Well…the idiot trump is back at it playing little puppydog to putin and repeating his lies verbatim…an he’s back on the kick of victim blaming Ukraine for defending themselves when Russia invaded saying some bullshit about it’s wrong to defend against a country that’s “10 times bigger” than themselves…yeah, I don’t know what the hell Ukraine was supposed to do…just let Russia roll over them? Or how about a colony fighting against the superpower of the world at that time? Yeah, trump is too stupid to understand that is just what we did in the fight against England…I guess we shouldn’t have fought the Revolutionary War? Oh, and when meeting with Zelenskyy and EU leaders yesterday, idiot boy just had to call his buddy vlad to kiss his ass some more I guess. What a waste of skin…geez…
Still raining…
Well…just put the yard waste bag out and it’s still raining so I may have to re-think my schedule for the day and do the grocery run this morning if it’s still raining at 8am… but the little weather widget says the rain will stop by 7:30 so I may be able to get back on schedule and even get a beach run in today…I do really want more coffee but I’ve had my allotment for the day so I’d have to make some pour over and I don’t want to make that much effort…so I guess I’ll just sit here and wait the rain out…oh, well…
August 19th
Well…it’s spitting rain out there so I’ll be waiting to get on the bike for a bit…but should still be out and riding before 7 so I guess that’s about on time…just poured the first cup of coffee and I’m going to have at least two cups before I go out…it barely got out of the 60′s yesterday but it’s supposed to get to almost 80 today so there may be a beach trip…but my schedule is disrupted by the rain…the forecast says 100% rain with thunderstorms but the radar says it’s almost over so I’ll just have to wait it out…I did almost get through the first book yesterday and I’ll finish it up and start the 2nd this morning if it keeps raining….don’t have to cook today with stir fry and chicken taco leftovers but I do need to plan for later in the week and I have no idea what that will be…I do have a dozen eggs and I could thaw some bacon to go with them for a breakfast for lunch but that doesn’t need to happen for a few days…not much to do today…just going to ease into the day an drink lots more coffee to get me jump started…more later…
This is what an almost day off feels like…
Well…after getting the two bike rides in and an errand run, I really did take the rest of the day off and just vegged out and read…I did get 5 new books from the library today to get me through the week…it just barely got out of the 60′s today so no beach day for me…maybe tomorrow…I did get the trash packed up and out for pickup tomorrow and I have to remember to put the yard waste out as soon as I get up in the morning since it may rain and I don’t want the paper bag to fall apart…I always up way before they come to collect that stuff so that will work out…I did make the chicken tacos I marinaded overnight and I feel so bad that I can barely taste them anymore…not tasting sucks…I’ve already read 2/3rds of the first book and still have a half hour left to read so I think I go back to that now…
No sandbagging this time…
Well…after the sandbagging that the idiot trump and vance did to Zelenskyy at their last meeting at the WH, I’d really love to see them try that again at today’s meeting when all of the EU and UK leaders are going to be there, too…and many of them are there just for that reason…yeah, they will talk about the war but they won’t let idiot boy get away with any bullying…the problem was that Zelenskyy thought he’d be able to have a functioning conversation when he now knows that is impossible with the idiot trump…and idiot boy is not going to be able to lie about the meeting with so many others there…so what’s the point? After the failed meeting with putin where nothing was accomplished, you would think that the idiot would actually prepare for this one and at least try to get things done if only to put a stick in putin’s eye…but after looking like a puppy dog standing there vibrating when putin walked up to him, I guess the best we can hope for is for him to stay awake during the meeting…or maybe it would be better if he did go to sleep…he doesn’t have anything to add anyway…geez…
August 18th
Well…damn, running late already and it’s only 6:40 and that sucks…need to get going by 7 so that means hauling ass from this point forward…didn’t sleep much last night and that is going to hurt later but I’m not sure what I’m going to do today…don’t think it’s going to be warm enough to go to the beach this morning but I do need to go to the library and then to Meijers to pick up a prescription for my BP meds…and do the bike rides…it’s only 63 here right now and I did have to close up the windows since it was a little cool with a breeze blowing through here…and there is a weather change coming with highs in the 70′s for the next week starting tomorrow and I can take a bit of that…the heat and humidity has been wearing me out and I’ve been wearing out the tower fan running it all day…I’m laughing that they have an inch of rain in the forecast for tomorrow and I don’t remember them being so wrong so long…that inch of rain has been forecast for weeks and it never comes…oh, well…need to get going…more later…
Thought I was done…
Well…after getting the bike rides in by 9:30 today, I really thought I was done for the day but no such luck…okay, I really haven’t done that much but I’ve had a steady stream of thing to do…I started by getting the laundry in, then cut up some chicken and got it in a marinade to let it sit overnight and make the tacos tomorrow…then I finished off the bacon with a blt for lunch, put the laundry away, froze the chicken I need for masala later in the week, and cleaned up the kitchen and did the dishes…so little tasks that needed to be done and added up to get me to 2:30 before I was really done for the day……now I need to put the trash out since it has piled up in the kitchen and I need to scrub out the trash can and it’s top….oh, and do my weight work…so I better get my butt moving…
Tourism bloodbath…
Well…who’d have thought that antagonizing and attacking your biggest tourism customer would have any effects at all? Okay…trying to funny about a serious topic and it’s not funny at all…after all of the idiot trump’s attacks on Canada, it’s a wonder that anyone comes here from there…visits to Las Vegas from trump’s bullshit tariffs and attacks dropped by over 400,000 year over year in June, a drop of almost 12%…and car crossings into the US from Canada dropped 37% in July and air arrivals dropped 26%…and the trend continues across Europe as trips are down by almost 15%…and every travel agent polled said they are telling people to go anywhere else than the US…which they are doing, costing the US economy over 71 billion dollars in lost revenue from tourists…so far…and it’s not going to get better with idiot boy’s ICE thugs locking up tourists for weeks for the only crime of being a tourist…you know if you tell the world they are not welcome as idiot boy does every day, they are going to stop coming here and it’s only going to get worse as long as the idiot is in charge…geez…
August 17th
Well…damn, I’m getting tired of getting out of bed before 6am every damn day…I spend my days worn out and I’m tired of that, too…slept pretty crappy with getting up a few times and I’m tired of bitching about that, too…I did get out to the beach on a Saturday for the first time in a long time yesterday and it wasn’t bad…not too busy and the water was perfect…so I got a swim in and back here by noon…they have the dredge out again to clear out the channel but they are not putting the sand on the beach this time…they’re just moving it to 100 yards off the beach in a big pile…weird…finished up the last book yesterday so I’ll have a day without reading today and that is going to be really boring…will need to hit the library tomorrow and then Meijers to pick up a prescription and I’ll probably go to the beach again…it’s damn humid here again today and it’s going to close to 90 again…it did rain for about 10 minutes yesterday but most of it missed us and that sucks…need to get on the bike in a few minutes but I want a bagel first…more later…
Of course it’s a failure…
Well…after all of the breathless hype about the “summit” that was supposed to end the war in Ukraine, it turns out that no agreement was reached and putin even blew off idiot boy after the talks were done…leaving before a scheduled “working lunch” since he already heard enough of idiot boy’s blather…and this comes after the idiot embarrassed some active duty soldiers who he ordered onto their knees to unroll the red carpet for the war criminal who never should have been invited to the US…any other president wouldn’t have invited him that’s for sure…and now the spin starts with the idiot saying “it’s up to Ukraine to finish the talks if they want” since he really does think he got an agreement with putin…does this look like day one? Because that’s when the idiot lied he would end the war…and now the US looks like a much smaller country as trump continues to wreck things…what a worthless piece of shit…geez…
