SECRET MOVIE SERIES--JUNE 2024

I went to see this "Secret Movie" offering today, Monday, June 17th, 2024, here at the Century 14 in Vallejo, CA. The price of admission was $5.00. I had a packet of Zero Sugar PK Energy Blue Raspberry to flavor my iced 20 oz/591 ml bottle of Dasani Water. And I brought a small bag of Roasted, Dark Chocolate & Chili Pepper Flavored Blue Diamond™ Almonds and 1 Lenny & Larry's The Boss Immunity Bar Peanut Butter Cup protein bar for my late lunch.

Auditorium 11, B-7

I hope that it's going to be 
a good movie!  ๐Ÿคž

The two seats to the left of mine
in Row B are just dummies.

Scene Commentaries:

Handprints. Or should that be paw prints?  ๐Ÿค” 

Her insecure boyfriend sure was a wuss!  ๐Ÿคจ

I remember back in the '60s when motorcyclists in the Philippines would carry a bamboo skewer or stick with them. They'd use it as a fuel level gauge because many motorcycles back then didn't have a fuel gauge.  ๐Ÿ˜

It's interesting to learn that a Marlon Brando movie served as The inspiration for forming a motorcycle club in Chicago.  ๐Ÿ˜€

The challenge to form a new Milwaukee bike chapter.  ๐Ÿ˜ถ

Back in the early '80s, I had a very beautiful brunette co-worker who rode a sports bike. ๐Ÿ️ Despite the fact that she didn't wear a wedding ๐Ÿ’ ring, none of the guys wanted to have anything to do with her. I, myself was intimidated by her stunning beauty, but I mainly avoided her because I only had a 70cc motorcycle back then and was so embarrassed by it whenever I was around her!  ๐Ÿ˜

I had this same exact bike in '82.
A Honda Passport C70.
It slipped from under me after
it rained in my area.
So, I traded it in for this:
An '84 Honda Gyro 50cc 3-wheeler,
thinking that it would be much 
safer to ride in inclement 
weather. I was wrong! I
rear-ended a car since
my scooter's drum
brakes were 
all wet!

I still have my Honda Gyro with a custom Honda Rear Trunk. I never got around to getting a windshield for it, though. But I haven't ridden it in almost 28 years because it only has a maximum speed of 33 mph/53 kph. And I live where there are many hills and it doesn't have the power to climb up hills! I would love to have it restored someday with a bigger, more powerful engine and a disc brake in front!  ๐Ÿ™‚

Had I known that my family was moving to hilly Vallejo, I would have kept my blue Honda Passport because it had enough power to climb up hills.  ๐Ÿ™ And it's a classic! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

Anyway ... I later learned that my very beautiful co-worker was the wife of the President of the Local Hell's Angels Chapter❗๐Ÿ˜ณ❗No wonder the other guys avoided her. And none of the IDIOTS even warned me! I could've been killed or made to "disappear"!!! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

"I saw you squaring off with them guys. What do you need to think for?"   ๐Ÿ˜Ž

"I used to be respectable."  ๐Ÿฅบ

"If they take my foot off, I can't ride no more!"

"No they don't. They're scared of us."  ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

"You can't have him!"  ๐Ÿ˜ 

The funeral home.  ๐Ÿ˜ข

I remember when the law was clamping down on Harley Davidson motorcycle riders for not wearing helmets. And some asshole came up with a design that, for lack of a better description, was essentially a beanie with a motorcycle helmet strap❗๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️❗

The deterioration of a moral code among the rank & file.  ๐Ÿ˜’

"You don't leave your friends behind."  ๐Ÿ‘

The Red Dress!  ๐Ÿ˜ง

"Go now and stay gone!"  ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

The last challenge from the Milwaukee Chapter.  ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

I don't miss the old television ๐Ÿ“บ sets. But I Do Miss The Free Channels To Watch!  ๐Ÿ˜•

Tidbits:

I bought my ticket after I dropped off my car insurance payment at the local CSAA.

Then, I walked to the Dollar Tree Store at the Target ๐ŸŽฏ Shopping ๐Ÿ›’ Center on Admiral Callaghan Lane. On my way to the store, I saw the black bunny again. But this time it was munching grass under the shade of a tree in the opposite side of the mattress store:

I

I stopped outside of the Target ๐ŸŽฏ Store to put notes on this blog. Presently, a beautiful black girl, accompanied by her girlfriend, stopped and asked me if I was okay and if I needed some help. Which was nice of her to show concern for an Old ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿผ Fart who looked like a social media Illiterate. ๐Ÿ˜ I said that I was fine.

Then she asked me, "Do you know how to dance?" And she did some dance moves. Ah, if only there was music ๐ŸŽถ and I wasn't so sweaty ๐Ÿฅต from walking in the warm early evening. I politely said that I don't dance anymore because of my bad back. That was one strange BUT pleasant encounter.  ๐Ÿ™‚

I looked for some future movie snacks to buy at the Dollar Tree Store. By some serendipitous chance, I found the 3rd item ( the one shown on the right ) to complete my Coin Bank collection:

I got all 3 of them now! They didn't have 
the 3rd one at the Dollar Tree Store 
near the Selecta Pilipino Buffet 
Restaurant yesterday. ๐Ÿ™‚

I got back to the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center and realized that the financially troubled Chevy's Restaurant is now closed!

One of the  earliest  victims of  the idiotic 
$20.00 minimum wage increase  passed
by GRABBERnor G.ruesome, the nephew 
of nazi pile-o-shit, both DEMON-crats ❗ 

The Applebee's Restaurant across the street is also struggling. And Red Lobster ๐Ÿฆž Restaurant 2 blocks up, and across the street from CSAA, is now closing too because of the $20.00 minimum wage increase that forced all of the restaurants to raise their prices AND TO TACK ON TIP SURCHARGES TO THE BILLS❗๐Ÿ’ธ❗ 


That's how it is here in the state of CLUSTERFUCKNIA❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗๐Ÿคฌ❗This socialist, communist, globalist GRABBERment is deliberately turning this once-great Republican State into a crime-infested Sanctuary SH!THOLE OUTHOUSE DEMON-crazy banana ๐ŸŒ republic❗๐Ÿ‘Ž❗There is plenty more of this insanity/madness coming if the Clueless Libertard IDIOTS are allowed to keep voting/stealing votes for DEMON-crats❗๐Ÿ˜ ❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗๐Ÿคฌ❗๐Ÿ–•❗The LOW-LIFE assholes running this state into the ground don't give a damn about "We, the People" because they serve only themselves, special interests, socialists, communists, globalists, anarchists, fascists, racists, illegals and jihadists❗๐Ÿ–•❗๐Ÿ–•❗CAN YOU SAY, TREASON, WITHOUT SPECIFICALLY SAYING IT❓๐Ÿคท‍♂️❓๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️❓

Yet, clinton; barry odumbass soetoro and Dangerous, Decrepit, Dotard, Pee-Pad, Poopy-Pants, Sniffy-Sniff, PUKE-rainian (p)resident brandon all accused Pres. Trump of being a racist for saying & doing The Same Exact Thing❗๐Ÿคฌ❗


๐Ÿ‘‰ https://youtu.be/9q8Hb_WE6Mc?si=ruAG8HVcpOA5hHtD


Unconstitutionally "Fast-Tracking" ILLEGALS & JIHADISTS so that they can vote this election year! It's the only way that the Treasonous DEMON-crats can win in ANY election, by way of CHEATING❗๐Ÿ˜ก❗

-------

After the movie ended, I walked a few times around the Gateway Plaza Shopping Center parking ๐Ÿ…ฟ️ lot. And I double-checked the Chevy's Restaurant just to make a positive confirmation. Sadly, It Is Really Closed Now---CHAINWIDE, I Believe❗☹️❗

-------

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the secret movie is what I had planned on seeing next week! This is its surprise Advanced Screening. I told 2 employees at the cinema about it. And I Saved Money By Watching Its Advanced Screening❗๐Ÿค‘❗

I'll have to let my siblings know about Monday Surprise Mystery Movies! ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ™‚ ๐Ÿ‘

-------

Here are my totals for Monday, June 17th, 2024:

10.3 kilometers 
9.37 km

My Left Foot calluses didn't bother me at all. But my Lower Back felt sore after walking ๐Ÿšถ‍♂️ for such a long distance.  ๐Ÿ˜•

Just in case you were wondering ....


R, 1h & 56m
๐Ÿ‘‰THIS was THE Secret Movie!๐Ÿ‘ˆ
❗๐Ÿ‘Œ❗๐Ÿคฉ❗๐Ÿ‘❗
And for five Buck$! That's very

ARTHUR, THE KING

I went to see this today, March 19th, 2024, a $5.50 All Day Tuesday, at the Regal Edwards Fairfield & I-Max in Fairfield, CA. The price of admission was $5.50. I brought my own 20 oz ( 591 ml ) bottle of iced Aquafina Water. A stick of Zero Sugar Pure Kick Citrus Hydrate to flavor my water with. And I also brought a Weight Watchers' Fiber One Peanut Butter Cocoa Crumble protein bar and a bag of Sol-Ti Sprouted Coconut Cashew SuperMix to serve as my lunch. 

Auditorium 15, C-10

Scene Commentaries:

Yes, your Past doesn't define you! You can wallow in self-pity or open up to a myriad of possibilities that the Future has in store for you.  ๐Ÿ˜Š

Don't they have a Topographic Map to help with their navigation? ๐Ÿงญ

It would have been a wise thing to keep their cellphones each sealed in a waterproof bag with a sling or lanyard attachment. ๐Ÿ˜• But this is just me using some common sense.

When they got to the Zipline platform, why did they not dismount as they each waited for their turn? ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

The Zipline scene is quite suspenseful!  ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

They've been jogging for hours and could still talk normally? Back in '82-'83, I jogged for 12 miles ( 19.3 km ) per day, 6 times a week and was more concentrated on my breathing cadence: 1 long exhale and 2 quick inhales. It was the only way that I could cover such a distance in the hot ๐Ÿฅต and humid ☁️ weather. And I was already acclimated to the weather! I just couldn't possibly see myself engaging in small talk or even singing to myself. And the Dominican Republic has the same kind of tropical humid weather as that in the Philippines.

How was the dog able to follow them for over 200 miles ( 321.9 km )? Inquiring minds need to know. ๐Ÿง

As a matter of Honor, I would have told the whole world who actually won the race. That's how I feel about it! Because winning is not everything; Doing The Right Thing IS The Only Thing!! And I wouldn't have been able to accept the 1st place win with my Conscience nagging at me!!!

This is a good movie to take your brats to go see. ๐Ÿฅค๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿ‘ง๐Ÿฟ

Tidbits:

Yesterday, Monday, March 18th, 2024, I used the callus file ( that I bought on Saturday ) for the first time.

The only thing wrong with the Callus File is that
it's too wide! I'll have to get the Dr. Scholl's
Hard Skin Remover ( $7.97 ), also. 

It's very good to use. ๐Ÿ‘ It has a debris-catcher for convenience. When I went to dispose the shavings, I couldn't help but noticed how they look like Grated Parmesan Cheese! ๐Ÿคข I hope that none of you guys are eating Spaghetti with Meatballs & Cheese ๐Ÿ while reading this❗๐Ÿคฎ❗

I went to the local CSAA office at around 5:30 p.m. to pay on my car insurance. Then, I went to the FedEx Kinko's at the Admiral Callaghan Lane Safeway Shopping Center to make some copies to submit to the State Government. I dropped off the letter at the Admiral Callaghan Lane Post Office.

As I walked up the steps to deposit my letter in the Post Office's lobby, I noticed across the street what looked to be an AC Cobra Race Car on a trailer bed of a truck parked next to the Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. I needed to go to the grocery store, anyway. So, it was a serendipitous occasion! ๐Ÿค—

I knocked on the pick-up truck's rolled-up passenger's side window. The driver cracked the window slightly open. I asked him what kind of race car it was that he was hauling. He didn't know. I asked for his permission to take pictures of the car. Here it is:

-
A side logo says something about a
British Race Car Club. It's not a
Cobra but they're both
British in origin.
๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐ŸŽ️๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง 

Now that we're on the subject of race cars, I think ๐Ÿค” that Team Singapore used this particular car to UTTERLY Dominate in the 24-Hour Le Cine-Man's Race, as it emphasizes Function over Form: 

This should've been what the highway patrol ๐Ÿš“ used as their pursuit vehicles! Instead of the
Dodge Charger Hellcat!! This thing
could run circles around the
Hellcat All Day
Long!!!
๐Ÿ‘ฎ๐Ÿป‍♂️
In its original form, it was powered by a
Chrysler 4 cylinder turbo engine! Just
imagine what it would be able to
accomplish with a bigger and
or better engine under
the hood❗๐Ÿ˜ฒ❗

Team Hong Kong might have started using this race car, too! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I don't mind at all. I impose no bans or restrictions--Other Than Safety--on whatever kind of hypersport race cars the competing countries put on the track! Also, electric cars are the exception: They're not designed for races that involve Durability, Distance & Quick Fuel-Ups; and are too heavy, which makes them deadly in a crash. ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Here's a 26 minute background on the Mosler Consulier GTP:


๐Ÿ‘‰ https://youtu.be/1sCnvBuDRJ0?si=99TECas-Z9Ci4cfw


It was intentionally shaped for structural integrity, serving as a load-bearing surface in the absence of a traditional body chassis. 

-------

I decided that today would be the day that I test out my Saturn SC-1's new antenna's signal reception deep in the valley between Vallejo and Fairfield on the I-80 Freeway.  ๐Ÿ™‚ It works! It pulls in radio signals. That's the good news. ๐Ÿ˜

The bad news owes to its short 13.5 inch ( 34.3 cm ) length and the spiral wound along its entire flexible length to increase its surface area. At 60 mph ( 96.6 kph ) and with a strong enough wind, it emits a low pitch staccato whistle sound caused by it being whipped about in the turbulence of the wind. And I Had Already Super Glued It Into Place So That I Couldn't Return It For An Exchange ❗๐Ÿคฆ‍♂️❗At least the whipping noise gets drowned out by cranking up the volume of my car radio!  ๐Ÿ˜•

Word of Advice: Don't buy a fender-mounted flexible short antenna with a spiral wound along its length! Buy a long skinny antenna, instead. Otherwise, wind turbulence pushing against it and deflecting against it from the windshield surface will only cause sound interference. I don't know if Lexus cars have such a problem with wind turbulence. ๐Ÿคท‍♂️

When I got off the freeway, I didn't know that the right Left Turn Lane was closed off at the next light. I only found out about it when I got on the lane. I had to wait for someone to yield to me because everyone thought that I was cutting in line! But even if there was a road sign posted at the exit ramp, there was no way that I could have ever merged into the left Left Turn Lane because the line was a whole block in length! I don't know why any repair work or updates wasn't done late at night, instead ❗๐Ÿ˜ ❗A pick-up ๐Ÿ›ป truck yielded to me; I waved him a "Thank you."

I was having the urge to empty my bladder by the time that I arrived at the theatre. And there was a long line of elderlies ( older than myself ) ahead of me at the Cash Only register! I asked the other cashier who didn't have a line if he could give me an exception and sell me a ticket even though his line was only for card purchases. He said that he couldn't accommodate me. After waiting for a few more minutes, I was able to get a ticket!  ๐ŸŽซ I headed for the men's room to empty my bladder and noticed that there were no longer any movie patrons at the box office counter❗๐Ÿ™„❗

As youtube's World Famous Auto Mechanic Scotty Kilmer would say, "Rev up your engines❗❗❗"
