 We 4/14/21- Late night connectivity problems

945 am. 1015 pm.

Up 820 am: Mostly sunny and breezy with temps to upper 50's.

***Downstairs PC ran all night and I restarted at 9 am. There is an update on the upstairs PC that I'll do later. Downstairs seems to be OK after a restart. I am astounded that I am the only one in the entire world that has this much trouble with 'Windows Updates'. Both PC's are Up To Date...after much wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

Called Adam and the guy from Creasey will call sometime today. I have given Chris the boot.

Watched 'MUD' (Netflix). I had forgotten how good this film was. It's kind of a study of the bygone conventions of the antebellum South and especially 'Southern Manhood'..."A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"..."Women- can't live with' em, can't live without' em". Two young teenage boys (Tom and Huck?) meet a complex stranger (Nigger Jim?) who is hiding out on a river island and they help him get back the love of his life; with Tye Sheridan, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Sam Shepard, Ray McKinnon, Sarah Paulson, Michael Shannon, and Joe Don Baker. Filmed in Southeast Arkansas- Eudora, De Witt, and Stuttgart.   

1 pm: Running the Updates on the living room PC and then... 5 MILES ON THE TREADMILL at 3.4 pace and watched the next 'THEM' (Amazon Prime) and then more of DAX SHEPARD on WHITNEY CUMMINGS.

***Just before I got on the treadmill I got a call from Taskmaster to make a bid on the drywall work. He'll show up later this afternoon. No word from Creasey.

READ in the living room and finished "BLACK SUNDAY". Called Taskmaster, but nothing.

630 pm: ON THE TREADMILL... 2 Miles at 3.4 pace and finished TOM SEGURO on The Joe Rogan Experience.

735 pm: In the tub to begin "GIRLS LIKE US" and listening to THE SONICS, Best of the SMALL FACES, MANFRED MAN, HERMAN'S HERMITS. 

***A couple of times I was bounced off line, but the connection was solid and my phone was still connected. Maybe it has something to do with the Updates. I put the WIFI Card in a different slot to see if this helps and it seems to work. 

Watched 'WHY DID YOU KILL ME?' (Netflix). A senseless murder in Riverside, Ca. in 2006 and family of the murdered girl use My Space to find the killer. Two Ford Expeditions on the same street in a gang rival's part of the city, suspicions are raised, and then gunfire begins. A 21 year old woman is shot in the back of the head while her brother sits beside her. They were just going to the convenience store down the block. Years later the killers are brought to justice, but it all just seems so pointless. On that night, none of the participants could have guessed that they would be involved in a fatal shooting. It's an almost 'too obvious' story of why drugs, gangs, and guns do not mix.

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...

We 4/23/25- Gummy

We 4/23/25- Gummy 645am {I took 1/4 of a 200 mg of 'DIET SMOKE' gummy: 50 mg total}. 650am (1-LB: Cookie Bread). 910am (1/2-LB: Cookie Bread).  1220pm (1-LB: Panama Punch). 535pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker). 815pm (1-LB: Permanent Marker).  Up 545am: A mix of suny & clouds with temps to about 80. Finished 'SIGNS' (Netflix). Clearly the drama hasn't ended, and I hope there will be infinite new seasons. {No such luck. I couldn't find anything about a third season}. 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). Three high school age (?) girls take a summer holida...
