I've got another dental appointment

for latter on today. Its additional fittings for my upper denture. Its going to be a short visit. I'll get a bite to eat at Tim's and hang around for awhile and head for my appointment for Merril, and home by 5pm. I don't want to wait for Merril out in the cold until her gets there.

I'm happy with my new Vlogging camera. What's holding me back from using it the way I want to is a 5/8th thread adaptor I can attach to my Rode boom arm. I have Long & McQuade delivering one from their South side store. Hopefully I can pick it up Saturday. Not sure if they can deliver for just one small item.



In theory the female end should fit over the Rode boom arm screw. The protrusion is the end that goes into my camera, so I can do over head shots. If the one I'm getting from Long and McQuade doesn't work, I'll just order the above. It took Anne about 3 days to get her cat toy.

We got off the job early last night. There was just the 3 of us, including supper. We had some technical difficulties, that would have got me 4 completes instead of the one 1 got. I didn't mind heading home early, although it was chilly waiting for my bus to Corona but my train came along right away. Anyway, that's all for now.

Finally we're getting some snow

out there. It looks nice. I'm about to head out to Northgate to pick up the Sony Hx80 vlogging camera. Its a Black Friday special. Sd card is also on sale. After that its to Healthcare solutions, to get a pair of compression stockings. Then over to Wendy's across the street, get some lunch and the #9 bus to 107th/101st and the #3 into work. I'll be leaving out of here just before noon.

The project we're currently working on has just a few more days left. After that, its difficult to say if we're going to get another project or not. We might get a small project in for a few days. I filled in my availability for December. Historically we usually break for the Christmas season around mid December and resume early in January. I could have a couple weeks off here.

My Doctors office just called and based upon the lab report from last Friday, the report came back normal. No news is good news in other words. So, today I'm busy, work tonight and tomorrow, dental/fittings and a meeting later that afternoon and or work in lieu of the meeting. We'll see. Hopefully, I'll have Friday off and then its Saturday I have our alternate Saturday "Band of brothers" (bob) men's breakfast fellowship/bible gathering for a few hours. In other words I'm busy. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its been 12 days in between blog

posts 😲 Life gets in the way, that sort of thing. Mainly, I began work last week, then there was the long weekend, a couple dental appointments, more work etc. I'll be blogging about once a week from now on.

Today is the Grey Cup and WWE's Survivor series, and an Oilers hockey game. Speaking of which, the Oilers won last night 4-2. Right now the Oilers 25 games in are sharing the first spot with the St. Louis Blues. Lots of sports to follow this weekend.

Health wise, I've been getting these cramps in my calf area below the knee. A first I thought it was a blood clot. The perhaps mussel fatigue. Most likely its just arthritis. Otherwise things are going along alright. I'm keeping busy getting my mind off Mary. I still don't know why she unfriended me on Face book and that was almost a year ago. 

Tomorrow, I'll be watching WWE's survivor series, channel surfing the Grey Cup/Oilers game. Mostly watching the Oilers but if the game goes badly I'll watch wrestling. For the most part, its work 4-9 Monday-Wednesday as we're expecting this project to end Wednesday. I got my dental appointment at 1pm Thursday and an appointment after that for some counselling at 4pm. I could be off Friday, and I have a bible study men's group to go to at the end of the month. Anyway, I'll be back next week, that's all for now.

I went and got

the upper denture and lower partial impressions. I go in for fittings next week. I'll have the upper denture next month. I should have done this a long time ago but the money just wasn't there.

Personally I think it was a good move that Sportsnet fired Don Cherry. Sure everyone has the right to their opinion but Cherry is representing Sportsnet. If newcomers or anyone for that matter that doesn't want to buy or wear a poppy in  November for Remembrance day that's their business. I doubt Cherry was saying that newcomers are bad people because they don't buy a poppy and support our veterans. At the same time Don Cherry has yet to apologize for his comment. Why should he?

We're going to have a bit of a break in the weather this week. Temperatures are in the low single + digits. So, Anne wants to try this place close to work called Beijing place. Its a bus ride to Clareview station, then catch the #137 and check this place out. Then the bus back and hopefully back in time for the Oilers/SJ game. Anyway, that's all for now.

British Columbia is apparently going to hold

a referendum to do away with daylight savings time. If its passed then Alberta will be between 2 non standard daylight savings time Provinces. If BC votes in favour to do away with daylight savings time, we may follow. I hope so. I never did like this idea of changing the clocks every 6 months.

I worked Saturday for 6 hours, which wasn't too bad. I'm in for today for 5 more hours. I was doing some stats and out  of the 45 weeks we've had this year, I've only had 125 hours. This year has been the worst year in the company's history for work. The project that I'm currently on might last me until Wednesday. There's been talk that we have another project on the go but I'm not sure when it begins. My guess is after the long weekend. 

So this week I have a 5 hour shift. I don't know about Tuesday and beyond. We're supposed to be moving our operations next Spring. Wednesday I have my last impressions then fittings. I'm hoping I can have my upper denture done by the end of this year and then in the new year, work on my partial. I have enough left on my insurance 
for about 60% of my partial. The rest is out of pocket by $420. I still have 4 fillings. After  my dental appointment, I'm running back down to the office (I hope) for my shift. Then I have lodge on Thursday, then the long weekend.  Anyway, I'll have another post here (I hope) before the week is out and I'm always on Facebook. Anyway, that's all for now.
