Its been an interesting week of

going down memory lane and connecting the dots. I'll explain. First, back in 1973 as our family was in a state of transition, I took temporary residence in a place called Burrard Bible Institute (BBI), otherwise known as the Plantation Inn, Port Moody BC. it was empty when I spent a couple of nights there. One guy Maurice was the unofficial caretaker and allowed me to stay. This was a log style building that was 60 feet wide by about 200 feet long. I always wondered about the history of this building. It was once a brothel, used in the prohibition period for illegal purposes, and finally an off and on Bible camp. I got onto a Port Moody Facebook group from a recomendation. The building was dismantled piece by piece and shipped to be restored to Kelowna BC. I can't find any reference to it there.  

Otherwise, other then that, I've been keeping up with my walking eating sleeping and lots of Facebook and chatting with my friend Francis. I haven't been doing any music production at all but plan on putting a loop together this weekend and some video editing. 

Anyway, I'm off to bed as I'm up at 7am to wake up and pre for my breafast Zoom meeting. So, on that note, that's all for now. 

Sometime this week

maybe even today, the NHL is going to announce the name of the 2 hub cities 2 host games. Most likely it wont be Edmonton or a Canadian city. Training camp July 1st? Even though there wont be any fans at the games, its going to be good to have hockey back.

Some places around town have been getting the Nintendo Switch game system. Even if the consoles come in 2-4 at a time for a couple times a month. Covid has been slowing down the supply of product lately. And to think I had my Switch last May but returned it because I couldn't get it to display on my computer monitor and that was my cash for the summer before another unexpected source of cash came in. Otherwise I would have kept it knowing what I know now.

And on that note, I'm enjoying my time off. Just chillin and relaxing. That's all for now.

Having a week off would be pretty good

right about now. I wouldn't complain even if I had the rest of the summer off, tbh. Actually that would be ok with me. Its all good. 

Until a vaccine for Covid-19 is developed, I'm sticking to more or less home base. Other then going out on my walks, once a month going out with my lovely wife, and make my monthly deposit at my bank that is. I miss my lodge and the guys at FCC. As soon as a vaccine is available, I'm going out with Sage and North East seniors. 

This week, I'm trying to get Maschine 2 software to work with my Fl. Studio 20. There are lots of video's on the topic. I have Maschine 2 software on my desktop. Also, I'm working on a beat with Arcade's "Drip." 

Other then that, just enjoying my time off and the summer. Life is great and the storm is behind me. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on

right now. I put my 40 hours in and got out 25 emails and  made ~ 155 calls. Project manager was impressed. As for now, I don't know what's coming up next if they want me to do Ontario, I will. If not and I have the summer off, great. All I know, is that it looks like I'm back to normal hours: In bed by 4am up between 9-10. Works for me. If all goes well I should have 67.5 hours on my cheque at the end of the month. I hadn't had day hours like that since the 80's.

So the Federal Government lifted Covid-19 travel restrictions for NHL for either Edmonton, Vancouver or Toronto to be one of the 2 Canadian hub cities to play in, whenever they resume play. Hopefully this will be in July or August. Anyway, everything is alright health wise for Anne and I. Anyway, that's all for now.

That was a hard week last week

pulling in 40 hours. I hadn't that 8-4pm since the '80's. I think I got one more week, this week and that should be it for the summer. I'll continue on for as long as they continue to give me work.

This last Friday the Alberta Government went and began stage 2 of 3 to open up the Alberta Government. Like most Provinces, the pandemic went and closed everything. Stage 2 allowed for 50 people to gather. Rec centres are allowed to open and so are churches and theatres. Social distancing rules apply of course. Monday ETS is back to charging fares for rides. Its okay since working from home I'll rely on my seniors bus pass or not one at all. 

Over the last week on my down time I've been binge watching Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes, and McHale's navy. When I'm not doing that, its going on my walk in many cases after work. I'm usually in bed by 1am up by 6:30am. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Yes I'm still working through the work week

day 5 of a full 8 hour work day. I haven't had a shift like this since the 80's. I think though I'm going to run its course by Friday. Most likely because of numbers and performance. I get 2 paid 15 minute breaks and a half hour unpaid break. We break off at 3:45pm. 

Last week I got my first RGB gaming keyboard. I like the back lit keys. It has a usb dongle for Bluetooth (bt) but this computer never came with bt as it wasn't in the budget. I'd love to get a bt motherboard but apparently they are rare. Also I got a new mouse as well. I've got the Logitech mouse and webcam. 

Stage 2 of opening up Alberta's economy begins on Friday. The City can now open libraries, gatherings of more then 50 people, Rec centres can now open but social distancing and face masks are recommended. Them Premier said that there will still be increase spikes in Covid cases, At risk people (like me) should be cautious of course. Anyway, login time is almost upon me. Mary if your reading this, please give me a call anytime. I have no idea what's going on here. And on that note, anyway, that's all for now. 

At least I've got a bit of work

doing days so that was the big news this week for Thursday and Friday. Best part about this, is its 7 hour days. I'm in bed by 1am up at 7. For hour long I don't know. Also last week I had a Zoom lodge meeting the same day. Also this week I got a rgb gaming keyboard. I miss my low profile keys but this is a wireless keybiard. I'm not using it now but I will when Anne gets off work.

My goal for my You Tube channel this year is 100 subscribers. I'm already at 60. I'm having some trouble in Fl Studio channel rack because somehow the plugin's loaded in there dissapear and I can't click on them to call them back. I don't want to do anything now until Anne is off work. 

I've been doing a lot of binge Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes watching on You tube this last week, and McHales Navy. That and going out every night in good weather. Other then that, just holding the fort, not spending any money. Anyway, that's all for now.
