 Sa 5/11/24

730am (2-LB). 810am (1-B). 1230pm (2-LB). 540pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 630am: Bright & sunny with temps to mid 70's.  

Work on the security fence next door began just after 8am. I noticed the workmen were no longer on the job by 1030am. This is strictly a 'Chuck &  Truck' operation and they showed up again late in the afternoon. 

Watched 'GOLDSTONE' (Plex TV).  A naive white cop joins a mixed race detective to stop a human trafficking ring in the desolate Australian Outback. A 'slow burn' of a 'buddy cop' film and well worth a look for the locations at the very least. 

Complaints With Plex:  There is no 'fast forward' on Plex and settings are confusing. Far too many commercials: 'Illinois: In The Middle of Everything'; 'Call Julie Before You Dig'; 'Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers' (I didn't even know they had one in Springfield, but it's out by White Oaks). 

***I tried to sign up with 'Open AI' and I lost control of the PC. Had to do the ancient 'Alt/Control/Delete'. Unnerving. 

More of 'THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601' (Netflix). Shut it down 10 minutes into episode #3. Hostage negotiation is very different in South America as compared to the US. Maybe this explains the 348 hijackings in just a few years. 

1145am: The PC is 'Off' and the plan is to hit the sidewalks and then hack some of the vegetation in the big 'flower/weed' garden in the back. {Never Happened}  

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

1245pm- 245pm: To Country Club...Parkview,  Oakmont,  Country Club,  Laurel,  Outer Park,  Lincoln, Leland,  Douglas,  MacArthur,  Wash.Pk northside,  up the hill,  Parkview,  Fairway,  and up to 940; listened to an expert on fungi & psilocybin on J.R.E. for the entire walk.

Reading 'THE LAST GENTLEMAN'

445pm: TWO MILES AT 4.1 PACE AND ZERO SLANT; began KEVIN SMITH on STEVE-O's podcast.

545pm: In the tub with 'THE LAST GENTLEMAN' and listening to GOV'T MULE- 'A Little Help From Our Friends'; ZZ TOP Playlist. 

More of KEVIN SMITH on 'Wild Ride - STEVE-O'.

More of 'THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601' (Netflix). When the hijackers are nodding on downers (slipped into their sandwiches) nobody tries to jump them? They have a fifty foot aluminum ladder on the plane? When they do jump the hijackers nobody helps the captain? Why is there no police involvement especially on the runway at the airport in Aruba? I shut it down 26 minutes into episode #4.

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...
