John Wick / AVAST / passwords /Steinhafels /SOM

DAMN IT -  I was using AVAST disc cleanup and was deleting unused programs.  I had one that said I had not used it for 6 months so I deleted it.  All of a sudden CHROME is totally new with none of my  200+ links.  AAAAAAGH!! 

I felt like what balderdash looked like last Wednesday when he could not find his wallet.  Calm and collected on the outside yet panicking inside.   I did find how to revert CHROME back 2 days but things are still messed up a little.  Passwords forgotten, and all sorts of nice short cuts gone.

Then every time GOOGLE acquires a company I have to change passwords. AND COME ON . When you forget a password and press the I FORGOT MY PASSWORD surrender button the first question that is asked

What was the last password you remember

IF I KNEW THAT YOU DUMB F*CK WOULD I HAVE TO ASK YOU?  What good does that question do ANYBODY!! 

sigh!

Anyway - back on planet earth - we ordered some freakishly expensive porch furniture (all furniture is now freakishly expensive it seems - the saleswoman at Steinhafels said most couches are $200 more then last year and going up, thank you Trump and the GOP) and we were suppose to get everything my mothers day.

Obviously Mothers day came and went and I looked online and now it said delivery was scheduled "early June". WTF?  So I called last Thursday and politically correctly and WITH A SMILE, complained and got $100 off.  Then Friday 12 hours later, I get a call asking if they can deliver Monday between 9;30 and 11:30.  SURE

We get a call about 10:30 Monday saying we will be there in an hour, about 11:30. 

12:00 rolls around and I get a call.  Seems the person ahead of us canceled and the guys in the truck went back to Waukesha, dropped off OUR furniture at the warehouse and then went back delivering other peoples . . . OOPS!

So now it's today. Still 2 weeks ahead of schedule OR one week late.  I can't decide.  It takes longer to build a porch and a deck in freezing temps then to buy deck chairs and a porch couch.

sigh.

Everybody has a routine before bed . . I assume.   I read and then make sure windows are closed and yada yada and finally check email and OH OH - more road results from my Strat-o-matic team and I see I swept Scranton.

This might be good news for many people but I'm starting to feel guilty as my team is on a run of my life.  After finishing April with sweeping Green Bay in 3 games AND sweeping Seattle in 3 games I was 12-15.  NOT what I was expecting when I was bragging about how awesome my team was my team in March.

 Well . . . . . . The note From Scranton said "Two words Christian Yelich" .

What do you think of when you hear "Christian Yelich"?   His mom.

Christian Yelich's mom

But back to baseball . . . . yet another sweep by The Worthogs.  In my conference my team is 5-13.  Outside of my conference (or is it Division)  I'm 26-4 and on a 25-2 run with 6 road games to go for this month.   GULP!!

My offense AVG is .263 with the next best team at .245  First in On Base and First in slugging.

Pitching in the middle of the pack with Starters having a 2.89 ERA which has to be from my defense which at the moment as 4 Gold Gloves, 1B, 2B SS and CF with Yelich a runner up in RF.

But always looking at the future - I seem to have drafted fairly well.  I lose Freeman (1B) next year to free agency but will fill in nicely with Mancini (Balt) who I drafted 2 years ago to replace him and he has a .907 OPS which is GREAT.

SO - I'm waiting for  the worm to turn as I go back to my own division next month.

Anybody watch Black Sails?   I picked up the first season. Will start it once I get done with Season 6 of GOT.

*************************

1% of the entire population in Northern Ireland have been used in filming Game of Thrones.  The show pumped $250 million into the economy and tourism from the show pumped in another $64 million into the economy in 2018.   75% of the show was either filmed on location or on sound stages in Northern Ireland. 

Meanwhile John Wick chapter 3 finally ousted Avengers Endgame.  I never watched John Wick but from everything I have read it's one of those hidden gems and I will certainly watch it now. Plus John wick Chapter 4 is do out in 2022?   DO NOT KILL John Wicks puppy!

Any movie that will have a fight scene where John Wick is on a horse fighting ninjas on motorcycles to an awesome sound track has to be good.

I gotta watch #1 first!

Any other Keanu Reeves fans out there?  What a nightmare life he has had outside of movies.

Born in Beirut, his dad was in prison for selling heroin and abandoned his family. His mom remarried but divorced when Keanu was 7.  He went to 5 high schools in 4 years and was expelled in one of them.  He has dyslexia which I am very familiar with and his girl friend in 1999 gave birth to a still born child and then was killed in a car accident JUST before shooting The Matrix.  She was taking opiates for depression. 

And you wonder why he pretty much keeps to himself.
