 Fr 4/21/23- Mowed Lawn/ Buddy Sick 

655am (B). 815am (1-SB). 1120am (2-B). 705pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Partly cloudy & breezy with temps to upper 60's.

Watched Netflix disc 'THE NORTHMAN'.  The most accurate and realistic movie of the Vikings ever made and in the bonus features they explain how the costumes and sets were based on actual museum artifacts of the 10th century. It is the tale of a boy who is heir to the throne but his uncle kills the king and claims the kingdom. The boy vows that he will reclaim his rightful inheritance and seek revenge; with Alexander Skarsgard, Nicole Kidman, Ethan Hawke, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Willem Dafoe. 5 wins & 56 nominations. '82' Metascore. The film takes place in an area that includes modern Scotland, Ukraine and Iceland and the film was shot in Hekla, Iceland.

Borrowed Audiobook-RUNNING THE LIGHT by Sam Tallent and SAM TALLENT: WAITING FOR DEATH TO CLAIM US- 45" documentary from Hoopla.

1040am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then walk downtown to mail back the disc. I also want to check out access to the pot shop. I recently read that due to construction there isn't ample parking and you must get parking validated at the hotel lot. 

1130am: To downtown. Out & back Edwards. Pot shop parking looks OK. They're doing roadwork on 7th st...TWO HOURS; listened to audiobook 'RUNNING THE LIGHT' by Sam Tallent. The book is similar to Hunter S. Thompson and the audiobook is read by a bunch of different funny stand-up comedians (Bert Kriescher/ Ari Shaffir/ Marc Maron/ etc). 

Finished 'WOMEN WITH MEN'; the first of 3 novellas in the anthology by Richard Ford. 

3pm: Preparing to mow the lawn and all done (and a little trimming) by 4pm.

440pm:  In the tub [The Ringmaster by M. West or 'The Monkey Wrench Gang' by E. Abbey] and listening to MILES DAVIS- 'Champions'/ 'Double Image'; THE HEARTBREAKERS - 'Live AT Mothers'; L7- 'Detroit Live'; MUDHONEY- 'Since We've Become Translucent'.

More of RYAN SICKLER  on 'Hey Babe!' YouTube.

Watched a 45" documentary, 'SAM TALLENT: WAITING FOR DEATH TO CLAIM US' (Hoopla). Basically he does his act in venues that are like those in 'RUNNING THE LIGHT'. Being a comedian is NOT an easy life. 

More of 'THE DIPLOMAT' (Netflix).  I watched the complete episode #5. This whole series is exceptionally well written and I'm gonna miss it when it's gone. Three episodes remain. 

Possible Plane for Tomorrow: Edibles and then off to the Rochester library book sale.

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).
