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.

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...
