Pooboo: Our New Exercise Bike
We just got our new Pooboo exercise bike, model D518M. I don’t know why it’s called “Pooboo.” It replaces our old exercise bike, which I’ve called the Anti-Peloton in a previous post. The Pooboo came in a big box, and it’s worthwhile to figure out how to turn it upside down. That way you can…

People Remember Hurricane Edna
The hurricane season this year continues to be deadly, and they are not named after women anymore. That stopped in 1979; how and why it stopped is quite a story in itself. The latest one is named Milton, which is a benign sounding name, but the storm is anything but that. I was reminded of…

Progress on the Single Leg Sit to Stand Exercise
Well, it has been since late July since I first tried the single leg sit to stand exercise. Recall the videos of that effort? I couldn’t really do much except collapse in the chair. I’m doing better lately but it’s hard to figure why. I haven’t really been practicing that much. You’ll notice that I’m…

A Game of Darts in Frankenstein Movies
I just saw the 1939 film “Son of Frankenstein” on Svengoolie last night. There was a double feature, but I didn’t see the second movie. I’m anything but a movie reviewer and all I’m going to do is point out a parody of the dart throwing scene between Wolf Frankenstein and Inspector Krogh in “Son…

Thoughts on the Big Mo Pod Show “Funkin’ Down the Highway”
This is a post about the Big Mo Pod Show we heard last night on the KCCK FM radio dial 106.9. Incidentally, the KCCK fund drive was enormously successful this year, earning $100,000 in donations, according to Big Mo (aka John Heim) himself. One item is the cover by Buddy Miles of the song “Tobacco…

Once More Unto the Breach of the Zinus Bed Frame Assembly
We had yet another opportunity to put together a Zinus platform bed, this time for our King size mattress. That’s right; we didn’t learn from our experience a couple of years ago. We did it because we got rid of the old bedstead, the disassembly of which led to my left ankle injury in June.…

Notes on the Blues and Rivers of Whiskey
I listened to the Big Mo Blues Show last night on KCCK radio (88.3 on your dial) as I usually do on Friday nights. It runs from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm and you can learn a lot from Big Mo (aka John Heim) about the blues. He also has a podcast called the Big…

Thoughts on X-Files Episode “Sunshine Days”
I saw the X-Files episode “Sunshine Days” again last night. It’s the second time I’ve seen it. It’s about a guy who calls himself Oliver who has telekinetic power and who yearns for a father-son relationship with a paranormal researcher (Dr. Reitz) who studied him when he was a kid named Anthony. The set…

The Incredible Shrinking Headshrinker
Last week we saw the 1957 movie “The Incredible Shrinking Man” on the Svengoolie show on the MeTV channel. We’ve never seen it before and it actually got pretty good reviews back in the day. The main character, Scott Carey, was played by Grant Williams. You can watch the movie for free on the Internet…

We Got Our Vaccinations
I saw the headlines about how some people are skipping the Covid-19 and flu shots this year. But we decided to get them anyway. Sena got both but they were pretty close together and one bandaid covered them.
