I took a chance Friday and began watching a Netflix series called “Ozark” starring Jason Bateman for lack of a better TV option. Once I got into it, I completed watching the entire 2-year’s worth of episodes yesterday. I just couldn’t stop watching.
This is a continuing series which has been renewed. Without giving it all away, it’s about a financial advisor who gets caught up in a Mexican Drug Cartel money laundering operation and how it affects/changes him and his wife and son and daughter. I couldn’t keep count of the bodies.
It’s part action, drama, suspense and...! Try it - you’ll like it!
This entire Labor Day weekend has been totally rained out. Constant thunder storms, street flooding and torrential rain.
I was invited onboard a 65 foot yacht for this morning but got a call early canceling due to marine warnings of heavy seas. The yacht is owned by a dear and close family friend who moors it in Sebastian (just south of Melbourne). He was down here looking at a home that’s for sale on Star Island located in the middle of Biscayne Bay between Miami and Miami Beach. Many Sports Stars, actors and recording artists own homes on that island - prices range from 4 to 35 million dollars depending on whether the house and lot have an adjacent pier and anchorage on the bay.
So much for a 48 hour cruise to the Bahamas. We were going to sleep on board. There were 12 guests invited.

Thanks for the tip, abacomike! We just had DirecTV (we're repeat customers) installed yesterday mainly to get a free year of NFL Sunday Ticket. That opens up many new and different viewing opportunities for us.

Mike ( @abacomike) was talking about a series on Netflix, nothing to do with DirecTV. And Mike, I have had that experience before with binge watching a series on Netflix. The most recent was "Stranger Things", a great show if you've never watched it.
No, this is a receiver I was using just fine for 3.5 years, and all of a sudden, the digital circuits when haywire.
I've isolated it to the digital processing.
Onkyo home theater receivers have a known problem with the "hmdi board". No sound will pass through any of the hdmi inputs until the receiver warms up. My Onkyo was several years old when it developed this problem. I have adapted (for the moment) by letting the receiver stay on continuously (volume all the way down).
The fix for the Onkyo costs $280 out of warranty. I've been looking on Craigslist for an alternate solution.
I have been called OCD by some people, but realistically, there are often workaround, everything doesn’t have to be perfect all of the time.
On my Kubota ZTR mower the charging circuit has stopped working. Not an easy fix, involves pulling the engine. I have discovered that I can use the mower for around 2 months at a time (around 45 minutes per week) before I need to charge the battery.

Likewise. That seems the case for many/most of these cable channel and online scripted series nowadays. People seem to have an unlimited appetite for blood, gore, violence and misery. I don't get it.
I haven't seen it myself, but a friend is absolutely ga-ga over the series "Billions".
So there was a BIG reason for the Edmunds sign-up change. This morning I received a sales promotion email from Edmunds with suggestions for Labor Day vehicle purchases; two SUVs, two sedans and two trucks with savings of 30% off.
It was inevitable, the opportunity to monetize our participation in these forums was too tempting to overlook. Alas, there are no more sacred cows.
Bwia....did you think the forums were done as a public service?
It is like when I am watching the U.S. Open tennis match, and my wife says, why do they have to show these commercials. And, I try to explain, well you see, if it wasn't for the commercials....we wouldn't be watching the tennis.

You left out cars jumping over other cars and sometimes school buses and yet they continue to out run the car that is chasing it or it is gaining on the car it is chasing. Way too much fairy tale stuff for me. And if you go to the movies to see these flicks, once you are turned off and don't want to be insulted anymore, it's way too loud to fall asleep and people wonder why I watch black and white reruns of Perry Mason on MeTV. I couldn't tell you the last time I watched a show on the major networks and just about everything I watch today is put on the DVR first, so I don't have to watch commercials, even the nightly news.
This has to be an age thing because I used to like going to the movies but then again I don't remember them trying to insult me very much. Even when watching the 007, Matt Helm and the In Like Flint movies.

I just checked my email and I haven't received one of these emails from Edmunds. Maybe that is because I checked the do not disturb box. In any case nothing so far. But I am curious about those that have received these promotional emails from Edmunds.

you can also turn off some of the notifications. But like others, I am just used to the ad emails at this point, and skim through occasionally and just send them to the trash.
if you are particularly annoyed, you can set up rules to send emails from specific email addresses straight to the spam folder, never to be seen.
I’m sitting by the pool at our hotel and started browsing the old Stories from the .... thread.
Wow, some good stuff in there. Went back to around 2006... a lot of the posters are still here.

What you got there, a Motorola works in a drawer? I like old Parry Mason's too. And I like Murder She Wrote but Jessica's relatives are all getting knocked off....I think she must be the killer.
There is some fantastic stuff on Netflix, but, car chases, shoot em ups, digital readouts on bombs going off - doesn't do it for me anymore. Has to have real people in possible situations, and have some cleverness to it. SUITS has it, especially the cleverness.
Did you buy that LaCrosse with the vinyl roof off of Mordy Seinfeld? Less ostentatious than the Cadillac and might have gotten him back on the Boca Vista Condo HOA board
I had an abaco experience at the local post office. I dropped in a couple of bills and was going to get stamps out of the self-service mailing machine. I had noticed a man who walked out as I parked had carried out a small tripod like device. I thought, Hmmmm, odd that he's bring out things. Usually people take them in, use a box, tape or stick it closed and ship it.
He came back into the small lobby with a rifle case. I looked and was debating running for the door. I had unlocked the car with my remote.
Usually people don't go postal with only another customer in the post office however. He laid the case down and started unzipping it. He said something to the effect of would it bother you if I opened it and took a rifle out?
I noticed there _was_ a rifle inside! I was ready at this point for Depends...
He explained he weighed his competition rifle on the post office scale. The rifle has be under a certain weight. I suggested he should just go ahead on the scale where I needed to use the computer to purchase stamps. I'd buy stamps some other day or other week! and I headed for the door. I didn't even get to check our box for mail.
As I left he was trying to figure out how to stand the rifle on the 12 in x 12 in square scale plate.

See - crazy things happen all the time, especially if you’re at the right place at the right time. The fun stuff happens if you stick around long enough to wind up engaged directly with the “abaco” phenomenon. Most people flee those scenarios - but not the original abacomike - he dives in head first.

I haven't gone to a movie in 20 years and don't expect that to change. What's interesting to me is to watch the promos from movies that cost big bucks to produce and disappeared without a trace, when I go into my DVR and watch a TV show that originally aired 2 or 3 years ago and see ads that aired when they premiered. The studios obviously spent many 10s of millions on these turkeys and the ads for them promised all sorts of thrills but the movie was an utter failure. Hard to determine why because it seems a majority of them all rely on the same formula of CGI special effects and cartoon-like characters instead of well-written scripts. Yet some make money and some flop. To me that is the biggest change in the movie business, the decline of writing and character-driven plots in exchange for increasingly complex special effects and visual stimulation. It has zero appeal to me.
That's exactly why the Mrs., our son and I are all so hooked on the series 'Longmire'. Great script and story, acting, adventure, intrigue, romance, and, what's more, it's filmed in beautiful New Mexico!
Just got a call from my cleaning lady - yes she works all holidays except for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s so bad out with rain and surface flooding that she canceled my appointment for later this morning. Some kind of tropical storm across the peninsula is dumping torrents of rain on us.
So, I won’t have to straighten up my condo until tomorrow. I always “clean” the place up so she doesn’t think I am living in a pig sty!

The yacht is owned by a dear and close family friend who moors it in Sebastian (just south of Melbourne). He was down here looking at a home that’s for sale on Star Island located in the middle of Biscayne Bay between Miami and Miami Beach. Many Sports Stars, actors and recording artists own homes on that island - prices range from 4 to 35 million dollars depending on whether the house and lot have an adjacent pier and anchorage on the bay.

There is some fantastic stuff on Netflix, but, car chases, shoot em ups, digital readouts on bombs going off - doesn't do it for me anymore. Has to have real people in possible situations, and have some cleverness to it. SUITS has it, especially the cleverness.

Heck, I remember Maynard G. Krebs on Dobie Gillis back from the beatnik era
He came back into the small lobby with a rifle case. I looked and was debating running for the door. I had unlocked the car with my remote.
Usually people don't go postal with only another customer in the post office however. He laid the case down and started unzipping it. He said something to the effect of would it bother you if I opened it and took a rifle out?
I noticed there _was_ a rifle inside! I was ready at this point for Depends...
He explained he weighed his competition rifle on the post office scale. The rifle has be under a certain weight. I suggested he should just go ahead on the scale where I needed to use the computer to purchase stamps. I'd buy stamps some other day or other week! and I headed for the door. I didn't even get to check our box for mail.
As I left he was trying to figure out how to stand the rifle on the 12 in x 12 in square scale plate.
Little old ladies pinching tomatoes in the grocery aren't nearly as scary.

Toronto is having a bad year for murders this year....almost 90 so far. Chicago, slightly smaller has almost 900.

I haven't gone to a movie in 20 years and don't expect that to change. What's interesting to me is to watch the promos from movies that cost big bucks to produce and disappeared without a trace, when I go into my DVR and watch a TV show that originally aired 2 or 3 years ago and see ads that aired when they premiered. The studios obviously spent many 10s of millions on these turkeys and the ads for them promised all sorts of thrills but the movie was an utter failure. Hard to determine why because it seems a majority of them all rely on the same formula of CGI special effects and cartoon-like characters instead of well-written scripts. Yet some make money and some flop. To me that is the biggest change in the movie business, the decline of writing and character-driven plots in exchange for increasingly complex special effects and visual stimulation. It has zero appeal to me.

So, I won’t have to straighten up my condo until tomorrow. I always “clean” the place up so she doesn’t think I am living in a pig sty!
