LISTS

A Work In Progress

Spider 3-19-2026 ?

I was too slow fetching the "catcher"

to do

• 2-27-2026 10:41 AM Call with Social Security. Mon 1-5-26 Called Soc Sec to start $255 death payment request. They set up a 2-27 telephone meeting and sent a letter dated 1-5-2026 confirming the Telephone Appointment and asked that I have a Bank Statement or checkbook where the money is to be deposited.
• 3-3-2026 direct deposit for $255 received.

Thr 2-19-2026 a very productive day

• Visit New Allstate Agent - Confirmed that me and my policies were finally transferred to the new agent. This quest started in April. Old agent for years retired. Picked the new agent because his office is by Little Ceasers Pizza
• Visit New Allstate Agent - Confirmed $30,000 content coverage of storage units.
• Visit to the storage unit - spoke to Kaylee
• Visit to the storage unit - gave her a copy of my insurance policy that shows $30,000 of content coverage.
• Visit to the storage unit - Confirmed I'm paid up thru October.
• Visit to Chase Bank - rolled matured 5 month 3.9% CD into new 3 month 4% CD.
• Visit to K&g Fashion SuperStore - picked up 3 sport coats with altered (shortened) sleeves @ $20/coat. Left on 2-9-2026 so a ten day turn around. Maybe should have gone to Fred the tailor?

Streaming

Watched tons of TV testing the new router. After rewatching the Mayor Kingstown and Longmire a million more times I tried some other stuff and took some notes. Also loved the crime and reality ID Channel shows on HBO.

• HBO Station Eleven - WTF?
• HBO Bodyguard of Lies is a 2025 American documentary film about the he War in Afghanistan (2001–2021).
• HBO Weapons (2025) is considered very scary and unsettling about vanishing children.
• HBO How To with John Wilson - revisit - can't remember why this was noteworthy.
• HBO Wilson (2017) with Woody Harrelson - maybe it's this instead of "How To with John Wilson". That's note worthy.
• HBO Vicious" (2025) is a horror film starring about a woman terrorized after receiving a mysterious box. Holy crap! It made me pee my pants.
• HBO Manglehorn (2014) with Al Pacino is a moody indie drama. Very dark. Shity man with a shity life.
• AMC Dark Winds - expected Yellowstone. It's not. On the list to retry.
• HBO It's Florida, Man. One of the dumbest series ever. I loved it. Everybody else not so much.
• Sinners (2025) vampire horror-thriller jump scares and severe, gory violence. I don't think I liked it but it's on the try again list.
• One Battle After Another (2025) critics say either best or worst movie ever. it's on the try again list.
• Paramount Little Disasters - mother accused of child abuse. I can't remember it but it made the list.
• HBO (2020) I Know This Much Is True is a 6-part HBO limited series. Mark Ruffalo, who plays a dual role as identical twin brothers Dominick and Thomas Birdsey.
• HBO (20??) True Detectives 4 seasons. Woody Harrelson, Mathew McConaughey, Jodie Foster
• Paramount (2019) A psychologist joins a priest-in-training and a contractor as they investigate unexplained mysteries.

HBO (2023) Reality

HBO (2023) Reality is a 2023 American crime drama film directed by Tina Satter from a screenplay by Satter and James Paul Dallas. It is based on the FBI interrogation. Wierdest FBI interegation ever!

Wikipedia says, ".....Reality Leigh Winner (born December 4, 1991)[5][6] is a U.S. Air Force veteran and former NSA translator. In 2018, she was given the longest prison sentence ever imposed for an unauthorized release of government classified information to the media[7] after she leaked an intelligence report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[8] She was sentenced to five years and three months in federal prison....."

lottery

Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022):Movie based on a true story, this feel-good comedy follows a retired couple (Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening) who exploit a mathematical loophole in the lottery to win millions and revitalize their small town.

Did you know that in 2023, a secret gambling syndicate won a $95 million lottery in Texas by buying every number combination possible? That’s right. They purchased 25.8 million lottery tickets, won, took the lump sum payout of $57.8 million, and walked away with a profit of around $32 million.

The whole wild story recently came to light thanks to an article by Joe Wallace and Katherine Sayre of the Wall Street Journal. In it, they reveal that a man named Bernard Marantelli, was behind the scheme.

3-4-2026 Garage Door Repair

Once upon a time ........ I saw sparks and fire come out of the 15 year old Genie Garage Door Opener so I ordered a new from Home Depot then I found out the door was broken (wouldn't go up or down without significant force. Not knowing if the door broke the opener of if the opener broke the door, I had the Garage Door Repair service fix the door and install the new opener. The spring was replaced in June 2023 but I did not buy a warranty. The repair guy asked if I was sure if I wanted him to install the opener (it's pretty easy and you've done it before). I said yes. Now if anything goes wrong I know the problem on the service company. The guy couldn't figure out my wiring so he ran new visible wires to the child safety mechanism. Easy fix but I might have to get into the hot and dirty attic.... The end.
