Some days are just golden

such as Thursday. These days are good news days. As days go I'd rate today on a scale from 1-10 a 8. Most days lately they've been meh kind of days.

I left out of here 2pm and I caught a bus to Northgate. I didn't need to wear boots. A bit on the cooler side but sunny. At Coles all of the Warhammer 40k Omnibus books were slightly over my $20 budget. I picked up a Star Wars "Legends" series books "Crucible."Happy with my purchase I went to see my pcn and my pharmacist saw me right away. I got 3 month supply of insulin. Happy about that I headed across the street to Wendy's and almost got ran over by a ets bus in the bus loop. My Wendy's was good but the bacon was a bit undercooked. I got the #182 to my place with about an hour to clean up and get dressed. I was out the door by 6pm and at lodge at 6:30pm to read on the steps in the sun. Kelly showed up and people began filing in. Even George Rockw... showed up after wintering in Arizona. Yet the big news

         .    

for me was receiving my past masters (pm) certificate. That's me in the centre of the photo. John Slade is our DGM and the guy on the right Kelly is our lodge master. Actually he's a pm and the one that presented this to me. I have a medal like what Kelly has but I must have taken mine off. I wasn't expecting this until about October. I still got the certificate and I haven't paid my lodge dues yet. I'll have it paid off before the end of May. After that I had a Sleeman's beer at the festive board. It was a good day. I'm going to sleep in until whenever.

George gave me a ride home on the tail end of a bit of a blizzard. It'll burn off later today. The only downer today was the Oiler's losing 8-2 over LA. Anyway, that's all for now.

This post was put together yesterday for today.

After work the temperature was +33! Warmest it’s been in a couple of years.

After work I went over to Audrey’s I bought  book #10 of the Horus Heresy and a Warhammer 40K audio CD. I also ordered Hammer & Bolter Vol. 1 & 2. I thought about going out for a bite to eat but wasn’t that hungry. I bought a bottle of diet Coke at Tim’s and on a humid LRT to Clareview and a even more humid wait on the #183

When 8pm rolled around Anne was at the door with Donna paying us a visit. She stayed for about 40 minutes and I more or less had the place to myself.

It’s very dark clouds out there as it looks like some kind of a system is coming in.

I still don’t know what‘s going on with the Phoenix Coyote‘s yet on the big vote. I‘ll know by the time I post this. Ok the city of Glendale ratafied a new lease agreement to save the Phoenix Coyote's from moving, in principle. Up next is the "Free agent frenzy" Friday. 

The big system that came in took out  part of a beautiful tree just out here. Mind you it's only a branch but a significant part of the tree's landscape. Branches and tree bit's are littered all over the place. 

Looks like Edward Snowden is running out of countries Seems everyone is turning him down. Anyway that's about all for now.

Lots going on this week.

Monday night Raw, Tuesday Oiler game, Wednesday Lodge, Thursday valentines day, Friday the beginning of a long weekend.

I’ve been having a bit of a problem with my right heal. It seems to dry up with crackling skin. We think it’s diabetes so I’m putting some Vaseline on it and covering it up with a sock. Hopefully that will help out.

My favorite board game Advance Squad leader seems to have a active presence on YouTube. Multi Man Publications most recent ASL offering has been one of their Historical modules called “Festung Budapest.” There is an un-boxing of this game and it’s a huge game. The only thing I don’t like about it is that MMP went and changed the SS counters from their traditional white on black to like every other counter in the German OOB. I don’t know why they did this and some of the comments about the SS counters not being their traditional colors put some players off. Even 3rd party ASL treatments keep their SS counters in their traditional color. The other thing about the game it’s like a $130 price tag. I’m thinking about buying this because it might have a limited print one.

Finally the Oiler’s won on the road. They are still in 9th place but I think this is where they will be all season. Roughly between 10 and 9th. Dubnyk was in net and he stole the show. Hall was called for goal tender interface and with his speed propelled him up onto the net and over. Made me laugh. 

I’ve got a full day ahead today as I’m up at 7am and out the door at 8am. I should be home about 5:45pm. Next week I’ll be able to pencil in my own hours. 34 hours is full time. I’m used to 37.5 at my last job but that was including Saturdays. I’m glad I don’t have to do them anymore. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

I slept in late this morning

getting out of bed by about noon.

I wasn’t watching the news Friday night, kind of watching Smackdown instead. I heard about a shooting in the US but I didn’t hear any details. I heard nothing about it until the news  at 11pm. What a shocker in Newtown Connecticut for the whole world, 20 year old kid snaps gathers weapons his mother had in their house, kills her goes to nearby Sandy Hook elementary school bursts his way in and starts killing children, 20 kids and 6 teachers including the principle and himself and his mother. 28 homicides. Something like that could happen anywhere, tragic.
 
I was so wrapped up in my own world about losing my job running all over the place Friday the thing I was concerned about was what I was faced with. The shooting incident occurred about 9:30am Friday. What made the gunman go to the school and go on a killing rampage, only he and God know those answers and I don’t even think the killer knows. Unbelievable.

Earlier I was fooling around with FL Studio’s FPC. It’s a very powerful drum machine, which can be linked up to a midi controller and also linked up to the piano roll to lay down an easy drum beat. With this I don’t really need Machine. I’d rather have the studio monitors first but I’m more or less committed to buying Machine now.

Apparently the Doctor Who Christmas special wont be on today like I thought I heard. It’s apparently going to be aired Christmas Day and the episode is called “The Snowmen.”

Finally I have a label cloud on my site. I’ve always wanted one but never knew what it was called but it balances out my sidebars.

On my 6/49 I got 2 numbers but that wasn’t with the bonus number for a free ticket. I got 2 numbers right though!

I also added 2 new links to my blog: Cern, and the OTO phenomena, I just titled OTO, its a huge resource.

Anne was supposed to be home an hour ago but because Walmart is open 24/7 during the holidays and all she loses her track of time.
 
It’s -9 out there but there’s a bit of a wind chill. I’m working on a sample track in FL Studio putting together my drum sounds and I have a verse and chorus part. Trouble is I’m experiencing a lot of clipping and I can’t figure out how to eliminate it.

My first CPP cheque in February is going right for my Lodge dues unless I get a good job between then and now. None of this $10-$11 hour crap for me unless that's the only thing out there. If I don't come up with anything substantial then I might have to take anything.

I'm kind of sorry I missed seeing Dave Gross this afternoon but I don't want to spend anything major until I know what I'm dealing with by Friday. Anyway, that's all for now.  

   

The 8am alarm got me

out of bed soar and aching all over. I had my shower and I think I hadn’t even changed my underwear. I got my things packed up ready to have a day but why was it so dark looking outside for daylight? I got my answer after I had packed everything up and locked up and went outside. The weather was rapidly changing for the worse. The winds were gusting and as soon as my bus came by we got a dose of winter. Snow was coming down thick but it got better from the escalator exit upstairs as the snow had stopped.

Tim’s had just put the hash browns in the oven so they wouldn’t have been ready for another 20 minutes but I got the breakfast sausage egg between a biscuit thing a bunch of salt packages and a bottle of diet cola and a double chocolate donut for later.

I actually had a bang up day and watched some football and had the fireside beef/mac/cheese thing. I called Anne at 2:20pm. We’re having trouble with our sink being clogged up. I thought she was going to make a little entrée for me in case I didn’t eat out. I was too soar to do much of anything.

The 2 hours were ok still doing WR and watching the rest of the  Montreal/Riders game. Al’s were leading by 34-28 and the riders could have won it but Montreal prevailed and I won our double or nothing, meaning I don’t owe Warren $4 bucks.

I had a bang up day pulling in something like $870 on card and a $1450 total. More bonus money for another pretty good cheque for next week.

Sunday Anne and I are going out to “Smitty‘s” up over hear on the other side of the Manning and I’m going to check out Happy Harbor comics before they close. Then home to watch any more football. I think there‘s another double header Sunday.

I‘m going to listen to a bit of music, relax and then take the phone into bed and have a nap for about an hour. Anyway, that‘s all for now.  

We got our first snowfall

We got our first snowfall of autumn just after Thanksgiving weekend but we haven’t got the snow that stuck on the ground yet.

I got a large sale within the first hour and 2 all afternoon but the evening as a bit better and I did taps to help shore up my lousy Card showing. All in all though I had a decent total, which surprised me because usually Wednesday’s aren’t that kind to me. The last hour I was losing energy and I knew it.

So the cargo supply ship launched over the weekend arrived at the space station and brought some experiments as well. Speaking of space news, the Mars rover Curiosity spotted a curious object on the surface of the planet not far away from Curiosity. Many just think that it’s a piece of plastic from the rover itself.

We got our GST cheque today which was a welcome relief as we were scrapping for pennies there for awhile earlier this week. Speaking about the Feds, it was mentioned over the news that the production of our Canadian passports are going to be outsourced to The Netherlands as a cost cutting measure. The NDP asked what’s next our currency? I don’t always agree with the left but in this they make sense.

For hours I was struggling how to open the midi key editor in Cubase 6 and I haven’t found any way how to open it. More then likely it’s something I’ve done wrong or forgot but I opened up a test file in FL Studio and Battery 3 works out fine. Actually better then I even hoped for.

I’ve been piecing more information about my father’s side of the family, my grandfather. His name was James Blaine Shannon born 1897 in Bonham Texas. He married a local woman named Florence at the age of 17 and she gave birth to my Aunt Eve in Bonham in 1919. They were  married in 1920 My grandmother gave birth to my father in El Centro CA 2 years latter. My grandparents divorced a few years after my father was born. My grandfather remarried and in 1931 my grandfather while working for the City of Imperial died in an industrial accident overcome by sewer gas while trying to rescue 2 of his co workers. My step grandmother married again and during lengthy custody battle gained custody of aunt and father and lived in San Diego. It gets a little murky after that but apparently my father married during the war years. He flew bomber aircraft over the Atlantic to get the planes to their destinations. He wasn’t flying bomber missions or anything like that. But what motivated him to move to Canada I have no idea. That’s where it gets murky. I found out that my grandmother got married again and  moved to Vernon BC and died at the age of 44, which is still relatively young. How she died I have no idea but she’s buried in Vernon.

This morning I’m getting my Proline CFL game for week 16. Just 3 games left over until the season is over. I’m not sure about my picks yet. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

I answered a text

message from Donna (Anne’s sister) and decided to get some breakfast at Tim’s. Kingsley dropped by and we had a chat and I walked with him to the office. I had $75 by noon and did WR and got a couple of other sales. By noon I was at $100. At lunch I had my dinner and called Anne. After work I did WR Ret and ended up doing $175 on card and about maybe $600 for the week. Maybe $400 on card.

After that some of the guys went over to BP’s for drinks but all I wanted to do was to go get my “Fate of the Jedi” Star Wars book “Conviction.” I’m missing 2 others before it but they’re on order. I have the New Jedi Order series, which takes place before “Fate.” On the shelves as a cool boxed Dart Vader model but it didn’t say if there was a voice chip in it. It was a good deal for $25 and I would have picked it up.

It was overcast as a bit of rain began to fall and I went over to Tim’s and got a dish of lasagna and took advantage of their wifi and listened to some Ramone's while enjoying my lunch. I was exhausted waiting for the train and almost passed out on the 5:30pm train home. Sorry for my voice over audio quality:

I got home and got the phone and napped for a couple of hours and got up about 8:15pm. After the call I got from Anne I began working on the lyrics for my track.

While watching the news the biggest news story of the as most of you reading this would have known by now is the passing of astronaut Neil Armstrong. I was 16 on the amazing day July 1969. That was also an Amazing year, Woodstock, the Vietnam War, Charles Manson, First Concorde test flight is conducted In France, The Beatles' last public performance, on the roof of Apple Records, crazy.

Speaking about the Moon landing even though I believe astronauts went to the moon, there are some that believe that the moon landing was a hoax. There was no hoax. Some question that if there were only two astronauts on the lunar surface, who took the photographs? The astronauts had cameras mounted on the outside of their space suits. The critics who say Nasa never went to the moon are all blowing smoke. They fail to take into consideration that Nasa’s #1 critics were the Soviets and they didn’t buy into this moon hoax. I’m going to be putting the Moon hoax into my “For what it’s worth” section only because it’s a popular conspiracy theory.

Later today about 4pm I’m meeting Anne at Earl’s over here as I’m treating her to lunch but first she’s going to be heading over to the truck over here by the U-haul on 50th street and we’ll walk home from there. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

to tie, did. I picked the Riders to win but that game was tied and the Argo game last night was tied. A tie game in Proline/CFL is within 3 points and now it's half time and BC/Calgary and this game looks like its going to be a 3 point game. I'm picking all ties next week.

What a day I had today doing OPC and I got $30 bucks worth of bonus money last night and $10 today, so I'm going to have a nice check next week. Other then a few days of low totals and the couple of fights Anne and I had and made up, this week has been really good. I needed that solid day today.

I haven't got things firmed up for Fort Edmonton for next weekend but I'll call tomorrow just to make sure that my volunteer partner and I are on the same page here for next weekend.

After work as I stated briefly in a Twiter post I went Audrey's said I'd pick up  my 2 Star Wars books and after that I went to Rexall Drugs to get a 6/49 ticket then to Tim's for some of their lasagna and it was really good and it filled me up. I just took the train after that and of course the usual 5 minute wait in the tunnel. All in all today was a great day except that last hour where nothing was going my way sales wise.

Now I have a couple of days off to relax and work on my music now that the last of this CFL week is underway now.

The gang after work went down to Victoria Park for a get together and Tim brought a whole bunch of KFC for the gang and of course in a "responsible but controlled manner," lots of beer but I didn't go because I didn't want to get eaten alive by the bugs out there.

So, the Northern Gateway pipeline could be stalled because of this war of revenue sharing between BC and Alberta. I can see both arguments but this is something bigger then royalties. The whole pipeline is worth about $82B over a 30 year period. Crazy. Anyway, that's about all from me for today.

I woke up about

11:40am Monday and called LM to see if they had the Mustang 1 guitar amp and the Bullet strat. Yes for both. I left out of here about 12 noon and got to Clareview and downtown listening to some tunes on the way to Corona. After a breif sweaty humid walk to LM they had the guitar and amp waiting for me. Great. They wraped everything up in their LM bags but I had to leave the amp box behind because it wouldn’t fit in the bags. It weighed close to 20lbs. It was tough going sweating like I was in a steam room. I had to rest across the street from Money Mart. After a brief hike to Corona and a wait at the station platform my train came by and I could relax for a bit. I wanted to come through the back way because it would have been easier going through 1 door then 2 like in the front. Up the stairs down the hall, inside. Whew! I‘m glad I don‘t do that all the time. I had a shower to cool off. Imagine if it was one of those +32C days!

Anne wanted to make a trip to the bottle depot as I was tinkering with my new toys and she bought me a A&W sirloin “Uncle burger/fries” it really hit the spot.

I watched the historic 1000th show of Monday night Raw. So because of interference, does this mean Cena keeps his “Money in the bank” brief case?  

After a bit of tinkering I‘ve got everything set up. I can get the shape to do some bare chords and the amp is very loud for a 15 watt amp. Loud enough for what I need it for and the Master knob was turned up to about 3. I have the amp registered to Fender although I haven‘t got the Ableton lite or Fuse downloaded yet. I‘ll work on that over the week.

By Wednesday the $40 funds I uploaded to PP should be in and Telus already took their internet preauthorized billing, so that‘s ok.

So the Oiler‘s have signed Yakupov to a 3 year entry level deal. Lets see of he makes the team during training camp about 6 weeks away.

I’m happy with the amp because it reads fine in FL Studio 10 and I laid a sample track down. I just need to tweak the settings on the guitar and the amp and I’m good to go. On a scale from 1-10, Id rate Monday a 10. What an excellent day. About 7pm there was even a heavy rain storm that took 5 minutes to pass through here. Anyway, that’s all I have for now.

I was in bed by about

3:30am listening to a bit of Coast. The topic was undercover operations. I was mildly interested but passed out.

As a filler on our local news and somewhat related to the above was a story how real estate agent companies will use drones mounted with a video camera to fly around a piece of property to showcase certain features of the property with music and voice over. From the drone models I’ve seen on YouTube most of these drones sound like weed whackers, very noisy. A drone was used to fly over rioters in Poland last year to get a good look at the crowd but if it’s a windy day I wonder how useful they are?

After work yesterday I walked down to Audrey’s. It was very nice about +25* My first day without a jacket. I wasn’t really hungry but I went in and bought my Star Wars book: Fate of the Jedi “Vortex.” I’m expecting “Going pro with Cubase 6” any week now. I like Cubase but it’s suffering from a lot of clipping and it’s hard to get my audio interface in the device set up to stabalize.

Hard to believe this July will mark the 25th anniversary of Edmonton’s “Black Friday” 1987 tornado that killed 27 people. I was at Cobogo warehouse on that day now known as “Cobogo lofts.” I was 34 years old at the time.

I just headed for home and at Clareview station while waiting for the bus I thought about checking my email on my iPad but my connection was lost. I got home and checked into it and was still off line, then it came back on line.

I headed for bed taking the phone in with me and set my alarm for 8pm. I had an hour and a half nap and Anne called about 8:30pm. I had the rest of the night off and worked doing some recording on “Chair” and I got some good takes. I wanted to use Vari audio in Cubase but I’m having some problems with it.

Later this afternoon Anne and I are heading over to Earl’s again. We haven’t been there since her birthday. That was March 16th but we went on the Sunday on the 18th. I enjoyed the burger was nice. That’s probably what I’ll have again. Anne likes to head to the Pet Smart store first before head over to Earl’s.

So the 2012 NHL draft ended up with no real surprises for the Oiler’s. We got our #1  pick and (again) yawn. It would have been better if this guy had some better credentials but oh well. We need to sign him to at least a 3 year deal and see what he can do. Or sign him for 3 years and trade him for someone we can use now or over the next several years. The real action will happen at the NHL free agent draft next July first. Anyway, that’s about all I have for now.

Two days off is

more then enough. Theoretically I could go in for tonight for the 5-9 shift but I need 2 days off after a full week.

Earlier yesterday I was working on a track in Cubase. I was able to use Garageband and cut a couple of vocal tracks and they show up in vari audio just fine but I couldn’t figure where the metronome in Cubase was coming from. Then I realized I had it turned On in GB. I’ve also got to redo the Wav files because I missed a bit of a step.

The topic on Coast tonight is about how media is lying to the public. I think lying is a strong word here. I think its more not making available all the news that’s fit to print. For example I watch CTV news and they have out of a 1 hour broadcast their first hour is the National and International news. Then a half hour of local news. Local news they cover news, weather and sports. After commercials etc, there isn’t a lot of room to cover the more exotic stories. But Jim Marrs usually talks about conspiracy theories and that’s the angle he usually comes from. But if an alien space craft lands on the white house lawn and says, “take me to your leader.” You can bet that’s going to be front page news. But your not going to get X-files stuff on CTV, ABC or maybe Fox news or CNN.

Sigh, another controversial headline grabbing book out there. First it was Harry Potter for kids. Then recently it’s Hunger Games for teenagers. Now it’s 50 shades of Grey for women but its mostly about erotic fiction type of thing. What‘s with all of these books appealing to specific demographic markets lately?

Not much is going on this week. It‘s a full 37.5 work week ahead. I‘m trying to save up for the Komplete 8 package as LM has it for just under $600. I figure at $75/week, I should have it by about mid July.

The other day Matt Smith (Doctor Who) carried the Olympic torch for the Summer 2012 Olympic games. I’m not big on the Summer games but I do like the winter games because of the hockey. It was nice to see Smith though to carry the torch. Anyway, that’s all I have for today.

I’m going to leave

 out of here in an hour to pick up my cheque and get that done. After I do my banking, it’s off over to Audrey’s get my book and then hop on the #2 bus over to Cash Canada on 50th street and I‘m going to take my Ipad along so I can take some pictures if needed and test (finally) away from the apartment how good this 3G service is and pop into McDonalds for a bite to eat and head home.

I finally got someone from iTunes to respond back about my gift card issues. So I took a photo from my Ipad of the bill the back of the card and then emailed it to me. Then after receiving said email I opened the photo within Firefox and put it on my desktop. I replied to iTunes with the photo so they can pinch and zoom in for the PBH numbers and what numbers I have on the card. Easy process and helps to remove stuff from Ipad memory usage. I love this New Ipad but in future enhancements, I’d like to see them be able to take a photo from within photos and drag it onto the desktop to be used as wallpaper. 

As for now I’m relaxing enjoying a coffee charging up my Ipad. After I compose this and wrap a few things up, I’ll have a shower change and head out of here.

One week off isn’t enough. I’d like to have 2 weeks off. I’d still get a check when I come back. I think in August I’ll take 2 weeks off after I save a bit of cash. 

At Clareview station I bought my 6/49 ticket and had a few minutes to check out my 3G connection on my iPad. Works great. I took a video and tried it on the way into the office, Tweeting Twitter posts along my way until the train got underground. I got into the office and got my check, said hi to J and said I’d be (possibly) in Monday night. I asked about my vacation pay and he said something like “its all taken care of.” I said hello to my buddies, and got some text numbers so I can make text messaging calls which I hadn’t got made any yet. There was a bit of a line up at Scotia but I had my iPad with me so it wasn’t so bad waiting. I went to Audrey’s and thought maybe they wouldn’t mind if I could hold the book one more week because after giving my wife what she needs and buying the book, I’d be left with not very much. They said  ok, no problem. They’ve got some nice books there. Glen Cook’s Garret PI books look interesting, I was almost going to buy “Garret takes the case.” I probably will later after the RJS book. I was ready to take the train home, then realized, no, I need to go upstairs to catch the #2. I took a video inside the bus but I’m not publishing it because riders are in the way. I got off where I wanted to be and checked out Cash Canada, their guitars were in the back and they didn’t have much of a selection and the lowest price was the clerk said $350 for a Fender. I’d rather spend the extra $130 and get a new Epiphone ES-335 dot then someone else‘s headache. That‘s my next project. I had a double quarter pounder with cheese and fries and drink. The decor in the facility was gaudy, food meh. I got a #2 bus just outside and decided at 50th street and walk home. I was inside the apartment by about 3:45pm. I had a good day.

I was disappointed about Cash Canada and McDonald's but the afternoon was good to get out.. Anyway, that’s about all for now.

I had a decent day

today.

We began calling the political campaign today as we had a fellow from our parent office give a talk. Very nice guy and knows his stuff. We didn't get to do any calling until about 2:30pm. The pitch is a bit wordy but simple enough. I had a nice lunch break even though it was kind of crowded in there. Anne provided me with a nice "Fireside" type frozen entre. In the evening I didn't get anything until after break but I got (with help from the 'trainer") a $235 sale and a $30 one after that, then it was time to shut off our dialer's and head for home.

Just outside there it was very nice and mild with a gentle snowfall. No wind. I met one of the staff from Audrey's books at the corner and had a chat while my light was changing. I had a brief wait at Corona and got a train and road in, a seat to myself and got a bit of reading done at Clairview. At my bus stop just out front here the snow was coming down heavy but there was no wind. Temperature was about 0. Very nice out there, I love it.

I guess I forgot to give Markus this "pick up number" he needed to get the funds on the Western Union form or whatever the proper number is called. I emailed it to hi when I got his email.

I'm really enjoying this "A game of thrones" series by George RR Martin. It kind of takes me back to my SCA days, everything so Medieval-ish and all. It's not a Harry Potter/D&D thing at all. Not even close. So far there's no magic or sorcery of any kind but plenty of intrigue. Lots of stuff on Knights and Squires. Excellent stuff, and I have another 4 big books in the series yet to read.

Well, just when I thought Doctor Who is in hiatus, Space channel has another episode coming up and of course the Doctor Who Christmas special is Thursday. I got my pvr revved up and ready to go for some Doctor Who goodness. Anyway, that's about all for now.

It was a bit of a scramble trying to get out of here

about 11am this morning. We had a bit of freezing rain/snow overnight but the Sun was shining and it was mild, really nice out there.

I got down to Tim's about 11:30am and didn't go inside but instead I went straight to the office. I waited for a bit and nobody showed up but James was inside and let me in. We had 6 of us there and ended up with 10. Lowest turnout on a Sunday I think we had. I had a good start and a better first half. I had my lunch Anne made for me and tried to call but she was more then likely out at "The Truck" as she likes to call it. We get discount food items like burritos potato patties sausage rolls that sort of thing.

I had a slow 2nd half but it went fast and I was ready and packed up when the F5 shout came on (station shutdown) I worked my way to Corona station and got a bus ticket because Anne needed the bus pass. I had about a 10 minute wait reading my copy of "A game of thrones." I'm slowly closing in on the half way mark.

I got home shortly before 6pm and Anne had dinner ready (perogies) very nice and I have whole evening and a day off tomorrow for myself.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm running down to pay my website fees at my bank and home to enjoy the Detroit/Oiler game and some Monday night Raw. This week for next week I have 38 hours in and on the 23rd of this week (Friday) I'll get a full check and 10 days including 2 stat days. Sweet. Anyway, that's all for today.
