Well….just saw an add by the fricking NRA that basically says that if Hillary is elected, everyone is going to die by crininals since she will take away everyone’s guns….and that is just such a huge lie that it pisses me off….not once has Hillary or anyone else on the left said they are going to “take away people’s guns”…they do say that some sensible gun regulation is needed…like background checks that over 80% of the American people support and only the guns everywhere crazies are against. But, when did the truth ever matter to the right and the NRA? Never….I think the NRA should be labeled a terrorist organization since they and their guns everywhere crap is responsible for many more deaths in the US every year than all of the terrorists attacks that have ever happened on US soil….that is the definition of terror…geez…

Well…it’s raining outside and that throws my whole schedule off for the day…oh, I did win at pool yesterday and that was cool..but the best part was getting out of here for a while….didn’t get anything else done so today will have to be different….I wanted to get the bike ride in before F1 qualifying comes on but I don’t want to go out in the rain so I guess it will have to be later…I did get a pork loin in the oven at about 6:45 and I am cooking it low and slow today….made a dry rub that it sat in all night and wrapped it in foil to try to keep the moisture in….we’ll see….I do need to get everything done before 3:30 since Michigan plays then and that will run into the State/ND game at 7, and there are races on in between so I will be busy with that…okay…need more coffee so I’m going back to the couch…..more later….
Another one for the B-3 count…
Well…just sitting here watching a documentary on James Brown and guess what I saw at the back of the stage…yep, a Hammond B-3…and it looked new since the clip was from the early 60’s….so, add another one to the B-3 count….
September 16th
Well….I wonder how I can be so busy when I have nothing to do…have been out to the grocery store again this morning…got a bunch of stuff really cheaply so I guess that makes it okay…and I need to get on the bike in the next 5 minutes to get back here to see F1 practice at 9:30 so this one may be short…I did get the car cleaned yesterday and that made me feel good but it’s supposed to rain later so it may have been futile cleaning it….I figured out the pain I’ve had in my chest the past couple of days…it was acid reflux….had a suspicion it was but heart problems were on my mind since all of my brothers had them at some time…but a zantac cleared it right up so that is a relief….and it wasn’t related to exertion so that was another clue….it’s pool day today but I don’t really have anything else to do so I won’t…more later….
I keep forgetting…
Well…this one may rate as a trail weirdness but it’s not really weird….everyday, I ride through this huge debris field at the intersection of Hanna Lake and 60th street where Hanna Lake t’s into 60th….someone missed the stop sign at the end of the road and went over the sidewalk and into the swamp that is right next to it….the skid marks show that they tried to stop, but it didn’t work and they spun the car or truck onto the sidewalk, leaving many, many shards of plastic, glass and many other things that I can’t recognize. Usually, there are big enough parts that I can tell what model the car was that crashed…not here. I think this is number 8 or so over the past 8 years….just strange…maybe not even interesting…but it is to me…
Deplorables…
Well…unless you’ve been avoiding the news lately, you’ve heard about the controversy where Hillary called Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” and with what we have seen since he started his campaign, the statement is mostly true. In it, she said that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorable for the violence and hatred they show…and being part of the “white supremacist” movement that wants the US reserved for just white people. But, I think I agree with what Keith Olbermann said on his webcast this morning that it is not true that half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable…it is 100% of Trump supporters that are deplorable. Anyone who could still follow and vote for any candidate who has said what Trump has said, is deplorable…and this deplorableness is highlighted at every Trump rally…just look the one in SC where one of his supporters sucker punched a 69 year old female protester….and at the same rally, another supporter grabbed and beat another protester inside the rally…and guess who got ejected…certainly not the violent Trump supporter…and this is the definition of deplorable….and it needs to be shouted that anyone who supports Trump IS deplorable….geez….
September 15th
Well….it seems that the days are all running together again…I think it’s kind of sad that the highlight of my week is going to the grocery store…when I don’t shoot pool that is….but, I’m not spending a lot of money so that is cool…I did spend over 50 bucks this morning and that did not include any meat…I did have to restock some of my spices and that is not cheap…I mean over 7 bucks for just some crushed rosemary and chili powder? Oh, well….I do have a pork loin to slow roast Saturday…going to make a rub for it and wrap it in foil to cook at 275 for 5 or 6 hours to see how it comes out….I may have fixed the pedal arm on the bike by lying it on it’s side and filling the cavity with loctite…..two days now without having to tighten it…..don’t have a lot to do today….started to clean the kitchen yesterday and that should continue today…or maybe the bathroom…or maybe the car….hmmmm….whatever, I need to get going….
A few things…
Well…really haven’t come up with a topic that would take a whole one of these so I guess I’ll just think for awhile and see what I come up with….it is pretty cool to see Keith Olbermann back doing his rants on the internet…they finally got the links sorted out and now I can see him every morning a little after 8…just what this campaign was missing…there is going to be some cool new science released this afternoon with the first data from the GAIA probe that has a 2 billion megapixel camera on it that is has been working for a few years now to make a map of the Milky Way…a 3d map that will be able to really show where we are in the cosmos….it’s goal is to map about a billion stars over the next few years and that should be really cool to see…We have the second lowest reported minimum of arctic sea ice in the history of records and the deniers are out in force saying “see…the ice is growing, not shrinking”…and that is worthy of a headslap when the trends are easy to see on the graphs…in a few years there won’t be any ice in the summer and it is due to climate change you morons….okay…that’s enough for now…I may come back for another one later if I can work up the outrage….
September 14th
Well….it ended up being a pretty good day yesterday with making some cash and getting some work done around here….and the pain in my thigh subsiding somewhat…so, as days go, it didn’t suck….hoping today will be be the same…I have a few errands to run after the normal stuff and I really do need to put the trash out and clean the kitchen….so, that will be the agenda for the day….might have to push the bike ride back awhile since it is sprinkling and I’m not sure if I want to get wet on the bike today…..I’ve been good for quite a few days now and that feels good in the morning….not sure how long that will continue…at least through today and maybe tomorrow…didn’t win the Mega last night but I do have 4 tickets to check Friday to see if I may be able to get a freebie’s worth of winnings….that would be nice….okay, need more coffee and to catch up on the news so I’ll have a topic to think about on the bike this morning…and, I am ahead for the month for the first time in a long time….
Does this one count?
Well…was just watching and episode of and old tv show called “Run for your life” and in the opening scene they have a jazz band on stage that has a Hammond B-3…does that count? I’m going to count it since it is so cool to see a show from 1965 with a B-3 in it….
