Well…what did I miss while I was gone? Anything interesting happen? Yeah…just a little joke to get started…of course the further unraveling of the idiot trump is everywhere today when the transcript of the incriminating call to the president of Ukraine was backed up by the whistleblower report that was released by the DNI…and while he is testifying in front of congress, he let go with another bombshell…that the transcript was classified for political reasons, not the normal national security issues that is usually the reason for making anything classified…but the even bigger bombshell is that this political protection and cover up has been going on since Putin installed trump and many other transcripts exist that show that trump is an even bigger criminal than the Ukraine affair shows and that all of them were classified for his political protection…and that everyone from Pence on down have been involved in these coverups…and trump even admitted the other day that Pence was in on the extortion scheme against the Ukraine….hmmmm…can you say President Pelosi? As I’ve told you before, though…the repubs are going to go down with this garbage scow…and they showed that they are just a criminal organization by not upholding the constitution and by protecting trump…I wonder how many more of the WH staff and cabinet were involved? I hope this leads to Barr being impeached as well…if just to wipe that smug look from his face….geez….

Well…I should be out on the bike right now but I ran out of clean clothes and needed to do a load so I’ll have some to change into when I get back here…damn…not sure how that happened and it really disrupts my morning…I did sleep okay last night and didn’t get until almost 6 so that is a win for me…but I still feel off this morning and I’m not sure why…I’m not sure why I would be so sore with only doing one ride yesterday but maybe it’s the painting? All I know is that I have been hobbling around here the past day or so and I don’t like it…and the ibuprofen didn’t help at all so maybe it’s just from overwork…I wonder if doing two rides a day is even helping the pain and not causing it? Now wouldn’t that be irony? I just realized that I can discard the water jugs I have been carrying over to the house for the past two months and that feels good…it has been such a pain in the butt working over there with no water but that ends tomorrow…so now that means I need to buy a garden hose and borrow the power washer from one of my other sons and get the exterior of the house cleaned up….that should be fun to really get to cleaning…and I even have supplies bagged up and ready to go and I may start cleaning the interior Friday since I now have a bathroom to use and I can stay there as long as I want….but today is errands and taking it easy…and I need to go up to the office and sign the no more leasing form so I don’t owe them more money…my last lease payment is Tuesday! More later….
Some good news…
Well…it’s been a heck of a week with everything going on at the house so I hope you give me a little break with me not doing much politics here lately…I promise I’ll get back to it next week since I got some good news today and we are entering the home stretch on the house…I have gotten the electric and gas bills switched over to me and coming to the house and, miracles of miracles, the water is being turned on Friday morning so we’ll have a functioning house again! My son did all the heavy lifting on that and thanks to him. All of the bills are current including the property taxes, too…so no surprises there…all I’m going to have left to do is contact Comcast for my internet connection and the move can be scheduled for any time…and that gives me a month to move so it should be pretty easy if the car holds up….man, what a lot of work done in under three months and the place looks pretty good….can you see me patting myself on the back? Yee Ha….
September 25th
Well…that really sucked…couldn’t get to sleep so I stayed up until after 1 and still got up at the normal time so that makes it about 4 hours of sleep and I am dead this morning…and I feel so sore after being on my feet for 6 hours that I may have to take something for it before I get on the bike…I didn’t get a ride in at all yesterday and I know I didn’t eat enough, either so today looks set up to be a low energy one but I still need to go over and paint the hallway to keep on schedule…and I do need to load the car up since the move date is coming on fast and I haven’t moved enough stuff…needless to say, I didn’t get anything done around here yesterday and probably won’t today, either…I have just so much energy and that needs to be focused on getting the house done…okay, this is going to be a short one since I need coffee and to wd the shifter on the bike before I go out….more later…
House update…
Well…the condemnation has been lifted! After the two and a half months of work and getting the windows in today, the inspector came and approved of all of the work and I am now out of the clutches of the city…and the guys who did the windows did a really nice job but they backed their damn truck into one of the aluminum awnings over the windows and crushed it and now that has to be replaced and won’t match the rest of them…but I told my son and he really doesn’t care so I guess I can live with it. For the first time in the life of that house, there was a cool breeze blowing through it with the windows open and that just made it so much nicer…and the windows are pretty cool in that you can take them apart to clean them with just the push of a button. Now it’s just the detail work to do with the bills and getting the water turned on…I did get the gas bill put into my name today and am going to try to get the electric done tomorrow…and my son is working on getting the water turned on since he is the owner and the only one that the city will allow to do it….and that will take almost two weeks so I am bumping up against my deadline of mid October since I still need to clean the entire house before I start putting my stuff in…going to be a busy few weeks…but, not tonight…I am going to reward myself with some cocktails and a little rest tonight..it has been a long day…
Buckle up…impeachment is on…
Well…have been at the house all day today and just got back here to some surprising good news…at 5 pm today, Nancy Pelosi is going to announce that an impeachment investigation of the idiot trump is going to start tomorrow…yep, the great day is finally here…where true patriots do their duty to the constitution and hold the moron in chief accountable for his too numerous to count crimes….and it appears that it is going to be broad based using the Mueller report and the fact that idiot boy has suborned perjury by asking people to lie for him, has blatantly broken the emoluments clause of the constitution by taking money from foreign governments at his hotels and has extorted foreign governments to do his bidding for political purposes. I t will be really interesting to see the idiot in chief’s reaction to this today…should be an epic meltdown….
September 24th
Well…damn, up again at 5:04 and I am feeling the lack of sleep today…I think part of it may be stress, too, with having the windows put in today and having the inspector come to approve the repairs I’ve done…I have my fingers crossed that everything will pass and I’ll get the water back on next week…I did check the water heater yesterday and the pilot is still burning so I think I’ll just have to turn it on when the water is turned on and it will work…I do need to get over there by 8 this morning so no bike ride until this afternoon….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but more prep work on the hallway…didn’t want to have fresh paint on it while the installers are dragging the windows in and out so that will wait until tomorrow…can’t wait to see if the washer and dryer still work and then start getting at cleaning the place up so I can plan when the move is going to happen….no later than the second week of October but that means I need to get with Comcast and get internet service started by then…so, still lots more to do but I can see the end of the tunnel…more later…
Remember the other Ukraine scandal?
Well…with the new Ukraine scandal swirling around the idiot trump…you know where he tried to extort fake “dirt” on Joe Biden by withholding 250 million in military aid…we need to remember this is not the first scandal that involves trump and the Ukraine…while Mueller was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election that installed trump, the Ukraine government was cooperating with Mueller since he was investigating Paul Manafort as part of the conspiracy…and, if you remember, Ukraine abruptly stopped their investigation after trump gave them 400 million dollars in military equipment…do you think there just maybe might have been a little extortion going on there, too? Yeah, you’re right, there was…I wrote about that back when it happened in 2018 but no one seemed to give a damn then…but, maybe now that there is a pattern, the media will go back and actually report on this one…look, the presidency is not supposed to be run like a mob boss…”hey, nice Ukraine you got there…would be a shame if something happened to it” is how trump has operated his entire life as he has shown admiration for how they run their businesses….again, if Obama had done any of what trump does daily the repubs would be howling for his resignation but now they seem to revel in their hypocrisy as they let the country go down the drain…geez…
Some good news…
Well…yeah, I know…I haven’t been doing much on the political front lately but I have an excuse…I have been darn busy with the house and that seems to be keeping me from reading the news enough to get outraged about it lately…I will try to do one later today but just wanted to share a little bit of good news that I just got today…no, I didn’t win the lottery but it almost seems that way to me…with the windows going in the house tomorrow, I thought is would be a while before I could get the inspector back there to approve the repairs but I contacted him today and he will be out tomorrow morning! So maybe, just maybe I’ll have the water turned on by this time next week and be out from under the city’s gaze, too. Tomorrow could be a good day…sure hope so…
September 23rd
Well…didn’t get up until the coffee alarm clock this morning and that made it 6:30 and that is really unusual….I think I may have had too much sleep and that make me really groggy and slow right now…but, I think it may be better later in the day…at least I hope it will…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much but watch sports all day but I have work to do at the house so it will be busier today…hoping to get the hallway painted today and some work in the basement done along with prep for the windows going in tomorrow…but I don’t feel like doing anything right now and I hope the coffee kicks in soon so I can get on the bike in a few minutes…one of these days I am going to take the day off of everything but that will probably have to wait until after I move….I did get some cooking done yesterday and that will make today easier since I don’t have to cook…I think there is too much chicken going on, though, and I need to change it up at some point…but not today…more later….
