Well…after going almost the entire night with no coughing last night, I really expected to feel better today but I can’t feel it…still have a little cough and sore throat and feel like I have a cold…I did get 25 miles in again today and that was pretty normal…was able to go pretty hard when I really should have throttled back more…oh, well…I’ll do that tomorrow…so, all I did today was make some more pasta salad and then read all afternoon…I did go out to get 2 more books this morning so I have 4 to read this weekend but they have to last til Tuesday since the library is closed Labor Day…going to watch the F1 movie tonight but I have some work to do first…no rest for me…
What a petty prick…
Well…that the idiot trump is a petty little prick is on display every day whenever he opens his mouth…and he goes about revoking security clearances from anyone who doesn’t kiss his butt…he reached new depths of petty today when he revoked Secret Service protection for Kamala Harris even though there have been recent credible death threats against her…yep, I guess he is now living out his fantasy of killing his political opponents and that is exactly what this about…and gee, do you think it may have something to do with her being black? Of course it is…he hates women and blacks and doesn’t even view them as human so if she gets killed, why would he care? This action is just depraved but it is all idiot boy since he spends his days thinking only of revenge and how he can use the government to do it…this asshole needs to be removed…geez…
August 29th
Well…up at 5:14 this morning and there was really no point in trying to sleep more just like always but I’m okay with that…how else am I supposed to feel…not going to waste any energy whining about it…the bad coughing just stopped last night so maybe I’m getting over covid already? It’s damn cold out here at 47 so the rides are going to wait a while…my doctor told me to take is easier but I’m already down to 25 miles a day on the bike so that is easier to me…need to go to the library for two more books this morning to get ready for the library being closed Monday…and to make sure I have enough to read until next week…think I need to make some more pasta salad today to have that for a side for sandwiches…don’t really have a big meal planned but I should take the chicken out for Masala so I can make it Sunday…and I should take another container of soup out so there is room to make more from the two ham bones I have in the freezer…not much to do today…just need to clean and get the rides in and then take it from there…more later…
It’s all just greed…
Well…if you wonder why the repubs all support so many unpopular policies that hurt most Americans, all you have to do is look at the greed that they exhibit every day…they don’t go into politics to make anyone’s life better…they go into politics just to grift and get rich…I mean look at the idiot trump…he’s skimmed off 3.5 billion dollars since he took office and every damn one of them is trying to do the same…I mean how do you become a millionaire on a salary of 174,000 dollars a year and live in the most expensive city in the US? Bribes, sweetheart deals, and insider trading is the way of the new repub party…I mean you only have to look at brett cavanaugh to see the graft in motion…before he was a SC justice, he was essentially broke and owed a half million bucks…that debt mysteriously disappeared and now he’s worth millions…you see how that works and the repubs have corrupted government so much that this is the new way of life for them…get elected, get rich…and that sucks…geez…
Darn, it’s covid…
Well…have been coughing like crazy for the past 5 days and I just thought it was my allergies since the goldenrod is blooming along the trail…but I used one of the covid tests just on a hunch and it appears I’ve contracted covid somehow…and that is really puzzling with all of the precautions I’ve taken since 2020…I mean I never go anywhere without using a mask and I wash my hands constantly…don’t feel bad at all…just a little sore throat and the cough…since the cough started Sunday, I’ve even ridden the bike 25 miles every day with no problems…it does kind of make sense since I thought it was the worst allergy season I ever had…especially the coughing and the little sore throat but I get that just from allergies, too…I did call my doctor and they said just to drink a lot of fluids and take it a little easier and I should feel better in another 5 days or so…oh, well…not catching covid for 5 years was a pretty good run…
August 28th
Well…that was okay for me…didn’t get out of bed til almost 6am but was up and down just like normal and I’m still waiting for the day when I’ll sleep though the night and wake up refreshed…it looks like it’s going to rain a bit this morning so I’ll be waiting a bit to get on the bike but I’ll still not believe it til I see it…I’m starting to get used to the new car and figure out how to drive it…and yeah, I think the car is getting used to me, too…I am getting under it next week to find the clutch slave cylinder so I can bleed it and make the shifts smoother…and I think the computer on it is finally adjusted to being used…I really do like it and I need to clean it again after ending the beach runs yesterday…still have lots of sand in it that will have to be removed with a tooth brush since it’s in everything…I do need to clean the living room and couch today along with the bathroom and I’ll use the time from not going to the beach to do it…but I may just ease into the day since I only have the rides to do…going to make breakfast for lunch today with a ham steak, eggs, and toast but I’m not sure what the 2nd meal will be…I just know I do have to have two meals today after having only one yesterday…probably finish up the pasta salad and then take the chicken out for Masala over the weekend…no rushing today…more later…
Last beach day…
Well…after I got the rides in and the grocery run done, I decided to go out to the beach for one last time this summer…the weather is going to change and the water is just too damn cold to swim so I was getting bored with just sitting in my chair listening to the waves…and I think most of the rest of Muskegon is thinking the same thing with only two other people on the whole beach…I did get a little color that will have to keep me until next year…I will keep looking and if we get an 80 degree day in September, I may just go out but I think freeing up the two hours it takes to do a beach run will need to be used to do something but I’m not sure what that will be yet…I did get my new little rechargeable air compressor and it it really tiny but cool for 19 bucks…and it has a cool light that is white and red and flashes 2 different speeds…so I’ll have to get my tire repair tools in the trunk to go with it…okay, time to read again…
There could be a wave…
Well…with the shock win of an Iowa senate seat, there is evidence of a dem wave building in this country since we have won almost every special election this year…and that win was by a good 14 points in a district that the idiot trump won by 11 points…so I wonder if we need to call idiot boy “the anchor” since our side is tying every repub running to the idiot and his unpopular policies…and that is something we need to keep pounding on since almost 60% of Americans think we are going the wrong way with idiot boy and his minions and their incoherent economic policies…what I haven’t seen lately are ads showing the real prices and alongside of that the idiot saying he would lower prices “on day one”…but, I am heartened that it looks like our side is finding it’s voice to fight against the fascist asshole in the WH…geez…
August 27th
Well…it’s only 45 degrees out there right now so I may not get a ride in before the grocery run and I guess I’ll have to get used to that…the seasons are changing as they always do but I think it happened a little too fast for me this year…I mean I was out at the beach last week sitting in the sun and today it’s 45? Oh, well…I did get the lawn mowed yesterday so I don’t have that to do today…I do need to clean the living room and couch today but I’m not sure I want to…I’ll think about that later…allergies seem to be better this morning but they shouldn’t be so I’ll expect they’ll flare soon…not coughing so I’ll take that…need to pour down more coffee soon and wait for it jump start me to get the day started…I am going to put the top down on the car no matter what the temp is…hey, it all the way up to 48 degrees so I will get a ride in before the grocery run…after all, I got out at 47 degrees yesterday…I do need to clean the freezer at some point and with it half empty it would be a good time….more later…
A pretty good day…
Well…it was a pretty good day today and I got the lawn mowed after I got the rides in and made a trip to the library…pretty sore from that…I did see something I never see this morning and that was two cruise ships trying to come into the dock at the same time…a white one had already docked and then a huge blue ship came and had to park off the pier and wait…pretty odd…my allergies are bad again today and I’m still coughing from them so I started to take some dm medicine that helps de-congest them and that may be helping a little…but, my knee is almost healed so I guess that’s something…it was only 47 degrees when I went out for the first ride this morning and it’s only going to be a little warmer overnight tonight…I really did expect the heat to come on and it just might tonight…doing the grocery run tomorrow even though I don’t need a lot…more pasta for pasta salad but nothing for the freezer…I’m finally getting down to where there is room in the freezer but I still have lots of stuff in there that I’m going to try to use before I buy anything else…okay, time for tv…
