Well…I finally got the new phone today and it is pretty cool….and, it’s an android so I know how to work most of it already…it’s a Samsung Galaxy S-7 and it is quite a bit bigger than the old phone but really thin…and it works on all of the sites that I use without having to fool around with it or get thrown off….I guess these are pretty fragile so I need to get a case for it tomorrow…they have about a hundred different ones so I will have to do a little work on that one….I do have to get my ears used to the new sounds that it makes….pretty darn modern…it won best phone for 2016….not used to having modern stuff….other than the laptop, that is….

Well….I hope yesterday was the last day of being without a phone…it has been a pain and it will be more of one today as I try to get it up and running….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today so I think I’ll ease into it for now and let the coffee work some….didn’t do a lot yesterday but I did get a bike ride in…the day off the bike did some good and my legs don’t hurt today so that is something…. and it is raining right now so I think I’ll wait until after the phone comes to get out today….I do have to go to the bank this morning but I think that is about it…I should clean and I think I might after I get the phone up and running…..more later….
Trump is a child….
Well…the self centered child idiot is at it again…with the uproar from his tweet basically trying to throw the 15,000 trans service members out of the armed forces, it might be a good idea too look at the motivation behind the tweet…other than the guy is just a transphobic idiot. There are reports out that had military lawyers trying to make the idiot understand that it was a complex issue and they spent hours and hours trying to get that through his big melon head…but, as with any child, trump couldn’t take that it was complex problem and that the lawyers continued to try to make him understand it….so, what does the child do? He tweets out the new policy to make the mean old lawyers go away so he could go back to watching tv…..he is ready to hurt 15,000 patriotic Americans just to get back to being the lazy ass that he is. I know I write a lot about this idiot…and I wish I didn’t have to…I wish he would just go away and leave us all alone…impeach…
Little things…
Well…into the third day of not having a phone and I think it’s the little things that I use mine for that I miss the most…like the temperature…it’s always at hand when I had my phone and now it’s a pain in the butt to just find that out…and even the time…when I was out on the bike today, there was no way to figure out the time…well..I could have done it with the computer on the bike but that takes about 5 different screens to get to….and the ability to check the news any time I want I think I miss the most…I know I have the nice new laptop that has worked just too great since I got it, but the habit of using the phone for the quick stuff is still there…I reached for the phone this morning out of habit…and I even did that on the bike today since I check for texts all the time….oh, well…just one more day to go and things will be back to normal…I hope….and there is a new “Sharknado” on tonight….and I got the notice that my SS starts next month and and it is more than I expected so that was a pleasant surprise…..will have plenty to live on and even buy some of the things I have been needing…..
August 6th
Well…another day of isolation here without a phone and it is getting pretty annoying….I did sleep okay last night and had dreams again so maybe the new mattress is working….I do seem to sleep better with it so that is cool….and, I took the day off the bike to wait for the new phone to come but it’s not going to get here til Monday….so, I’ll get on the bike in a few but after more coffee….not too sore this morning and my back is okay so the ride should be okay…..Tom stopped over to drop off some organic eggs last night and that was cool…can’t wait to see what the difference is from normal eggs….going to be a busy day for tv today…Ray Donovan comes back and the new Sharknado movie is on later so I’ll have to figure that out….more later….
No phone til Monday…
Well…the damn phone was supposed to be here today but it looks like it won’t come until Monday…grrrr……just checked the tracking and I am a little irritated….and after staying off the bike to be here when it was delivered….oh, well…I did need a day off the bike so I guess that’s something…
August 5th
Well…feel pretty crappy this morning and not having a phone is not helping…it’s weird being cut off from everything…and getting the new one set up is going to be a pain…I will be off the bike today waiting for it to come fedex….didn’t get a lot done yesterday other than getting the new phone ordered and it looks like today will be consumed with getting connected again…..at least my back didn’t hurt much yesterday and it feels okay today so far….might be a good thing to rest it and my legs, too….okay…not feeling this right now so I think I’ll just have more coffee and veg for a while…..more later…
My phone died…
Well….had another phone die today and it is such a pain in the ass….and I won’t get a new one until tomorrow…and I had to pay for it since my warranty ran out on the last one….I did get a nice phone for only 129 bucks…a Samsung galaxy S-7…and the retail price is over 600 bucks so I guess I got a pretty good deal….but, it is still a pain….
August 4th
Well…running a little late today and I just can’t get started….haven’t had any coffee yet and that may be part of it….had a pretty good day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…..was hoping to take a day off the bike but it didn’t rain enough to keep me from feeling guilty…and today looks the same…it’s only going to be in the 60’s today and that is pretty cold for Michigan in August…but it is not going to rain today so I’ll have to get out on the bike later….I did adjust the seat on the bike and that made the ride much more comfortable…not sure why I didn’t look at that earlier…not much to do today…no pool today since Tom has to work so I’ll just hang out and clean I guess…more later…
A new grand jury….
Well…these are the kind of posts that I like to do….it was just reported today that Robert Mueller has impaneled a new grand jury which will start it’s work by looking into the meeting where all the trump campaign bigwigs met with a bunch of Russians to get information about Hillary that would help the idiot trump’s campaign. As of today, they have started to issue subpoenas for any and all information about that meeting which I assume will include testimony from all of the people who were there for it….and that means Manafort, trump jr., and kirschner are all in their sights now….but it doesn’t end there…this grand jury is looking into money laundering that trump and his cronies were part of for years…and it is pretty obvious that they have them on that count given all of the information that has leaked from the investigation….these events tell us that there is there, there, and Mueller is close to indictments for at least some of the parties to the meeting at least, and maybe for the entire trump crime family. It is going to get delicious and I’ll pass on Keith Olbermann’s advice to the entire family…”flee now, while you still can”…impeach…
