Well….yeah, the title says it all…just don’t have a topic for today so this one is just going to be filler…there was one thing about ole Ted Cruz….he has vowed that he will appoint “conservative” judges to the supreme court who will then outlaw gay marriage…yeah, Ted…you are never going to be elected so that’s not going to be a problem…and the 14th amendment doesn’t change just because you want it to….another time where the repubs are shown to be the huge hypocrites they are….real law and order until they don’t get what they want and then the court ruling is “unlawful”….what the hell law school do you go to? I’m sure they taught you what the constitution means…and yet you go on and on how illegitimate it is….what a poor excuse for a human being this guy is…hmmmm…might have to change the title…nope…I think I’ll just leave it…I did make the goal for the month so I guess that’s something….

Some noodling…
Well…since I have two more of these to do today, I thought I’d just noodle around and cover some small tidbits…one of our guys, Dylan Larkin from the Wings won the fastest skater at the all star game yesterday…beating a record that had stood for 20 years and it was pretty cool to see…that makes him the fastest skater in the league…or of the ones there anyway….have been watching the race since yesterday and it has been pretty good…and the first two cars are within one second after 21 hours so that is cool…might turn into a shootout for the last three which might keep me interested….Man U won their FA cup match yesterday but looked like they have all year…no energy or excitement…I have been hoping for a while now that they would replace Van Gaal as the manager and it looks like that may be coming if they lose their next match this week…the Iowa caucases are this week and I am really glad they are going to be over soon…after all, the 120,000 people who will vote on each side could set the nominees and I don’t think that’s right…just because they are first? Okay…that’s enough for this one…I will be back to do another one later….
January 31st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….slept okay last night but the bug is still here and that is starting to get annoying…have been coughing again like a two pack a day smoker and can’t figure that out…my back is hurting again and I’m starting to wonder if it’s my hip instead of my back…hope not…the back can deal with but if it’s my hip, I’m not sure what to do…haven’t been taking any pain killers so maybe that’s the next step…I should get to the kitchen today but I’m not sure if I will….I do need to do laundry but that will only take a few minutes…the race has been a good boredom killer for the past day but I need to do something else…Everton plays in a few minutes so that will be good to change over to…not much to do today…I do have to do two more of these today but that will be about it….more later…
Daytona 24 Hours
Well…one of my favorite days of the year has rolled around again and I am getting excited…it is the start of the racing season with the 24 Hours of Daytona running this afternoon to tomorrow afternoon….to me, this starts the end of winter and and that just can’t come soon enough….this first race of the year gives you the chance to catch up on all of the changes to the series that have happened over the winter…like Scott Pruitt no longer driving for Ganassi….a team he has been with for many years…and the only thing I know about the change is a one line news item I read a few weeks ago….and we have the introduction of the new Ford GT which will run in the GTLM class…one down from the prototypes….it looks pretty cool from the pictures I have seen and bring back the memories I have of them running back in the 60′s…and fox sports has the first 8 hours live so I will have something to take a nap to this afternoon….and will give me something to watch tonight with cocktails…..can’t wait…
January 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I even got a little done…slept last night and I think I’m making up for the few days this week that I didn’t…didn’t get up until 7:30 this morning and that is an hour and a half later than normal….did have some dreams that had free beer in them so that was cool, too….still have the bug, though and spent the night last night coughing like crazy…and that has continued this morning so I guess I’ll need to take it easy today to try to heal some…my back hurt yesterday, too, and I’m not sure why that would be…it felt healed earlier in the week and I’m sure I didn’t do anything to stress it…oh, well….I did get to watch the new James Bond movie last night and I’m not sure what to think of it….it was really long at 2 1/2 hours but kept me interested throughout it so I guess I’ll have to say that I liked it….not much to do today…I am going to clean the kitchen and watch races but that is about it..oh, and the FA cup, too….so that means I’ll have soccer for the day…..more later…
It gets worse in Flint
Well…as you should know by now, the state of Michigan and our wonderful governor (snark) poisoned the people of Flint for almost two years constantly saying that the water there was safe to drink when they knew it wasn’t…and another piece of the proof puzzle fell into place the other day when it was revealed that in January of 2015 the state offices in Flint started supplying bottled water to the employees there since they were concerned that the water was bad….something they didn’t do for the citizens of Flint until almost a year later…yep, they didn’t want their employees to be poisoned but it was just fine to poison the residents. This kind of crap happens every time there is a repub in charge…and in this case, an un-elected emergency manager who made the decision to change the water supply not to save money but I think to reward ole Snyder’s cronies that are getting sweetheart deals to build the new water system…what better way to make the new system necessary but to ruin the old one? What a bunch of crap…and typical repub crap…geez…
Okay…not sure if I want to attribute that much intelligence to those idiots…callousness, yes, but I don’t think they are that bright….
January 29th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….had no energy and felt crappy so I decided to take it easy after the grocery run…slept okay last night…at least better than the past two days but I still think I have a bug since I have been coughing again…seems to be breaking up, though, so maybe there is light at the end of the tunnel….I do need to eat more today since I think that is part of the fatigue and I have plenty of food so there is no excuse….didn’t watch the debate last night so I will need to read about it today so I can comment on it later….so far, the accounts seems to point to just the same old crap from those losers so my post may be a little redundant….not much to do today…have some stuff to do around here and the kitchen needs to be cleaned but that will come later after I have another cup of coffee…more later…
Trump skipping the debate…
Well…as you know, I have been loathe to write about old Donald…okay, I have done a few about him but this latest controversy of him skipping tonight’s debate deserved a few words from someone…and an idea that I haven’t heard in any of the news stories take on yet. To start, I find it funny that ole Donald is in a fight with Fox news who have been all Donald, all the time…but I think I also understand why he would skip the debate…after all, what would it get him to be there? He is ahead everywhere in all of the polls from the repub side and there is only downside to him being there…it could only hurt him in the polls if any of his opponents landed any punches so I guess it’s pretty smart to skip it…he is getting more press by skipping it and he just doesn’t care what anyone thinks so this appears to be logical…not that I would attribute logic to this idiot…but, this one time, it appears he has stumbled on some by accident….still going to be fun to watch….geez….
January 28th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool with a come from behind victory so that was cool….slept really crappy last night and have been up since 5 or so and that gave me about 3 hours of sleep last night…don’t feel too bad today, though, so maybe I’ll just roll with it for now…running late for some reason…I did do the grocery run but that didn’t take too long so I’m a little confused…and, you can see I didn’t come back for a second one…which is normal for pool day, but today I will do two more to make sure I catch up and don’t have to have any fillers this month….there are a couple of things to talk about that should be somewhat interesting so maybe it would be worth it to come back…not much to do today…I have stuff to do around here and some cleaning so I will leave it at that…I am getting excited that racing starts again this weekend with the 24 Hours of Daytona happening Sat and Sun…that should relieve the boredom some…more later…
January 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a little done so that was cool…and I was good for the past two nights so I feel okay today….had a weird, recurring dream that I didn’t like much so I won’t talk about it…woke up to my back screaming at me at again but it is already subsiding so I hope it will be better later…..didn’t sleep for crap last night but that is pretty normal for how it has gone that past few weeks….frustrating, but normal…..I am still a little grumpy with no bike rides but I have been working out every day so that is something…and with the snow last night, that gets pushed out again…but, I did read an article yesterday that said that we can expect much above normal temps for the next three months so maybe this will be one of those milder winters that I really need right now….and it is going to be in the 40′s sat so maybe that will be my top down day…I did have one earlier but I’m not sure if it was in Jan so I should get another one in…..not much to do today…pool, I think, but that will be about it…then back to the routine tomorrow…more later…
