but it got canceled due to illness of some kind, so I'm home tonight. We're back on July 4th 4pm. it looks like I have a night off to watch the Esks/Winnipeg CFL game. Can we go 3-0?
The idea was to do a Live Stream but with the construction, it just wasn't in the cards. Too much noise. Hopefully I can attempt one tonight since my meeting later this afternoon fell through. Anyway, that's all for now.
Welcome to my Blog. Anne and I live here in Clareview Edmonton Alberta, with our 2 cats etc. This blog is about my life, rants, politics, books, music production, Sports, some gaming, Freemasonry and some WTF-ish moments that give me pause.

Happy Tuesday its here at last
and I'm ok with that.
Yesterday I had a good day chatting on Facebook with friends. I had most of the day by myself even though Anne was off work. I did internet stuff, did some reading writing in my diary, answering email and writing a drum line for my drum and bass track.
Still no word on going back to work. I think I'm done for the summer. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not that its been a overly busy
week, but it is the summer. My blogging output has been lax for that reason. Even though work has slowed down to a crawl, I'm kept busy. I'm thinking there is one more project left to do before we move the office to the downtown core.
Today, I'm doing stuff like Facebook, You Tube, answering email before wrestling. WWE has they "Stomping grounds" ppv coming on soon this afternoon. Looks like there will be no walking this evening. I'll make up for it on Monday.
Honest to God this has been one of the coldest month's for June I've ever seen here in all my 40 years of living here in the city. The average temperature is +17*C. That's pretty cold for this time of year. At least we don't have smoke, yet. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm on Facebook pretty much
everyday it seems but not enough to expand ideas or things going on like I can here. Mostly I'm posting image meme's ripping them off other Fb pages. I'm posting between 6-10 meme's/day and chatting with my family and friends in that regard. Now that I'm retired and with more time then money I can have more time with my Blog and You Tube channel.
Last night I went out on my 2K walk. I do this 3 times/week while the weather is nice. Then until that first snow, I'm out for my walk, then I'll be ready to get that club membership. A 2km walk will take me roughly about an hour and a half. When junior soccer games take place between the park and the church, I just got to be careful of incoming soccer balls. I might need to plan another route or go later in the day.
There's a glimmer of hope that there might be work this week but since I'm out to the dentist with my wife Tuesday, Wednesday I'll try and fill out an ei claim. I'm not sure how many hours I have and if there is time I might go get an account opened up for Omnisphere. Thursday night I have my bank appointment Friday I'm following the Eskimo game, Saturday is my morning prayer group. Anyway, that's all for today.

Yesterday I'm heading over to
Shoppers Drug mart across the street to cash in my free 6/49 lottery ticket for a free play. Last nights draw was for $30m. I got 2 black jack scratch n' win cards and I won $10! So I had a pretty decent day. I didn't win anything on the $35m last night. There were 2 winners so it gets reset to $5m for Wednesday. We only play if the prize is over $15m.
Anne's getting me a bunch of meds from Walmart pharmacy today. Plus I'm going to go on my 2k walk. I'll have some time to do some gaming and make some music. Its a long process but I'm going to try and do a Reese bass in Reason and make a template. Once its set up once, its basically plug and play. By that time Anne will start our Sunday brunch.
I've got a few things on my plate this week. Tuesday I'm going to go with my wife to her dental appointment and set something up for myself. I have a bank meeting 6:30pm Thursday night. Friday night its BC @ Edmonton CFL. Saturday have my band of brothers. During all that time, I'm going to be going out there for my 3 times/week, 2 miles/day exercise. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday I headed out to
Healthcare solutions at Northgate. I got my compression stockings for something like $13. I thought they would be about $25. Game City doesn't have computer games? Everything is a promo code/download like GOG and or Steam. We have Visa gift cards for that reason. So after that, I went to the food court and got some Taco time and a burrito combo for Anne. I got my bus and home.
After that Anne is up and about doing laundry so about 5:30pm I head out to the TD bank on my little walk. What's this I can't just walk in and open up a bank account? They booked an appointment for next Thursday. Ok. After that over to staples since I was nearby. I got some markers I didn't need and a usb memory card reader. So I just walked home from there. I had a chat with a nice lady in the check out at Staples. After that I just had a quiet night to myself. The weather was nice. A bit breezy. I was short ~137 meters from my 2k. I'll make up for it on Thursday.
I know your reading this and I know the reason why you ended our friendship and walked away. You fell in love with me. You said you would never come between a marriage. Anne accused us of dating. Even Ian said we were dating. I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm not bitter. We weren't doing anything. We both knew that. You can call me anytime. You know that. I just hope someday, we can become friends again. Its all up to you.
I was going to go to the dentist to hold Anne's hand for X-ray's. She got into one of blow ups moments ago so I'm not going to get involved in that. Tonight, I'm at home, and I'll watch Game #7 Blues/Boston. And I have tomorrow night off. Anyway, that's all for now.

Still no work
available. We were told this week that we should get the green light this week. I'm hoping to get a few days in before we call it a carreer at the current location.
I went out on my 2 mile walk Monday. Tuesday we went out for lunch at olive Garden. Wednesday, I tried going out for my walk but I got rained on and waited for the #183 to take me back to my place. Thursday was lodge and I had a major sugar drop. I'm taking this pill to help lower my blood sugar. Note to self bring sugar cubes in a baggie. Yesterday I just had a day off to do absolutely nothing, however I did watch a bit of Super showdown. This morning I went off to my mens breakfast prayer group. We just had a small group but it was good.
This week? I have no idea. Apparently we are supposed to have work, but I dont know. If we do have anything, most likely it will be for about 3 days lasting up to Friday. Anyway, that's about all for now.

On our way out of here
by 2:30pm to our RBC up the street, then its off to Olive Garden Southside. Well that's the plan apparently. Things could change.
Saturday after my morning breakfast prayer group unless things change, I'm off across the street to open a TD bank account for pay pal that sort of thing. But that could change depending if somebody wants to go out for coffee or something like that. Then its to Staples to get some fine tipped markers and a usb memory card reader and some Wendy's. Then I'm going for my walk up and down 134th street a couple times (along with what I did earlier) I'll get my 2 miles in. Later that afternoon I'm going downtown to Rexal drugs to get a Canada post Visa gift card. I want to try and see if I can use it with a software company and order a small product for about that amount. That way when I want to get the full product, I'll know I can use that kind of a Visa again. I did it once before. It should work. The other thing I want to get is the Cubase 10 Pro update. Not sure about this however.
Since people have to take a 2nd look when I tell them I'm 66 they don't believe me. I have no wrinkles on my face or turkey neck. So I may as well take advantage of that and get some grey out hair product. I don't want to look ridiculous and go completely dark. I'll be getting this after lodge Thursday night. Anyway, that's about all for now.

I had that Nintendo Switch
for like 2 days before (and even after my research.) I can't get Switch to open on my monitor much less record game play using OBS. Its packed up and ready to go back to where I bought it, within the 14 day return policy. The next item up for OBS is an Elgato green screen. It sits on the floor and folds up like a projector. I did my research on this product. I could use the Switch if I had an Elgato capture card, but that's an extra $225.
So game 4 of the Stanley Cup finale is Monday. I'll be channel surfing, that and wrestling, unless I get a call to go in for work. But this series is a long series, like 3 days between games? Game #4 Monday, Game #5 Thursday, Game #6 Next Sunday, Game #7 next week already. Its kind of like the lack of work I've been getting lately. Good thing I'm on pension. I'm kind of hoping St. Louis can come back bc if they lose the next game, it will be Boston in 5. Last week Oilers hired Dave Tippet as their head coach.
Lately what with all of the forest fires here in Northern Alberta, I've been paying close attention to the Air, Quality, Health, Index or AQHI. I first learned of this when doing some market research about 5 years ago. I'm in the high risk area for doing any exercise outdoors. The aqhi dropped enough for me to go on my 2 mile walk after my wife checked in on me from her place of work. Well, 3 days a week is better then nothing. I've got my sights on a club membership for $300/year. When I get that this summer and until the first snow, I'm going to go out for a "walk like" that everyday. Its just one bus ride there and back. No trainers, no pool. Anyway, that's all for now.
