We 11/8/17- Water Heater Day

Last night I had a couple of extra beers due to the expressos and the swelling. And, the swelling has gone down considerably this morning and the elbow is nearly back to normal size. 

Up 6am and wrote up ROGUE LAWYER for the blog while listening to John P. Hammond Live on YouTube. Then watched MALL.

945am- paused the film with about a half hour to go, and went to work on the lawn. I thought that I would have to get gas for the mower, but I had more than enough. In fact, I ended up mowing most of the lawn twice to try to run out the gas tank (this will be the last mowing till Spring). And, the far back part of the lawn with the pine needles looks great with he 'double mow'. Once would require raking, but twice- the needles apparently turned to mulch. 

1115am; I had just walked into the house and I got the call from Tom's Plumbing saying that they could start early and could be at 940 within the half hour. The appointment was for 1pm.

130pm they finished up and the bill was for $1,300 plus- they needed more cash to exchange the copper piping and I got a new shutoff valve for the water. Looks great! I spent the whole time reading THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF LOVE in the living room chair. 

2pm; on the machines at Planet Fitness. 30" Walk. 3.5/0. 45" Recumbent Bike (THE ATOMIC WEIGHT OF LOVE- 'Hold That Tiger': Sonic Youth). 45" Cross. Legs/Chest.

Home to shower and then watch disc #2 of season #1, THE UNITED STATES OF TARA; only the first two 25" episodes, will save the final one for tomorrow morning. Then, the last 30" of MALL; a completely ridiculous premise. If there were a mass shooting at a mall, none of these characters would be allowed to roam at will. Way too foolish...

We 8/15/18

We 8/15/18 Up 820am; overcast, clammy, and threatening. Rain predicted all day and tomorrow- none so far; 915am. (All day and barely a sprinkle- it was happening all around us, but nothing here) Watched  'SUSPECT ZERO' (Amazon Prime) Aaron Eckhart/ Ben Kingsley/ Carrie Anne Moss.  Eckhart plays a disgraced FBI agent who is being fed information by a serial killer. Seems to be Ben Kingsley, but he's not the killer, he's an ex-agent who can do 'remote viewing'. Not bad, but close, however excellent and creative charcoal drawings as the 'hints' to Eckhart's character. Another episode of 'I'M DYING UP HERE', and then another 'GLOW'. 250PM- Drove to FitClub West, then after the workout to the County Market on south sixth for beer and some groceries- and a dependable can opener! (PS. This is a really clever design. '3-in-one design'; church key/ tuna opener/ pop top) 45" The Best Octane. 45" Recumbent Bike (b...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...
