Th 5/30/19

Up 615am; pretty sore today, but the knot on my left hip bone is going down. Sunny and to high 70's.

Watched 'RONIN' (Amazon Prime) Some of the best car chases ever recorded on film! Mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but I disagree. I loved the fact that 'what's in the case?' is never revealed; Robert De Niro/ Jean Reno/ Natascha McElhone/ Stellan Skarsgard.

11am: Biked to Biketek to have the wheel straightened.
He didn't have a tech on duty to work on any bike (strange!), but he said it would be ready tomorrow by 11am. A bent wheel is fixed by adjusting the tension on the spokes. No spokes were broken, but he didn't mention a price. I asked if he carried bike racks and he said that they had a very good model for sixty bucks: for two bikes. I checked online at Walmart and their single racks were fifty. I told him to go ahead and put me down for one, and when I pick up the bike they'll put the rack and the bike on the Elantra. He ordered a rack that would specifically fit the Elantra.

Walked home to read and listen to tapes in the living room for about two hours. Beautiful weather; no humidity, breezy, partly sunny- 70's.

230pm; drove to the 'Y'. 45" Walk (Reality TV all workout). 45" Recumbent Bike. 45" Cross. 30" Walk. 30" Cross.

Then, to County Market/ Fairhills for the groceries; $62.

Home to soak and more Female Empowerment Cop Drama, and listened to THE COUNTING CROWS.

Watched 'LOVING SOPHIA' (Amazon Prime) An hour documentary about a drug addicted Russian prostitute who used to be a singer in an Israeli pop group; gritty and pathetic. Then, an episode of  'INTERPOL INVESTIGATES'- A Canadian criminal flees with his teenage daughter and murders a boat owner in Europe years later.

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...

This was the quote at the end of the series: "I am the Lord who frustrates the omens of diviners and makes a mockery of magicians, who turns back the wise and turns their knowledge into folly"...Book of Isaiah. ***Phone had to be restarted because I 'was not connected to a network'.  ***925am: 'Diet Smoke' gummy order arrived on the front porch via FedEx; Watermelon/ Acapulco Gold Watched 'HOW TO HAVE SEX' (Netflix).
