😈A Story👹

Things were truly looking up last evening because I saw that I could finally be getting to bed possibly even before 11 p.m.

But it was not to be. Deviance took over my thoughts and I was not to get to bed until ... was it 12:20 a.m. or 1:20 a.m.? I cannot now recall. At any rate, I still dared to set my cellphone alarm for 6:30 a.m.

Even with such a late bedtime, my latter night was affected with very poor sleep. It's almost diabolical.

But I did rise at 6:30 a.m. and was anon able to have some backyard tool shed exercise once it was daylight. It was the usual, though ─ a mere repetition in all six sets of pull-pus and chin-ups. And then I dealt with the squats to challenge my damaged right knee and quadriceps muscles.

Back in the house, I fixed up my day's first meal and then brought that upstairs to my bedside computer to soon enjoy. I was to coincide with my younger brother as I was leaving the kitchen ─ he was almost down the stairs with a load of laundry that he was to commence taking care of in the laundry 'room'; and then he began watching T.V. news. Possibly it was around 8:15 a.m.

I waited until at least 9:10 a.m. before joining him, and quickly enough got his invitation to start working our old T95Q Android 9 TV Box.

Our first video was excellent, and was listed at close to 1½ hours (1:28:37). It had been published yesterday (but recorded two days ago) at Rumble's Action4Canada channel: Dallas Brodie: Land, Resources and Money: Theft in Plain Sight Feb 18 2026.

Dallas Brodie, MLA and leader of OneBC, joined Tanya Gaw on the Empower Hour to continue their conversation about the Indian Reconciliation Industry that is robbing Canadians of their hard-earned tax dollars, land and resources. You may live in another province and think that this matter doesn’t concern you but know that BC is being used as a testing ground for the rest of Canada.

There were more reference links at the Rumble video description, so please feel free to check it out.

We were only to watch one further show: Route 66 ─ episode 10 ("The Beryllium Eater") of the first season. My source had been uploaded December 30, 2023, to YouTube's Classic Films & Serials Now! channel: Route 66 S1E10 The Beryllium Eater (December 9, 1960).

It was nice seeing actress Inger Stevens ─ the rather sexy actress was to die in 1970 under mysterious circumstances at the age of 35, alas.

Although my brother returned to his bedroom for further bed rest, he was back out again before Bev had yet come forth for the day. I cannot recall when I returned to bed for a needed nap, but I believe that I was up again by 1:40 p.m.

Rather to my surprise, I was to find my wife home! And she was to remain, apparently having the day off work.

I saw on her Facebook account early this morning that her sons and their girlfriends joined some others in an advance birthday celebration for my wife last evening ─ I think this is the second such party my wife has enjoyed. Her actual birthday is on Sunday.

With my wife home and her bedroom unavailable for my usual light exercise session around mid-afternoon, I instead went out to the backyard tool shed and repeated my morning exercise session ─ except I performed better. I opened with three pull-ups, then had a set of just one. But in the two sets of chin-ups, I managed two in both sets. But I only managed a single pull-up in each of the two sets performed between the child's metal slide ladder that I have to use, and which I have stretched across some roof rafters.

It is not much warmer than it was this early morning when the ground was frozen! What somewhat concerns me is that with the overcast sky, I noticed while out there this afternoon that I could detect the occasional small white particle of snow falling Earthward.

Thus far we have been having the first season without any snow since that of 1982/1983, which is 43 years ago ─ I hate to see us not match that uncommon record.

Anyway, it is 5:42 p.m. right now, so I am going to break from this post until the latter evening. My wife has been busy cooking for some while, so I expect to be having a better meal than I usually do. And then I will be enjoying some T.V. here on my bedside computer along with some drinking.

Be back later!

🟥🟥🟥

My first show and beer were done by 7:19 p.m. The show was Stargirl ─ episode seven ("Shiv Part One") of the first season. My source was this TVSeries.video link.

It finished interestingly enough ─ who is this mysterious school janitor who seems potentially from the Age of Chivalry or some similar era? 

My second show and beer were done by 8:16 p.m., and I actually shed some tears towards the end of this one. The show was A Gifted Man ─ episode 11 ["In Case of (Re)Birth"] of the only season. My source was this MoviesJoyTV.co link.

I would explain the scene where my tears commenced, but the task is somewhat complex and would take a lot of description.

My final show finished at 9:17 p.m. It was Legacies ─ episode 15 ("I'll Tell You a Story") of the first season. My source was this 1Movies.bz link.

Even though it never touched me, it was a very interesting episode. All impossible garbage, but still very engrossing.

And I used a new glass for my wine. This morning I found one discarded for the garbage by (I am sure) my youngest stepson. When I picked it up, I could detect nothing wrong with it ─ a heavy wide glass with a "Bacardi" signature embossed in a raised fashion along the curve of the heavy glass. The signature looks more like "Bacardiy".

This glass resembles it ─ the signature is the same, but it does not have the printed words "Bacardi Select" below the signature:

The only flaw I eventually found after spending some while checking it out was that along the rim at one point there was a vague irregularity implying a soft chip ─ that is, nothing jagged or obvious, and perfectly smooth but for the slight 'dip'.

So I retrieved it, finally relinquishing the glass tumbler that I have been using for water and wine here in my bedroom since November 2021.

And so for Legacies, for the first time I poured Sommet Rouge wine (12% alcohol) into it, unsure how the quantity would compare to the tumbler ─ I never had the brains earlier today to compare.

Well, the tumble yields maybe a comfortable eight ounces if not filled to the brim. After drinking the wine in the Bacardi glass, when Legacies was done, I filled a regular-sized empty beer can with water and the water filled the glass virtually to the brim ─ so maybe a dozen ounces.

I had poured maybe 10 ounces of wine into the glass for the show, and thus maybe two ounces more than is the case with the glass tumbler; initially I was thinking I was short-changing myself on quantity, but I was wondering on the duration of the pour ─ it seemed longer than when I would stop in pouring into the tumbler.

Now I know ─ I poured at least 10 ounces. And I certainly can live with that! I appreciate the buzz I am feeling.

I am going to now brush my teeth and then start shutting a lot of what needs closing here on my bedside computer. I want a sensible bedtime at long last. Right now it is 10:05 p.m.
