740am (2-LB). 820am (1-B). 1250pm (2-LB). 540pm (2-LB). 815pm (2-LB). 

Up 610am: Mostly sunny and breezy with temps to just over 80.

***Workmen arrived at 730am with the wooden panels for the security fence next door, then they left and reappeared a little before 9am. 

This morning I noticed that the 'red' light on the router has returned, but no discernible difference in performance...so, fuck it.  

Weekly Cleaning

The 'new' neighbors across the street began mowing their lawn about 10am. Some of the weeds were a foot tall yet they have the mower set for a ridiculously low cut. The lawn isn't 'trimmed', it's 'scalped'.  

Watched 'ROGUE AGENT' (Kanopy).  The film begins as an MI5 agent recruits several students to infiltrate a clandestine IRA group from making bombs. It's all a scam and the MI5 agent is a phony and he's just shaking down women for large amounts of cash. A very different kind of film and I loved it. "61" Metascore and I would have rated it a little higher...  "Everyone has a story that they want to be told".

Trinity Buoy Wharf is featured in the film: "Longplayer is a musical composition by British composer Jem Finer that plays in the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf in London, England. The composition is made with 234 Tibetan singing bowls and is intended to play continuously for 1,000 years, starting at midnight on January 1, 2000 and ending on December 31, 2999. Every two minutes, the composition calculates a starting point in each of its six pieces and plays them for the next two minutes."

There are Three Kinds of Criminals: Mad- People that are legit crazy and not responsible; Sad- people who have lived such desperate lives that breaking the law is their only alternative; Bad- people who spend their lives destroying the lives of others. They never reform and they never stop. 

More of 'THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601' (Netflix). I have left the rest of episode #5 and all of the final chapter for tonight.

12pm: PC is 'Off' and the plan is to do the weights and then hit Esporta. After the workout I'll stop at Schnucks for flowers?/ beer/ soda/ a big jar of Peter Pan. 

Weights: 3 sets/ 15 reps

1pm:To Esporta...45"Precor,  45"Treadmill,  30"Cross,  30" Recumbent Bike,  30"Precor;  watched the documentary 

'WHO ARE YOU,  JAY BENNETT? (Amazon Prime)- Jeff Tweety's friend,  musical partner and nemesis. I learned that they were childhood friends and Jay was from Arlington Heights/ Rolling Meadows; more 'Take Your Shoes Off'; 'COLD CASE FILES' (Amazon Prime)- A woman from San Francisco is raped & murdered and DNA evidence convicts her killer 14 years later.

Schnucks: $27- Natural Light,  Diet orange soda

Reading 'THE LAST GENTLEMAN'

545pm: In the tub with 'THE LAST GENTLEMAN' and listening to BILLY GIBBONS- 'Perfectamundo'; LED ZEPPELIN II; BLACK KEYS- 'Delta Kream'.

More of 'Take Your Shoes Off'

Finished 'THE HIJACKING OF FLIGHT 601' (Netflix). The whole incident was weird. The pilot lands and gets off with the two hijackers and this part of the story isn't even shown. I'd like to read a book about this incident. 

Began 'COOKING UP MURDER: Uncovering The Story of Cesar Roman' (Netflix). I shut it off 9 minutes into episode #1. A famous Spanish chef is accused of murder and dismemberment. I'm in and it's only a three part series.
