We 4/3/24

 We 4/3/24

730am (2-B). 815am (1-SB). 955am (1.5-B). 1255pm (2-B). 540pm (2-B). 810pm (2-B). 

***Bose speaker bar started at 'power up'***

Up 6am: Gusty winds & wintry mix (mist?) all day with temps to about 40.

Watched 'THE WAGES OF FEAR' (Netflix). Same plot as the early fifties version, only this one is set (shot) in Morocco. An oil well is burning out of control and in need of high powered explosives  to seal the flaming geyser. They have 24 hours before the pressure becomes so great that the well will detonate and destroy the adjacent village. An armed convoy with two trucks loaded with the necessary nitro drives through a hostile desert to save the day.  It's got some interesting scenes involving gunplay with roving bands of enemy evil doers and the necessary nifty explosions and white knuckle driving techniques. {Subtitled: French} 

Finished 'MCGREGOR FOREVER' (Netflix). The series is a flat-out valentine to McGregor, but I guess it ain't boasting if you can do it. I wonder why he has not married his girlfriend. They have four children and he is a practicing Catholic. 

Watched the first episode (30") of 'FILES OF THE UNEXPLAINED' (Netflix). It's 1973 and two men are fishing and claim to be abducted by a UFO.  

***Screwing around with the Chrome Equalizer. 'Uninstalled/ Reinstalled'. It doesn't seem to provide the 'kick' that it once did. Or maybe it's me. 

1230pm: PC is 'Off' and it's a treadmill kinda day...Raw, cold, and blustery.

1pm: FIVE MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; the latest TUESDAYS WITH STORIES;  more of KID ROCK on THEO VON- 'THIS PAST WEEKEND' 

Weights:  3 sets/ 15 reps 

Reading 'FRANNY & ZOOEY'

440pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began an old 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES. 

545pm:  In the tub with 'FRANNY & ZOOEY' and listening to ELVIS COSTELLO- 'Punch The Clock'; WILCO- 'Kicking Television' Live; ELVIS COSTELLO- 'Get Happy'; JACK BRUCE- 'Smiles & Grins'.

Finished an old 'TUESDAYS WITH STORIES'.

More 'KALEIDOSCOPE' (Netflix). I shut it down at 41 minutes into the penultimate episode. There are so many excellent scenes and great character actors, but it is a 'kaleidoscope' of complexity. Maybe this will be 'Movie 2' tomorrow morning.

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 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...
