Th 2/3/22- 73 Today! and more snow

 Th 2/3/22- 73 Today!

845am. 5pm (1 hit/1 hitter). 755pm. 955pm (1 hit pipe).

Up 640am: Snow to continue through this afternoon with about another inch of accumulation and temps only to about 20 degrees through Saturday. I would guess that the total snowfall for this two day event on Westview Drive would be about ten or eleven inches.

Watched 'THE OPERATIVE' (Netflix). This got lukewarm reviews (47- Metascore at IMDB), but I liked it. It's an espionage/procedural about how a woman was vetted and recruited to work as an agent for Israeli intelligence. She falls in love with her patsy while working undercover in Tehran in spite of strong feelings for her handler in the Mossad; with Diane Kruger and Martin Freeman. From RogerEbert.com:" Diane Kruger is as inscrutable to us as she is to her fellow Mossad agents and the asset she seduces in The Operative, a solidly crafted if forgettable espionage thriller."

***$18: (Happy Birthday!) Ordered 'HOW TO DO NOTHING: Resisting The Attention Economy' by Jenny Odell and 'JEFF BECK: Crazy Fingers' by Annette Carson from Amazon Books. 

Janny sent a birthday greeting and I responded.

1pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill. 

110pm: FIVE MILES AT 3.9 PACE AND 0.50 SLANT and finished MARK NORMAND and SHANE GILLIS on SKEPTIC TANK and began MATT & SHANE'S SECRET PODCAST.

Read 'GONE FOR GOOD'. 

350pm-430pm: shoveled another 5 inches off the drive, walk, and breezeway. 

5pm: In the tub with 'GONE FOR GOOD' and listening to ALBERT AYLER;  CHICO HAMILTON; CACTUS.

***Plows hit Westview while I was in the tub. 

Watched 'DISCLOSURE' (Peacock-tv).  A nine year old boy is accused of inappropriate behavior with a four year old girl. Both sets of parents try to work out a solution, but no compromise can be reached. The parents ardently believe their kids and cannot accept that they are anything but innocent angels. An interesting take on a controversial subject, but no resolution is offered and you never see what actually happened (or didn't happen). Filmed near Melbourne, Australia and the Dandenong Ranges.

945pm: PC is 'Off' and I will go upstairs and read for a while before I eat. Cracked open a new 1/8.

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 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...
