Th 7/28/22- Tech2Door- Broken Blade

 Th 7/28/22

935am (B). 12pm (2- hits; gr/wh). 5pm (1- hit). 7pm (B). 

Up 530am: Foggy early and partly cloudy with temps to the lower 80's.

6am-645am- I did the morning routine and then used the downstairs PC. I noticed that on this machine the speaker bar runs continuously. When Christian arrives I will be asking about this. 

1) Noise that the upstairs PC made while running Windows Updates

2) Problem with the speaker bar upstairs

3) Can he use the solution to the upstairs PC to remedy the problem with the sound bar downstairs.

Reading 'THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM'  by NELSON ALGREN 

***Broken Blade- Christian arrived right at 8am and immediately recognized that a broken fan blade was what was causing the racket on the upstairs PC.  I thought that this meant that I'd have to drive back to BLH, but he was able to take it apart and remove the broken piece. $240 was the total bill for all of his work. 

Spent time messing around trying to change the background colors and finally got it right. 

Began 'UMMA' (Netflix). A reclusive woman and her daughter face change. Mom wants her to stay and help run the honey business, and the daughter wants to go to college. It's really about the relationship between a mother and daughter, but they added an element of horror when Mom's mom visits as a ghost; with Dermot Mulroney, Fivel Stewart, and Sandra Oh (executive producer). 

1130am: PC is 'Off' (1st time!) and the plan is to go to Rexx Batteries for garage remotes and then to Xfinity to return the modem and then to Planet Fitness. 

1210pm: I'm off. I drove out Jefferson/Madison to Rexx and the guy disassembled all the remotes and replaced all the batteries. It cost $20. I took Dirksen south to Rt 55/72 at Stevenson. And, no problem dropping off the modem at Xfinity. Guy gave me a receipt and it's in the drawer with the calendar. I was on the road for a little over an hour and I can't remember the last time that I was in the car for that long. Listened to the Reggae of YELLOWMAN.  

110pm Planet Fitness 45"Cross. 45" Treadmill. 30" Bike. 30" Treadmill. 30" Cross.  

***Return modem to Xfinity 

***Bring TV and speaker bar with garage remotes to battery store

Powerline Adapter.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike. 30"Treadmill. 30"Cross and binged 'THE MOST HATED MAN ON THE INTERNET (NETFLIX). Hunter Moore; ' IsAnyoneUp, and more of BRENDAN SAGALOW on SKEPTIC, and began another TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'.

510pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN and listening to GENESIS; BLUE CHEER;  ELECTRIC PRUNES. 

When I powered up the downstairs PC asked me to 'restart'. It took a while, but when I ran a Speed Test it was over 125!

Watched more of TUESDAYS WITH STORIES and the last hour of 'THE MOST HATED MAN ON THE INTERNET (Netflix), Hunter Moore got 30 months and his hacker/partner got twenty-five. 

Began the first sixteen minutes of 'HOW I FELL IN LOVE WITH A GANGSTER (Netflix).  Although almost three hours, this Polish gangster film might be a surprise hit.

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...

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...
