Well…still feeling a little run down today but I’m here early so maybe that’s something….and I made some cash yesterday and got to run errands with the top down so that was cool….I did get the chance to talk to my daughter yesterday for a couple of hours and that was fun…ran the entire battery out on the phone….not too sore today and that is confusing…I should be feeling the effects of getting back on the bike and it hasn’t happened yet….maybe tomorrow….I am going to get on the bike a little later but I have errands to run again this morning….I did get my fed check in the mail so I can pay the rent next week and that takes a load off….and I have grocery money in the drawer so I can breathe for a few days….I am finally done with the leftovers so I’ll get to cook again today but I’m not sure what to make…have to look in the freezer…..more later….

Where were you in July, Comey?
Well…there is a hearing going on in the house today with James Comey on the Russian collusion with trump to throw the election his way….there have been a few things that have come out that are eye opening to say the least….that the FBI has a counter intelligence operation going that involves Russia and the trump campaign and have had one since last July…and that means that they are pretty sure the Russians were using the trumpsters to spy here in the US…and they are sure that the Russian actions were meant to hurt Hillary and help trump…they were not the innocuous “meetings” that trump has said they were but part of a Russian intelligence gathering operation. I don’t see how that is much different from what Comey did before the election…he was trying to throw it it trump, too. But, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt for a while… a very little while….the worst part of the hearing is the sick display that the repubs are putting on, not even trying to get to the bottom of the Russian interference…they think the Huuuge crime here is that someone leaked that there was criminal behavior going on, not the criminal behavior itself. This is your modern repub party folks…party before country, party before doing the job the American people elected them to do….so much for the party of the supposed patriots…they are perfectly fine that Russia threw the election…just as long as it’s to their guy….impeach…
March 20th
Well…feeling little crappy this morning and I was coughing all night last night…and I feel a little warm today so we’ll see if it is a bug or not….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get a bike ride in and that felt good…and it looks like I’ll ride again today after I get a few errands in….not sore at all after the ride and that is a little strange…that will probably show up tomorrow….it’s the first day of spring today and it looks like some rain and thunder today so I’ll have to ride between the raindrops….time is going by too damn fast lately and I don’t like it much…have to put it out of my mind to keep from going nuts….finally have few leftovers so I’ll have to cook today and that means some pork chops that I got last week…okay…need coffee…more later….
Team incompetence….
Well…I think there are pitfalls to filling critical government positions with golfing buddies and billionaires, and team incompetence (aka the trump administration) has just fallen into a huge one with Rex Tillersons first meeting with the Chinese. Now, this low energy idiot had to cut his trip short since he suffered from “fatigue” but not before giving the Chinese everything they wanted, basically telling them that they can do whatever they want and there won’t be any consequences from us….yep, this idiot just threw away more than 70 years of diplomatic efforts from both repub and dem administrations that had kept the Chinese in check and I’m not sure if it is just another instance of this whole administration just not giving a damn about being prepared or it is just plain stupidity on Tillerson’s part. Either way, our strategic interests in Asia have just been damaged for nothing…just from trump and his incompetent team….impeach….
RIP Chuck Berry
Well…forgot to do this one yesterday…if you haven’t heard, Chuck Berry died yesterday…I’m sure some of you youngsters don’t even know who Chuck was but he was a pioneer of rock and roll whose influence was wide and deep…I remember the first time I heard “Mabelline” and the drive and pace of that song was something to hear and was different than anything else out there at the time….haven’t listened to much Chuck lately but I think I’ll have to make a day of it today…RIP Chuck….
March 19th
Well…as I expected, I feel a little crappy today with going out to have a few with K and V and then back here for cocktails…it was nice to hang out with K and V…hadn’t seen V for over a year and it was 6 weeks since I saw K and that is too long….did make the drive to Mt. P but C was sick so I only hung out for a half hour and got back here by 2 or so….still made it a long day and I am feeling it today…so it will be a veg day for me today…Man U is playing right now and then there are races and basketball this aft…Michigan plays at noon and I don’t want to miss that…and I do need to eat more today since I only had about 1K calories yesterday and my entire system is wonky today…..might even get out on the bike today but I’m not sure about that….more later…
March 18th
Well….as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday and I may not again today….have to make a run to Mt. P today and 200 miles in the car takes a lot out of me….it was a pretty good day yesterday and I lost at pool but that was still cool….I think I may have a bug since my head is plugged up…or it may be allergies…who knows? All I know is I can’t breathe and I don’t like it….and I feel a little crappy today so the drive is going to be even more of a chore….but, the coffee is done and I need lots of it so I think I’ll end here….more later….
March 17th
Well…feel a little slow today so I think I’ll take it easy for a while until the coffee starts to work….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but a few things here and today looks like the same…although I am going to make corned beef and cabbage for St. Patrick’s day in a little while…starting to like cooking in the pressure cooker and I can’t wait to see how the corned beef comes out….still sore everywhere again today and I think I’ll just have to live with it…but I think I’ll try some ibuprofen this morning to see if that will help….haven’t been on the bike for two weeks now and that puts me back to square one when it warms up next week….but I already have over 300 miles on for the year and that means only 700 to go to get to 30K…okay, need coffee so I am going to get more and then veg for a while…more later…
Just one more….
Well….there is so much absurdity coming out or the trump regime that I am getting tired of writing about it…but, the thing I just read made me get up the strength to do just one more….in trying to justify the idiot trump’s budget that cuts PBS, NPR and many many programs that actually help people, trump’s budget director today came out and said “can we really ask a coal miner in west Virginia or a single mom in Detroit to help pay for these programs?”…now this is just another phase of this regime’s trying to destroy the sense of community in this country and our shared society…going back to the “I’ve got mine” that has driven the repubs for decades now…but the really sick thing is that they are going to ask that coal miner and that single mom to give up their health insurance to give the rich an $800 billion dollar tax cut…to “pay” for that tax cut…how can they ask them to pay for that tax cut? Because they are immoral bastards that are using the coal miner and the single mom as props for their thievery….impeach…
Meals on wheels vs. golf….
Well…just a shorty here on what the priorities of the trump administration are…as I told you earlier, trump proposes to eliminate the Meals on Wheels program that serves some of our most needy and deserving Americans since we “just can’t afford it”….so let’s take a look at what he thinks we can afford…every time he goes to play golf it costs over 3 million dollars of taxpayer money…to put this into perspective that would pay for over 450,000 meals for our seniors delivered to their door so they can stay in their homes…but the immoral trump thinks it’s more important for him to play golf than feed our seniors…that is one of the most sick things I have ever heard…and I’ll bet quite a few of these seniors he wants to starve voted for trump….impeach…
