Well…running on time today and feel pretty good this morning…except for my heel and I am going to go out and try to get something to treat it after the workout and bike ride…slept okay last night but I was up and down all night…woke up for the last time around 4:30 but did get one more hour of sleep in after that….didn’t put the heat on for the first time this year last night since it stayed around 70 for the low…and that means I can get out on the bike as soon as I finish the workout…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will have a few things to do today but not until I have more coffee…it’s not working yet…and I do need to read some news so I can think about that on the bike and come back for another one later this morning….more later….

Rick Snyder is not too bright…
Well…thought I’d go with a little bit of local politics today after just seeing an ad that our idiot governor has done for his underling who is running for governor. In the ad, Snyder touts the “accomplishments” of his administration and he actually uses right to work as an accomplishment…yep he’s proud of the hand he has had in killing unions in this country and the result of lower wages for the people who are left working here…I mean, who the hell is that aimed at? At best, right to work is supported by only about 40% of the people in Michigan and those are all repubs…does he think that any independent who supports working people is going to think that’s a plus? I wonder if he should put in new ads that he poisoned an entire city and has done nothing to help Flint? I wonder if another ad should be that he passed the biggest tax increase on retirees in the history of the state? Or, another one that he and his repub cronies rigged the system so even though dems got more votes total in the last election, repubs control the entire state? You get my drift…The ads against Brian Calley are going to write themselves….and Snyder is not too bright if he thinks his “accomplishments” will sway anyone to continue the policies that have screwed over workers across the state…geez…
May 1st
Well….running early today with getting up at 6 or so….slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning and I am going to ease into it….had a nice day yesterday and even got some color with the top down out and back to pool…which I lost but had lots of fun…it was nice to get out of here for a change…didn’t get much done around here yesterday and I probably won’t do much today…it is already almost 60 outside so I can get on the bike in just a t-shirt….and I think that will be only the second time this year….okay, need some more coffee….and to read the news so I’m going to do that and then come back later to add to this one….more later…
Lies and lying liars…
Well….just got back from riding the bike (no skipping for the third day in a row!) and I thought I’d do the last one for the month. I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the White House correspondents dinner and the roasting of the trump “administration” by the comedian Michelle Wolf…and the outrage, outrage, I tell you, about her calling out Sarah Sanders for lying to us every day from the podium in the WH. Now these snowflakes can’t take being told the truth? I wonder if truth to them is like Kryptonite…that if they get too close to it it will kill them? I had the thought the other day about how they can keep doing it day in and day out…I’m not sure about you but if I lied as much as she does it would corrode my well being but it appears like she and the other lying liars in this administration thrive on the lies, and the media does, too…after all, they keep letting them get away with it…for just once, I’d like to see one of the WH correspondents just get up and leave when she lies…maybe the rest of them would follow…we can only hope…geez…
April 30th
Well….running a little early today and I feel quite a bit better…not sure why I felt so crappy yesterday but I think it was from not eating enough…slept okay last night and I am waiting for the coffee to work and I hope that’s soon since I have a bunch of stuff to do this morning…need to wash the car before I work out and ride the bike since it is covered in dust from the lot cleaning….didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft but that’s okay….I really don’t have a lot to do around here…the bike is still confusing me…two days now without a skip and I took all of the adjustment back out…will have to think about that a bit but I’ll take it…the weather is going to be gorgeous the next few days with our first 80 degree day this year and I can’t wait to air this place out….it will probably make my allergies worse but I can live with that…more later….
April 29th
Well…almost forgot to come here for this one with the F1 race just getting ready to start….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today…not really crappy but just slow…and I am going to ease into the day with coffee…..and more coffee….my back has been sore for a day now and I hope I can figure out how to crack it today….I may have to take a day off the bike soon to let my legs heal up some since they have been really sore the past few days….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same…just can’t get motivated to do much lately…..the bike is still confusing me with the skipping and the adjustments not doing much…it started with the start of the ride yesterday but then stopped after I adjusted it but then I took the entire adjustment out and it still didn’t skip…weird….not much to do today…just going to veg out the morning and have more coffee….more later….
An NRA talking point dies….
Well….with the good news that the NRA is getting it’s records ready for prosecutors who are looking at the conspiracy between Russia and the NRA to funnel Russian money to repub candidates, there was another little noted story about a new study that kills one of the NRA’s talking points that open carry and their more guns everywhere makes us safer and lowers the crime rate. Just one little problem with that…it doesn’t…in fact right to carry laws actually increase the crime rates where they are passed…the study found that in the ten years after these idiotic laws are passed, the incidents of violent crime will be 13 to 15% higher than if they stayed sane and didn’t pass these laws. So, the next time this talking point comes up, we all should call bullshit on it…more guns mean more crime…period. Geez….
April 28th
Well….I think I’m about on time today with soccer just starting…and I slept okay last night but feel so slow today that this one is going to be a struggle…..still feel a little depressed and I’m not sure how long that will last….hope it’s not too much longer since I don’t like it much….going to have to wait for quite a while to get out on the bike today with it being in the low 30’s right now and the warm up is going to be slow…will probably have to wait until the aft….don’t have a lot to do today but cook…going to try a new set of spices for the veggies today since I am bored with the same old same old…and I just got some oregano that I have been out of for some time….not much to do today….just going to watch some soccer and have some coffee right now….and try to feel better….more later….
No politics right now…
Well…have been sitting here for a while trying to come up with a pertinent topic today and nothing is grabbing me yet so I thought I’d just do one on anything that pops into my head…started to have problems with the bike again today out of nowhere…had two days of not one skip and then it just started again today…and this time I hadn’t done anything to it…no adjustments at all…tried the same adjustment again and it seems to have helped since it didn’t skip at all when I took it out to go to the bank and get my powerball tickets for tomorrow…it was a little strange going to the atm on the bike…normally when I’m in the car, I have to stretch because the car is so low…but, on the bike I had to stoop to be able to have the buttons line up with the screen….but, it still worked so that was cool….might be going out to have a couple with T later if her sched allows it…that would be a good start to the weekend….even though every day is like a weekend to me now….and it is warm enough to put the top down over and back…..not as depressed now as when yesterday started…hope it continues….
April 27th
Well…have been sitting here staring at the screen trying to figure out how to start this one….it should be pretty easy after doing more than 6,000 of these but it’s not…I did sleep okay last night but have had this malaise for the past few days that I think may be depression again and I am not looking forward to that…I did get a double in on the bike yesterday and I was planning on trying that again today but my left leg is just too sore for that…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I am going to try to clean a little today since I tracked mud in on the new shoes and it is all over the carpet….I need to get out sometime to look for some new shoes with the old ones worn out…but not until next week…just don’t feel like doing that right now….more later….
