Another day off today

on a what looks like a cold sunny Wednesday afternoon. I haven't seen a November like this in a long time. Normally we'd have about 3 inches of snow on the ground this time of year and looking at -18/25 windchill. All part of this global warming or climate change trend I suppose. 

Apple has a app called Quicktime installed on iMac's that allows for screen recording. I'd like to be able to do this on my iPod Touch. Since I didn't make it to the studio for my hour yesterday I couldn't try this: With my lightning cable and iPod Touch download the Quicktime player. I'm sure I can sync my iPod Touch screen with the iMac to do this. If I'm not working on the weekend, I'll try and get to the Apple store. What I'd like to get is a 27 inch 3 Tb iMac but that wont happen until I get full pension. Earliest I'd be looking at getting one would be Spring 2018. What I'm working towards now is freeing up some space on Anne's iPad for iMaschine and BeatMaker 2. If I can get the Quicktime player on our iPad and my iPod Touch i can see myself still using that in the meantime.

I'm about to email off a few resumes this afternoon. I sent out 2 yesterday. My goal is 2/day. All I'm looking for is something part time, 3 days a week. Anne is home Monday/Tuesday so this will have to be office work days if I end up taking a work from home situation. I'd like to go to this one place I was working October 2014. I tried getting started at the end of this last September. They have a work from home situation but I had forgot to ask about that. As far as work goes at my current job, they have a few small projects but apparently my flow rate from the last project didn't make the cut for this one. If I don't hear from the office by Thursday, I'm checking a work from home set up. 

As for tonight, I'm home holding down the fort watching the Chicago Black Hawks/Oiler hockey game on TV. Thursday I'm making setting things up for a work from Home situation. Anyway, that's about all for now.

For non members of our

lodge that are interested in joining we have a early festive board. This lets them check us out and vice versa, meet the guys, fellowship and take part in some masonic education. We had a fellow that's been showing up more then a few occasions last Spring and again recently. He came by last night with his petition. We had a nice remembrance day celebration. I left early with one of the guys and got home by 10pm. When I'm on pension I'll be able to stay up latter. 

Its a beautiful day out there at 3* as its calling for 5* later today. Tomorrow, we're at 9 degrees. Up until the middle of the month we're holding out at above 2* or better. We still get the odd bit of snow but that evaporates off the ground as the day advances. 

When I got home last night, I checked my call display on our TV call history and the job called but when I called today I was still asked to come in but the shift could end early because the project is winding down. That, I wont mind and if I'm out early I might be able to catch the 2nd period of tonight's Pens/Oiler's game. It would have been great to have McDavid up against Crosby. McDavid's shoulder injury the other day put that on pause. I don't know about next week or if there is a schedule going on the board for tonight, but I'll know that when I get there. I think tomorrow is out. There is a good indication I could have a long weekend and I'm ok with that. Anyway, that's all for now.

I'm still bringing up a lot of

phlegm but for the most part that cold I had last week is almost gone but never say never right?

The other day ETS went and fired their top manager over all the recent delays over the opening of the Metro line. Metro was supposed to be in full operation a year ago but ETS hired Thales to modernize its signaling system. The original system was put together by General Electric. Thales had to merge the old technology from 1978 with the new technology and that's why there had been so many delays. ETS's last manager had over 30 years of experience in transit so he ended up being the scape goat in all of this. ETS says the Metro line will be opened when its reliable enough. Translation: When the City can have a staged opening and the Mayor can make his speech with the Province, Feds and ETS partners as a backdrop. In the meantime the testing of cars along Metro and Capital lines is continuing, stay tuned.

Anne's getting up in about half an hour and wants to go over to Wendy's for me before she heads to work. Great. Then I can get cleaned up and leave out of here for Lodge.
