Tu 2/7/23- Treadmill Repair?

 Tu 2/7/23- Treadmill Repair?

720am (B).  10am (2-B). 1225pm (2-B). 445pm (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 6am: Partly sunny with temps to about 50.

Continued 'VENDETTA: Truth, Lies, and The Mafia' (Netflix). I hadn't expected to finish this series this morning, but only the final segment remains so what the heck. The 'hero' is sentenced to a year for 'defamation of character', but he was acquitted of all extortion charges. The female judge was convicted of all charges of corruption. As the credits roll, we learn that in Italy nobody does time in jail until the appeals have been resolved, so it's anybody's guess as to the actual final verdict. Many of the recent Spanish documentary series really do a superb job of presenting all sides of the story. American documentaries seem to always have a particular bias in that the bad guys are without redemption, and the good guys are beyond reproach.  

Tony said that he would be here around 9am, but since he was six hours late the last appointment I'm not holding my breath. I just want the machine to work!

***At 9am I got a text from Tony saying that when I called the store yesterday they ordered a part for my machine. Tony will reschedule when this component arrives and I texted him back to call when it arrives. I'm not so sure that I need it and I was hoping that it was just a slipping belt or something mechanical, not a part failure. And, no idea what this will cost or if it's covered by the warranty. 

Finished 'THE GRASS IS GREENER' (Netflix). An excellent documentary and no anti-cannabis rhetoric since that's all we've been hearing for over one hundred years. Besides, everything's better when you're high. 

The plan is to leave for Planet Fitness later than usual and finish the workout so that I can buy the gift card at Texas Roadhouse right at 4pm when they open. 

1145am: PC is 'Off' and will do the weights and then leave the house so that I'm on the machines about 1230pm. 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps  

1235pm: To Planet Fitness...45"Cross.  45"Treadmill.  30"Bike.  30"Treadmill.  30"Cross.; Watched  'Bikes of Wrath' (Amazon Prime) - A documentary about five Australian bikers who bicycle from Oklahoma to California following the route of characters in Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath'; KRYSTAL & SAAGAR on J.R.E; more of JOHNNY KNOXVILLE & LOUIS C.K interview. 

To Texas Roadhouse: In & out 5 minutes: $50 gift card for The Brandenburgs.

450pm:  In the tub with 'STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND' and listening to THE 1st GRATEFUL DEAD album/ Deluxe; THE BLACK CROWES Greatest Playlist. 

Began SEBASTIAN MANISCALCO on NEAL BRENNAN- 'Blocks'.

Began 'UNDERCOVER' (Netflix). A female undercover cop is murdered and her old partner tries to find out her killer. He tracks down the last place she visited and infiltrates a Belgian saloon with an American Country & Western theme. The bar owners are also dealing illegal arms out of the Ukraine.  Shut it down 30 minutes into episode #2. This is a 'worth seeing' series and I had already watched season #1, and tonight I began season #2 and there is also season #3.

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...
