Mo 5/13/19

Up 640 am; sunny to mid 60's.

When I took out the trash, I got in the passenger seat of the Elantra, moved the seat, and the idiot light cleared. After reading the posts, I decided to try this, and it worked!

Watched, 'ROMA'  Set in the Colonia Roma neighborhood of Mexico City at the dawn of the 70's. The film documents the turbulent life of an upper-middle class family, and the action is shown through the eyes of, Cleo, one of the family's maids; shot in sumptuous black and white with a stunning concern for class and gender inequalities. The film was nominated for 195 awards and won 186 including the Oscar For Best Foreign Language Film, 2018.

Wrote the 'Weekly Wrap' to Janny.

Then I watched the first half hour of 'MY LAST YEAR WITH THE NUNS' which is a monologue by Matt Smith about his experiences of being an eighth grader in a Catholic area of Seattle in 1966.

145pm: Mow the lawn/ Hope I can get the mower started. Will try 'less gas' on the start-up. Later will head to the 'Y'. Probably too windy and cool to bike.
On the machines at the 'Y' buy 3pm. The 'Passenger Bag Off' light was off on the way, but came back on when I left. What's Going On?
45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.
Home to read downstairs to African music and the Knight's Tale is wearing thin, but I'll still give it a go.
The 'hired hand' next door is mowing the grass and he's still on the case at 9pm (dark as fuck!).

Got a check from MetLife for my one thousand dollar life insurance policy: $2,024.49. Will deliver this to Dax with the three hundred from Green for the rebate on the remote start.

In the tub with more Dark Ages Stuff and 'Treasure'- Cocteau Twins on the Altec.

'BATHTUBS OVER BROADWAY' (Netflix) During the fifties through the seventies American corporations staged full-scale Broadway productions to celebrate their products to their executives. Private shows were designed with lavish choreography and large orchestras honor ball bearings, kitchen appliances, shampoo, and insurance agents. A writer on The David Letterman Show became a collector of these old video tapes and albums of these shows; very intriguing.
