Now we're having an issue

with our property management company here saying they need an update of our active tenant insurance, which our provider said on the phone with me yesterday, they sent them a copy. Apparently, management here needs this copy by Wednesday or we could be evicted. our provider told me they sent an email of the form to a different email than the one I have. Management needs to know where to look for that form. One phone call tomorrow will clear this up. More stress I don't need.

My schedule this week is 4-9, Saturday 10-3. It's much better than 3-9 and 10-6pm. We're also moving paydays on a bi-weekly schedule every 2 weeks, rather than on the 15th and end of the month. This is easier to manage when I have work.

My 500Gb Samsung nvme m.2 SSD (about the size of a stick of Ram) on my motherboard has about 14Gb of space left. What makes this worse is that this is my C drive. I don't like mixing brands around but my 3-year-old PC already has a retired XPG brand SSD in my desktop tower. I'm looking at getting the 4Tb SSD m.2 drive. I have an external enclosed kit here, so cloning the internal drive is no problem. I'm also comfortable in installing the new SSD onto the motherboard and going into the computer BIOS to change the boot order of the drives. I hope to pick up the new SSD next weekend after work, a bit to eat, and hopefully my new Vlogging camera as well

Last week I bought a subscription to Envato elements to enhance my YouTube videos/channel. I posted my latest video from last week here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gtQxQcUTls

I'm not sure for how long I'm going to use this service because it is quite pricey. I was going to buy a subscription to Story Blocks, but I could never get a hold of the company and I had trouble ordering the product. Plus, I can only handle about $65/month worth of subscriptions anyway. I have Envato elements, Output's Arcade, and Ampify's Launchpad. 

I'm going to post here on the weekends from now on. Anyway, That's about all for now.

Not a lot going on this week

Yesterday was our city election. Earlier today our cat Skippy had one of her eyes removed. I'm working throughout the week 5-9. I uploaded a video yesterday. It's going to be a good week. Oilers won this evening 6-5 over Anaheim. It's a good week so far, other than Skippy. Anyway, that's all for now.

Got my hours for next

week. Looks good Tuesday-Saturday. This afternoon, it's 3-9 then another 4 days off. 

Some odds and ends: Tuesday our cat Skippy, is going in for an eye operation to have her left eye removed. It's another $1200 expense, which is why I'm holding off on the camera. Maybe in the Spring. I already bought (for $12/month) a subscription for Novation's launchpad and I want to get a subscription to story blocks. Right now, Skippy's eye surgery is more important than a $1,000 camera. However, I'm seriously thinking about running out to get the 2Tb SSD m.2 drive and some glucose tablets. The SSD drive is badly needed and is $100 off. 

The Oilers won their first game last night. Other teams in our conference, haven't played yet. It's too early to tell right now. Oilers host Calgary Saturday night. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Enjoying day 2 of my

4 days off and because of the civic election, I have a short work week next week. Happy Thanksgiving weekend everyone.

It hit me as I woke up this morning: Stream deck. These are cool gadgets that I can load anything into and they have been around for a while. They hook up to the computer. They come in different sizes. Some are the size of a pack of smokes, others are the size of a pocketbook. Stream USB decks are desktop devices on a stand that have rows of clear plastic buttons. The buttons can be customizable. I can load Giff files, wav, sound bites. All kinds of things. One company has cornered the market on these items. A YouTube search for them and you'll see what I mean. Very useful for my music production, to add more spice to my videos.

Speaking about the municipal election Sohi is in the lead. For the sake of the WLRT, I'm hoping Sohi is elected. Mike Nickle is against the WLRT so he can cash in on those against the WLRT. Meanwhile, millions of $ spent on design, engineering studies, land expropriation, consultation, other levels of Government funding, and other stakeholders are at risk, not to mention the hundreds of jobs at stake. The funding is already in place. Let's go Sohi!

Tonight I'll be watching the Oilers in the last pre-season game. In the last game, McDavid looked worn out. Next week the NHL plays for real. Is McDavid going to be the next Carry Price to seek "mental help?" I'm not an insider, so I don't know. Anyway, that's all for now. Let's go Oilers.

Do I vote tomorrow to relocate lodge or

 not? Or do I voice my concerns before casting my ballot, or let my reply be through silence? One thing is certain, a decision will be made and it looks like the lodge will vote to relocate. So what do I do? I can make it to Highlands hall on my own. What with ETS and the big bus redesign, getting back requires me to ask for a ride. I really don't like this.

With, Facebook having its global outage yesterday it had a ripple effect globally. Facebook had to use Twitter to get the word out. Whistleblowers.

Last night on the job one of my colleagues in chat posted a photo of a sunset smoky sky. I learned later that this was a forest fire in Saskatchewan. Strange to have a forest fire in October. 

What now with single event betting in place in Canada, I'm thinking about placing my first bet. At the moment, just doing some research. Most likely betting on my team away, odds are higher, than if they were at home. I might start playing Proline again. Anyway, that's all for now.
