I weighed 89.75 kilos before breakfast, which is the heaviest I’ve been in the morning in over a year.
I played my Gibson Les Paul Studio during song practice for the last of two sessions and it went out of tune about every other song.
My upstairs neighbour was stomping on the floor several times and knocking pieces of my ceiling down. Sometimes he does it while I’m playing music but more often he just does it because he’s nuts. He was also screaming out his window and then down on the street shouting into the traffic.
I made more sub-folders for photos in my SSD and deleted several images from my hard drive.
I weighed 90.3 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride to Brock and Bloor and then turned around because the Bloor bike lane is still blocked with snow.
I weighed 90.4 kilos at 18:15. That’s the most I’ve pushed the scale in the evening in a few years. The recent snowstorm has really cut into my bike riding.
I got a message from my daughter that she’d been billed over $50 by FedEx for the poster I bought her and had shipped from Oregon. It turns out it’s a border tax the Canadian government charges because of that asshole Trump’s tariffs. I called up FedEx Logistics and paid the bill over the phone.
I was caught up in my journal at 19:19.
I recorded from cassette tape through audio interface to Audacity and then extracted to my hard drive tape 1, side 2 of my second Slamnation poetry slam, hosted by Cad Lowlife. Tricia Postle on hurdy gurdy and Peter Fruchter on Baroque flute played the background music.
I created more sub-folders for photos in my SSD and deleted several from my hard drive.
I had a potato with gravy and a slice of roast pork while watching season 1, episode 8 of Combat.
A famous baseball player named Del Packer is transferred to K company. He’s worshipped as a hero by the men but he lives in fear of injuring his million dollar pitching arm. His first time in combat they are ambushed. He and Sgt. Saunders are being covered by Kelly and Billy but Saunders sees a German soldier circling around to get to Kelly and Billy. Saunders tells Del to take out the German while he goes after the machine gunner. But Del freezes and Billy is badly wounded. Later word comes in to Del that he can go to Special Services in London or he can stay there with K company. He chooses London but stops off at the field hospital to give Billy an autographed baseball. He finds Billy’s bed empty and it hits him hard. K company is on a mission to take out the Germans who have occupied a French winery. Saunders needs a volunteer to go with him to the winery and Del steps forward. There is a machine gun shooting at them and Saunders gets hit. Del throws a grenade from a long distance with his million dollar arm and takes out the machine gun.
