 We 8/9/23- Grocery Shopping;  FIVE INCHES OF RAIN 

630am (2-B).  8am (2-B). 1245pm (2-B). 550pm (2-B). 825pm (2-B). 

Up 540am: Cloudy with rain to begin later this afternoon and continuing through tonight with temps to just above 80.

***When the rain ended about 530pm there was in excess of 5 inches in the rain gauge! That was a rate of about an inch an hour & the most I've ever seen in the gauge. 

***I noticed another puddle of vomit and hairballs this morning.

640am: To County Market/ Fairhills.

$125: Put away by 730am.

Watched 'CHRISTMAS CROSSFIRE' (Netflix).  A ho-hum black comedy about a young woman who randomly meets an assistant professor of English literature for a sexual encounter. She is on the way to her parent's village in eastern Germany for a Christmas visit when they hook up and then a series of events cause them to have a run-in with a gang of crooked firemen. Mayhem ensues. Filmed in the towns of Hohenfinow, Oderberg, Bralitz, Neuenhagen, and Niederfinow, Brandenburg, Germany. Approximately 60 miles northeast of Berlin. The state of Brandenburg, Germany borders the state of Saxony and the country of Poland. Silly yet slightly entertaining. 

Watched more of 'SPOTLESS' (Netflix). Finished episode #5.

Heavy soaking rain began about 1130am.

1145am: PC is 'Off' and preparing for a walk on the treadmill.

1245pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT;. a complete TUESDAYS WITH STORIES- Mark drives an electric car from Chicago to Moline & a charging nightmare; more of MARK NORMAND on STAVVY'S WORLD. 

New Weights: dropped to 10 reps & deleted the overhead press with the barbell. 

Reading 'THE BARON' by John Creasey 

445pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; more of MARK NORMAND on STAVVY'S WORLD. 

550pm: In the tub with 'THE BARON' and listening to 'MC5' Playlist; 'IF' Playlist.

***Check for updates on the downstairs PC

       I moved the wifi connection to the front of the downstairs PC.  The difference in performance is astronomical. I should have put the connection clip in the front of the PC from day one. 

Finished MARK NORMAND on Stavvy's World and began a YouTube video on a trip through the bad parts of Detroit. 

More 'SPOTLESS' (Netflix). I shut it down 40 minutes into episode #6.

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...
