Well…that sucked…didn’t sleep well at all last night and was up and down with finally giving up at 5:30 and getting up…but, I knew that was going to happen with being good last night…I realized that it was 51 years since I started my only good job at Steelcase…1973…yow that was a long time ago…it’s too cold to get a ride in outdoors before the grocery run so I’ll be downstairs in an hour or so and then do two rides outdoors when I get back here…I do need to hit DD this morning to pick up some boneless/skinless chicken breasts to use in some chicken masala this weekend for 2 bucks a pound…but you have to buy 4 pounds so that is enough for two batches…still have leftovers for today and tomorrow so I may have to make the masala Friday….and I do have the ingredients for salads so that will stretch into the weekend…still no rain here for weeks now and none in the forecast until the 21st and that is a low probability…oh, well…not much to do today…just the grocery run and vaccinations and I hope it warms up enough to put the top down on the car…more later…

Another easy one…
Well…damn, I think I’m getting lazy with the second day in a row with not doing much but ride the bike and doing laundry…didn’t even have to cook with having leftovers…I did get some reading done and that felt good to be able to just take a couple of hours to just relax and do that…tomorrow will be a little busier with the rides, grocery run, and vaccinations…going to stop at DD on the way home to get some boneless/skinless chicken to make some more chicken masala sine I haven’t made it in quite a while and I like it…no cocktails tonight so I’ll feel good with all the stuff to do tomorrow…and I can use a break…so I need to go get my allergy meds and find something to watch tonight…
Now ABC is in the tank for idiot boy…
Well…after promising to fact check the candidates statements at the debate tonight, ABC just decided that they won’t do it…giving the idiot trump free rein to lie his ass off with no consequences…and Kamala shouldn’t have to do it so I think the best course of action for our side would be for her to state that “donald lies all the time so whatever he says here will be a lie” or something like that and put him on the defensive and she should probably throw a few “weirds” in there, too since he hates that so much…but she can’t be drawn into his bullshit and but use his lying to bring forward her own points…and for icing on the cake she should bring up the fact that no one convicted of 34 felonies has ever run for president while other trials for other felonies are still pending…she has a lot of ammunition and has been preparing for this he entire life…go Kamala…
September 10th
Well…as you’ve noticed, the site was down this morning…and I need to get a second ride in right now so I’ll be back in about an hour and a half…more later…Okay, I’m back a little later than I said but have the three rides in, laundry started, and lunch in the air fryer…and I’m finishing up the coffee as I do this…slept okay last night but probably won’t tonight with the start of being good for a while…still have a lot to do today with putting the grocery list together, doing the weight work, and the putting the list together of the bike parts I need to order soon…the trees have started to change color out here and I wonder if it has to do with the fact that we’ve had 10 minutes of rain here in the past month? Some of the trees are under a lot of stress and have started dropping their leaves already and I think that’s a bit early…going to try to get a ride in tomorrow morning before I do the grocery run and get vaccinated…and then I can make it a three outdoor ride day but I’m not sure why I’m still piling on the miles after reaching the goal for the year…habit, I guess…not much to do today…should clean the kitchen some or take the AC unit out and put it back downstairs so I can get some air flow through my bedroom…more later…
Got my vaccines scheduled…
Well…it was an easy day with just the rides and some yard work done but I did remember to schedule my fall vaccines…getting both my flu and covid vaccines Wed morning after I get the grocery run done…then I’m going to wait a couple of weeks and schedule my rsv and shingles vaccines and then I’ll be done with them for the year..they had lots of spots open and I hope it stays that way for a couple of weeks..it was so windy when I went out that the waves were 6-8 feet tall and there was even a guy out there trying to surf them…and they were so loud that I could hear them even with music in my ears..so I took my earbuds out and just sat there listening to it roar for a while…then I did a weed walk and filled in the holes that the skunks dug in the grass with my last bag of topsoil…and even carved out a couple of hours to read…okay, just need to veg out for a while and stare at the tv…
Not going to watch the debate…
Well..okay, I’m saying it…I’m not going to watch the debate tomorrow night…the sound of the idiot trump’s voice is like a million fingernails on a million blackboards and I’m not going to subject myself to that…and let’s put it bluntly, he’s just going to lie every time he opens his mouth so what’s the point? I’ll watch the Kamala parts Wed and maybe read a transcript or maybe turn on MSNBC to hear Rachael’s take on it…probably not the best night to be skipping cocktails but I’m taking a few days off to dry out a bit…I really do hope that Kamala goes after the “sanewashing” the media is doing by taking the gibberish that idiot boy spews and turning it into something that makes a little sense…and, if you get the chance, go out and find the Penzies visit that Kamala did last week…I just watched the footage of it and it makes the contrast to the idiot so much sharper…and confuses me even more why anyone would vote for the idiot…lots of stupid, racist people in this country I guess…
September 9th
Well…damn, didn’t get out of bed til a little after 7 this morning and I still feel pretty worn out….it’s warm enough to get on the bike as soon as I’m ready but just poured the first cup of coffee and need to get some of that in me first…I wonder if the pain in my neck is ever going to go away? I’ve had it for a couple of months now and I sure hope I don’t have to stay off the bike to heal it…I think I need to open a new tube of voltaren today sine I’m going to have to treat my neck before the bike…and my knees…I sure hope there’s no permanent damage there…got the bathroom cleaned yesterday and should work on the kitchen today and I might but there is yard work to do so I should do some of that…don’t have to mow the lawn since it hasn’t rained out here in almost two weeks and it’s not growing…and there is no rain in the forecast until a small chance on the 21st…not much to do today…there is soccer on this aft so I guess I could watch that and I do need to cook some chicken thighs for lunch so that’s something…more later…
Got the bathroom cleaned…
Well…yeah, now that’s an exciting headline…but I did get it done and it needed it…but I didn’t get much else done other than the bike rides so I sure wasn’t overworked….it was funny that the air temp out at Lake Michigan was 10 degrees cooler than inland and it’s probably that the lake turned over again so even if I go to the beach this week, I probably won’t be able to swim…oh, well…I do need to get started on the yard to get it ready for fall and I need to trim the trees around my power line along with get after the trash bushes in my fence and I do need to do a weed walk tomorrow to keep them suppressed so the grass can grow back in…it’s going to be in the 80′s this week so it will be nice to finish off the summer after the heat going on last night…okay, need to read a bit and get ready for the Lions game tonight…
Ignore the NYT…
Well…with Kamala pulling out to a steady lead, the NYT just had to jump in and push a poll by Rassmusen that shows the race tied and the write seven stories attacking Kamala with lies and speculation…I guess the billionaire owner of the times is trying to protect the tax cuts that idiot boy has promised him and then his publisher went to the Post and wrote an op-ed trying to get that Bezos owned rag to jump on board with more attacks…and they don’t care that idiot boy is deteriorating before our eyes every day…I’ve read some of crap that has been spewing out of the idiot’s mouth over the past couple of weeks and none of it makes much sense…but what does the Times do…it doesn’t print exactly what he said but cleans it up so it sounds like he is a brilliant policy wonk…look, trump is so bad and such a threat to this country that even the Cheneys came out and said they would vote for Kamala to protect this country from idiot boy and his minions…I just hope this gives other repubs permission to protect this country and vote for our side…it won’t break through the maga wall but it may just peel off enough votes to get a big win for our side…let’s hope it does…geez…
September 8th
Well…damn, it’s a little comforting when the heat comes on all by itself when it hasn’t run since April…it got down to 44 degrees overnight but it’s nice an comfortable in here…and the combo of heat and brewing coffee is all I need right now…had another night of okay sleep last night and feel okay today and will be getting on the indoor bike by 8am but I’ll be outside for the second one by 9 since it will be 55 by then…the cold weather will be over for a week or so with the lows around 60 and highs in the 80′s but I do need to get ready for the cold that is coming later in the month…the Hispanic festival was so damn loud yesterday and it is a relief that it is over…or it might not be…there could be a second day today…hope not…then the Irish music festival starts…oh, well…didn’t get much done yesterday so I need to get some cleaning done today…just eating leftovers so that will make it a little easier but I still need to plan meals for the week….have more chicken in the fridge that needs to be cooked so that will be one of the daily meals for 4 more days…not much to do today…just need to read the news and have more coffee right now and then get off my butt and get going…more later…
