anything can happen in life at anytime. I'm blessed with having a good life, even though its been a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. When I get sad or lonely, I think about all that God has given me. I have regrets, yes. I think we all do but in the end at my age I'm in a good place.
I finally have Streamlabs OBS more or less sorted out. How I got this far, I have no idea but at least its working for me. I want to put up a live stream today but at the same time I've got a phone call to make with Alberta seniors. Plus I want to get out there and do my 2k walk. I might have to do the live stream tomorrow. Or do 4k Saturday, idk. We'll see.
Weather wise, we've been getting a nice mix of rain and sun for all of June and the trend continues into July. Most likely thought its going to get warm in August. Just as long as we fon't get the smoke like we've had last year in August. The smoke got so thick it looked like LA smog in the 1970's. Anyway, that's all for now.
I've just been working and going to my PCN yesterday. Not a lot going on. I'm off tonight for lodge. I'm delivering the Saint George's day Grace at the festive board.
There's a lot of buzz over this Pepsi commercial lately. Hmm, didn't Coke do something similar in 1978 with their "I'd like to teach the world to sing," commercial? Yes I know its a different cause and all but...
I'm wondering why I'm having this shortness of breath lately. I thought maybe thyroid? Then after a search for some causes online, it came to me: Obesity. I'm over weight by about 60lbs. So after work Saturday I'm going to go the gym. I've got a free pass after all.
Next weekend is Easter weekend. I get 4 days off, so I'm excited about that. I'm going to work on a Gadget video, so it should be a lot of fun. That and watch hockey as the playoffs will be underway next weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.
yesterday afternoon. I had a good 8.5 hours of badly needed sleep. I was mostly doing You Tube stuff all afternoon, while Anne returned her photo frame. She made us our late breakfast as the first period of the Oilers game got under way. What a 4-1 disaster that was. With 14 games left, my hopes for the Oilers keeping a playoff spot are fading fast.
Update: Normally I'd be on my way to work right now and I waited for a long time for the bus. Traffic on 50th and 137th a block away was blocked Flashing Police lights were all over the place. Traffic was slowly trickling through but no ETS buses. A fellow ETS rider joined me and apparently knew more then I did: She works in Costco and said there was a shooting out there on the corner. It was about 3:15pm and no bus. I went back into the apartment as Anne was just getting up. I explained what I knew, "you could have walked down to Clareview station, you dumb fuck.." Then here comes my delayed bus. "Well, since your going to be late, why not phone in." So I did. Anne hadn't left yet but I got online to find the story. Apparently this man was on the corner of 137 and 50th a block away waving a rifle at bystanders. Police were notified and they got here asap and cornered off the area. This was at 11:30 this morning. The man that had the rifle fired 3 shots at Police. They returned fire and shot the man. The gunman was taken to hospital. He was still alive at 2pm. The story is under the heading of "locked and loaded." Other then the ETS pedestrian last November a block away from us this is a quiet area. This gun totter wasn't inspired by anything. His Facebook page talks about the Illuminati, Satin, quitting his job. Obviously somebody that is very disturbed. Looks like I have a unexpected night off. I called in thinking I should say sick because I didn't know the ramifications of the above until I found the breaking news. But yeah, very scary.
It looks like my market research job will have enough work to keep us busy for awhile. Some are suggesting we might have work heading into mid July. It's never happened during the 2 years I've been there but we'll see. It's my wife's birthday Thursday and she wants to go out for a birthday dinner after work, probably to BP's across the street since. It felt different to get the extra hour of daylight and somewhat weird seeing all that snow from over the past few days. Good news my commute into work today will about -1. Anyway, that's about all for now.
its line of defence is crumbling. I smell a route about to happen at any minute and I'm taking no prisoners.
My commute into the office at my South side job, and absent without leave were the usual plethora of students. Its a bottle neck just to get into the escalator hub at Southgate to the overhead ramp. It was a mix of cloud, fog and sunny breaks hinting at an unstable weather trend waiting for my #52 bus. I got into the office at my usual spot and the super came in, then the manager. Only a handful were invited to come in. The official launch of the project goes. We had a meeting/orientation that took aver an hour and a half. We didn't get on the phones until about 6pm. One of my colleagues kept me updated over the Oilers/Tampa game. It was 2-0. I knew it wasn't Talbot in net. This wasn't all on Brossoit. Our D was atrocious. At least we don't have a pie eating roly poly goalie. I wouldn't have bet on Brossoit doing our defence any favours. We should have had that game. Winning that game might have been a pie in the sky exercise. Ok, I'll stop now. At least this household isn't in Sweden. Oops. I couldn't resist. Oh and the Oilers dropped another one.
It was nice getting a ride home and inside before 9pm. So, I get a melatonin before bed, listen to a bit of Coast.
