I weighed 87.65 kilos before breakfast.
I played my Martin acoustic for the second of two sessions and it went out of tune during almost every song. It liked yesterday’s weather but not today’s.
Around midday I finished painting the first coat of “blue bliss” along the trim between the bathroom walls above and the wall tiles below, plus I painted the plate of the wall outlet. They’ll need another coat when I return to the project on Friday. After that I’ll start the door frame and the door with the same colour.
I weighed 88.8 kilos before lunch.
In the afternoon I took a bike ride downtown and on the way back stopped at Freshco. I had to pee really bad and was considering going home first because the Freshco washroom had been out of order for weeks. But I took a chance and went straight to the supermarket where I found they’ve finally fixed the washroom.
All the grapes were too soft and so I just bought two bags of oranges and a pack of Sponge Towels. The towels were more than $2 cheaper because of my Scene card.
I weighed 88.35 kilos at 19:20.
I was caught up in my journal at 20:34 so it was too late to try digitizing the cassette tape that failed the last couple of times I tried.
I ate three oranges while watching episode 8 of Captain Nice on Archive.org because it didn’t come in my download of the series.
The police have a gang of bank robbers surrounded but the crooks are firing machine guns through the window of the bank at the cops on the street. They can’t get them to surrender but as soon as Captain Nice arrives and speaks to them through the megaphone the crooks give up.
They get off because they confess to the crime without a lawyer present. It was their leader Lucky’s idea.
At city hall the counsellors argue that the police force is useless because all of the crimes are being stopped by Captain Nice. A decision is made to cut the police force in half and so Carter Nash loses his job as police chemist and Sergeant Candy Cane also gets the shaft. When Carter tells his mother Esther that he’s been fired along with half the force, she is very upset.
When Carter goes to his room she takes his costume and his super power serum and heads to the Fashion Centre because tonight the Selma diamond will be on display. She plans to steal it in order to teach the city council a lesson. But Lucky and his gang see Esther in the alley and grab her because they think she’s competition. Then Lucky finds Captain Nice’s costume in her purse and he thinks she must have some connection to the super hero so they hold her hostage while they enter the museum.
Carter realizes his mother is missing and so is his costume and serum. He concludes that she must have gone to the Fashion Centre. He tells Candy to round up as many ex-cops as she can find and meet him there.
Carter sees his mother there with Lucky’s gang but she denies knowing him. She tells Lucky that Carter is her dentist. They lead her away and she tosses her purse behind her to Carter and it contains his costume and serum.
The gang steals the diamond.
Captain Nice arrives and one of the councilmen demands to know where he’s been. Nice points out that the city pays him nothing and so they are lucky he drops in sometimes. Then Candy and several of the fired cops arrive, having done a citizens arrest and taken Lucky and his gang into custody. The councilmen are reminded that the police are necessary after all.
Lucky was played by Felice Orlandi, who was married to Alice Ghostly, who played Carter’s mother Esther Nash. It was one of the rare occasions they worked together because his focus was drama while her’s was comedy. They were together for 52 years until he died. He earned a Theatre-Arts degree at Carnegie Tech. He made his Broadway debut in The Girl on the Via Flaminia in 1954. He made his film debut in Killer’s Kiss in 1955. He co-starred in The Pusher.
