Well…I was going to come back for another one yesterday, and after I just looked at yesterday’s life post I kind of cringed a little that it was another lazy one…I did have a nice day yesterday and made a little money so that was cool…and I met up with K for a couple and it was nice to catch up…and, it was a cocktail night so I should feel worse than I do…it may be that I don’t really have anything to do today and that’s the plan…to do nothing…well…I do have to clean up after the bike teardown since I have been chasing grease spots all over the place and I am getting tired of it….I do have some pork chops to grill today and then there are the Wings at ten so that will mean a nap at some point…did sleep okay, I think, but no dreams again so what’s the point? I think I’m going to go toast a bagel with cream cheese and smoked fish since I didn’t eat much yesterday and I can afford the calories…more later…

May 11th
Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d get to this one….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good…and the Wings won in OT to take the series to a game 7 Sunday night and I am excited about that…slept okay and just couldn’t get out of bed this morning..but I did and have already been to Meijers to get food for the next couple of days and now I hear that the coffee is done so I am going to go read the papers and have many, many cups….
Benghazi is just another repub witch hunt..
Well…I am still waiting for the “bombshell” that was promised by the idiot Issa in his fourth hearing on the supposed scandal of Benghazi…and the only people who are pushing this nonsense is fox news and the rest of the crazy assed right wingers who just “know” that there is a coverup that is “worse than Watergate” there….but the problem is that there is no there there….all of the facts have been out for months and everyone who is not one these crazies see it as what it is: a failure to defend the consulate from determined terrorists….that’s it…nothing more. Let’s not forget that on ole GW’s watch, there were 14 attacks on American consulates and embassies across the world with hundreds of people being killed but not one peep from Issa or any of his crazy assed cronies…no hearings, no “worse than Watergate” no nothing….and that is where this just stinks…everyone knows that Issa’s antics are just them trying pre-emptive strikes against the woman that scares the hell out of them…Hillary Clinton…and she will crush any repub that decides to run…not just that she is more qualified than Ted Cruz or any of the other idiots, but they are so locked into the most unpopular ideas that make up their platform that no one can sell that pile of crap….geez…
May 10th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I spent almost 3 hours trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…tore the entire back suspension off and found that the rear shock isn’t one anymore and that means I have to find a replacement…after all that, I found that the squeak was in the front handlebar clamp…I hope, but it’s been raining so I won’t get to test it today….I did smoke some chicken and fish on the grill and they came out okay…need to refine the process some but I think it will work…and, I have to remember to close the slider while I’m doing it…this place smells like smoke today and I won’t be able to air it out…I did sleep okay but still feel kind of crappy from the allergies…I am kind of glad that it is raining to clean the pollen off the car….not much to do today….supposed to meet up with T this morning for bloody marys and brunch and then out for pool later but that is about it…oh, the Wings play tonight in a do or die game so that will be nerve wracking….more later…
And now for something really stupid…
Well…I was reading an article today that had ole Boehner talking about how bad the deficit is and how it is the only important thing for the house to focus on…but his reasoning made my jaw drop and it is still on the floor as I try to absorb the stupid…his reasoning went like this: because we have run deficits for 55 of the last 60 years, it shows that the government needs to bet cut and live within it’s means or there will be some sort of huge catastrophe….get that? The deficit is so terrible that we need to cut head start, unemployment, SS, and every other safety net program…and we need to do it right now since we may get the same result we’ve gotten for the last 60 years….and that is nothing…no dire consequences, no total meltdown of the economy, no sale of the country to the Chinese, no dogs marrying cats…no nothing. And now, this piece of crap has just proposed a bill that would pay bondholders first if the repubs decide to crash the economy by not raising the debt ceiling…that means we pay China and the rest of the repubs buddies while the military, seniors, and everyone else that has earned benefits will get stiffed…just what you would expect from the repubs and this POS….the stupid runs deep here….geez….
May 9th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I fell asleep on the couch watching the Wings which is responsible for the soreness I feel this morning….slept okay but, with the deficit from yesterday, I still feel like I’m in a fog….but, I guess I’ll get over it…woke up this morning to the car being coated with so much pollen that I had to run the washers to see…need to take a photo of it…the entire car is a kind of yellow/blue and looks like I have been driving on dirt roads without a wash for a month…not going to wash it, though, since it is going to rain later today…I am going to smoke some fish and chicken on the grill today and I am excited about it…but, to get that done, I need to get the workout and bike ride in….more later…
I was right…
Well…not going to go into it much but I was right in the post yesterday that I removed….things end.
But, I have some rainbow trout and chicken in the brine to try to smoke tomorrow for the first time on the new grill…going to use cherry wood chips but probably should have used apple…but, who knows? I guess I need to start trying a few things and see which one works the best for the mood of the day…I may even have to have a beer while I’m cooking which I never do during the day…still am trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…driving me frickin crazy…. but we’ll see again tomorrow…I am looking forward to the Wings game later but I still need to nap so I can at least get through the first perlod….
The family values, integrity party?
Well…I had been watching the SC house race with Mark Sandford with some interest and also with some incredulity since he was so close through the race. I can’t understand…no, let’s change that…I do understand how his getting elected could happen…it is the same cynical political crap that runs through the repub party….everyone should be held to a high standard when running for office unless it is a repub…and we see the worst of this crap here….we have ole Mark…the cheater, the liar, the thief, the trespasser running on a platform of family values and the ignorant masses in SC only seeing that he is against the black man in the WH…what a bunch of hypocrites the repubs are these days…so, the next time they say a word about the foibles of any dem…just repeat Sandford, Sandford, Sandford, over and over again until it becomes a mantra….I know SC deserves this idiot…but why do the sane among us have to put up with his crap?….geez…
May 8th
Well….it was a day yesterday and I really didn’t do much…had to work on the bike to try to get the annoying squeak out of the seat post and hopefully that will be fixed when I take it out this morning….I do like the new handgrips…way less pain and numbness in my hands when I get done and they are very comfortable….I did sleep pretty crappy last night but there was a dream that I had to wake up from since there was not going to be a good outcome….and I will have to get a nap in today since the Wings game doesn’t start until 10 and I would like to see some of it….I did get a bunch of paperwork out to a recruiter but don’t really expect to have anything come from it….I do need to make the grocery run today since I am out of food and then run a few more errands….going to try to smoke some fish tomorrow and need the wood chips etc for it….more later….
Mourning is over..
Well…the mourning period is over and I do need to get done with a political one….so that’s what I’ll do…I find it heartening that the poll numbers of all of the repubs that voted against sensible background check legislation have hit the tank with drops of 10 to 20% and the spin has started with the idiot Kelley Ayotte trying to lie her way out by saying she voted for the legislation…and that is a big lie…what the hell do they expect when 90% of the country is for the legislation and the repubs ignored their constituents to vote for their owners at the NRA….
The purge continues across the country when any repub comes out in favor of all citizens having the same rights whether they are gay or not, or they are brown or black….I think the repubs should enjoy this next two years since they are setting themselves up for being the permanent minority party…and we need to help them along at the state level, especially here in Michigan so we can repair the damage these thugs are doing here…okay…that’s enough for now…not feeling it really, but I gave it a try…
