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.
