I don't mind Fl. Studio

but I want to try something different. I've been hearing a lot about Personus. Now Fender Studio Pro 8.  This thing is a beast. It has Tonality stem separation, its got a cleaner work flow. I even like the Impact One Drum machine.  For $289, it's a pretty good idea. I might pick it up this week put it on my account at Long & McQuade. We'll see, As far as I know its just a licnese and a USB stick. 


This week, the plan is too pick up the software then go get my compression stockings. And if there is time visit with that Doctor. I have Monday night Raw, tomorrow night, Elks Thursday and Smackdown Friday. Looks like a good week.

We had an intense thunder lightning storm last night. Lots of rain. I think this is the most rain we've had in July for a long time. Also, our local weather looks like its going back to the mid 20's. Anyway, that's all for now.

It's been so hot

around here and my restless leg Syndrom, has affected my days. No energy to do anything. I did however, make a few phone calls, to ask the pharmacy to hold my stockings until next week. I paid for them over the phone. Also I called the registry about the Government ID.

The highlight of my week was watching the Elks win over the Riders. If anyone can miss a 57 yard field goal for a 2 point lead its the Elks on a critical game.


As I write this, we're getting a nice thunder storm. Torents of rain Anyway that's all for now.

I'm thinking about heading out

I called the vendor about my compression stockings. I asked if I could pick them up next week when the weather would be a bit more comfortable, instead of this +29°-+30°C, if I could pay for said stockings over the phone. I did, and I can come pick them up anytime. Excellent. Weather next week is forecast to be about +22-24°C.


Elks Win over the BC Lions last week, brought the Green & Gold to first place in the West for week 7. I don't know if the CFL keeps win loss stats for each week. Would be interesting to know. 

I had a nice relaxing day. The only issue with the compression stocking vendor is they don't deliver. Anyway, that's all for now.

My plan is to get to the

Alberta register, Capilano Mall location and update the new Government ID. Its $54, which isn;t to bad. They close at 6pm. Also my compression stockings are ready for pickup at a nearby location. Also, I found a medical clinic nearby. I spoke with them earlier. One bus ride there and back. Good deal. 

I checked to see if my Anbernic RG35XXSP came with a micro sd card, that contained the system. it did. 

I forgot to do some research to see if the console took micro or mini HDMI so the games can output to the monitor. I have a Micro but not a mini. I'll need one of them as well, and I'll be placing that order today, and the BT earbuds. Should be about $60.

I'm going to need the ear pods so I can connect them to my iPhone. Reason so I can have some ambient music to aid in my sleep apnea. I think I have Central Sleep Apnea CSA due to my scoliosis. This less common type occurs when the brain fails to send the proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. In CSA, the airway is not physically blocked; rather, the body makes no effort to breathe for brief periods.

I haven't played around with my

Anbernic RG35XXSP console yet. I hope to sometime today. I'm not going to Install MuOS at the moment. 

I think what I'm going to do this week is to get the updated Alberta ID at the registry over here by Capilano mall and then go to the clinic across the street on Terrace Road. I think I have a yeast infection. At least that's what Anne tells me. I'm hoping at the clinic I can get an OTC script for that, if its covered by Alberta seniors. I also need to ask about my sleep apnea and RLS.

I've been doing some initial research and I'd like to get into Bhakti yoga. I've been doing Pranayama (breath yoga) recently to help me focus. I think I'd like to get into Raja yoga. I had a friend (Richard) about 45 years doing Raja. We didn't have You Tube at the time. Anyway, that's all for now.

I enjoyed Smackdown

last night. As for the CFL Lion's/Elks game, it was quite the roller coaster ride. BC got off to a good start 7-3 but we pulled ahead and took the lead all night. Our D was the difference maker. Especially when in the last minute when the Lions had the ball 17-19. Lions needed a field goal to win 20-19. Our D had the Lions turnover on downs. Elks hadn't been 5-1 since before Jason Moss was coach. Elks are #1 in the West. 

July 17, 1933, pilot Douglas "Wrong Way" Corrigan took off on a flight 

from New York to California, but ended up flying overseas to Ireland, due to what he claimed was a navigational error.

If I'm up in time, I'm going to watch WWE "Main event" It's on at 6pm 11am Mountain time on Netflix & the WWE Youtube channel. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm making some learning

headway with MS Word. Still haven't figured out how to program tabs or indents yet. 

I bought a Neewer teleprompter before we moved in here but it wasn't working for me. I know about online prompters that but they were subscription heavy dollar wise. The main appeal these online prompters have is they have an overlay feature. Just write the script, figure out font etc and read from the computer with the app/subject behind the transparrent script. 

Great for making eye contact with the audiance. Part of my job for the last 10 years has been reading from a script. I was kind of up against the clock as well. Not so with these. Yesterday I discovered an open source teleprompter that has no watermark, not time or word count. Aparently. I hope to do a test run on this over the weekend. This post segment has nothing to do with Trump.

Busy day today,I have Smackdown on at 6pm, and the Elks at 7pm. I can pick up where I left off on Smackdown after dinner and the news. Anyway, that's all for now.
