Well…I know I’ve talked about this before but damn, farmers are a bunch of dumb hypocrites who are now reaping the rewards from the idiot trump’s economic stupidity…and now since the tariffs are killing access to markets across the world, they whine that they need to be bailed out or they will go out of business..even though this is what they voted for…do they think they are special? More special than those with student loan debt that trump killed the relief from…more special than the hungry families who are being kicked off food stamps…more special than the cancer researchers who lost their funding…more special than the rural hospitals that are going to close with the cuts to Medicaid? You get the picture…why the hell should blue states pony up more cash to bail out these trump voting assholes? They shouldn’t…that is why we got the 2nd term of idiot boy…there were no consequences for voting for him so I say let these farmers go broke…it’s what they deserve after all….geez…

September 6th
Well…up and moving a little before 6 this morning and I’m pretty beat but the coffee should help with that after I get some of it in me…I can still hear the wind out there but it’s supposed to be down to 10 to 20 today so I’ll be heading out as soon as it gets light…I wonder if I need to do 3 rides today to make up for yesterday? Nope…I needed a light day and I didn’t gain 5 pounds from it so I can live with it…it’s a no leftover day today so I need to cook and I took some bacon out of the freezer so I can make breakfast for lunch and a blt for later…and I have breaded pollock fillets with fries for fish and chips for tomorrow…and I think I have pasta sauce to make some pasta for Monday…digging deep in the freezer now but I still have two containers of soup in there and two ham bones to make more ham soup this week…still have a book and a half to read before Monday but I don’t think I have enough to get through the weekend…oh, well…not much to do today…need to get the rides in by 9 and the math doesn’t work for that…it’s still dark and will be for the next hour and that will make me late for the MotoGP sprint race at 9…more later…
Way too easy of a day…
Well…the wind has been blowing like crazy out here all day from 30 to 50mph but that didn’t stop me from trying to get a bike ride in this morning…and I did try but only got about 5 miles out before a gust hit and I pulled something in my neck…so I turned around and almost didn’t have to pedal coming back…so only a 10 mile day and that is the lowest this year…I could have gone downstairs but the bike needs maintenance before I can use it so I’ll get on that tomorrow just in case…and I can try out my new rechargeable compressor that I bought for the car…after I got back here all I did was read and that was nice but I’m already working on the 3rd book since Thursday so it looks like I’ll have some no reading time Sunday afternoon…oh, well…and I think I’ll go back to reading right now for an hour or so…
Jobs are in the dumper…
Well…who’d have thought that putting an illiterate moron in charge of the economy was going to push it towards a recession? The past three months have only added 34,000 jobs with June being revised to show that the economy actually lost 12,000 jobs…and this is in direct comparison to the last two months of the Biden presidency where over 500,000 jobs were added…and qualified economists are now warning that the job market is “frozen” and are predicting a bloodbath coming in the next few months as economic growth ends…and there is only one person to blame…and we all know it’s the idiot trump and his ignorant henchmen…soon it’s going to be that the people who voted for this asshole are going to be out of jobs and broke and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch…after all, they saddled this country with the stupidest president in history who has saddled everyone with the biggest tax increase in history with his stupid tariffs…geez…
September 5th
Well…damn, up at 5 again this morning but there wasn’t a chance of getting back to sleep so here I am drinking my first cup of coffee at 5:40 and resigning myself to a day of sleepwalking from being exhausted…and the wind is howling so I may have to do an indoor ride for the first time since April…and that will take some work to get the indoor bike ready…and emby crashed again last night so I don’t have any tv to watch and that sucks…I do need to clean the kitchen today and figure out meals for the weekend but I really don’t care since I can’t taste anything anymore…okay…that’s enough of that…I do need to keep my 700 day streak of riding the bike going but I may only do 8 miles today to give my body a rest or try to ride outdoors in the wind…it’s 62 out there so it will be warm enough if I decide to go out…not much to do today…just cleaning and reading…I did finish the first book yesterday so that only leaves me with 3 for the weekend so I guess I need to parcel them out a bit….more later…
Got some work done..
Well…it’s 2pm and I am done for the day…got the rides in but at 48 degrees it was a little cold…and I put the top down for the library run where I got 4 more books and have started the first one…then I tore the couch apart, vacuumed it, and rotated the cushions…then dusted everything in here…but before I did that, I had to find a replacement for a foam filter that had disintegrated and a scotch brite pad worked fine…I really do think I need to replace the vacuum soon since it is almost 20 years old and sounds like a 747 taking off…probably should look on amazon to see what’s out there…I only paid 49 bucks for this Bissel and I’ll probably look for another one…but it will probably be over 100 bucks…oh, well..time for more reading…
Prices are not going down…
Well…the idiot trump is lying his ass off again today with saying that prices for everything are falling and fast…I guess he wouldn’t know about food prices since he’s never set foot in a grocery store or even bought any food…let’s talk about potatoes…two years ago a bag of frozen fries was 2.69 and guess what I just paid for one Tuesday? Yeah, it’s not lower at 4.00…up over 50% and let’s talk about meat prices, too…two years ago you could get pork chops on sale for 99 cents a pound…and now? 1.99 a pound on sale, more than a 100% increase…and I don’t buy beef anymore since those prices are ridiculous…two years ago I could get ground beef at aldis for 1.99 a pound on sale…now they never put it on sale anymore and a pound goes for over 5 bucks…luckily for me, I can afford to absorb the increases but a lot of families can’t so they do without…and a lot of those people voted for the idiot…what do you think now, maga assholes? He is going to starve you out and you’d still vote for him again…what a bunch of morons…geez…
September 4th
Well…running late this morning with my site being down when I got up…so I did the rides and went to the library first…up at a little after 5 this morning but was able to get back to sleep until after 6 so that’s not bad…allergies are still terrible and I’m still coughing so I may have to take something for it and I really don’t want to…I guess we’ll see…it’s going to be cool the next few days and I need to remember to close the basement windows since it’s barely going to get to 60…I’m curious to see what the big rain we got yesterday does to the lawn…there are patches of green in it instead of the brown it was all summer…but I think we’re going to need rain every few days to bring it back before winter…pretty sure I’m going to have to reseed a lot of it in the spring and that will be the big project for the year…not much to do today…just need to go over the kitchen and probably should flip the couch cushions today, too…more later…
Took it easier today…
Well…after filling the majority of the day yesterday with tasks, I took an easier day today with just the rides and reading…I did finish up the 5th book so I can get more tomorrow…it finally rained out here and heavy enough to turn my street into a river for the half hour it rained…I’ll bet we got close to an inch of rain in that half hour…rained so hard that it looked foggy and I could only see about a block in any direction…not sure if that will help my lawn much but it didn’t hurt it I’m sure…so tomorrow will be another easy one with just a little cleaning to do along with the bike rides and of course reading…time to get ready for tv…
It’s about time…
Well…with the idiot trump threatening to invade blue states with the army, a new idea on how to check his power is gaining traction across the country…with blue states financing a large majority of the federal government with some states sending over 4,000 dollars per capita over what they get back, it’s time for the blue states to shut of the tap of dollars going to the federal government…I mean why should blue states finance the invasion of their cities? And all of the red states are welfare states getting back 1.24 for every dollar they pay in taxes…so if the blue states want, they have the power to stop all of the illegality that idiot boy is doing…after all, trump and his cronies ignore the constitution every day and with California being the 4th largest economy in the world, if they just stop paying federal taxes the government will go into default and idiot boy won’t have any money for his bullshit…geez…
