It's been so hot

around here and my restless leg Syndrom, has affected my days. No energy to do anything. I did however, make a few phone calls, to ask the pharmacy to hold my stockings until next week. I paid for them over the phone. Also I called the registry about the Government ID.

The highlight of my week was watching the Elks win over the Riders. If anyone can miss a 57 yard field goal for a 2 point lead its the Elks on a critical game.


As I write this, we're getting a nice thunder storm. Torents of rain Anyway that's all for now.

I'm thinking about heading out

I called the vendor about my compression stockings. I asked if I could pick them up next week when the weather would be a bit more comfortable, instead of this +29°-+30°C, if I could pay for said stockings over the phone. I did, and I can come pick them up anytime. Excellent. Weather next week is forecast to be about +22-24°C.


Elks Win over the BC Lions last week, brought the Green & Gold to first place in the West for week 7. I don't know if the CFL keeps win loss stats for each week. Would be interesting to know. 

I had a nice relaxing day. The only issue with the compression stocking vendor is they don't deliver. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had my shift that ended

at 9pm last night, sleep and back at it this morning up at 8am for my 10-3pm shift. It's been a busy 24 hours

The weather is certainly changing. At the moment it's +10°C but it feels like +2°

For some reason I thought there was an Elks game on this weekend. but its next weekend. LOL Anyway, that's all for now.

Last night we went yo

Capilino mall Walmart. Our bus ride took longer the normal due to all the side walk renwal construction.. I've never been in this Walmart location before. Anne left me behind to gaurd our carts to travel on a store scooter to get something. I got the scooter when she returned and followed her as we did our shopping and keeping track of the Argo's/Elks game. My sole reason for going was to get a pair of reading glasses to measure against my iPad screen. We got the highest strength one possible. We bought them did some more shopping. Here's Jimmy wheeling in and out around store isles, having a great time

We arrived home, just in time to watch the closing  minutes of the 4th quarter. Anne was putting our groceries away. Argo's 20 Elks 28.  Argo's were 3rd and 10 with under a miniute to play. Argo's QB through a desparate pass to keep the drive alive but turned the drive over on downs. Elks football. The ran the clock down in Victory formatiom for the 20-28 win.

My sister had sent me a message in chat and sent me an etransfer. Early birthday present. What a blessing. Maybe its because i'm the big brother, I'm poor and old and all crippled up. I'm going to get those headphones from Long & McQuade next week.That's the game plan anyway. That's all for now.

Tomorrow at 5pm 😀

The 1-4 Edmonton Elks will host BC lions at Commonwealth. Last year the Elks record was 4-14. Not good. Hopefully we can do better this year. The game starts at 5pm.

This came across my feed recently: In 1994, Susan Williams set a Guinness World Record for bubblegum-blowing with a 23 in-wide (58 cm) bubble. Susan had tricks and tips to blowing bubbles as big as she did, called the "Susan "Mont-Gum-ery" Williams technique, which she would say proudly before blowing her world record bubbles.🤔hmm. 

I haven't been posting anything on my YouTube channel in awhile. It's not due to inspiration, but I'm just taking the summer off. 

Plus getting older I don't have the energy like I used to have. The Elgato Green screen I bought last September hasn't even been used. I'll get to it eventually. Anyway, that's all for now.

This morning I'm

doing my annual Fort Edmonton Park volunteer gig. The Masonic Lodge museum is open to the public. I try to get a day every August. My day is today but because we're so short staff I'm also there for tomorrow from 10-4. Historically, we usually buddy up. 2 of us. We're there to answer questions from the public about Freemasonry.  It's actually a good time. Last year it was so warm outside, my buddy and I took the train back to the park entrance. Sadly there isn't any ETS bus to Fort Edmonton Park.

The Elks are on a bye week. Meaning they are not playing any games. Now that there is a coaching and quarterback change maybe they'll improve their record at home when they resume play next Thursday entertaining Winnipeg.

Tuesday late afternoon Anne and I went to Costco because she wanted to show me the Laz Boy chair she wants to buy me. I needed to test it out. Anne showed me how to use the scooters Costco for low-mobility customers. I caught on to how to use it very easily. I did and I like it. The wheels move well on the plastic mat. I like how the armrests fold back. The back is high enough that it acts as a privacy screen from prying eyes behind me. And the chair is comfortable. Anne also bought me a new zipper hoody and an office fan. Plus she bought us Costco hot dogs and fries from the deli. Good time. Anyway, that's all for now.
