I had a nice day yesterday

what again in 2 live streams. I bought 2 apps from Unfiltered audio for ~ $7 each "Silo," and "Needlepoint." I'm going to use them in my next upload, which I hope to do a return to "Touchscrapper."

The disk with the orange centre spins.

Silo. Granular synthiszer

I'm out of here at 1pm today for my 1:45pm appointment. Anne said the bus shelter out here is still not repaired. Most likely because it's near a residential complex. 

After I return from my downtown appointment, Anne and I are going to go out for dinner at a place nearby before the 7:30pm hockey game. Then I got lodge Thursday. Other than that, not much is going on for the weekend. Anyway, that's all for now. 

The highlight of my day was watching

the Edmonton Oilers OT win over Florida Panthers at Rogers Place Arena. With just 4.4 seconds on the game clock, Bouchard winds up and scores. In OT McDavid to Draisaitl. 4-2 OT

Earlier during the day, I got onto Doug Woods's channel. Jade Starr had a 2-hour stream on SuperImpose V. Could this be a luma fusion Killer? Idk about that. Also yesterday I got up to 150 subscribers 😀 So I decided to buy an app on Cyber Monday called Bass-Mint by Unfiltered Audio for cad $7

I have a day off today, then I have a Doctors appointment. Wednesday, then home and once Anne returns we plan on going out for dinner across the street. Thursday I have lodge to start the month off.  Anyway, that's all for now.

I didn't get much sleep

if any overnight last night. Anne had picked us up our Tims breakfast. I brought mine with me to BoB's. I didn't know it at the time but going out the back way by the office was a bad idea. It was very icy. I took baby steps. After our meeting, I headed out the back way, It was nice and Sunny. It felt like a spring day. Approaching the ETS bus bench for my 10:15am arriving shortly, it felt like a spring day.

I got home to finish the leftover coffee I had earlier and settled in to watch the Oilers game. The first period had 2 coaches' challenges ruled in Oiler's favor.  I went to pea and it was 2-0 Rangers, then they scored again. I gave up after the 2nd period. I figured to check the score and it was 3-2 Rangers? What? We got a hockey game. Then Oiler's tied it 3-3. Then we got the go-ahead goal. 21 games in Dylan Hollowaygot his 1st goal. Everybody played well. We went from 10th to 7th. Even Calgary lost. Next up Panthers/Oilers. 

As for this week, I'm working on my next track. Lodge practice tonight, Oilers Monday. Doctors appointment Wednesday. Anne and I are going out for dinner on Wednesday, Lodge Thursday, and Habs/Oilers hockey on Saturday. A busy week for sure. Anyway, that's all for now.                                  

The puck drops at

5:30pm this afternoon at the UBS arena in Elmont New York. Oilers/Islanders. Islanders Mathew Barzal is from my hometown of Coquitlam BC. Not sure who Oilers are going to have in net. Campbell seems ready to go.

I went to bed at about 3am and I got up shortly before 9 for about 5 hours of sleep. I had my morning coffee about to have some lunch and catch the Sound test room. I might pass out during Doug's stream.

I got a new subscriber to my @jimshannononsounds channel yesterday. Now at 148 subscribers. I wanted to get to 200 subscribers by the end of the year. I thought if I went on a weekly upload schedule, that would help. I'd be happy if I get to 150 before the end of the year. My goal for 2023 is 250 subscribers. Anyway, that's all for now.

Seldom do i ever mss a CFL

Grey Cup game. It doesn't matter what 2 teams are playing. Yesterday afternoon the Toronto Argonauts/Winnipeg Blue Bombers found themselves in the host city of Regina at 5pm Edmonton time. It was a great game. Argo's won 24/23 ending Winnipeg's chance of a 3 (Grey Cups) consecutive win dynasty.

My new year's resolution for 2023 (other than the job) is to spend less time nonproductive time, on the computer and more time with my wife, and Lodge events, watching Oilers games and senior drop-ins, and face-to-face gaming. Oh, and my exercises/health.

Not a lot going on this week. I'm calling the South Clareview Community League drop-in line, to see if they are active. I'll be doing that today. Plus, there's the Oilers/NJD game at 5pm, Wednesday is the Oilers/NYI 5:30pm, Black Friday, my Saturday am breakfast to 9:30, then the Oilers/NYR on at 11am. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Never say never but I'm not expecting

a work schedule this week. I hope I get one. If one doesn't come, that will most likely be it for the year.  The less I make this year the greater my pension will be next year.  In theory.

Yesterday I did absolutely nothing. I ended up with just over 4500 steps on the day though and watched the Oiler win in their first OT game of this season over VGK. 

Not much going on this week, except I'm following a bit of the Grey Cup game in Regina: Argo's/Bombers. Plus I have hockey Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is Black Friday, so I'm looking at a few apps to go on sale, and there's my bi-weekly Saturday men's breakfast I like to go to.  Anyway, that's all for now.

It was more of a hint

but there was enough in there to tell me that I won't have any work between now and into early the new year.  That's ok, as I have 4 events between now and the end of the month, and about 6 Oilers games in there as well. Next month 5 events and 21 Oilers games.  

I have 2 uploads in advance on my YouTube channel. My November 26th upload, I changed the Key and BPM. No copyright claims. The above steps should be best practices moving forward.

Not much going on this weekend other than the Oilers game at 8pm Saturday. At least the weather is warming up. I'm still playing Baulder's Gate 1 and reading "Icarus Plot" by Timothy Zhan. Anyway, that's all for now. 

The highlight of my day

 yesterday was watching the LA Kings/Oilers debacle @ Rogers Place arena. Lord, I need a life. 😂 I thought the Oilers brought their C game to the fans last night. The game was tied at 1 until McDavid took an egregious cross-checking penalty, and LA scored. To me, that was the turning point in the game. The Oilers wore their reverse "retro" jersey. The LA Kings played awesome hockey. They deserved that win. The last goal was an empty net. Only our goaltender and Zach Hyman we're the shining lights in the game.

Anne didn't feel like cooking so we ordered a small Royal pizza for our 10pm dinner. I'm doing the video editing part of my November 26th track. Other than that, its been pretty slow around here. Anyway, that's all for now.

Sure enough the date

for Artemis 1 changed again. Now, it's supposed to be today. Yeah right. If it launches today, I'll be very surprised. 

I played a bit of Balder's Gate on my Nintendo Switch earlier before dinner. Balder's gate 2 came in the same order.

Oh and this week I got 2 new subscribers for Jim Shannon on sounds. My goal was 200 by year-end. There's a good chance I'll get to 150. 200 by the end of 2022 for sure.

So far no work schedule for this and next week. Tonight is LA Kings/Oilers 8pm. Our weather here in Edmonton is going to get a bit colder. -10 is cold? 😂 Anyway, that's all for now.

With 2 copyright

claims within 1 month of using Launchpad, I decided to give up on it. Besides, it was taking a hit out of my limited monthly allowance. I have yet to have a copyright claim using Splice. I'm going to reset this once-a-week posting to bi-weekly. Weekly posting is not sustainable. 

I'm not sure I heard this right but Nasa is still on track for Artemis 1 launch tomorrow November 15th 😂 That mission has had so many fail launch attempts I lost count. 

Not a lot going on this week. I'll be following Artemis 1. There's an Oilers/Kings game Wednesday. I have a Doctors appointment Friday at 2:30pm. Then there's an Oilers game Saturday at 8pm. TBH boredom is settling in. I'll be happy when I'm back to work. Anyway, that's all for now.

This past week has been

for the most part uneventful. However, I was able to contact Alberta Blue cross for seniors about some ointment I wanted a prescription for. They said there is a generic brand for it. Plus I was able to book an appointment with my Doctor downtown for next Friday. 

Alo I watched 3 Oilers games this week, and yesterday was Remembrance day. Later this morning I'm having a breakfast meeting at about 8am, get some sleep and there is the Oilers/Panthers game on at 2pm. So this was a pretty good week so far.  

The only downside is I haven't been scheduled for any work so far this month. This has got me a bit anxious but I'm not going to panic. I was told I'm going to be working on the next 2 projects, hopefully between now and the end of the year and 1 early in the new year. I have a bill I'm trying to pay off before the end of this year or early next year. 

Next week (Monday) NASA is (again) going to try to launch Artemis 1. I'll believe it when I see it. Next week I have only 2 Oilers games and they are home games. LA Kings Wednesday and Vegas/Oilers. 2pm next Saturday. I'm also going to try to get down to Commercial lodge as well next Saturday. We'll see how that goes. Anyway, that's all for now.

Doesn't look like there is going to be any

evening work for the rest of this year as the window for that opportunity is closing. The new year looks pretty good though. However, never say never. Though I won't hold my breath waiting for this year. It's all good.

I got asked to do a small part in my lodge's installation for next year. There are no speaking parts. I'll go to the practice last Sunday of this month. We're on the first Thursday of the month. 

I think I bought 1 Steam game, but there seems to be some hot buzz going around about Steam's Steam deck. The Steam deck kind of looks like a Nintendo Switch but plays Steam's giant catalog of games. There are over 50,000 titles of various qualities. To get a top-tier Steam deck here in Canada costs something like $800. At my age, I'm in no hurry to get one anyway.

Tonight, I got the Oiler/Capitals game on at 6pm, Then the boy's go play in TB, Wednesday I'm remembering somebody's birthday, and Carolina is Thursday 5pm. Remembrance day is Friday, then the boys are in Florida for another 2pm matinee game. Lots of hockey. Anyway, that's all for now.

We're still struggling with

colds over here. I've had mine since Tuesday. Anne a few days before me. Yesterday (for me) it's been mostly its been a rough cough and bringing up phlegm.

Over the last 4 games, the Oilers went from no. 2 in the West to no. 6. Calgary was at #1 now in 9th position. Surprisingly Seatle is in the #3 spot. Fortunately for the Oilers, they head out on a 4 game road trip since lots of teams this year (Vancouver) don't do that well at home. Tomorrow, the Oilers are in Washington D.C.

After Anne did her job she ordered us a Royal Pizza. I put my $10 in. Since our first meal won't be until about 5:30 this afternoon. Other than that, we've had a pretty good weekend despite winter hitting us with some snow. It's the wind that does us in. Oh well, it's all good. Anyway, that's all for now.  

 

My housing for

Alberta senior's contact sent me a follow-up email. We have a 9am appointment for November 23rd. It's only an interview. They have questions for us, and we have some for them. No doubt this is like a queue, with ~ "700" applicants ahead of us. Anne and I should have done this when I turned 65 but I only heard about this last year. Fortunately, there are other providers out here.

I missed the first period of the game. Missing the Oiler's first-ever hall of fame ceremony with Lee Fogolin and Ryan Smyth. The score was tied at one when I joined the game in progress. The Oilers scored the next 2. New Jersey came within 1. Within 7 seconds, NJ scored 2 goals and lead 4-3. The Oilers blew a 3-goal lead in the 3rd. So much for adding to the 5 game-winning streak. Oilers never fare well when they have these types of ceremonies. Oiler's 2 goals to win were 7 seconds apart. 

I don't know if this is a cold or if it's Covid or what? I'm not puking or bringing up phlegm. No doubt this will be history by the weekend. Anyway, that's all for now. 

It started Tuesday night with a slight soar

throat and developed into watery eyes. I felt a slight fever coming on as well. Then my sinuses began dripping. I didn't eat much of the lunch Anne made for me. I had to call one of my lodge brothers to cancel his pick-up for me today for tonight. I really wanted to go to lodge tonight, but my next opportunity will be November 23rd.

It began last night with our first snowfall of the season. About 3.5 inches. We're going to get -10 to 13* for the next 7 days. We're finally into winter. Anyway, that's all for now.

In my inbox yesterday

I received an invitation for us to arrange an interview for seniors housing. It's not confirmed yet but we are hoping for a Tuesday afternoon interview in the Northgate area. Plus we hope to go out for dinner after that. Hopefully, it's also to view a suite for immediate occupancy. This is just an interview to get our foot in the door. 

As usual, Jack Campbell let in the first goal of last night's Nashville/Oilers game. We scored after that. By the end of the first period, it was the Visitors' 1 Oiler 5. The oilers made it 7-4 at the end of the 3rd. I don't have a lot of confidence in our starter goalie.

Anne went out to do some shopping at Walmart and got me one of my meds. She said it looked like it was sticking. Anyway, that's all for now.
