You Do Not Know

It was disappointingly hard to sleep in my latter night abed. I never looked to see the time, though, and just endured until my 7 a.m. cellphone alarm chimed.

I made a further stab at trying to get my Windows 10 computer to download its nine essential updates that just sit at 0% of the download phase. This time I attempted to follow an eight-minute (8:17) video uploaded October 25 of last year at YouTube's Britec09 channel: Windows Update Not Working? Do This!

Windows updates broken? There are many reasons why Windows 11 and Windows 10 updates are not working properly, so today I am going to show you what you can do to Fix Windows Update Error 0x80004002 and other errors like it.

In my case, there is no error message because the stupid download programme seems to actually believe that it is happily engaged in the download process.

Unfortunately, I got sloppy working in the CMD (Command Prompt) because I was not paying sufficient attention and I wound up with far too many lines that I could not be rid of.

It was not just too many lines following the C:\Windows\System32>. Rather, I had a few of those sequences unintentionally set up awaiting data, as well as one ahead of them that I had screwed up by putting in too much text ─ I had just copied & pasted text without noticing that my copy included text for a second prompt I had intended to add.

Nothing I tried would get rid of that specific long line of text that ran into a second line ─ probably because there were a couple more opening sequences of C:\Windows\System32> that I had sloppily caused to appear. The deletions I kept reading about only seemed to work if the double line I had mistakenly created was the last entry, but the two further opening sequences seemed to prevent me affecting that earlier double-line of error.

Thankfully I was to read that entering the three letters cls after the very last opening sequence and then pressing enter would clear the entire CMD screen ─ apparently cls stands for "clear screen".

Anyway, I wasted so much time messing around that I decided to leave everything alone for today ─ I was just happy to get out of that CMD mess without any harm being done.

I had my token tool shed exercises before 8 a.m. ─ just one repetition in each of the two sets of pull-ups, two sets of chin-ups, and two sets of pull-ups between the metal ladder's side bars (I use the ladder to a child's slide, having the ladder spread across some obviously high rafters). I only held a dead hang for a 50-count after finishing the final pull-up.

Then after challenging my damaged right knee to bear as much weight as I could for as long as I could in four tries with my leg bent, I did 31 unassisted full flat-footed squats, holding the very last one for a 100-count before rising from it.

It was remarkably chilly in the shed, and the metal is getting near to being uncomfortable to handle. Once we get frigid nights, dead hangs for even a 20-count might not be possible, for I won't be able to bear the cold.

Back in the house, my brother was to emerge from his bedroom shortly after 8 a.m. to watch T.V. news shows and drink instant coffee. I waited until after 9 a.m. before joining him.

I was never sure if my wife was home or not, but evidently she was not. She hadn't come home last night. I found some video clips she had posted to her Facebook account yesterday of her and maybe two other people in a forest somewhere collecting wild mushrooms.

It makes me a little uneasy when she brings home any dishes involving these finds. I do not know who her mushroom expert is, so I am left to hope that nothing deadly is being included.

Anyway, once my brother turned the T.V. over to me so that I could operate our Android TV Box this morning, my first choice was a half hour (30:08) video uploaded yesterday to YouTube's Krayden's Right with David Krayden channel: What’s Really Happening at Universal Ostrich Farms?

This video brings you the latest news regarding the ostrich farm survival,  The CFIA's actions and the need for Canadian leaders to do the right thing is highlighted in this short informative video.

Nest was a video published yesterday to Rumble's Redacted News channel: Redacted Files: Inside America's SECRET Underground Cities and Tunnels.

What if everything you know about America's surface is only half the story? Beneath our cities, mountains, and military bases lies a hidden world -- an entire network of underground bunkers, tunnels, and classified cities built to survive nuclear war, natural disaster, and maybe something far stranger.

In this Redacted Files deep dive, Clayton Morris uncovers the secret world beneath our feet -- from Cheyenne Mountain's impenetrable NORAD fortress and Raven Rock's "Underground Pentagon" to FEMA's Mount Weather and the long-rumored network of Deep Underground Military Bases (D.U.M.B.s). We'll explore declassified Cold War documents, secret continuity-of-government plans, and the unexplained tunnel systems that stretch across the country.

Are these just relics of the Cold War -- or evidence of something far bigger? What are these underground cities really for? And why has the U.S. government spent decades -- and untold billions -- digging deeper than ever before?

👉 Watch until the end for the shocking evidence that ties it all together.

I can't recall anything special about how it ended that supposedly linked everything together.

I followed that with Resident Alien ─ episode three ("Ties That Bind") of season four.

And then in our fourth sitting, we finally got through the 1947 Western Angel and the Badman.

It saddened me to read that beautiful lead actress Gail Russell was to die at age 36 as a consequence of her heavy drinking. What a loss. But I can sure understand how she got into the crutch of requiring alcohol to function as an actress, poor thing.

My source for the movie had been published July 12, 2021, to Rumble's Classic Movies channel: The Angel and the Badman (1947) | Directed by James Edward Grant - Full Movie.

We actually got into another old black & white movie after this one, but once again had to cut it short so that my brother could have further bed rest. He was to take Bev out early in the afternoon to do some probable grocery shopping; and then after they were back while I was napping, he left afoot for a bus to take him off to engage his essential daily social drinking.

There has been very little sunshine today; my brother said this morning that the weather forecast is for some rain tonight. I have plans to be rising at 3 a.m. to make the ¾-mile round trip hobble to the elementary school playground for some exercising, so I hope it will not be in any kind of downpouring.

It is presently 6:34 p.m. and I am going to take a blogging break to have a very light supper, and then watch at least one show here on my bedside computer while enjoying a can of Cariboo Malt (8% alcohol).

I tuned in Rescue: HI-Surf ─ episode eight ("Drop In") of the first season. This turned out to be exceptionally involving for me. Normally these various rescues are of course impressive and all, but I never feel too much realism to them because I am so far removed from any kind of activity like that, I can't really relate.

But the underwater caves business ─ damn! That rescue and how the female rescuee reacted at seeing another human being surface in her airspace hit me.

It made me realize all the more that I am a useless human being with no value ─ I am of no consequence.

And so did the show's conclusion hit me, although in much in different fashion. I know I wouldn't likely be able to turn my back on the heartfelt admission of feeling for me that "Em" expressed to her former Aussie boyfriend and co-worker now engaged to be married to a rich girl whom he realized is starkly disconnected to his calling. I couldn't drive away on "Em" after that.

My source for the episode was this MovieGo.sh link.

I suppose the episode ended around 8:15 p.m., and Bev was still watching T.V. downstairs alone.

My next show ended ere quite 9:22 p.m.

I chose to watch Crisis ─ episode nine ("You Do Not Know War") of the first and only season. That was dramatically exciting throughout! I had finished my second can of beer and was sorely tempted to hit some hard liquor, but there were only five or so minutes remaining to the episode, so I rode it out.

My episode source was this GOOJARA.to link.

Apparently my brother was still not home. He did get home before my bedtime, though. So right now it is 10:08 p.m., and I am going to start shutting things down on this machine and get to bed ─ and hopefully sleep beautifully till 3 a.m.
