It's been a busy couple of days since

about a week ago. I had Chapter practice Sunday, and Lodge practice which I failed to attend and Lodge last night. Plus Chapter tonight and Lodge instalation practice for our instalation Thursday. Busy.

I've had a Scottish Rite Valley line petition for awhile now and I have spnosor lined up and half of my fee. I'm hoping to join that at the end of February. Anyway, that's all for now.

Out for lodge practice this

 evening. I'm filling in for the JD role. My lines are easy, about 2 minutes. Other than my ride proof of vaccination at the door, mask, social distancing, do my bit should be in and out. I hope. Thursday is showtime.

Oilers are back in first place in the West with, 62 games remaining. Not bad for a beat-up D. Last night the Oiler won in Vegas 3-2. Next month there are 8 home games (most of them are all clustered together.) and 7 away games.

The onboard microphone, of my Sony ZV E10, Is pretty good. Leaps and bounds over my Logitech webcam mic but the Sony mic could be improved. After the SSD upgrade, I'll probably go for the Rode wireless Go2. All the tests I've seen with this mic seem to be the best for this camera. Anyway, that's all for now.  

I got a couple days worth of work

this week but I don't know about today. It might be a short shift if there is a shift today at all but I'll wait for the boss to call me. Basically this will be enough to pay for my lodge dues at the end of the month. 

So if I got a shift for this afternoon, the boss will call me. If not, I'll have a five day weekend, and I can go to Commercial lodge on Saturday. Next weekend and after that on the 22nd we're having working breakfast at Max in the West end. Anyway, that's all for now.
