At lodge last night

I made a contact for RA, and I got the name and phone number. He said he would sponsor me and I'll be calling him when I get up this. Hopefully, I can get everything set up right away and take my MM* before the end of the year. Things are moving fast

Day one of the shift on Wednesday was excellent. Looks like I could get 20 hours in before the cut-off and a full cheque by the end of the month.  We're going to go to the 27th.

I canceled my subscription to Logic Pro iPad because I wasn't using it as much as I wanted. I opted to renew my subscription to Canva pro. They have a new Ai photo feature that looks interesting. Anyway, that's all for now.

Earlier this morning

 I had a bit of a scare as our internet went down. The last thing I need is for that to happen just before we begin a new project. Anne made a quick call to tech support. They were aware of the outage and no sooner had Anne gotten off the phone, than the internet was restored. Prior to the last project in June, I had an illness that took out ~ 75% of my hearing. I went through that whole project being sick. A few days later, my health was back to normal levels. I was concerned because we were beginning a new project, I'd be offline, and history with some other snag before a new project would repeat itself. Yet I'm good to go for 4pm.

After my 4-hour shift tonight I have 5 days off. I anticipate this to be a short project anyway closing around the end of the month and nothing forthcoming for the rest of the year. Never say never.

Our initial Greater Edmonton Foundation (gef) housing contact for low-income seniors is no longer with the organization. I kind of suspected this to be the case. Enter our new contact. While on the phone with her earlier, she said we can put our name into more than 3 properties. We also need health documentation and confirmation on who will take our cats if and when we pass away.  That's the hardest part of any of this. Anyway, that's all for now.

It's confirmed I have work

beginning tomorrow 4-8, off Friday because of the long weekend. Back at it Tuesday. That's about all I can say about the project. I've done this one once before and it's a good one.

My wife's sister, Pat has her husband of 77 years old in a Cape Breton hospital. Anne and Pat do Facetime every Monday at 6pm. They've been out to visit us a few times but nice since we've been at our new location. We're concerned for Barry's health to say the least.

The good news about this project because it's Thanksgiving weekend, and we're off Friday until Tuesday. I've been off for 6 months. It's going to be a short project with no indication of whether or not we have another project after this. Oh well, it is what it is as the kids say. Anyway, that's all for now. 

We had a cooler and overcast

day yesterday. I didn't get a lot accomplished. I  had 7 hours of sleep and woke up about noon. I ended up with over 4500 steps. Anne ordered us Royal pizza. It was a good day. Anyway, that's all for now. 

I went back to London drugs

at Northgate yesterday to retrieve my camera tripod & mic. Tuesday when I was there, the lady at the kiosk said I need to have my external mic off the camera cage and the the tripod off the camera to do the screen lamination. While she did that I got distracted plus I was half awake from lack of sleep I got the screen laminated but I inadvertanly left my tripod and mic behind. Fortunatly I called and she said she would store them for me. That's what I went back for yesterday. 

After I got the camera items above I hobbled over to Wendys for a baconator burger to take home. That was about 4pm catching the school crowd on the way home. 

Good news is I got an email from the job saying that we're going to be starting back again October 4th 😃 It's a 4-8pm familar project. It's a short project but at least I've got a bitof hours. Plus I have days off before it begins. Anyway that's all for now.

Yesterday I got the energy

 to overwrite my 2Tb nvme ssd and install and change the drive letter in Bios. C now has 1.81 Tb of free space remaining. The 500Gb I bought in 2020 for 3 years. As long as I'm stingy about what to download, this should last me a long time

I'm up at 7am tomorrow morning to go to Healthcare Solutions leaving here at ~ 8:00 to get my compression stockings. After that, I might get some breakfast at McDonald's and head over to London Drugs across the street to get that screen protector for my Sony camera. It's only $10.

The Oilers and the NHL are in training camp mode. I'm not really interested in the NHL this year. I might wait until they make the playoffs. If that happens. Anyway, that's all for now. 

Friday night at Commonwealth

 the Elks were off to a slow start. I slept through the first Quarter and the score read 21 BC Lions, 7 Elks. We picked it up in the 2nd quarter and at one point it was a BC 3-point game. The final score was 29-37 BC. Good game though.

Saturday morning I went to our bi-weekly men's breakfast group a short walk away. I was up at 6am though for it.

It took me a while but I was able to get a track out to my channel. You can watch it here. Anyway, that's all for now.
