Fr 4/15/23- Tax Rebate

 Fr 4/14/23

735am (B). 11am (2-B). 230pm (1-B). 440pm (2-B). 720pm (2-B). 

Up 630am: Partly cloudy with temps to about 80.

Paid Cards

Last night I noticed on Amazon Prime Music an EP by 'Captain Beefheart' that I had never heard of. The reason the music was so radically different from his usual style is that the record I was listening to was by 'Captain Beyond'. Duh. 

Watched 'OH BELINDA' (Netflix). A young self absorbed Turkish actress is cast in a shampoo commercial and she magically transforms into her character in the advertisement. Life as a middle class married woman with a husband and two young children is totally opposite of her former carefree life. A fantastic idea for a film and this was a decent effort, but it could have been so much better. Filmed in and around Istanbul, Turkey. 

10am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hack away at some of the prairie grass in the back.   

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

Cord problems: How to connect the trimmer to the extension cord?  

1120am: To Ace...Fairway,  Monroe,  Governor,  Walnut,  Ace- no adaptor for the hedge trimmer & 5 leaf bag stickers: $10- Glenwood South to Wash.Pk,  southside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940...TWO HOURS...Live GRATEFUL DEAD,  JEFF BECK GROUP, JOHN MAYALL. 

***While on the walk I got a call from Cowan Epperson;  an $11,000 rebate- $3,000 state, $8,000 fed.

When I got home I drove to Cowan Epperson to sign & pay; $230.

To County Market for flowers for the planter, but they didn't have a clerk outside so no deal.

I brought the gas can so I got mower gas and topped off the Elantra. 

2pm: reading 'MEXICO SET'

350pm: TWO MILES AT 4.0 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;  finished BIG JAY OAKERSON on TOM PAPA; began RYAN SICKLER on SKEPTIC TANK. 

445pm:  In the tub with 'MEXICO SET' and listening to the CAPTAIN BEEFHEART Playlist; JAMES GANG- 'Bang' & 'Miami'.

More of RYAN SICKLER on SKEPTIC TANK.

Netflix discs 'ELVIS' & 'CRIMES AND MISTERMEANERS' in the mail today.

Began 'ELVIS'.  This is an extremely fictionalized portrait of Elvis and much of it is flat-out untrue. Elvis as a revered and popular figure at all the black clubs in Memphis is pure fantasy. Shut it down at 51 minutes, near chapter 7.Review from The Telegraph:" it’s the most impeccably styled and blaringly gaudy thing you’ll see all year, and all the more fun for it."

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...
