It's been 5 days without a post

unbelievable.

I've been watching a lot of Oilers hockey. Tinkering with my MiiYou mini plus hand held game console. That sort of thing.

Also, I got word Friday that the job is going to start again. mid January. Hopefully to go end of April.

I ordered (from Amazon) a Key light from Neewer. It's a 9x12 light with a stand. Should be in tomorrow by 10pm. Most likely around noon. Anyway, that's all for now.

The Panthers Oilers game

was at 8:30pm on Amazon Prime. I'm  not on Prime. Oilers lost 5-6. So much for the 5 game winning streak.

As for my recording set up, I'm using my wireless mic for my desktop and my Rode Go mic that attaches to my camera for my iPad. That should do it. I could still use an extra Elgato camlink. All this with Camo Studio. I think.

We're supposed to be getting a substantial snow storm tomorrow. That's the day I need to head out to our staff Christmas party. Yeash. It's not so much getiting there, its the conditions I'll be under to get there. Anyway, that's all for now.

I've been so tired lately

I hope its not a sign of anything. Plus, I've got some artritis in my lower left hip making it difficult to walk around. I still managed my 2k steps last week though.

I had a great day today. I set up the 2nd instance of OBS and have my iPad screen mirrored to my main monitor. As a bonus I get no audio Blutooth drop outs due to my Neewer c28 wireless mic. I just have a few snags to iron out in OBS like program window/preview window. 

Also, the Oilers hosted Vegas and we "chased them out of the building" in a 6-3 Win. That's 5 straight W's. I doubt the Oilers will win the next 12 games to make it 17 straight Wins. But there is no All Star break to stop the Oilers momentum this year.

I never thought Anne would go for it but I needed a subject key light. The 3 main key light players are Elgato, Neewer and Godox. I got the Neewer keylight because it connects with the Elgato Stream deck and for $130, it was a good deal. I'll get it by Boxing day next week. Anyway, that's all for now.

I think I blocked one person

on Facebook before this evening and that person was not on my friends list. I blocked Mary because she unfriended me 6 years ago. She unfriended me in a cowardly way because that's just what she and her husband are both: Cowards. I was in denile over this, until I came to that conclusion earlier this evening. They never read this blog. Mary stabed me in the back as she betrayed me. That chapter is now closed. If our paths cross, I will walk away. Anyway, that's all for now.

 sony WH-CH520 wireless headphones. So far I'm really enjoying them. Almost eliminates the need for my soundcard. I can still use this for my midi controller though. 

My edema has gotten worse. Howevver, I think I know the root cause to this problem: I'm drinking way to much diet cola. Diet cola contains sodium, which doesn't help my edema. I'm reducing my diet cola intake to 0. Just juice and water. Lets see if there are any changes by the end of this week. This is a major milestone for me. This Edema is a huge wake up call for me. Anyway, that's all for now.

Our local weather is holding

ok. Right now we're situated @ ~ +1° c and overcast. This is usually early to mid March weather here in the Edmonton area. Sunsets @ 4:15. At it's lowest point the Sun sets at 4:13pm and increases lightness by ~ 1 second everyday. the 4:13 mark will be on Friday the 13th no less. 🤣 We notice this increase in sunset more by the end of January. It's still cold (most of the time) but at least its getting lighter.

We've had Netflix now for sometime but it was something that mostly Anne was using enjoying. I learned last night that WWE is moving to Netflix. and soon so will Smackdown. This is pretty cool. So I asked Anne if I could get her Netflix login credentuals as I downloaded the app on my computer. We had to change the pw of course. This means I'll be able to watch wrestling on my computer monitor

At the moment I'm waiting for Anne's Amazon order to arrive, which is 6 stops away and should be here by noon at the earliest. Anyway, that's all for now.
