Th 12/14/17

Set living room PC to 'sleep' and schedule an update for late this afternoon to catch up on the ones that are not on the computer. I've decided to ignore this. I'm not alone and most users of Windows 7 have the same problem getting Windows to update. However, I'm getting updated on Windows Security Essentials and I think I'll just leave it at that. I wonder how long Windows 7 will be around?

But, last night I let the downstairs computer Update.....

Up 710am- just catching up on the sleep that I missed yesterday morning. 20's, but clear and calm; to about freezing later.

THE CONSTANT GARDENER (Netflix Disc). John le Carre novels have been made into films numerous times, but none have been this well realized. Because of the author's complex plotting and story lines, the films usually get confused or muddled in the presentation. Yet in this film everything is crystal clear and coherent without sacrificing the complex storyline. 5 Stars Easily!

1230pm Called New Age Tattoos and they will do a 'walk in' consultation.

115pm drove downtown to mail the disc at the Monroe PO, then on to FitClub South. 
145pm- 45" Good Octane ('Mojo'- Tom Petty &...). 45" Recumbent Bike (NEVER OPEN DESERT DINER). 45" Cross. 30" Recumbent Bike (read). 30" Cross, TV Area- THEY REPEALED THE NET NEUTRALITY RULES TODAY! Steam/ Whirlpool/ Therapy Pool.

Stopped at New Age Tattoo on the way home, and I think I'll just give Kevin a call- I think he's got the best design.

Last night I thought that I thought that I set the downstairs PC to take the Windows Update, but I guess it didn't. I'm so tired of this shit....Why do they have to make it so hard if it's supposed to be 'automatic'? Finally, after an hour, I got it back.....

 It took an hour, and I thought that I had all of last night to do this, but things are back to working smoothly, and I think that I have it set to download and install any Windows Updates automatically. 

Watching EL CAMINO CHRISTMAS (Netflix). The lukewarm reviews were right on target. I expected more from Vincent D'onofrio, yet Tim Allen was a bit more than expected. But, all in all, a pretty dull affair.

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...
