Sa 2/4/23- Treadmill Repair/830am... 3pm-415pm: $225/ Buddy Sick

650am (B). 920am (1-SB). 435pm (2-B). 7pm (2-B). 

Up 505am: Partly sunny, breezy with temps to 50.

***I awoke to Buddy throwing up right outside the bedroom door. However, I fed him the Friskies about 520am and he gobbled it right down and even ate the crunchies. He seems in fine shape and he was resting right behind me while I worked at the PC. 

Watched 'OUT OF LIFE' (Netflix). A French war photographer is kidnapped by fighters in Beirut, Lebanon and the film highlights the psychological deterioration of his character. The terror is unrelenting as he desperately clings to sanity. This film is real and compelling and nothing at all like a 'Hollywood' film. 

***845am: I got a call from Tony, Body Quest repair guy, saying that he's having car trouble and has to get a new battery, but he's still coming over today... Mr. Unreliable. 

Began 'THE SNOW GIRL' (Netflix). I didn't expect to watch quite so much of this, but it's 1pm and Tony is still a no show. It wasn't until episode #4 that we learned that the girl was kidnapped by a couple who were patients at a fertility clinic and the girl's real mother was their doctor.  That's a bit of a stretch but the series is based on a Spanish novel. I shut it down 21 minutes into episode #5 and I might finish it off tonight (if I don't receive the two discs from Netflix that should have arrived on Thursday). Set in Malaga, Spain- On the southern coast, 85 miles northeast from Gibraltar. 

***I sent Tony a text at 110pm to ask if we're still on for the installation today.  

130pm: PC is 'Off' and will read for a bit and try to figure out what's next...'The waiting is the hardest part'- TOM PETTY...I had planned to walk to the Heartland Credit Union and see if I can get my debit card to withdraw 'free' cash at their ATM.   

145pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; Dr. Carl Hart on J.R.E. 

I had just walked off the treadmill and Tony, the repairman, was at the front door ringing the 'non-ringing' doorbell. His wife was in the car and she was gesturing to him to come to the breezeway. Tony was freaked out because the old woman's pit-bull was running wild. Such a friendly dog, but people that didn't know him are usually terrified (me too). He said that his wife 'liked to stay in the car and watch Netflix'. I did NOT invite her into the house.

Pitbull running wild

3pm-415pm: $225

 440pm: In the tub with 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND' and listening to XTC Playlist;  GUIDED BY VOICES Playlist; KING CRIMSON Playlist. 

More of SHANE GILLIS on THEO VON 

I got two discs in the mail and began the Netflix disc 'THE DUKE'.  An eccentric British man has lived 'to fight for the common man' and he 'borrows' a painting worth $140,000 from a national gallery and tries to give the proceeds back to 'the masses'. His heart's in the right place, but his head is up his ass, but it's a charming film, nonetheless. I shut it down at 1 hr. and 3 minutes with 32 minutes left to go.

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...
