Thursday was a warm 32C with a late night rainstorm to pay for the heat.. We always pay for the heat!
Thursday also would have been my Mom's 109th Birthday.. Happy Birthday Mom!!!
I helped Louise early in the day to hook up her air-conditioner before her south-facing apartment got too warm. I hooked hers up the same as mine after she had a look at my set-up and agreed that the permanent set-up made sense.
Bob repaid me 1/2 of the bill on his scooter and I took that to the bank for deposit. While I was there I talked to my advisor and finally got him to straighten out (read delete) the messages and restrictions on my account. Following that, I was finally able to do a Global Money Transfer to Cristina with ease... Another load off my mind....
And our Oilers scored first in Dallas and despatched the Stars to the golf course 6-3. Now onto the finals for the Stanley Cup for the second year against the same opponents, to whom we bowed out in a rousing Game 7 last year.
I just looked at the NHL schedule andI did not realize that we have home ice advantage because we had more points than the champion Florida Panthers in the regular schedule! Good!! Bring it on!!!!
Today, I wasted time until it was ready for me to wear my new green Elks golf shirt with gold pants and green sandals to cheer on the Elks against the BC Lions in their final pre-season game. I went early to browse the tailgate party in the parking lot first and had little trouble getting in with the Gio. The Elks made us stay until the final buzzer with 2 very late-game touchdowns to win 20-19. I think that I bring them good luck....
As a season ticket holder, they provided us with a cloth badge to sew onto a garment or hat. I imagine that it will go on the golf shirt...
I hope you enjoy the pictures. That was the day’s excitement.

Partial view to downtown skyscrapers 
Elks use a drone for close imaging, very low... 
Another touchdown celebration 
See the small football they throw into the crowd 
And it is final... We win!
