlaf of the first period. Oilers won 4-2, scoring in an empty net.

On this date in 1979 at 4:00 AM, the most significant accident in the history of the U.S. nuclear power industry occurred when a pressure valve in the Unit-2 reactor at Three Mile Island failed to close. Cooling water, contaminated with radiation, drained from the open valve into adjoining buildings, and the core began to dangerously overheat.

Wednesday/Thursday, I'll be at the Al Shamal building. It's Rose Croix night. One more section after this in October. Anyway, that's all for now. 

 

I had an easy

day today. This morning I had an Amazon order. Two usb 3 port hubs, 3 usb c/c cables & 2 4 pack usb-3 usb C adapters. Just 3 small items, my $75 order should be arriving this weekend.  

The c to c are 6 feet. I wanted 1o foot ones but they were not Apple MFi certified. The USB 3 Hub extender wikk give me more ports on my computer. 

Yesterday, I used the Windows game bar screen recorder, (it's free) to record a 20 minute video. Works really good. Anyway, that's all for now.

We received some snow in the city

 yesterday. Not sure how much but the event lasted unto 3pm. There were no horor stories in reguards to the afternoon commute. 

On this date in 1655, Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens discovere Titan, the largest moon of Saturn. In recent years, the orange moon, which is bigger than the planet Mercury, has been found to have lakes of hydrocarbons. Nasa is still going with the April first Artimis 2 launch. Sounds like an April fools joke to me.

Unless things change, I'm out of here at 5pm for Chapter. Should be a good night. Anne sugested I wear my boots but I don't need my cleats. I'm a little aprehencive, due to Sunday's practice mishap. Anyway, that's all for now.
