We 5/1/19- Water Downstairs!

We 5/1/19- Water Downstairs!

Up 720am; to high 60's and more heavy rain is still in the forecast, yet sunny and breezy by mid morning. No seepage while I was downstairs last night, but this morning when I started the coffee I could hear 'drip, drip, drip'....Shocked! Spent just under an hour using the trusty shop vac. About one and a half empties of the vac, and I'll vac again before I leave for this afternoon's workout.
Rain (heavy!) is possible for the next SEVEN DAYS!!

Watched 'EASTERN PROMISES' (Xfinity- Showtime) An established Russian mob family operating in London is implicated in the rape and murder of a young prostitute; dir. David Cronenberg, with Viggo Mortensen/ Naomi Watts/ Vincent Cassel.

Did a second 'wet vac', then 'OFFICE UPRISING' (Xfinity) Employees at Ammotech's main headquarters become zombies after drinking 'Zolt' cola. A lame and silly zombie film- more or less a waste of time', and absolutely no new ground broken.

245pm: One more 'wet vac' and then to LA Fitness.

Water is dripping from the big pipe under the toilet. Maybe the water around Buddy's box is not his fault?

315pm: To LA Fitness.
45" Walk (THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL). 45" Recumbent Bike (Read the brochure about SIRIUS XM- there are some channels that would interest me, but I'm not going to pay when the three months are done). 45" Cross (TV News- Congressional hearings on Attorney General vs. Mueller). 30" Walk (MAISEL). 30" Cross (TV News).

Sat in the parking lot and programmed some stations to SIRIUS; Grateful Dead/ Alt./ etc.

Home to remove another full container of water from the downstairs area. No rain has fallen since early this morning. 'FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS' beginning late tonight and all day on Thursday. Fuck!!!

In the tub with 'THE BAT' and Live Neville Brothers. I'm reasonably sure that the water dripping over Buddy's area is not connected to the tub. When I flush the toilet tomorrow morning I should know more. It's possible that I need a new 'wax ring', and if that's the case, I'd spring for a brand new toilet as well.

In the living room to watch 'ReMastered- Devil At The Crossroads'. A very basic look at the life of Robert Johnson- no new ground broken. Then watched a bit of a bio of Van Morrison that blew Robert away!....Sorry, Bob. Then a doc about 'CORPORATE FM RADIO', and finally a short interview with The Belfast Cowboy from 1974 in Marin County.

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...
