Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get a lot done…some stuff, but not a lot but I don’t feel bad about it…it was a little annoying to have the site down all day but it’s working today so I thought I’d get this one out early…another night of crappy sleep even with some aids so I may have to stop using them and just take it…can’t be worse than last night and my body could use the rest….I do have a bunch of stuff to do today since it’s Thursday…the grocery run and then I’m going to make ham soup with the bones that are in the freezer so that will take up the morning…then I have to prep for the Wings playoff start tonight by getting the normal Wings update done…not much to do today…okay, have already said what I’m going to do…probably no bike ride with the rain that is supposed to go on all day…more later…

This is what happens when you don’t lock up criminals….
Well…I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to the presidential elections next year…it seems that the right is back to the same old crap with the same old people…tax cuts for the rich, gut everything else and grift as much money as you can. But, the worst part of the whole thing is the recycling of the criminals in foreign policy that were responsible for the debacle of the Iraq war, torture, and 2 trillion dollars in debt that we didn’t need to spend on an enemy that was faked from the start. These people are coming out of the woodwork for one reason and one reason only: the failure of the Obama administration to prosecute the clear lawbreaking that was done by Bush, Cheney and the rest of their administration that lied us into war and then tortured in violation of international law. By doing that, Obama broke the law, too, and the international conventions that don’t allow us to decide whether or not to prosecute those who torture or order torture…we are obligated to do so by treaty. Do you ever wonder why ole GW Bush and Cheney never leave the country? They would be arrested and sent to the Hague for war crimes trials just as other despots and criminals have been. This is what happens when you don’t lock up criminals…like cockroaches, they come crawling out from under their rocks and, since they were never charged with war crimes, spew their warmongering crap again and again….there is no statute of limitations on war crimes…let’s hope the next president has the guts to do what’s right….geez…
April 15th
Well…running really, really late again today since the server was down again all day until right now…I guess they have had hard drive failures over the past couple of days…it is kind of weird how much I miss doing these when I can’t do them…it’s like there is something missing in my life…how sick is that? But, let’s get right to it….it was an okay day yesterday and I got a lot done…finally had the cash to get all of the supplies I needed and spent almost a hundred bucks yesterday…but, I did get the new wax for the car and some wheel cleaner and then spent part of the morning cleaning it again…looked pretty good but it was covered in dust again this morning so I guess it didn’t do much good….it was cool to run errands with the top down yesterday, though….didn’t sleep well at all and that seems to be the pattern now so the heck with it…..haven’t had a lot of energy the past few days but you and I both know what that is…trying to fix that today but it is really hard to eat more than I do…since the day is almost over and soccer is on, I think I’ll end here and hope that the dang server keeps working so I can do the second one for today…more later…
Another crash and burn….
Well….I did have one thing that I wanted to do today and I forgot about it….I really wanted to watch Space X try to land their booster on the floating platform but I got distracted by other things and forgot…I did get to see the launch which came off great and that was cool but the landing didn’t go well…again….but they are getting closer and it will be cool when they finally do it….haven’t seen the landing yet but it should be pretty cool when it’s gets posted….that’s it….this one was fast to keep from going another one down….
April 14th
Well…running really, really, really, really, late today…the server that my site resides on was down all day today so I haven’t been able to do this until now…yow, after 6 pm…it was an okay day yesterday but it’s so late in the day now that I don’t remember it…must have just done some stuff around here since I don’t see anything new on the counters…the car is not wrecked, and the bike is not torn apart…so I guess not much happened…I think I slept okay since I felt okay today, too…but, what happened today I am going to relate tomorrow so this one may end up short…the spider bite on my arm is finally starting to heal and that takes a load off….but, I did have tooth pain last night that came out of nowhere but after a couple of ibuprofens, it stopped and hasn’t come back today…so, I’m happy about that…I did have a lot to do today…and got a lot done so I will have something to talk about tomorrow….maybe more later…..
Congress is back…
Well…I have been trying to think about what to write today and it occurred to me that congress is back so tomorrow there should be some right wing nonsense to comment on…but today, I still need to think of something…maybe a grab bag one would be in order….I did laugh the other day when ole Marco Rubio declared that he is going to run for president…yep, still laughing today…there is no damn way that idiot is ever going to be president…I think it’s just a grift to get donors to give him cash so he’ll have a nice retirement fund when he gets beaten in the next election….then, there was the Hillary announcement…which I viewed as inevitable but she is not my choice…either Bernie Sanders or Elizibeth Warren would be better choices since they truly understand the struggles of normal working people and actually try to do something about it….don’t need to say anything about Rand Paul…he’s just crazy and way too thin skinned to be president…and he shows the entitled white guy attitude every time anyone questions him….people will tire of that quickly….anything else? Hmmmmm…nope, not right now….oh, Space X is going to try to land their booster again this aft around 4:30 if the weather cooperates…should be cool to see….
April 13th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that is cool…I have drawer money again and that takes some stress off…didn’t get much done but watch sports and I do feel a little guilty about that…but, not too guilty…slept okay but feel kind of crappy this morning and I know it’s the allergies this time…looks like it’s going to be a bad spring and I am already tired of it….I did get a nice ride in on the bike yesterday and I am almost back to fitness…there were times that it was effortless and that felt good…but, no ride today with the rain starting already and forecast to go on all day….not much to do today…going to get some stuff done around here but that is about it….more later…
Some sports….
Well…I did get the bike ride in before the man U match and it was a good one…a couple more days and my legs will be back to normal…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about…thought I’d do a little sports today starting with the Man U match against City….for the first time this year, I saw a team that could be called Manchester United again…not the terrible team from last year or even from earlier in this season….and the result, a 4-2 win showed it…they were skilled, patient, and deadly when the chances came…I was almost tempted to turn the game off after they went down 1-0, but 6 mins later United tied it and then never looked back…great match, lots of fun. The Wings got into the playoffs Thursday for the 24th year in a row and start against Tampa on Thursday night…but, I just don’t have the confidence in this team I’ve had in years past….not sure if they will make it out of the first round but I am getting the gear ready and will watch. Oh, one last thing, the Tigers are just tearing it up so far…I know, it’s only 6 games in but they look like they’ll be 6-0 after today and that is pretty cool…might have to watch a few games this summer….
April 12th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…and today looks like the same with too much sports that I need to watch…and that starts with the Man U/ City match this morning at 11 that I am looking forward to…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I hope that will be fixed when I get on the bike…want to get out before the Derby but that is going to depend on the temp….I do have until 10 to get out and it is 41 so maybe that will happen…or, I’ll just have to wait and go out in the aft….then I can go out in just a t-shirt for the first time…..I did get out to see K and K yesterday over at Logan’s and it was nice to get a top down run in….not much to do today…going to clean a little but that is about it…and GOT starts tonight so that will be on….more later…
Had some topics…
Well….I am kicking myself today since I had a couple of topics that I wanted to do yesterday but I didn’t…and now I don’t remember what they were…so, I’m going to have to figure out how to not have that happen again…I can go back to the placeholders, I guess, but that invites me to cheat and I don’t like to do that….oh, that’s what I’m doing right now…damn….okay…have to work on dinner…be back in a while….
