Well…of course trump caved and lifted most of the tariffs on Chinese goods and got nothing from China in return…this is what this moron does…disrupt the economy and then just slink away when China flatters him a bit…and here’s the thing, China got everything they wanted and that was getting rid of most of the tariffs…and I would like someone to explain to me what problem the tariffs were supposed to solve? With the idiot’s 4th grade understanding of how trade works, the only reason is he is trying to bully our trading partners and that sure as hell isn’t working…and now that he caved to China, the rest of the world is going to expect the same thing so all they have to do is wait him out as he tries to save face…so, I wonder how much weaker he can get? He’s already the weakest president in history…okay, and the dumbest…geez…

Well…the pattern continues…up at 5am but today I was able to get back to sleep til almost 6:30 but that hasn’t helped how worn out I feel…and I need to get on the bike right now to get on schedule for the day…it is supposed t be our first day of 80+ temps so I may be able to open this place up and air it out today…but the first ride will be indoors since it is only 46 right now but then I should be able to get outdoors as soon as that is done…I think I’m due for an easy day of only two rides soon but the guilt won’t let me do that yet…need to figure out meals for the week but I really have no taste for anything…can make some chili dogs and bean burritos I guess but that is all food that is bad for me but at my age, I wonder if that means anything anymore? I have to get started selling the old car but that is not something I want to do right now…maybe I’ll just give the damn thing away and avoid having to deal with it…I do feel like I should be driving the new car but, as I’ve said before, it is pretty pathetic that I don’t have anywhere to go…not much to do today…just need to get moving to start but that needs more coffee and that takes time I don’t have…crap…more later…
Just can’t do it…
Well…have been wracking my brain all afternoon t come up with a political topic and haven’t been able to do it…oh, I could write about the 400 million dollar bribe that the idiot is going to take from the Qataris in the form of a customized Boeing 747 but I am just so damn tired if the idiot and writing about him so I won’t…so where does that leave me? Doing a filler for the first time in a long time…I just realized I haven’t driven the new car with the top up since I got it other than to load it on the ferry and that’s pretty cool…and even though the 6 disc in dash player is a little clunky, it’s nice to listen to entire albums again instead of playlists… and I have both cases filled with cds so I’ll have music for the entire summer…need to remember to put them in the car tomorrow along with the beach sticker and license plate tab…okay, want to go back to reading…
The trail is open…
Well…after a year of delays, the trail through the condo/marina complex is back open again and I rode through it today…not sure if I’ll be using it much, though, since it was busy even with no people in the condos yet…will probably just keep using the bypass so I can get some speed going…and it’s pretty narrow compared to the trail that was there before…I did get three rides in before noon again and now it’s 12:30 and I have some cleaning to do before the nascar race comes on at 3 or so…still have the weight work to do but that can be done when the race is on…and I do want to read some this aft, too, so I guess I should get off my butt and get working…more later…

Well..damn, need to be on the indoor bike in 16 minutes and just dragged my ass out of bed…no coffee yet but I need to pour some down if I’m going to get a ride in before the MotoGP race at 7:30…it’s only 41 degrees outside right now so the outdoor rides are going to wait a bit…up at around 4 again today and I am so damn tired of it…might have to go back to the otc sleeping pills again but I haven’t needed them in years and I don’t want to do that if I don’t have to…but 4 hours of sleep a night is not enough…have to figure out meals for the next few days after I finish up the soup today…might make some bean burritos since I have all the ingredients for it…and I thawed some dogs for chili dogs so I do have options…yeah, I know…all bad for me but I’m tired of eating food that is good for me…just tired of eating in general with no teeth left to do it…the new car is just a little too big to clean it in the garage so the next time I’m going to back it out and do it in the driveway…could barely get in the doors without banging them into the grill or the studs…and I sure don’t want to do damage to it…not much to do today…need to get on the bike right now to get the indoor ride done by 7:30 but I am so damn tired of having discipline…want to just sit here and have more coffee but I won’t…more later…
Good runs on the bike today…
Well…it’s been a pretty easy day today but I did get three rides in for 33 miles today…and I did the full 24th gear sprint on the way back on both outdoor rides since the wind was at my back blowing 15 mph or so…I really do like going with the wind like that and I really pushed myself enough that I know I’m going to hurt tomorrow since I already do…even passed a couple on e bikes that I left like they were standing still…and I was grinning like an idiot the whole time…finished up all three rides before noon and haven’t done anything but clean a little since…I do need to get the beach window sticker and the new license tab on the car but that can wait since there is no damn way I’ll be going to the beach until the water is warm enough to swim…so it looks like tomorrow will be about the same with races and rides…I really do want to take the car out for a drive but I don’t really know where to go…and that’s a little pathetic…oh, well…
They love trump until he hurts them personally…
well…look, I know I’ve talked about this trait of repubs to love trump until he screws them personally and this happened even before the maga idiots foisted him on us again…Kos has a nice series over at his site that highlights the remorse they are having…not about voting for idiot boy but because they don’t make the connection that it is trump that is cutting food stamps, disability pay, Medicaid and his tariffs are putting hundred of small businesses out of business…and every damn one of them say they didn’t know idiot boy was going to do what he’s done to the economy even though he told all of them just what he was going to do and they voted for him anyway…and a theme that runs though all these interviews is they voted for trump for his “morality” of they felt “rushed” to choose a presidential candidate…ha, ha…they had years to figure out who trump is and they ignored what was in plain sight…serves them right and I hope they all starve to death since they voted for that for “other” people…geez…
May 10th
Well…not sure what the heck is going on but I was up at 4 am again today and out of bed by 5:30 and that is just too damn early for me…or for anyone who is on a normal schedule…I think I’m going to have to clean the car out of the garage since it’s just a little too big to get in and out of the doors when it’s in the garage…but I have the glass done and I can put the beach sticker on and be ready to go out and get some swims in as soon as it gets warm enough…not going to buy a new beach chair since it wouldn’t fit in the new car’s trunk so I’ll use the 4 by 4 shipping pad I got from HF for my new beach blanket…but that is not going to happen til way into June…I sure hope the water is warmer this year…only had a few comfortable water days last year and I’m running out of years to swim…it looks like a one indoor and two outdoor ride day today and I need to wedge in the MotoGP sprint race at 9 so that gives me a lot of time to sit here and have coffee with it only 6:05 right now…might even have to make some pour over to get my old butt moving today…not much to do today…I really just want to go out and drive the new car but I don’t know where to go so I probably won’t…still too damn task oriented even at my advanced age and I need to figure out how to just fool around…have never been good at that….more later…
Got the glass done on the car..
Well…after I decided to only do three rides today, that gave me enough time to work on the car a bit so I decided to do the glass and rainx it and then clean the interior and waxed the inner door parts that everyone always misses…then I cleaned the under hood parts of the front fenders and the trunk and I’ll start on the wheels tomorrow if it’s not raining…have to remember to put the registration and proof of insurance in the glove box…there are so many clever little details on this car from the way the top folds to be it’s own cover when it’s down to the soft opening glove box and the little cubbys of storage that are behind the seats and between them…I did get the string trimming done this morning but put the trimmer away with the gas cap pointing down and it dripped all over my bike and made for a long clean up and it still smells in the garage…oh, well…
Impeachment is coming…
Well…here we go again, there are three dems in the house who are going to introduce articles of impeachment against the idiot trump but I’m not holding my breath that the speaker will allow a vote on them…and the thing is idiot boy is even worse than the last time when he was impeached twice so these should pass if any repubs grew a pair and took back the power that is rightfully the House’s that the idiot has usurped…so it will be interesting anyway to see how many dems pile on and present their own…will it do any good? Nope but I say do it anyway…we are all part of the resistance now and need to do our part…geez…
