Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was good again so I feel okay today..slept okay again…not as well as the other night but still better than normal…my back hurts today, though so the ibuprofen will be necessary for the bike today…there were dreams again and my Miata keeps turning red in them so I don’t know what that is about….I did finally get out to replace the coffee maker and got a nice one for 15 bucks that I just ran for the first time…pretty good coffee so that is cool…I also made some cash yesterday so I can pay my car insurance next week….I am happy that the car is so reliable…have not spent anything on repairs in over two and a half years…I know I don’t drive a lot but that is still pretty cool…put 15 bucks in the car last week and it still has 3/4 of a tank in it…not much to do today…the normal stuff but that is about it….I do need to do something before the summer is over and I’ve already done the beach thing so I’m not sure what that something would be….who knows? More later….

What to say about Lindsey Graham?
Well…as we all know, repubs lie and lie and lie all the time since they know there is never any consequences to their lies…and the same is going on with ole Lindsey…he has been touting his 33 years of military service on his website along with his training of other lawyers in the JAG office…only one tiny little problem there, when contacted, the JAG office could find no record that he ever showed up…not once in the 33 years he has been sucking up his pay as a Lt. Colonel and Colonel has he done anything to earn his pay…over the 33 years the only records of anything he did was 108 hours of training…in 33 years of taking the money…108 hours. Let me put that in perspective for you…my younger sister, in her 20 years in the Army reserve did two weeks every summer at camp Grayling here in Michigan…learning the skills she would need if she was ever called up…and that doesn’t include the years she spent touring with the Army Reserve band…..so in 33 years ole Lindsay did less time than my sister did in two weeks every summer…and yet he just kept on taking the pay and railing against people on welfare getting “free money” from the government…I guess it’s okay if a repub does it…but not a poor person that needs it…I just hate these lying asses…there should be some discipline for stealing your pay for 33 years…geez…
August 4th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but another wasted one that I need to change today…slept pretty good last night and I feel okay this morning…which is something I didn’t think I’d say anymore…I think the no cocktail idea is a good one and I think I’ll do that for a week or so to just see how it works out….but, no…I’m going to need a cocktail for the repub debate and Jon Stewart’s last show thurs….but that will be a late starter since I’ll have to stay up until almost midnight…and that’s late for me….have been making progress toward the goal of 25K miles on the bike and it’s down to only 900 more miles to get there….feel pretty good about that and my legs are back to normal finally….it looks like a week of great weather so I do need to wash the car again but I’m not sure why it gets so dusty so fast…..not much to do today…I do have to go out for the new coffee maker today and get some cleaning done but that is about it…..more later….
Jose Mourinho has no class…
Well…this one is going to be about soccer so I thought I’d get that out so you’ll know whether or not to continue reading….okay, so yesterday morning I was pretty excited that the ‘Community Shield” match was on tv…pitting the top two teams from last year in the BPL (British Premiere League)…and it was a pretty good match since Chelsea lost to Arsenal….I always root against Chelsea for some reason that I don’t know and I was happy to see Arsenal win…but, what happened after with the coach of Chelsea was one of the most no class things I’ve seen in a while….after getting their medals for second place…Jose Mourinho, the coach of Chelsea, was greeeting and shaking the hands of some of the Arsenal players he knows but when Arsenne Wenger, the coach of Arsenal got to him Mourinho turned his back on him and walked off the field, throwing his second place medal into the stands….just like a petulant little boy…this idiot disrespected everyone involved with putting on the charity game with his antics and I think he should be ashamed…geez…
Trump slush….
Well….just had to do a short one on ole Donald’s latest comment on Obama and his presidency….the other day, ole Donald said that it will be generations before we elect another black president since he thinks Obama has been a “failure”…..yep, a failure..who helped end the financial crisis, who worked to get millions of more Americans health insurance, and who worked with our allies to negotiate an end to Iran’s nuclear bomb program. I wish more presidents would fail like that. but the funny thing here is, by the Donald’s logic, we won’t elect another white president since the last one was such a failure…do you ever think before you open your mouth, you idiot? Man…have to try to figure out when stupidity became a requirement for the repubs to run for president…geez…
JEB!’s the smart one?
Well…as you all know, the repubs don’t really care about the constitution or the law for that matter unless it can be used to hurt people they don’t like…and, a couple of days ago ole JEB! showed just how much they respect the law when he proposed, if he were elected president, that he would unilaterally cut the pay of members of congress if they didn’t show up to vote on everything that is proposed…now, nevermind that their were over 5400 bills introduced last year and that would make it something like 20 a day they would have to vote on…the big takeaway here is that his little scheme is unconstitutional….the executive branch can’t do anything to the legislative…the founders set it up that way to ensure that power is never concentrated in one branch…and, if ole JEB! could control their pay, you can bet he would use it to punish those who didn’t vote ole JEB!’s way….I am not surprised that this idiot would propose something like this….he was supposed to be the smart one…and I am shuddering to think that ole GW may be the smart one compared to JEB! yow…..
August 3rd
Well…it’s back to the old routine today after getting the site back up Friday…so, here we go….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again…so today will have to be different….the storms were a little disappointing but the fog this morning wasn’t…pretty cool to wake up to but it is burning off now before I get the chance to ride the bike in it…slept okay but went to bed dearly out of just sheer boredom so that made for an early morning today….but, I feel okay so it will be a workout and bike ride day….not even sore at all but I will still take something before I get on the bike since my wrists have been killing me when I ride….not much to do today…need to clean and go out for a new coffee maker but that is about it…and then come back here for another one after I read the news to get some topics…more later….
Just waiting…
Well…sitting here waiting for the storms to come and thought I’d try to use my time a little better than just watching tv…the wind has been crazy today and it is getting even worse now…I’m glad I have my grill chained to the porch or it would be gone…but, that’s not really what I wanted to talk about…I am not sure if I’m going to watch the repub debate this thurs night…on one hand, it will be just the same old crap talking points from all of them…not sure why they are even having a debate really since they all get their talking points from their billionaires every day and there is little difference between any of them…tax cuts for the rich and the hell with anyone else seems to be what we’ll hear a lot of….and that women can’t control their own bodies since the repubs know better than a woman and her doctor….but, I may watch some of it just to see ole Trump go off on the rest of them and to see just how they are going to out crazy each other….but, then I’d need some brain bleach and I am fresh out of it..I do have one to do about Trump tomorrow…but there are so many things to write about I think it will take some time to narrow it down…or, there may be tornado tonight that I have to comment on….
August 2nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did drag the old coffee maker out so I could have coffee this morning…slept okay but no dreams again and that disappoints me some….not really sore today so I think the aspirin and ibuprofen is working quite well…and yesterday’s ride was almost normal so that was cool….and it looks like I need to get out early today to beat the storms that are coming later in the day….I sure hope we get some since some damn bird crapped on my car and I just washed it….not much to do today…going to just take it easy and clean a little…don’t even have to cook today other than veggies so I’m just going to enjoy it and let it flow…more later….
Noodling…
Well….have been sitting here today thinking about things…one weird thing that happened today still has me shaking my head…the wind was blowing pretty hard and I had the windows open with a flower pot on the sill…well…a gust comes up and pushes that 2 lb flower pot off the sill and into my coffee maker, breaking the damn carafe and spilling coffee everywhere….never have I seen anything like that…looks like I’ll have to drag the old 9 dollar one out to make coffee tomorrow…glad I kept it….is anyone else kind of creeped out by the new Col. Sanders? Every time I see those commercials, I think of Jon Stewart’s GW impression….I think I may have said that before….I have been making some money lately and that has meant lots of food around here…I think that has helped the dead legs on the bike but it is still hard to keep eating more….it is sure nice to have this thing working again….I missed doing these and having something to do…said that, too, I guess….it has been a nice day today but I haven’t really done anything but veg out…and that looks like the rest of the day, too….okay, that’s enough…going to watch part of the auction…..
