No PSA til May…

Well…not sure if it’s good news or bad news but they have changed my PSA test schedule from every three months to every 6 months and I’m guessing it’s from the two that they took after the surgery that shows that it was undetectable…so, when I called my doctor this morning to schedule one, they said they have one ordered for the first week of May and I can go out to the lab any time that week…I did get the bike rides in this morning and it was a little easier than normal for some reason and I even got started a little after 7 and done by 9:30…and now I’m going to read a bit to start the afternoon…damn, it’s cold out here today and it snowed about 3 inches overnight so that is pretty depressing with the forecast of cold weather into April…brrrrr…oh, well….reading time…

No bond for you…

Well…I just started laughing out loud when I read that no bank of bonding company will touch the 454 million dollar bond that the idiot trump needs to be able to appeal the judgement in NY…and every day he can’t find someone it costs him 114,000 dollars in additional penalties…so I guess he doesn’t have the 400 million dollars in cash or cash equivalents that he bragged about during the trial…and none of the bonding agencies will take property as collateral so it really does look like he is not going to be able to appeal if he doesn’t find some way to satisfy the court…and then James will start seizing his properties in NY…and that process should start April 1st…and look, the appeal is not going to work anyway since the case against him was so strong an there were no appealable mistakes by the prosecution or the judge…your move asshole…geez…

March 18th

Well…darn, it snowed overnight and it must be a few inches and I’m so damn tired of it…so no outdoor ride again today since it’s not getting over 35 again today…I wonder where spring is? Up at 4:24 and out of be by around 6 and I am exhausted today….stayed under 1K calories again yesterday and that probably has something to do with it…and for some reason my left knee hurts like crazy today but lots of other pain so I guess that’s normal…started to clean this place up and that will continue today…need to get on the bike in 19 minutes and I really don’t want to…have been on the bike every day since the first of the year and I think I’m wearing out…and I have lots to do this week that I don’t even want to think about…then I have the yard work to get started on as soon as the snow melts…it’s another leftover day but I do need to plan meals for the rest of the week and get the freezer emptied a bit…not much to do today…just the routine of two rides and then maybe a little reading…want to finish the third book today so I can go to the library Wed or maybe even tomorrow…more later…

A strange day…

Well…it’s been a little bit of a weird day and I didn’t get much done but the bike rides since I wanted to finish up the second of the three books I got from the library…and there was a race on for background noise…my new beard trimmer came and I hate it so it’s going back to amazon this week…have already ordered a different one that will be here Friday…the one I got today didn’t cut smoothly and couldn’t be adjusted for the length I want my beard to be and it had these weird adjustments that I would never need and didn’t have a ear trimmer attachment that I use all the time on the one that broke…tomorrow I have to call my doctor to get them to order another PSA test since I’m a month past when they should have ordered it and I really want to know if the cancer is back or not…then I need to start cleaning the house since one of my sons and his wife are coming over and bringing dinner Sunday along with their dog Art…and I’ve been lazy about cleaning lately…

“There’s going to be a bloodbath”…

Well…if you heard any of the idiot trump’s speech yesterday, and I hope you didn’t, you heard him making terroristic threats against the country saying if he doesn’t get elected in the fall, the is going to be a “bloodbath” in the US…so how is this not terrorism? If you or me or anyone else stood up anywhere in this country and made that statement, the FBI would be at our doors within hours…and then we’d be in jail soon after that…but again, the criminal trump gets away with it…and his defenders spout the bullshit that it is his first amendment right to say it…but we know that the SC has ruled that the first amendment is not absolute like the right says about the second…there are limitations and when you threaten to murder your political foes, that is illegal…sow hat’s it going to be Garland? Are you going to let idiot boy continue to break the law? This terrorist needs to be held accountable and it should be today…geez…

March 17th

Well…that was better…didn’t get out of bed til 6 or so and it broke the string of 4 to 5 am wake ups…but that still leaves me with 13 minutes before I need to get on the bike…had a pretty easy day yesterday and got some cleaning done…I now have a clean kitchen floor and have started to de-clutter the dining room and living room so that is progress…slept okay last night but with too little food I’m out of energy today…I mean a half a bowl of soup and a piece of pizza is not enough to support two rides and working around here…but will I do anything about it? Going to try today…have thawed a pork loin fillet and will have it with some broccoli and a baked potato…the temps outside have crashed down to 33 and it’s not getting much warmer than that for the day today and tomorrow and I am tired of the cold…but that is going to continue the rest of the month…I need spring to come right now….not much to do today…just need to get the rides done before the truck race from Bristol comes on at 10 but I’m having a hard time getting going…but I will…now…more later…

trumpers in the government are still helping him..

Well…with the huge document dump that just happened from the SDNY to Alvin Braggs office that has delayed the idiot trump’s trial in NY which was supposed to start on the 25th of March, there are still trumpers in government doing whatever they can to help trump…and if they broke any rules, they should be fired and right now…from the start of the asshole’s term, the FBI and the Secret Service has been infested with trumpers and law breakers…in fact one FBI agent from the NY office was arrested and charged with taking bribes from the Russians…and FBI officers who were sent to raid the idiot’s tacky golf club in Florida sent e-mails bitching that they didn’t think it was right to get a warrant and raid the club to recover all of the stolen documents…one even said “just give him a call to get them back” when they knew that they had been trying for a year and trump lied and lied that he didn’t have any…we need to have a process or rules that keeps these assholes out of politics or they should be fired…as law enforcement officers, they have to uphold the law for everyone…not just the people THEY think should be held accountable…geez…

March 16th

Well…damn, out of bed at 5:14 this morning and I knew trying to sleep later was not going to work…already have laundry in the washer and will be on the bike by 7 to get two rides in by 10…doesn’t look like I’ll get outside today with the wind forecast to be 20-30 with gusts and I haven’t healed from the last time i went out in wind like that…my ribs still hurt from the last time and it still hurts to move…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’m off to a better start today…still need to do the kitchen floor and I’ll get to that after the rides…have way too much food on hand so lots of it will go in the freezer but I still need to figure out what to eat today…stayed under 1K calories yesterday and will do that again today…need to lose 10 more pounds but I’m okay with what I weigh now…I do need to buy some new clothes since my jeans are hanging off me so I need to go down to a 34 inch waist…and buy a new belt since I’m out of holes in it…I did finish one of the books I have going and will try to get another one done today…but I really have no urgency to it…not much to do today…just need to get the rides in to start the day but then it’s just a wing it day….still pretty tired and need to get on the bike in 14 minutes…more later….

A good day…

Well…had a pretty good day today with getting an outdoor ride in and may be able to do that again tomorrow but we’ll see…won’t be outside Sunday or Monday with highs in the 30′s and that is just damn cold to be out anymore…and it looks like the rest of the month is going to be int he 40′s and I hope it doesn’t go on into April…that would suck…went out to get more of the turkey from DD today to put in the freezer since I like it quite a lot…really tastes like turkey and it is nice to be able to taste something…might have to thaw a pork fillet since I have 8 of them in the freezer and have broccoli to use with it with a baked potato….need to meal plan better since I have too much spoiling food in the fridge…I guess I could eat more with getting 30 miles a day in…only had a bowl of soup and a piece of pizza all day today and that’s only about 800 cals for the day…think I’ll watch a movie tonight and get at the Oscar nominees done…and have a cocktail…

trump’s cronies are in on it…

Well…gee, another sleazy thing connected to trump and his cronies? Who would ever think that is possible? I’m sure you remember the scandal where the repubs star witness against the Biden’s was arrested for lying to the FBI…and yesterday it was revealed that Smirnov was paid 600K by cronies of the idiot trump that looks like it was part of a money laundering scheme by at least two shady companies that are owned by Russians…we already knew that Smirnov, the liar, worked for Russian intelligence who have been working with repubs in the House to try to damage Joe and get the asshole trump re elected and that has been ongoing since just before the idiot announced he was running for president…the only question to answer now is: “are the repubs in congress knowingly committing treason by helping the Russians or are they just the useful idiots that Russia is using?” Either way, a scandal of this magnitude would have ended the careers of all involved when there was patriotism still in the repub party…not anymore…geez…
