Today is the first ever

National day for Truth and Reconciliation day. It's basically a day to observe the residential school's issue of indigenous children and honoring indigenous people. It's not recognized here in Alberta but our company is recognizing it. I support this.

Work continues to go well as well as can be expected. I like the project. My hours are good as well.

Other than that, not a lot going on. I wanted to go to the registry over here and I still might do that today. Not sure. I need my new address on my Government ID. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Trudeau spent $610 million

bucks for an election that got him 2 more years and everyone else nowhere. What a waste. 

I got a full day on the job today.  The Elks are in a bye week. iPad OS 15 dropped Monday. Not sure of all the changes. I've got close to 30 hours "in the bank".

So the 2 Michael's were released in almost what is called a prisoner swap for Wanzhou. Two flights at the same time. Not tied together, yeah right. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Not a lot going

last week. I'm more active on Facebook but I still like to keep this going. 

Yesterday I have my proof of Covid-19 vaccination. I'm trying to get Anne's set up but having a slight problem.

The big item is the Federal election. We don't have our voter registration cards. We were given ours but there was no time or funds to get a change of address in. Everything went towards moving. I was lucky when Anne went to turn the keys in she picked up our mail at the old place, which included an envelope containing my vaccination records key. 

Overnight, iPad 0S 15 is set to launch, so looking forward to that, and the Federal election. Anyway, that's about all for now.

Sometimes I get asked

 "Hey, Jim why do you shop Amazon and not local business?" Mainly because a local business doesn't have what I want in stock and or if they do I have to go across town to get it. Besides, there is an Amazon warehouse in Leduc just an hour's drive away. I can order on a Monday and get it Friday. Right to my apartment door. And they won't deliver or leave an item until it's signed for. It's a good service and employs local people.

Finally, the Elks won a labour day classic. First time since 2011. Mainly because Calgary's QB was out of the lineup. The rubber match is Saturday here at Commonwealth. Can't wait.

I also get asked: "Yo, Jim. Your are almost 70. Why do you have a YouTube music channel? You are not even a musician." True. However, I consider myself to be an electronic-music arranger/sample-based musician. I work mostly in loops samples, using my iPad, and computer. Plus my channel is mostly a hobby. I'm not in it to make money. I like to figure things out that I'm interested in. Anyway, that's all for today.

We're finally in our new place

and it's not bad. It's quite a bit more expensive than our last place. It has a few quirks. It's hard to climb the stairs but I'm more or less used to it. We like it. We have our isp set up, including our work computers. I went out and bought a new computer monitor. It's 27 inches and has the 2 HDMI slots I need. Earlier I was playing Zelda Links awakening. Everything works great despite it having a few seconds of latency. 

We're still sorting things out around here. We were going to get a change of address but that's a $100 expense and I'm not back to work yet. Hopefully, that will happen this week. Anyway, that's all for now.
