Fadeaway

My 6 a.m. cellphone got me up this morning, but I had been awake over 1½ hours earlier and contemplating rising then to water the front yard garden areas, but I decided that it would be more beneficial for me to attempt any possible further sleep ─ I had gotten to bed last night just past midnight, and as yet my wife had not come home after working the full day at the Thai restaurant where she is employed part-time.

Some dreaming is evidence that I did finally manage a bit more needed sleep.

The front yard watering is indeed taking at least an hour now. My wife has so many fine wee plants of the flowering variety coming up that I have to water reasonably gently because they are so feeble that spray overwhelms them and they flatten out. One wispy plant that is already getting a light-mauve flower will droop just from the weight of being wet, let alone from getting sprayed with any directed stream of water.

It's becoming quite tedious.

So by the time I was back into the house it was already nigh 7:20 a.m. and I hadn't even had an aspirin and a mug of coffee ─ yet this is the time that I generally go out to the backyard tool shed for 15 minutes of exercise.

And so I had to do it without the bolstering of coffee, but I couldn't handle dealing with the squat work after the half dozen sets of pull-ups and chin-ups, so I dispensed with the knee and quadriceps work, despite how much I know my crippled right leg requires it.

I fooled myself by self-persuading that I could do those in the afternoon. I wanted my mug of instant coffee and to kick back here at my bedside computer while waiting for my younger brother to emerge from his bedroom for morning T.V.

One thing I did online was make a $135 payment to my credit card. The minimum payment due today was cited as $236, but I had already made a $200 payment May 31st. However, I don't think the $335 are going to dip the balance in the slightest; rather, I fear it will instead climb a little. But I just could not risk paying more with the fortnightly mortgage coming due on Thursday.

I am in a very bad way ─ I do not understand why I am not more worried.

My brother emerged from his bedroom around 8:45 a.m. to watch his T.V. news; I joined him shortly after 9 a.m.

I think that he may have turned the T.V. over to me before 9:15 a.m. so That I could put our R69 Plus Android 14 TV Box into action, leading off with the two most recent videos uploaded to YouTube's AnitaK channel:

🞇 PROTECTING THE VILE | The Rape Gang Inquiry Report (13:00) Uploaded yesterday

🞇 Exclusive: The ER Doctor Who Lost Everything Warning About the COVID Jabs (16:52) Uploaded earlier today

Link to Dr. Hoffe speech in Abbotford will be posted soon. Cameraman is editing.
HEROES NO LONGER by Simon Hergott, the cameraman who Global News also fired for nothing.
   • Dr Charles Hoffe of Lytton BC - Heroes No ...

I followed those with a 51-minute (51:24) video published earlier today to Rumble's childrenshealthdefense channel: Tylenol & Autism + Duty To Disobey + Sen. Johnson's Bombshell Op Ed.

Tylenol and Autism — You’ve probably heard these two words used in relation to one another, especially as conversations about medical product use and neurodevelopmental disorders are no longer considered taboo. But what does the science actually say? William Parker, Ph.D. shares the details, today, on “Good Morning CHD.”

Then: “Just following orders is not okay when it’s an unlawful order.” As we approach the June 30th screening of Duty to Disobey, we are featuring yet another individual whose life has been impacted by the military mandates, Nick Kupper. Don’t miss it!

Last: Is this, as Senator Johnson calls it, “the biggest government scandal that legacy newspapers won’t touch”? Brianne Dressen and Michael Kane discuss COVID-19 vaccine safety signals. Thanks for watching!

After that, I switched over to our T95Q Android 9 TV Box and we finished watching the movie we saw portions of both yesterday and the day before that. Specifically, it was 2018's A Wrinkle in Time.

One must indeed wonder why Disney remade the movie after having produced a previous version in 2003. Just leave that sort of garbage alone ─ it was utterly senseless rubbish. But if you are interested, my download source was at GOOJARA.to, but I see that it is presently available at this YouTube link.

The movie was followed with a 13-minute (13:23) video uploaded January 21, 2025, to YouTube's Ember channel: Alone and Wild.

A solo road trip in the Wild West of Southwest Texas! I sleep in my car, show you Big Bend National Park, then drive on dusty dirt roads to a scenic location to make my morning coffee. I hike through caves and on the edge of a cliff to explore petroglyphs. 

This area has been home to hunter gatherers for millenia, in more recent history the Chisos. Sources state these petroglyphs may date as far back as 8500 years. 

I take you around Terligua, a Ghost Town on the edge of Big Bend National Park, then I take you to a Boothill Cemetary, where I take a look at all the unique, interesting graves.

Finally, I get to submerge my body in the Rio Grande. Horses are a theme today, as I saw them on my hike to petroglyphs and at the river. A classic American West Road trip!

We were only to get about 10 minutes into a documentary before my brother wanted to return to his bedroom for further bed rest, so that feature will be awaiting another day.

By the way, my wife did have another full workday today, so she emerged from her bedroom around 9:40 a.m. to shower and such, and managed to be off on her long sunny drive not too long after 10 a.m.

When she came downstairs, she expressed, "Happy Father's Day." I don't know if she was including me (as her two sons' stepfather), but I could not resist going into the kitchen where she was readying to leave, and I pointed out that only one other person had said the same to me ─ Bev did yesterday.

The two lads in question never approached me, although the elder lad lives miles from here with his girlfriend, and has for well over a year. 

Anyway, I wasn't to my bed for my midday nap until maybe 12:18 p.m.

Afterwards, I wanted to sun; but this is also a bath day. So I decided to bath first, beginning at nearly 2 p.m.

I almost skipped the sunning, but decided to have an abbreviated session that officially ran from 3:08 - 4:07 p.m., so not quite an hour. Then I watered the backyard garden plants before returning into the house and fixing up my day's second and final meal.

By then I was too depleted and overheated to try and do that squat work, so it's off for today.

I have had my meal, and now I am taking my blogging break to watch at least two T.V. shows here on my bedside computer while enjoying a couple of cans of Cariboo Malt (7.9% alcohol).

I will finish up and publish this post in the latter evening.

●●●●●●

My first show was FBI ─ episode seven ("Fadeaway") of season eight. My source was at GOOJARA.to.

This episode turned out to be surprisingly exciting! And the conclusion was sweetly touching. I don't normally much care for head agent Isobel Castille, but she was definitely kissable this time!

And the show was over by 7:50 p.m.

My second series was Teen Wolf ─ episode six ("Heart Monitor") of the first season. My source was at Watch-TVSeries.net ... but I don't recommend it because the website likely forced a new browser window to surreptitiously open up advertising Stake gambling.

The episode was exciting enough; and Crystal Reed as Allison is so phenomenally seductive! But I am going to have to edge the episode of FBI over this one of Teen Wolf.

The show was done by 8:52 p.m., and three minutes later my brother arrived back home from wherever he had bused in the afternoon to social drink.

Instead of watching anything further, I decided to brush my teeth. And now at 9:56 p.m., I believe that I will do no further drinking (I only drank the two beers) nor show-watching.

Instead I am going to pass a bit of time here on my computer and then get to bed fairly early for a good change.
