This feels real

odd not working in November. I think we lost some contracts. Also we used to have a schedualed monthly maintenance day but we haven't had one since ~ August. Apparently we will be active after the new year. 

It seems we're going to be hit with a massive snow event this weekend. This time last year we got very little snow on the ground until the new year. It's expected we could get about 20-40 cm of snow. This could be huge.

I bought a key to unlock a free i0s app for Black Friday: Suggestor 2. C $35. I'm thinking about purchase similar to that but $70 worth of apps is a lot. Plus I have my meds to buy next week. I'll give a weather update tomorrow after midnight. Anyway, that's all for now.

Just having a nice couple of days

here. I need work pretty badly. If I don't have anything coming up in the hew year, one option is to look ealswhere.

We haven't had any snow since the amount we had last time. Most of it is gone. We're expecting ~ 5 cm on the weekend.

Other then that, I'm watching hockey, just relaxing. Nothing much to report. Anyway, that's all for now.

We're getting our first snowfall of the season

right now. It looks like wet snow coming down.

Should tapper off by 5pm when its dark out there. Even though this is autumn the Winter equinox is December 21st around here. 

Not a lot going on for today. It's a stay at home snow day. I got a Costco muffin waiting for me, diet cola sandwiches. So far its all good. 

Last night Oilers Connor McDavid got his 1001 point. 4th youngest player to get to 1000 points in League history. Oilers play in Toronto tomorrow. As for today, its Friday night Smackdown. I'm home all weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had a nice weekend

with not much of anything going on yesterday. I was in 3 live streams yesterday. I watched Monday night Raw. On Facebook and YouTube for most of the night. Today, pretty much the same as yesterday, except the NYI/Oilers game is on at 7pm. Otherwise, rinse and repeat. Anyway, that's all for today.

Even after a sleeping pill,

all I could get was 5 hours. This is normal for me. I think my lack of sleep problem is I nap at my desk while listening to a you tube video. I need to crrect this behavior. 

Speaking of which, my latest you tube upload isn't getting a lot of traction. I got 2 comments, 1 like. Its early yet. 

Oilers are in Vancouver for an 8pm game. Game 1 of 3. Should be a good one. Anyway, that's all for now.

For some strange reason

I don't mind Trump winning the US election. Better a "devil" I know then one I don't. As a Nation we have experience with Trump, As for the war in Ukraine, I believe he's going to do the right thing.

Tonight is lodge night. I'm looking forward to it. Its our Remembrance day observance. I have qued up "The last post" in A.U.M. Should be a good night. Anyway, that's all for now.

Yesterday wasn't a bad day

 weather wise. We got up to +8°, which is pretty good for this time of year.  We're suposed to get snow today but it could be gone by Thursday

Speaking of Thursday, since I am the unofficial "musical director" for my lodge we're going to have ceremony for Rememberance day. I managed to get "The last Post" music for that part of the ceremony. It's going to be a busy lodge night. Anyway that's all for now.

I had a Halloween post ready

to go but for some reason it was saved to draft. Sorry about that. I know what the problems is: Before this post is published, a copy is made to publish on another platform. Same title. Then I publish this entry on Blogger. Somehow it didn't get published and moved to draft. I'll publish here first then the other platform later.

Going to lodge practice last night didn't happen. Late Sunday afternoon/evening ETS bus service is a real challenge here in NE Edmonton. Weekend bus service is at half speed and getting a bus to Clareview is ok but the #104 always ends up going out of service. Next one is half an hour away. I could catch the nearest bus across the street from here but that gets me to lodge to early or 10-15 minutes or later I can't depend on my brothers all the time. 

Last nights Oilers/Flames game was a real barn burner. We got the first goal, Then in the 2nd Calgary tied. We got the go ahead and Calgary tied that as well. Late in the 3rd we got the go ahead and won 3-2. Apparently conner will be out of action for another 2-3 weeks. Anyway, that's all for now.
