What's happening this week...

Tonight is Monday Night Raw, I'm going to see about getting a ride to Freemason's Hall for tomorrow night as a friend of mine is going to be installed as Lodge Master, Wednesday Anne & I are going out for our monthly outing, Thursday is the Elks/Winnipeg. Looking forward to that one. Friday is Smackdown, Saturday morning I'm out at a mens bring your own breakfast event and after that is WWE's "Night of Champions." 

I'm so tempted to get Omnisphere 3. It's a huge VST library. I can get it at Long & McQuade. I've been wanting to get it since it's initial relese. 

I don't like the price, but I have the hard drive space and I can reactivate my Long & McQuade account again.

We're still getting rain as it's supposed to ease off later this morning. Looking forward to Josh's rainfall update. See how much rain we got this weekend. Anyway, that's all for now.

During the last 72 hours, I think we

have had more rain volume then anything, I've ever seen here in this city. And this is more or less steady rain. Makes me homesick for the Lower mainland.

Speaking of weekend rain, yesterday at Commonwelth Stadium, the Elks (Canadian Football League) were hosting the Montreal Alouettes. The Al's have always been top in the East like the Riders here in the West. 

Al's managed to tie the game @23 forcing OT. Elks needed a field goal to tie to keep the game going or a Touchdown. The rain at Commonweath affected both teams but Elks ended up with the W 32-29. Elks haven't had a record like this since 2019. This week is the rubber match where we're going to get a beating for sure. 

I recently had to switch from LibreOffice to Apache OpenOffice because the fonts were glitching out on me. Honestly, neither quite matched Microsoft Works, which I used from 2005 to 2010 for my diary and short stories on an old Windows XP Compaq computer—I actually still have that hard drive but it'd not compatibe with my 2018 computer! Since Microsoft Word is the closest thing to Works today, it’s been on my radar for years. Since the only options now are a Microsoft 365 subscription or the Office 2024 one-time purchase, I decided to use $100 of my leftover allowance to buy the Office 2024 license. It felt like a necessary expense, and I’m really happy with the decision. Anyway, that’s all for now!.  

We've had a few warm days here

 and it rained about an hour ago. Looks like we're going to have a nice weekend. 

So the new Edmonton CFL Elks owner Larry Thompson gave a pressor at Commonwealth the other day. He hinted at doing things that will bring in the fans. Maybe like what the Riverhawks did this summer. The main thing fans want to hear is to change the name back to Eskimos. I agree. I don't hate the Elk brand but I'd rather have the Eskimos back.

Next week I'll be 72 years old and Anne wants to take me out to the place where she hd her iPad glass repaird because she had another incident yesterday with her iPad, which I wont get into. After that she want's to take me to the West end iHope for a birthday dinner since we're out that way anyway.

On this day in 1877, Hello for a phone greeting to the Telegraph Co. as an alternative to Alexander Graham-Bell's "Ahoy." Anyway, that's all for now.
