Th 2/9/23- Treadmill Repair

Th 2/9/23- Treadmill Repair 

705am (B). 1150am (2-B). 230pm (2-B). 435pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: Cloudy, raw, and blustery with temps to 40's.

Watched 'INFIESTO' (Netflix). A Spanish film that is set during the opening days of the pandemic, circa 2019. It's a crazy tale of what is initially believed to be a child sex trafficking ring, but evolves into the discovery of a ritualistic Satan worshiping death cult. Some of the banter was so over the top that it was hilarious, but bonus points for the intense conviction.

*** 905m: I got a call from Tony just as I began eating the rice and with only 9 minutes left on the film. I told him that 'this morning would be ideal'.  

915am- 940am:  New lower PC board & tightened belt; $75. I'm so glad that I got on the treadmill before I wrote the check because the belt continued to slip. Then, he tightened the screws and it worked smoothly. I don't really think I needed a new lower board and I'll bet if he had tightened the belt in the first place a new board would have been unnecessary. The part was free, but there's a $75 charge to call the repairman. I told him that if I continued to have issues I'd call Body Quest and find out if they would waive the labor charges.  How many visits to do a simple belt change? Total Charges: 1) First visit was free. 2) $225 for the belt and installation. 3) Installed a new lower board (free) and $75 for installation.

 955am: FIVE MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; finished KRYSTAL & SAAGAR on J.R.E. 

Decided to watch another movie since I was done with the first five miles at 1135am. 

Watched 'STROMBOLI' (Netflix). A very odd film about a woman who enters a psychiatric therapy/spa on the island of Stromboli and she meets new people and faces her inner demons. The 'insights' of the patients/ guests were hardly believable and the heroine has sex with one of the bartenders on the ferry to the island, so there is no question that the woman is slightly less than average. The single redeeming quality of the film was the beautiful setting on the island of Stromboli- due west of the 'toe of the boot' of Italy.

Watched a few YouTube videos about Russiagate and Krystal & Saagar's views on Trump's relationship with Russia. 

225pm: PC is 'Off' and will read for a bit before the final two miles on the treadmill. 

340pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began ANTHONY JESELNIK on 'Getting Doug With High'.

445pm: In the tub with 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND' and listening to REM Playlist;  THE ALLMAN BROTHERS- Live Fillmore East,  1971.

Finished ANTHONY JESELNIK on 'Getting Doug With High.

More of 'UNDERCOVER' (Netflix). I finished five episodes and there are five remaining in season #2. I just learned that this series is based on a real incident. Filmed in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.

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...
