Earlier Anne went out to do some business and then reeturned

from Wendy's with a baconator combo, biggie fries for lunch. After that she went to Mass. I don't usually watch the first period of the Oilers game because usually nothing happens. Anne went out swimming at the Clareview arena up here and that's where she is now.

Earlier I called LM to see what the procedure is for taking out a account. Same as before, so Friday on my way to work a bit early (I'll take the #3) to LM and set it up. I want to get the Korg Volca sampler and the iRig lav mic. It takes about a week to get the iRig mic but then once they call the following week, I can go in and pick up my stuff. Its $24/month. I can handle that this Spring. Lodge dues aren't due until October anyway and my account with LM will be paid off before work slows down. This way, I can set my account up for latter in September, when I can get something more substantial.

I'm having a decent day, what with Anne out there swimming. I'm holding down the home fort. I got a call from Numeris. They do surveys for radio and television. I took part in one over the phone in the 3rd period of the Oilers game. The score was 2-1 Oilers with five minutes remaining, why not? They are going to send me a hard copy of the survey. I settled in, to watch the rest of the game and McDavid scored into the open Blackhawk's net. Oilers win 3-1. Sweet. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm still here

but last night right after work, I got cut off by an oncoming vehicle in a marked cross walk. I was steps away into the 3rd lane when out of nowhere this vehicle came right out in front of me. Its a dangerous crosswalk.

Yesterday was the big Presidential inauguration day. All the pomp, ceremony, balls, red carpets, and on the other side pandemonium, riots in the streets. Donald J. Trump is the 45th US President. He took office at a very low approval rating and one of the most polarizing Presidents in US history. He's already made enemies. At 70, I'd be surprised if he makes it to a 2nd term. Obama was 47 when he took office, even George W bush was about 54 when he took office. There's already a movement to have Trump impeached. If he even gets that far. The first thing Trump did was appeal Obama care, sad. Its going to be an interesting 4 years.

On my break I'm calling Long and McQuade. I'm off work at 4:30pm (its going to be light out, wow) and over to Long and McQuade. I can catch the #3 as the bus goes right by the shop and I get off at 107a and 101st. I cross the street, and its a few blocks West (street view it) I'm hoping to get my Mackie mix 5 mixer. Its a 5 channel mixer for $65, and I'll have a brief look around at all the gear I can't get, just yet. 

Today, its day 6/6 of my 44 hours. Next week I have the same for 44 hours. I didn't get a chance to get the Oilers scores last night as my train to Clareview at Corona was just pulling in. At Clareview it was 2-1 Nashville. When I got into the apartment, the Oilers tied the game. I got to watch the OT period and the Oilers lost in the shootout 3-2. We're still in 5th place but there's a 8pm game tonight. I get a day off tomorrow and back at it 1-9 all next week. Surprisingly, I don't feel that bad. Anyway, that's all for now.
