We had a bit of a scare

earlier with Anne's job because of the power going off. The incident went and shut her off her job and she couldn't get back in. She did a restart and that got everything up and running. 

I even uploaded $650 from my line of credit to get Anne a budget mini computer for ~ $400 from Amazon. I was relieved when she was able to get back into her job. We doged a bullet there that's for sure. 

With ~ 19 games remaining if the Oilers dont go on a winning streak, we could be last place in the Western conference for a playoff spot, or and out of the playoffs all together. Anyway, that's all for now.

One more shift

and the project is done. Not that it was s bad project. I had trouble with the postal codes. I'd do it again but not for awhile. I hope that's the last project until after labour day. It be great to have 6-8 months off. 

On March 4, 1918, the flu pandemic (often referred to as the Spanish flu) was first observed at Fort Riley, Kansas, when a soldier fell ill.

The pandemic, which lasted nearly a year, is estimated to have killed somewhere between 30 to 50 million people worldwide.

Tonight, I'm at Lodge, Friday AASR. At least I get a ride back either way, so that's ok. The next thing i got coming up is on the 21st of this month. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday on the job

wasn't too bad. We have a beat up source, and wont make our target goal. I hope we're at the end of this project. 

I got my monthly laptop maintenance this week. They just need to have me power it on. I don't need to babysit it. I can go back to bed. 

BC is going to switch to standard time next week. This means that Alberta will be in between 2 different time zones. Back in 2021 the question was asked should Alberta switch to standard time like Saskatchewan? 52% of Albertan's agreed to remain. Anyway that's all for now.

That was nice of my ride to get me a medium size hot chocolate

on the way to officers practice last night. Most of theo fficers couldn't make it, so we had a gab session. We got a lot accomplished in that session as well. I might go to AASR Friday night anyway. I want to ask my AMD contact if I have to ask for a petition or what? Saturday, morning I want to sleep in.

I was watching a Dice Dweeb video (alter ego to Tech Dweeb) as he was doing another video on Shadowdark. Its a D&D style FRPG without the computer. 

Harkens back to the old days when we played Chivalry & Sorcery by Wilf K. Backhaus. Sadly Wilf passed away in 2009. The crew I hung out with, we loved playing this game. Shadowdark is kind of similar to Chivalry & Sorcery. I bought an old GF her copy. She still might even have it. I'll leave a link to the Dice Dweeb video here. 

Practice was yesterday, Lodge Thursday, Maybe AASR Edmonton Valley Friday night. I hope. We'll see what happens this afternoon Anway that's all for now.

My 10-3pm

shift yesterday was productive but to be honest I was struggling during the last hour to stay awake because I had like 2 hours over night. I'll be glad when this project is over. It'll be the last one until after summer.  

WWE's "elimination chamber" event was awesome. I liked the CM Punk match with Fin Balor. 

Balor lost the match but came up to Punk, extended his hand. Punk took it. The ending of the event was 5/5⭐Great event. I have new respect for Fin Balor. 

The Oilers/Sharks game, however was good but the Oilers looked tired. Bouchard (D) has 17 goals? WOW. 3 games in 4 days. Anyway, that's all for now.

The idea was to

get to bed about 3am and then get as much sleep as I canmaybe 4 hours. That failed. RLS wasn't an issue. I think I had too much sleep the day before.  

I was troubled by a loss Friday. Our first ever Lodge master, who intiated me into the Masonic fraternity 2002, passed away Friday. Our lodge is a merger of 2 other York Rite lodges. 

Dan took a fall down some stairs in his home and that ended him up in the University hospital for a long time. So this troubled my sleep as well as having too much sleep the day before. To add insult to injury I have a 5 hour shift ahead of me today.

All that in mind, and I want to catch the last 2 hours of this afternoon's Oilers game, and WWE elimination chamber is on Netflix at 5pm. Hopefull I can go back to bed about 6am for a few hours. Anyway, that's all for now.
