Tu 7/26/22

715am (B). 1010am (2- hits). 1225pm (1). 450pm (1- hit). 640pm (B). 815pm (B). 

Up 530am: Rain ending late this morning and temps only to mid 70's. 

I wrote up 'ANY PLACE I HANG MY HAT' by Susan Isaacs for the blog.

Watched '16 YEARS OF ALCOHOL' (Kanopy). A Scottish skinhead decides that it's time for a change and the violent behavior and drunkenness that had defined him is now over, but is he being less than honest with himself? The movie poster says 'TRAINSPOTTING' Meets 'A CLOCKWORK ORANGE', but it's really an Art Film that makes the case that a violent childhood leads to loads of misery and emotional pain; with Kevin McKidd, Laura Fraser, Susan Lynch, Stuart Sinclair Blyth, Lewis Macleod, and Ewen Bremmer. Filmed in Edinburgh, Scotland..."They say when a ship sinks, the rats float to the top. Some people look forward to that time".

***Last night I tried to watch this downstairs and had buffering problems. Downstairs PC is only 45Mbps and upstairs is 340 Mbps. I really hope that the new modem/router improves the downstairs PC. No buffering this morning, but sometimes the picture got a little grainy- within tolerance. 

I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to transfer the music files to the Toshiba hard drive, but to no avail. There is no reason that they would have made it this complicated, unless they didn't want you to do it. The majority of the music on the PC is from my discs so it's really no loss, but I would have preferred dealing with musical files instead of CDs. And I copied the latest 'CHEESE STANDS ALONE' to the external hard drive. 

Watched more of 'CHLOE' (Amazon Prime). I will save the last twenty minutes of this deep, compelling, and enigmatic series for the machines at Planet Fitness. 

12pm: PC is 'Off' and preparing for an afternoon at Planet Fitness. 

**When I used the remote to close the garage door nothing happened. I vaguely remember this when I got in the last time I drove. When I returned, it seemed to work fine. 

1235pm:  To Planet Fitness. 45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill. 30"Cross and finished 'CHLOE' (AMAZON PRIME); DAVE ATTELL & TOM SEGURA on BERTCAST; and 'BLITZED: Nazis On Drugs, Dr. Morell, Hitler's physician, PERVITIN, and began a SKEPTIC TANK. 

Peaches- I got an email from Janny that they were going to drop off a bag of peaches on the breezeway. I got home at 430pm and Ken's bag was on the steps.

On the way out of Planet Fitness I stopped at the gas station up the hill for a twelve of NATURAL LIGHT- Strawberry Lemonade... One a day for twelve days.  

The novel 'NIGHTMARE ALLEY' was in the mail and also got a notice on the homeowners insurance policy with State Farm. I called (shocked that anyone even answered the phone at 435pm...but they did) and paid $816 for the year on the Visa.

455pm: In the tub with NELSON ALGREN and listening to BLACK UHURU.

Since tonight is the last night with the living room PC I decided to watch 'The Evening Feature' upstairs. 

Watched 'LONDON TOWN' (Kanopy). An interesting 'family drama/young love' storyline cast against the backdrop of the early music scene of  The Clash. 

***Spent an inordinate amount of time cleaning the bong and replacing the screen. And, I need some kind of liquid that will dissolve the resins because the liniment (or whatever it is) is not cutting the mustard.
