I published 2 Blogger posts back to back. What's the occasion for this event Jim? Nothing really. I have work tonight and all day tomorrow, and all next week. looks Like next Friday is the last of it for the year.
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. Feel free to contact me on my Twitter feed or YouTube channel Shannon on Sounds. Thanks for dropping by

Still just
working out the work week. I doubt this project will last beyond Friday, which is ok for me. I could use a break. At the same time, I hope this project goes to at least next Friday, max.
Earlier this week Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson said he will not be running for a third term. Is he planning a push for the next Alberta Provincial election 2023? I'd vote for him as long as he is not on a Socialist ticket.
Once again the idea of betting on a single game is being presented as a private members bill. I think its a good idea but these types of bills ever pass Royal ascent. They have this concept in the US for some time now. Would be nice to see this bill get some traction. Anyway, that's all for now.

Because of work lately
and other challenges, I'm lucky I can blog once a week. Yesterday was a full day on the job. At least I don't need to go on that long commute, being exposed to the elements.
The Canadian Football League CFL wants to start again and has released a possible schedule for 2021. There are still details to work out but a schedule might have limited fans in the stands. That'd be great if hockey starts in January to June and in June to this time next year CFL starts.
Tomorrow morning Anne has something to do with her job, and I'm working 4-9 all week and a bit of Saturday. Then that's it (as far as I know) until January etc. Anyway, that's all for now.

Here I am and its
Monday morning. That was a fast weekend. Hopefully things will slow down after the middle of next month. Anne wants me to slow down in January to 3 days/week in the new year anyway.
I'm currently playing around with Ethereal Earth. Its part of Kontakt's play series. I made a video using Streamrec. Right now I'm just working on the intro and the thumbnail. I'll have that done up today and the upload posted to my channel by the end of the week.
Speaking of which I have a full week ahead of me 4-9. Not that I go out much because of the Pandemic, but at least I have work, for now. I'm hopefully going to have enough for my computer upgrade for over the holidays, I'm looking at getting a LGA 1200 MSI BT motherboard, 128 Ram, and an i9 10 core/20 threads processor along with a 750 watt power supply. My last computer. Anyway, that's all for now.

Not much going on around here
We're both working from home today and tomorrow night. I got the weekend off and I have my schedule for next week. I may not be able to go anywhere, but I'm grateful I can at least work.
The NHL would like to have the season begin January first 2021 and have limited fans in arenas. They are also talking about regional bubbles, type thing. There are a lot of moving parts in this scenario. Anyway, that's all for now.

Its Saturday night
and we're getting our first taste a winter snow storm. I love snow days.
I got to call my Aids to daily living file, and its a 20 minute interview over the phone. Other then that I have no going out appointments this week. There's Remembrance Day Wednesday, and Friday the 13th gamble day.
Its going to take the city 2-3 days to dig out of this blizzard. Other then working 4-9 its going to be a quiet week. Joe Biden won? Ok. Anyway, that's all for now.

Off to get some testing done
for my CVI. That's at the MIRA health centre this afternoon. After that its to grab some Tim's take out and then home around 5pm. To get my steps in, I'm walking back from Clareview station.
This week, I'm working 4-9, Saturday 10-6. In the new year as I'm closing in on 70 years old, I'm going to slow down, to just 3 days a week. I don't mind working but the hours could compromise my pension for 2022.
Despite all these hours, I'm still able to get my steps in. My daily quota is 2K/day or 2,624.67. Today is going to be a bit more because of the extra walking. Anyway, that's all for now.
