It's another must win

for the Oilers this evening in Anaheim. Tuesday night they had the home crowd behind them. Tonight, we're in hostile territory. They win tonight, they force a game 7 to be played possibly Saturday night. 

I'm the no.1 Oilers fan , at least in this household. Odds are not in the Oilers favour. I will be watching, wishing them will. Lets go Oilers! 

Late yesterday afternoon, Anne and I headed out to iHop South Park shopping centre. I got the 2 eggs, sausages hash browns, toast for $15. Anne got the sampler and gave me an extra pancake. I paid a $5 tip. Anne returned an Amazon wrong order for me and they credited my Visa right away, so that paid my dinner. Normally, I'd be paying out $35 for breakfast like that. 

Tomorrow night (once I let Gordon know I'll be riding with him) I'll be at Al Shamal for our monthly business meeting. This is the 2nd time I was at the Friday night meeting. Anyway, that's all for now.

The fact that the Oilers

last night forced a game 6 last, blew my mind. The Ducks are a team that are very strong at home, and I doubt lightning will strike twice and the Oilers will force a game 7. It's just one game at a time.

Anne and I are going out for a bite to eat this evening to an undisclosed location. We would have have gone out 2 weeks ago but I had that leg infection. Hopefully it wont return.

Thursday night is the Oilers game, and Friday my AASR brother is picking me up, as its Rose Croix night. Should be a good time. And after that, its Smackdown replay. All glory goes to God. AGLA. anyway, that's all for now. 

Tonight its game #5

round 1 Ducks/Oilers. I'm ok if the Oilers lose this evening. Individually the Oilers had a great year but on a team level, they had trouble winning 3 games in a row. The could only do that once this year. What with Trading Skinner for Jarry and some ok players, that more or less lived up to the hype. Team did ok. Not like last year. Mainly because they faced LA Kings which they seem to have "their number." If they lose, I have Elks football, and wrestling. All is not lost, entertainment wise speaking.

Not that I use Instagram (IG) a lot but I have it activated and it's in my Windows Start Menu. I just discovered this but IG has a free chat feature. This might have potential down the road. 

I had forgotten all about this but the CFL released the Edmonton Elks schedule for 2026 way back in early December. I entered the games in my callendar. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Not much going

around here lately just watching the Oilers being thrashed by the Anahiem Ducks The Oilers need to win game 5 Tuesday night, or they are gone in the first round now under way. I feel their season will come to an end Tuesday.

Friday night, Anne notcied a pastery shop that caught her attention on Whyte Ave. She went on a recon mission to get more detail and the place is called. Paris Baguette.

They had a 2 for one special on a cream puff pastry and she bought me a chocolate treat. Very nice. It's just a few blocks away from my old stomping grounds from 80th Ave.

I had a quiet weekend. No ambition to do anything. I have some eye strain in my right eye I need to check in on this week that developed over the weekend. Almost everyday we've been getting snow here. Anyway, that's all for now.

Anne and I have been

talking about getting a personal walker, instead of the one we've been sharing. We like shopping locally when we can. Canadian tire has some, Walmart etc. I got to thinking that since I'm on AADL and they fund my compression stockings will they be able to subsidice a walker for me? Then I thought about Healthcare Solutions at Northgate, and if AADL can put in a recresition form for me, I might be able to get a nice walker. I'll call AADL today and see if I can get an answer. 

I remember this very well. On this date (yesterday) in 1985, the Coca Cola company unveiled their New Coke formula for their signature beverage. The result was outrage from Coke drinkers across the country, who bombarded the company with demands to return to the original formula. Less than three months later, 'old Coke' was re-introduced as 'Coca Cola Classic' and New Coke became known as the modern-day equivalent to the Edsel.. The "New Coke had a soapy type taste to it. I hated it.

The Oilers are in Anaheim as the best of 7 is now tied at 1. I think McDavid has an ankle incjury and is just playing through it. If we lose tonight, we're done for. We'll see how that goes. Also, there's Smackdown tonight. Anyway, that's all for now.  

Last Wednesday

morning at home, Anne watched me lose my balance and 240 lbs of Jimmy fell aganst the wall. Not taking chances, Anne called 911. They were here within ten minutes. They took my vitals, and were able to diagnose (from the info I gave them) and suggested they can drive me to the University hospital, or go to the East Edmonton urgent care facility by Stadium. Paramedics suggested I had a leg infection. We thanked the paramedics sending them on their way.

We called for a Co-op taxi. Anne new exactly where to go. We were there within 20 minutes and ~ $15 later. We had to register, and go to intake. After explaning to the people at urgent care, they did tests, blood work, x-rays etc. We went through 5 days of this. 

The Doctors said I had an infection brought on by CVI etc. During all that time and tests etc. I was on IV a few times there, and they gave me script for meds and anitbiotics. Most of my time there was waiting. I'm moving around slowly. Dan Mullet and I were the same age, born 1952. Him in May, me August. We both have (had) CVI Chronic Veinous Insufficancy (poor blood flow from heart to legs). We both wore (wear) compression stockings to help mitigate this. Dan fell down stairs at home. I just fell on one level and I did not lose concoiusness. I didn't want to say anything about this or make a big deal about it, or draw attention this. I had to cancel other Masonic bodies this month. I'm just relaxing at home. Eye floaters had got a bit worse but not much. I'm ok. I'm not dying yet. LOL. I might be out for May. Sorry about this. I'm at that age now brethren. My spirits are good. I'll be back before we go dark. . 

Thanks to Winnipeg

Jets losing, clinches the Oilers in the playoffs how far we get is another matter.

According to the True Knowledge computer program, April 11, 1954 was the "most boring day" of the 20th century.

The dubious distinction was derived from feeding 300 million historical facts into the program

Monday night Raw tomorrow/Ave's @ Oilers overlap. I'm taking Anne out on our monthly outing this week (Tuesdqy/Wednesday TBA) Canucks/Oilers Thursday, Friday open Saturday/Sunday wrestlemania, It's going to be a great week ahead. Anyway, that's all for now.

Having a great

other then the lack of sleep I'm getting. Lately I'm going to bed about 5:30am. I get about 3 hours sleep, then back to bed about noon, for about 2 hours.

Tomorrow night (Friday) I'll be at AASR. Al Shamal. I want to see how they open in the Rose Croix. At least I'll get a ride there and back. 

Saturday, I have BoB to go to in the morning, and the Oilers are in LA for an afternoon game. Should be a nice weekend. Anyway, that's all for now. 

I took some Oragell

the affected tooth and it seems to be a lot better. I can live ith this until it gets to become unbearable.

Hostess Twinkies were created on this date in 1930. Is it true that this classic snack has a shelf life of years or even decades? 

According to Snopes.com, the junk food treat only stays fresh for a mere 25 days.

Apparently the VPN was added to my Bitdefender AV subscription. No issues. Anyway, that's all for now.

This is what's happening this

week: Today, finish what I started with our insurance. Ask AASR (edv) Will Lost & found coffee cup, later Monday night Raw, Tuesday, Oilers/Utta game, Wednesday: Niuit. Oilers/Saint Louis. Thursday: Hadit. Friday: Ra Hoor Kuit & Edmonton Valley. Saturday BoB. 

Eventually, I might have to have the remaining teeth come out. I'm considering dental implants. In looking at the above, I could get 3 implants for $1800. About $3,600covererd by Alberta seniors. I might need to get some snap on dentures. At least I'll look better and I can eat, but that's at least 2 years awayAnyway, that's about all for now.

Apparently the machinery to have

a Masonic Rosicrucuan body here in Edmonton is in the works. My contact claims that this is not the Christian body. This suites me fine since I'm not a Christian. I'd like to join when it gets here Aparently there was an orginization here in Edmonton. There is a plaque Rossicrucian plaque in Highlands Hall. 

I got nothing going on until Saturday at BoB. Just a heads up Don. I'll be there. I love it when I'm in someones head. ANyway, that's all for now.

We're getting our

insurance sorted out because we have this under a 2 bedroom but there are 2 different mailing adresses. Our Insurance provider doesn't get what we mean. We should just give them 1 adress, not two. Anne is confusing the insurance company. 

On top of all of this I have a mild toothache from a broken tooth that is letting me know, its causing me some grief. The insurance company needs to know this is one lease, not 2.

The good new is my new compression stocking vendor, is setting up account to order a new pair, I can hopefully get them sometime this month.

So much for my prediction but Artemis 2 was launched at ~ 4:30pm EST. Mission seems to be going smoothy.

Tonight it's part 2 of the Rose Croix for my 17 & 18° degrees. This will be it until October. We're looking good. Anyway, that's all for now.

Today is my

Rose Croix day. My ride (Eric) said he would pick me up about 5:45-6pm. It only takes half an hour to drive out to where we need to go. I'll be calling him about 4pm to make sure he's ok to pick me up later this afternoon. 

I just hope there is no snags at his end and it's 6:15pm, and no Eric. That's the worse case scenario. "I'll take a ride home, if that's ok." I'm going to set things up with Uber when I get up today. Just in case. Getting to the meetings is no problem because Gordan said he'll drive me. there and back.

Artimis 2 is "set to launch" today, but I firmly believe it won't leave the launchpad. Probably due to weather. Or some other anomaly. 

Our Amazon order is suposed to come in today. I hope it's before I head out the door for Eric or Uber. Anyway, that's all for now.
