Th 2/16/23

730am (B).  840am (1-SB). 1015am (1-SB). 1245pm (1-B).

215pm (1/2-B). 435pm (2-B). 7pm (2-B).  

Up 610am:  Overcast &  breezy with

misty rain/ (maybe) wintry mix with temps to about 40.

I settled on watching 'HERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN' (Peacock-TV),  however the picture didn't allow you to see the lower half of the subtitles so I took a (wild) chance on the first 'featured' pick at Netflix.

'2 GUNS' (Netflix).  A fine addition to the 'Buddy/ Cop' genre. A couple of bank robbers are actually undercover DEA and US NAVY agents, but neither is aware that the other one is working for the authorities.  They  collaborate on a plan to steal two million in a bank heist yet they actually get away with $143,000. It was a secret CIA account. Silly premise, but clever dialogue kept it entertaining; with Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, Bill Paxton, Edward James Olmos, and Fred Ward.

Watched 'DUCK SEASON' (Netflix). An intriguing black & white Mexican art film about two 14 year old boys who spend a quiet Sunday afternoon together at home without adult supervision. A teenage neighbor stops by to 'borrow' their oven so that she can bake a cake, they order a pizza and the delivery man stays and then they all enjoy a quiet day together. The female neighbor whips up some cannabis brownies and the kids talk, trip, and stare at a bad painting of ducks landing in a pond. "74" Metascore; 25 wins & 14 nominations.

1225pm: PC is 'Off' and will do 5 on the treadmill.

 225pm:  FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT and watched MARK NORMAND on WHISKEY GINGER. 

***I removed 5 lbs. from the weights because of continued soreness in my right shoulder. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps

Reading 'STRAIGHT LIFE'

345pm:  MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began TAYLOR TOMLINSON on HONEY DO. 

 440pm: In the tub with 'STRAIGHT LIFE' and listening to PEARL JAM Playlist; FREE Live 1971.

More of 'SMOKEBOX' with B-REAL

Began Netflix series 'HACHE' (Netflix). Another melodramatic series and this one is set in Barcelona, Spain- 1960. It concerns heroin smuggling out of a sleazy nightclub called 'The Albatross' and problems with authorities down at the docks. A young woman is prostituting herself to get her lover out of jail on a political beef. I will definitely watch more of this! Shut it down 40 minutes into episode #2.
