Well…after I got the first ride in dry this morning, it started to rain like crazy about a half mile out during the 2nd ride but I just kept going and it rained like crazy the entire ride…can remember being that wet on the bike in a long time and I didn’t even have my rain gear on…my shoes were squishy when I got back and I don’t think they will be dry enough to use tomorrow…or I will use them but won’t like it…had to put my mp3 player inside the waterproof bag cover or it probably would have stopped working…I think I could describe the amount of rain as a “gullywasher” and there were huge puddles everywhere but I didn’t even attempt to avoid them I was so wet….so now I’m taking the rest of the day off…making Masala tomorrow but I think I may have to much food going with pasta salad and potato salad in the fridge and I bought breakfast food of eggs and sausage this week, too…oh, well…

200 million for golf?
Well…I know I’ve talked about this before but it still pisses me off so I’ll do another one…since the idiot trump came into office, he has spent 200 million dollars of our tax money so he can go play golf and the repubs are just okay with that…even while they gut Medicaid and food stamps saying we can’t afford those two programs anymore…I’ll bet 200 million bucks could give thousands of people health insurance…or feed people that will be going hungry or starving to death…you would think if there is enough money for a quarter of a billion dollars for golf, there would be money for taking care of Americans…but the only American idiot boy cares about is himself so this is what you get when you have an entire party of hateful, racist assholes supporting the racist asshole in chief….geez…
July 26th
Well..feel pretty crappy today and I think it’s a continuation of how I felt yesterday…this heat and humidity is really taking a lot out of me and the rain that was forecast is missing to the south…as always…and I don’t think it’s ever going to rain again…so I’ll be out on the bike after the F1 sprint race from Spa and at least one more cup of coffee….I did sleep okay last night and made it though until 5:37 and I’ll take that after getting up around 3 for a couple of days…the humidity is still over 90% and I can feel it just sitting here so I’ll be soaked again after the rides…made coffee with ground beans this morning and I’m still working on the first bag I bought months ago…and I’m really not sure how it tastes since I really can’t taste anything…not sure what the meals are going to be today but I know I have pasta and potato salad to go with it…okay, just had to turn the fan on and I’m probably going to wear it out after having it on high all day yesterday…not much to do today…just going to pour more coffee down and wait for the sun to come up and then get moving….more later..
Too darn hot…
Well…I took another lazy day today with the high heat and humidity that is still here for a few more days so I sat in front of the fan and read this afternoon…even had a little episode between the rides that almost made me put the bike away with only one ride in….all of a sudden all of the energy drained out of me and it was all I could do to just stay standing…but it passed and of course I got back on the bike for the second ride…I did make potato salad and did laundry this afternoon…oh, and I went to the beach and had a really nice swim…water is perfect and I hope it stays that way for a while…and the wind was low enough that there was no sand in the car…and that was a relief with how much work I had to do to clean it yesterday…okay, time to get my night started…with some tv…
It’s pretty darn funny…
Well…after I read an article on Kos yesterday about the latest “South Park” episode that attacked the idiot trump for the entire 30 minutes, I went out and watched it last night and it was pretty damn funny…the comment from one of the readers was that there would be “ketchup on the moon” made me laugh out loud…so go watch it if you get the chance…oh, in other mango mussolini news…idiot boy’s approval rating is down to 37% overall but in the mid 20′s with independents and that is going to hurt in the 26 elections…there is no issue that he is not under water on and that is how it should be since he really is incompetent in everything he does…haven’t seen him threaten the guys who do “South Park” yet but you know it’s coming after cbs caved and paid him off for a lawsuit he filed against 60 minutes for telling the truth…where are the guts from the media these days? Geez..
July 25th
Well…damn, I am just exhausted from the heat and can barely get moving today…so the rides are going to be a huge chore…the 57% chance of rain yesterday turned into nothing as it always does and we are back to the drought that plagues this place…I really don’t think it will ever rain again…need to pour more coffee down to be able to force myself to move…wearing a mask when I’m anywhere with crowds seems to be the smart move after T caught covid a few days back and she is miserable and getting damaged from it…and that sucks…not sure what I’m going to do today…should I go out to the beach? It’s going to be cloudy all day so that may not be bad…but it’s going to be almost 90 again today and the heat is wearing me down…oh, I said that already…I do have to remember to put sunscreen on before I get on the bike since I forgot it yesterday…it’s going to be one of those surviving the day days today and I know it’s going to be so much work…getting too old for this crap….more later…
Way too much humidity…
Well…damn, the humidity was over 90% when I got on the bike at 6:45 this morning and I was drenched by the time I finished the second ride…after that I got to work removing the sand from the car and that was a huge pain in the ass since the humidity had stuck the sand to all the plastic in the interior and I had to loosen it up with a toothbrush in places so the vacuum could suck it up…and the exterior of the car was the same…it had an even coating of sand all over it…I’m going to avoid the beach if the wind is blowing hard like it was today…wasn’t going to get sand blasted since the wind was out of the south at close to 30 and blowing strait up the beach…I didn’t do anything else other than cook and read…made some pasta salad and cooked the ingredients for another batch of potato salad…I did make the pasta salad too dry so I’ll add a little bit more mayo to it tomorrow…so now it’s time to go back to reading…
Even the repubs want the Epstein files released…
Well…no matter how much the idiot trump howls about Obama trying to distract the country from the Epstein files, it’s not working and even the repubs now are calling for them to be released and I really don’t think this is going to end any time soon…and just a couple of days ago the WSJ reported that yep, idiot boy is in the files and there are records and testimony that he raped a 14 year old girl at one of Epstein’s parties since sexual abuse of underage girls was what Epstein and Maxwell were convicted of…so the idiot is at all of these parties and now he wants everyone to believe he didn’t take part in any of them? So now we have a sitting president who raped a 14 year old girl and maga is just fine with that…along with all of the other repubs…there is no rule of law with these folks anymore…it’s just ignore our crimes or use the government to make them go away…and that is what is happening here with the corrupt AG (you remember the bribe she took from trump, right?) stalling all day long to make sure the files are never released…we really do need to take back the government and hold these criminals accountable…geez..
July 24th
Well…up and running before 6 this morning and I am sitting here sweating already with the humidity at 91% and the temp barely got under 80 overnight…pretty damn sticky and it’s going to get up to almost 90 today…pretty normal for Michigan in July…going to have to clean the car after the rides this morning after the wind filled the car with sand at the beach yesterday… and I need to drop my primary ballot off at the cop shop today so that will add a half mile to my first ride…going to make some pasta salad today along with getting the ingredients cooked for another batch of potato salad that I’ll assemble tomorrow but I’m not sure what I’m going to eat today since I used up all of the leftovers yesterday…just got a weather alert for high winds at 11 am so I need to get off my butt as soon as it gets light to get the rides in…the lake was warm enough to play in the waves yesterday and I may get out there again today but I will close the car up if I do…it is supposed to rain today but I’m still laughing at that…the radar says the rain is going to miss us to the north as it always does…not much to do today…just the rides and cleaning the car and then maybe out to the beach but we’ll see…more later…
Don’t use anything musk…
Well…ole elon really hates the government except when he leeches more money out of it just as he did a few weeks back when he signed a contract with the Pentagon worth 200 million dollars for them to use his crappy AI that has been shown to not work at all…especially when it gives antisemitic answers to questions along with praise for nazis…how many more times are we going to allow musk to bleed the government as he has done with SpaceX? I mean hates government and that was clear when he ran the fraud of the doge debacle that didn’t save one dime and actually cost money with the changes that he did…but what did you expect from someone with a 5th grader’s understanding of how the government works…so what can we do against him? don’t use anything musk…no AI, no Tesla, and no more government money for spacex…nothing musk ever again…geez…
