Fr 9/15/23

705am (2-B).  815am (1-SB). 1115pm (2-B). 110pm (2-B). 545pm (2-B). 825pm (2-B). 

Up 530am: Bright & sunny with temps in the upper 70's.

Watched 'A MAN OF ACTION' (Netflix). A fictionalized profile of Spanish anarchist/libertarian, Lucio Urtubia who headed a counterfeiting operation (his straight job was a builder) that got one over on Bank of America.  The gang's counterfeit Traveler's Checks were so good that banks were forced to drop this form of check and introduce banking cards and ATMs by the early 1980's. Filmed near Vigo, Spain which is on the west coast and about 20 miles from the border with Portugal. I'd give this one about a 'C-plus' because the political philosophy offered as explanation for breaking the law was far too simple; Banks Evil, The People Good. 

More 'GREEN FRONTIER' (Netflix). I finished episode #2 and the photography is stunning, but the story is lagging a bit yet still captivating. 

1055am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do Five Miles on the treadmill and hit County Market/ Fairhills for the groceries.  

1120pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; a complete TUESDAYS WITH STORIES- Joe's lost iPod earbuds on a flight; began MARK NORMAND on DeRosa & Volcano- White vs. Dark Meat.

Weights:  3 sets/ 14 reps; Dumbbells 

125pm- 215pm: To Fairhills & back with everything put away:  $117.00.

Finished 'KING SUCKERMAN' & began another novel as an ebook from Lincoln Library- 'SHOEDOG' by GEORGE PELECANOS.

455pm:  TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began SOL VOLCANO on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

550pm: In the tub with 'SHOEDOG' and listening to 'COMMODORES'- 'Machine Gun'; PARLIAMENT- 'Chocolate City' shuffled; ISLEY BROTHERS Playlist.  

More of SOL VOLCANO on 'WE MIGHT BE DRUNK'.

More of 'GREEN FRONTIER' (Netflix). I shut it down 22 minutes into episode #4. She has murdered her crooked cop partner and now is lost in the jungle but runs into a one eyed boy...Very Art House but so easy on the eyes.

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...
