This week, besides the

obvious, I have Monday night RAW to watch this evening, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday the big day. 

On the CTV National, we were watching a news news story about how Canadian Doctors are leaving Canada because of being bogged down in paper work. I think that's part of the story. The average Canadian Doctor is being bogged down with unessecary after hour paper work. I read where the average Doctor in Canada, is being bombarded by this red tape paper work. About 90% of Canadian Doctors are stressed out and burned out. If this administrative work was eliminated, it would free up the equivalent of 9,000 full-time physicians. In this country. Its called "Red tape diseas." The other issues is the baby boomer generation. Most of us (me included) are in care centers like this. Plus add immigration to the mix and yikes. Scarry stuff.

I'm hoping for a work schedule for after the family day next weekend. If I can get at least 2 weeks work, I'd be happy with that. Anyway, that's all for now.

 

We have another

project that starts on the 11th. I'll be with AASR for those 4 days. Best I can do is join the crew after Family day. If I can get 10 days out of work for that, then this would be good. 

On this day in 1812, the New Madrid earthquake hit. At a magnitude estimated to be 8.2, it was the largest recorded earthquake in the contiguous United States. The town of New Madrid, Missouri was destroyed, and the Mississippi River was said to run backward for several hours. 

The fellow that does our tax filing says that CRA has all the T4's on line. I've done this once but I got things confused with the bank as a sign in partner and my login credentials. It's just like signing up to any other online service. This is great because I can get my 2025 NOA from my account page and email that to the office for my rent for this year. Anyway, that's all for now.  

Anne made me

a nice meat loaf, baked potato, brown beans dinner last night. Delish. She's watching a recording of the opening of the 2026 Olympics.

I knew this was going to happen: The January 2026 North American winter storm delayed preparations for the launch. A wet dress rehearsal of the countdown

occurred February 2. Following the test, NASA announced that the launch would be postponed to March 2026 due to a liquid hydrogen leak that occurred during the simulated countdown. Never say never but I doubt Artimis 2 will happen. 

I was going out to Band of Brothers today, but I was out 2 times this week and next week I'm out 4 times, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday am for a 4 day seminar. More on that later. Anyway that's all for now.

We had a great

turnout at Lodge last night, allthough it was a late one. I was home shortly before 11pm. A day off today. I might got out to Band of Brothers Saturday morning though. We'll see.

Just took this photo over looking the roof of the main floor lounge. Two days ago, this was covered in snow. Local meteorologist's are calling for a cooling trend near the end of next week that could take us beyond Valintines day and into the end of the month. 

As for tonight, its "Smackdown".  Anyway, that's all for now.

I don't have much info

on the Canada Groceries & essentials bennift (CGEB) This is to replace the GST. It basically breaks down to about $80/month over the course of a year. It takes place in June. Once we file of course. 

It was the coldest of all days in North America on this date in 1947, when the temperature dropped to 81 degrees below zero Fahrenheit in Snag, Yukon. It was so cold that weather observer Gordon Toole's exhaled breath turned to icy powder as it hit the ground. And in 1982, John Sharples of England finished a 371-hour marathon of disco dancing

Today I need to get out of here before noon, for Bonnie Doon Mall, Shoppers Drug Mart, to get my RSV shot, insulin. Then a haircut, and food court/lotto ticket and home. Lets see how that goes. Anyway, that's all for now.

2 days into our fight

I feel we're in the eye of the hurricane moment. Or the pause before the climax of the story. I don't know why she's behaving this way. It's not like I did anything bad. Besides, I don't know how long I'm going to remain in AASR. 

The building they are in has been sold. AASR etc, could remain in the building as new ownership might just keep it as is. Or maybe new ownership wants to demo the building, rezone the land for housing. Where would AASR go? If it's one of the 3 lodges in the city, fine. I might stay. If they decide to go to a knew location, I'm gone. If it's the status quo I might just kick the tires one section/year, see how it goes and my place in AASR. All kinds of options here. In the end I might just stick with my craft lodge and call it a day. I don't know yet. 

The other option and if this defines our marriage (I don't see that happening,) where I'm living they have a path (for low income seniors like me) with limited mobility and in bad shape (again like me) to move into a lodge set up 3 meal/day. Still independant living and I can have $300/month spending, I'd sign a "no fault divorce" in a flash. Especially if the transition was easy. I'd hate to lose Anne but the above would be a worst case scenario. Maybe I'm getting to personal here, IDK. But nobody reads this anyway. Anyway, that's all for now.   

Right now Anne is all sour and bitter at me

because I joined Scottish Rite Masonry, and after the initial degrees, I'm out 3 nights in a month. AASR will get me my 32°. Right now I'm public enemy no.1 for Anne. It's not like I'm out gambling or in the bar a couple times/week or chasing after women. This will blow over soon. She's just pissed because I was out Friday and now out last night at prictice. Half the time she's out shopping or sleeping. 

I think today or tomorrow, I'm out to get my RSV shot and a haircut and maybe a bite to eat at the food court, and home. It'll be one of these days. Tonight is the fallout of Saturday's Royal Rumble Anyway, that's all for now.
