Th 3/12/26: Wi-Fi Down

 Th 3/12/26: Wi-Fi Down 

Up 8am: A mix of sun & clouds and breezy with temps to about 50.

Watching 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN LONDON' (Amazon Prime). Just before 11am I lost the Wi-Fi and then nothing worked. No power to the outlet? I called Dave Eiter at Tech2Door and they will call me back.

This is not helping my recovery  although the lung congestion is about gone but the depression has intensified. 

1120am:  Chris (Dave's son) called back and mentioned a couple of fixes, but no good. He said he'll pay me a visit in 10 minutes. He came over and had everything up and running in five minutes. A power surge or something affected the power. He didn't charge  me a cent.  Something is going right for a change! 

I finished the very mediocre film about the rise of London gangster Billy Hill. Not much action, just fist fighting and the occasional knifing. 

1215pm: I shut the PC down and began work on the mold in the bathroom. The plan is to spend a couple of hours on cleaning, hit the treadmill, and in for a soak. I guess I'll do the urine sample tomorrow and that is weighing heavily on my mind. I'm so glad that dire computer problems haven't been thrown into the mix. 

245pm:  I finished the work in the bathroom. I got the worst of it and it looks much, much better. When the installers get here I'll ask about applying grout on top of the stains.  

I'm going to rest for a bit and eat a couple of peanut butter & crackers. Then on the treadmill for TUESDAYS WITH STORIES. 

345pm: Treadmill...ONE HOUR AND 15 MINUTES AT 3.6 PACE (about 4.5 miles; TUESDAYS WITH STORIES; began CHRIS ROBINSON on THEO VON. 

540pm: In the tub with MURRAY LEINSTER and listening to ORNETTE COLEMAN- 'The Atlantic Years'. 

Cleaning the bathroom tiles seemed to lessen the 'black thoughts'. I'm hoping that more of my appetite returns and the plan is to try an omelet for tonight with the rest of the Progresso chicken noodle soup.{This happened} 

More of the very funny interview with CHRIS ROBINSON on THEO VON.

More 'SOUTHLAND' (Netflix). I shut it down 30 minutes into episode #4. This might be my favorite Police Procedural and I think it might even be better than Harry Bosch.

Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy

 Fr 10/3/25- Brandenburgs/ Gummy  735am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 820am (3 hits-B: Citrus Mac).  1215pm [I took 1/3 of 'VIIA' 100 mg: 33 mg total].(1-LB: Citrus Mac).  240pm (4 hits-B: Diablo's Hearse). 435pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 530pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 815pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 630am: Rain was "in the area", but missed Westview and more sunny & unseasonably warm weather with temps close to 90. {No rain in a long time & it's getting crunchy}  About 730am several 'tree trimming' trucks arrived and parked just down the street. I first thought that they were for the house across the street, but it looks like the action is farther down the road. They disappeared by 10am and I think they were at the house 'with the indoor whirlpool'.  Watched 'UPGRADE' (Netflix).  A very fine 'Dystopian/ SciFi' genre film about a couple in Melbourne ("in a not too distant future") who are in their 'auto...

Tu 9/30/25- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy

 Tu 9/30/35- Flu Shot/ COVID/ Gummy 730am (1-LB: a mix of Diablo's & Citrus). 815am (1/2-B: Diablo's Hearse). 1255pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 1pm [I took 1/2 'DIET SMOKE]. 250pm (1/2-B: Citrus Mac). 435pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 810pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac).  Up 635am: Sunny & unseasonably warm with temps almost to 90. Borrowed 'HOLY COW' and 'TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH' from Hoopla to meet my quota for September. Watched 'HOLY COW' (Hoopla). A troubled teen and his young sister try to make a go of it on their farmstead dairy after their father dies. It's got a strange tone and far from an average 'coming of age' tale. Set in far eastern France near the rural villages of Pimorin and Orgelet which are about 75 miles west of Geneva, Switzerland. "83" Metascore and I would go to "91".  Watched 'BEYOND TRAINSPOTTING: The World Of Irvine Welsh' (Kanopy). An excellent profile of t...

Th 10/2/25- WYNK

 Th 10/2/25 8am (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse). 10am (1-B: Citrus Mac). 1220pm (2-LB: Citrus Mac). 535pm (1-LB: Citrus Mac). 810pm (1-LB: Diablo's Hearse).  Up 715am: {took a dump at 4am}. Still unseasonably warm with a mix of sun & clouds. Watched 'MAGPIE' (Kanopy- borrowed 2 days ago).  It's basically a tale of 'Adultery & Revenge' although this isn't made clear until the last few minutes of the film. A wealthy couple live in a modern villa in the English countryside. He's a successful author, she is a housewife (she used to be in publishing) and their young daughter is co-starring in a big budget film that's being shot  near their home. Dad falls 'in lust' for the female star of the film, but his wife is several moves ahead. "69" Metascore and I would boost that to "80". From RogerEbert.com: "In its style, “Magpie” is a marital thriller with noir trappings galore, including an almost ridiculously convoluted (y...
