Not a lot going on for today

except laptop maintenance at 10am this morning. In the email reminder, they always say, it's from 10-3pm but it's been my experience, that tech support usualy is in and out of my laptop by noon. I shut it down and go back to bed. 

Yesterday I was researching the idea of upgrading my computer. Google told me all I need is an mATX mother board and appropiate CPU and uses DDR4 Ram. I recall buying 4 sicks 16Gb each and I paid about $300. Today that same Ram is about $1,600. Data farms are driving up the costof Ram. Ai and Bit coin I believe are the 2 main villains in the rising cost of tech. I have 64 Gb of Ram on my machine here. In my case because I like Intel, I'd need an LGA 1700 board. Most of these come with. 

Not much going on this week either. I have the Elks Ottawa game going on, tomorrow, Friday night Smackdown. BoB Saturday. Lets see if Don will make an appearence. If talking smack behind his back draws him out the plan worked. Anyway, that's all for now I can't wait for when the valley line West comes on line so I can wander into Tuesday night Bible study and Peoples church. Anyway, that's all for now.

We're about to get some warmer weather this week

weather this week as of today actually. Suposed to be around +26°C. We got some tall leafy trees that shade us well here. 

Today I'm pulling the trigger on the Akai MPC 27 keys g2. It's an expensive piece of gear. It's main screen can sync up from the software on the device and pair with the software on my computer. It can sample audio from my iPad as well.

I'll be at Momentum Saturday. Lets see if your going to be there Don. I've a feeling you wont, because your a coward. You done me dirty and you know it. I'm lauging because I'm inside your head diaper Don. lol. Anyway, that's all for now.

All 3 games of

heroes of might and magic, 3 of the Ultima games 1-3, were on sale for $31. I pulled the trigger. There were a few stop starts in the first HMM game. I'll get more into it today, since I don't have a lot going on. 

Yesterday I watched the Elks play BC Lions in Kelowna BC of all places. Elks brought their 3-0 to Kelowna. Lions were 0-3. Lions lost to Calgary in Kelowna last weekend.

Plus they had a whole week to practice on a field We never played on. We we're handed our first loss 24-42. The Lions were desperate for a win. We play Ottawa, Thursday 7pm. Should be a good one. 

Not much ia going on this week. I look forward to BabaLon's talk each morning. Tomorrow night is wrestling. I need to visit the clinic as I have some jock itch I'm dealling with, and i need a family Doctor anyway for AADL. Anyway, that's all for now.

Last night's past masters meeting

was really good. I didn't have anything to eat but the lava cake and a diet cola. We covered a lot of business, which obviously I cant get into here. Also, sticking with Masonry, I'm almost ready to resume the petition to Cryptic rite. They only meet 4 times a year and its an expansin of what I'm already into. 

I'm in the middle of installing Uvi's Digital Synsations Vol. 2 and Kawai vintage Legacy. Cant wait to get into it. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on Akai MPC 37 g2. It's a 1 year annual subscription. 

Tonight its Smackdown, and Saturday BC Lions/Commonwealth. Can we make it 4 in a row? I doubt it. The Fajardo/Rankin connection doesn't want to slow down. Anyway, that's all for now.

Depending on the source

but CTV weather, claims we have had 262mm of rain in June. This is a record set in 1914. 

Not sure when Nathan is picking me up for our IPM dinner. At least 9 of us are going. Or said we're going to go. We're occupying an undisclosed room. Kind of like we did last year. But this is just for immediate past masters. That being me 😀 

I have my eye at the MPC 37 keys G2. I'm about ready to pull the trigger and put it on my account. The software of the G2 is also on the desktop. So what I'm doing on the MPC, displays on the desktop, as I can record it using OBS. Slick. The price is about as much as my computer. It will be paid off in 1 year. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Anne & I don't nrmally

go out on our monthly outing on a Sunday. Mainly because ETS is slow. Anne wanted to try the downtown Denny's location. So we left about 5:30pm to the Stratherean LRT for city centre mall. Navaigating the homeless, Anne suggested we walk to Denny's since I had my walker. Sure. We just need to get to 104th Ave. She was getting frustrated and asked if we could order a cab. Sure. Because of LRT constraction, it cost us $10. No big deal.

Anne doesn't like going because it cuts in her time to connect with family at 8pm on a Sunday. I really like Denny's downtown. I had the 4 sausages, 2 eggs (medium) cubbed hashbrowns. Anne had something similar. It was closing in on 7:15pm. I called us a cab, which cost only $15 to our place. We made it just in time for Anne's Facetime call from her sister. Anyway, that's all for now.

Stll in recovery mode

from the stomach virus I had 2 days ago, early Wednesday morning. I'm about 80% recovered. Anne gave me some lemon relief tea, and that helped me go to sleep right away. 

Anne wants to try that "Eleven eleven" resturaunt. I said during World Cup it's going to be like a hornets nest in there. Especially with Canada in the mix. After July 19th would be better. 

I'm still torn from getting Omnisphere 3 or UVI Sonic Pass. I might just still stick with Omnisphere 3, and UVI next year. I can wait. I don't like paying $30/month. Almost as much as my cell phone plan. Not only that but I'd need an external hard drive to run UVI. Anyway, that's all for now.
