Well…up and moving a little after 5…again…but today is going to be an easy one with the rain keeping me off the outdoor bike so all I have to do is the weight work and one indoor ride and that means I’ll be done before 8:30 or so…didn’t eat much yesterday but 2 pieces of pizza but I’m having a bagel to get the day started today…but not for a while…need to drown myself in coffee first or I just won’t get started…going to have to get off my butt and get the lawnmower fixed so I can start on the yard work soon but I think I can put that off for a few days…and just live for a while…not sure what I’m going to cook today but it will probably be just heating up some leftover pizza…don’t really feel like making mashed potatoes to go with the ham so that will wait til tomorrow…not much to do today…just going to get the normal stuff done and then clean a bit…it’s raining and almost cold enough for it to be snow and that sucks on April 2nd…more later…

Moon launch at 6:24 today…
Well…I almost forgot about the Artemis II moon launch today where they are sending 4 astronauts for a loop around the back of the moon and then back here…the flight is supposed to last until the 9th and it will be so cool to see a rocket launch that has nothing to do with ole elon…didn’t get much done today but the exercise but no outdoor ride since it’s still just a bit above 40 here and I’m not going to be that cold anymore…supposed to start raining later tonight and rain all day tomorrow and tomorrow night with some storms thrown in…so it will be indoor rides for the next few days…I did get another BAH at Meijers this morning and I picked up a 10 pound bag of potatoes at aldis for only 2.79 so I’m good on them for a while…used my next to last frozen pizza today so that means it will be a one meal day for me…didn’t even have a bagel for lunch so I can make a snack later…okay, back to reading…
Idiot boy keeps on losing…
Well…in a ruling yesterday a Bush appointed judge just called a halt to idiot boy’s tacky ballroom saying that it is permanently stopped unless congress approves it…and the judge went on to tell the moron in chief that he doesn’t own the WH or the property he is trying to build on…it belongs to the people of the US and he is enjoined from making any other changes to the complex unless he follows the law…and that goes along with another ruling from a judge yesterday that said he can’t end funding for PBS or NPR as he did with an executive order…so now they have to be funded to the level that they were before he was elected…this goes with another loss when he tried to end mail in voting the same way and a judge told him the executive branch has no role in elections since they are run by the states and that makes this EO worth the toilet paper it written on…so much losing and so many grounds for impeachment next January…geez…
April 1st
Well… up and out of bed by 5:27 this morning and that followed waking up at 3 or so…and that’s wearing me out. ..the weather is going to suck for spring and we’re not going to get to 60 until late April and that’s just not right…so I won’t be out on the bike in shorts again until May…ick…didn’t get a thing done yesterday but I need to get moving now since I’m doing the grocery run this morning and need to get the weight work done and a ride in downstairs before that…and then I need to plan on some cleaning…still have 2 books to read out of this set so it looks like I won’t be hitting the library til Friday or maybe I’ll wait til Monday to give me time to do other stuff…got the laundry done yesterday so maybe I’ll paint the patches downstairs today and see if the paint really works…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get moving right now and I’m tired of that every day…more later….
2 storms…
Well…the second storm of the day is rolling through here and the lights just blinked and I don’t like that one bit…at least it’s still over 50 and the furnace hasn’t been on all day for the first time this year…I did get out on the outdoor bike in shorts today but it really wasn’t pleasant when I forgot that the temp is 10 degrees colder out at the lake…so I cut the water stop short and got to the north side of the dunes where it was warmer…the detour route isn’t bad but going the wrong way through the tunnel of trees is a little weird…my legs held up a lot better with just a little stiffness but my right thumb has been howling all day so I’ll hit it with some voltaren soon…can’t pass up protein at 85 cents a pound so I’ll be getting another ham tomorrow since the pork shoulder is no longer on sale…darn…and that means I only have to make mashed potatoes again and I’ll be eating for another week…okay, want to finish the book I’ve got going…
They need to remember this…
Well…with all of the criminal behavior that is going on with the idiot trump’s minions, something they need to remember is that the SC granted immunity only to the president…so every grift and crime will be dealt with when we take back the government in ’28…and when we do, every damn one of these assholes will be prosecuted and you can be damn sure that no dem president is going to pardon one of them…and even the NYT had an article that highlighted idiot boy’s abuse of the pardon power…I mean the ex president of Honduras who imported over 300 tons of drugs into the US…or all 1,500 of the traitors who attacked the capital on January 6th? This asshole has torn down every guardrail there was and we are going to have to rebuild them with concrete so they can never be torn down again…geez…
March 31st
Well…another month ends and I don’t know how I feel about it…it sure feels like time passing has a finite edge to it as I get older and there is an end that I can see coming…didn’t drag my butt out of bed til 6 or so this morning and I feel like I’m running behind as I always do…the weather forecast has changed from the 6 inches of snow that was supposed to come Thursday to an inch of rain instead and I’m okay with that…it would be warm enough to get out on the bike right now but it is going to be raining for a few hours so I guess I’ll do an indoor ride to start the day and maybe get outside after lunch…need to check on the cement patches I did downstairs to see if they are dry enough to paint…would like to get that done today…Meijers has pork shoulder on sale for 1.49 a pound and I am going to get one of those tomorrow if they have them…but they haven’t been following their ad prices lately and will either not have them or have a higher price and that sucks…I guess I can buy another ham at 85 cents a pound if they don’t….more later…
First 25 mile day…
Well…finally, I got two rides in outdoors today for the first 25 mile day…I think I’ll be paying for it tomorrow but that’s okay…and it was the first day this year I didn’t ride the indoor bike and I was done with them before 10am…not too cold out there but it was still in the 40’s and I know how to dress for that…I measured the new detour route and with riding the tunnel of trees both ways, the new route is the same 12.5 miles as the old one so that is cool…I did see a duck perching on the railing of the boardwalk and I’ve never seen that before…usually the ducks stay on the other side of the dunes in Muskegon Lake where their food supply is…weird…okay, back to reading..
How cruel and stupid are these people?
Well…with congress balking at funding the idiot’s stupid war with 200 billion dollars, the repubs have started to float other ways to pay for it starting with cutting all ACA subsidies that would throw at least 300,000 people off their healthcare and make the affordibility crisis even worse…and who is so stupid and cruel to try to pass something like this for an extremely unpopular war started by the least popular “president” in history? I appears like the repubs are trying to lose even bigger in the mid terms than they already are and the callousness of this idea just exposes who they really are…they don’t give a damn about what Americans are going through with gas prices costing consumers 8-10 billion dollars a day and with a looming recession across the world caused by one person…let that soak in a bit…this war doesn’t have the approval of congress so it is all the idiot trump’s fault…is that not fan impeachable offense? Sure looks like it to me…geez…
March 30th
Well…another day of out of bed before 6 and I feel pretty worn out from it…just poured the first cup of coffee and I sure hope it gets me started soon…I think today is going to be the first day of 2 outdoor rides since it’s 50 already and that means I can get out as soon as it gets light…I did look for a new bike yesterday but one drawback is that I re-geared the ones I have to a road bike gearing to get more speed out of 24th and it will take a couple of years to wear out the gearing on any new bike…not going to replace a new crankset or cassette so I’ll have to live with the slower speed for a while…and that means I’ll be 75 before I get the gearing back to what I like…but I can at least get a new bike for 449.00 that is just like two of them I have…I guess I’ll have to think about that…okay, it’s not 50 but 42 and that is still warm enough to go out at first light…I do need to eat more than I have been with only one meal a day for a week now and I’m not sure if I’m going to buy another ham or a pork shoulder this week…Meijers has pork shoulder on sale for 1.49 a pound and that may be a good change if I can get a small one…more later…
