When Super announced the shift

was ending at 7pm I was totaly elated. All of us were. An early start to the long weekend. That means 3 days off. We return Tuesday & Wednesday and wrap the project up Wednesday.

Today I have the Elks game at 5pm, an Plus there is WWE Crown Jewel. Plus @ 8pm, there's a Canucks/Oilers game on. Footbal/Hockey/Wrestling/ Should be a fun day  for Jimmy I got to post this and get some shuteye.

Since I began with Blogger I've always had it in standard mode. I asked Google if there is a Dark mode native to Blogger, Sadly there isn't but there is an Edge extention called "Dark Reader." After bed, I'm going to buy this extension. It's only Cad $13. Good deal. Also recently Blogger added an insert a Google search bar right into my post. this could be real handy for me. Anyway, that's all for now.

This work project could

last as late as next Friday or a day or 2 after this upcoming weekend. Without this seasonal work, I dont think I could even afford to live here. It would be tight. I probably couldn't do any subscriptions.

Known for his powerful tales of mystery and the macabre, author Edgar Allan Poe died under somewhat mysterious circumstances on this day in 1849, at the age of 40. On October 7, 1977. My favorite story of Poe's is "The cask of Almontillado." Alan Parsons Project did a song about this story.

While I can't say the name of the project I'm currently warking on, I got 7 complete. Which is pretty good. I could see working 3 days/week though. that I could do. My job is casual enough as it is.. Hopefully, we'll be done Friday. Then that's it for me. Anyway, that's all for now.

I thought there was

an Elks CFL football game on today. When actually it's on the 11 next Saturday. I even have it marked in my calendar. weird.

It's a day late but on October 4th 1582 was the last day of the Julian calendar, and the start of the Gregorian calendar as decreed by Pope Gregory XIII. In Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain, October 4 was followed directly by October 15. 

With the new branded micro 128Gb sd card I'm going to try and reformat the card. It needs to be formated to Fat 32. I'm using Rufus. This is the industry standard for formating sd cards greater then 50Gb. That's my prokect for today. Anyway, that's all for now.

I had my shift that ended

at 9pm last night, sleep and back at it this morning up at 8am for my 10-3pm shift. It's been a busy 24 hours

The weather is certainly changing. At the moment it's +10°C but it feels like +2°

For some reason I thought there was an Elks game on this weekend. but its next weekend. LOL Anyway, that's all for now. 

My lodge brother picked me up

last night, shortly after 6pm. Lodge was fun. Because it was an IPM night, it was good to see returning brothers I haven't seen in awhile. It waas good to see Brother Kelly in the East.

I hated to do this but I had to cancel the eye appointment today. I was so wiped out from Lodge, it would have been a struggle to make it through my shift tonight. I'm waiting for a call back to see if there's a better time, around 11-noon next week. 

Hard to believe next weekend is Thanksgiving weekend.. For the most part , we're into the low double digit weather paterns. As for tonight & Saturday, I'm working but that's ok. Anyway, that's all for now.

I tried numerous time

calling Rogers this morning at Bonny Doon Mall location. Failed each time. My Amazon tie, order was out for delivery. It was a last minute decsion to dress and get some traveling diet cola, and get that 11:40am bus. I was joined by other seniors waiting for the same bus. We were down there within 10 minutes. Apparently I can't set up auto pay at the store level. I was getting off the bus at 1:15pm for home. In and out.

Riding the elevator with some of the other seniors, I asked if we will have a polling station in our building for the upcoming civic election. They confirmed that to be the case. 

When I got home, no Amazon order. It's still out for delivery. With any luck, I'll have a new tie to Lodge. Anyway, that's all for now. 

iIt's a new month

October 1st.

This morning is another laptop maintenance event. After that I need to get to Rogers to top up my cell phone account. I tried doing this yesterday but I couldn't get cofirmation. My bank isn't showing any info. Once i get the laptop set up, I'll leave out of here at about 10:40am for Bonny Doon Mall, and get this sorted out. I'll get some take out as well for lunch to have at home. .

It's going to take some creative accounting but if I can swing the fee, I hope to join Scottish Rite Masonry. Edmonton Valley. More specifically Lodge of Perfection. After that The Rose Croix, and then the Consistatory to get my 32°. This is all doable I'm looking at joining in February next year. 

The Oilers regular first season game for the 2025-26 season is October 8th. I'll be working that night. Most likely the Oilers will lose that one. I'll follow the scores on my cell phone. As for future games, if I'm not doing anything, I'll watch the games, but I'm not going to go out of my way to watch every single one. Anyway, that's all for now.
