Well…running on time today and I shouldn’t be….feeling a little under the weather….slept okay last night but still no dreams to speak of…it was a pretty strange day yesterday but I got a few things done so that was cool….haven’t been on the bike in two days with the rain and it is going to be cold enough today that I’ll have to dig out the gloves when I ride….I am not ready for that but I should be with it getting to the end of October…..I do need to grease the pins on the car tomorrow and it should be warm enough to do that….not much to do today….just have no motivation right now but I hope to have some later…..need to clean and I have been thinking about going out to get a new coffee maker…or I can just buy more filters for the old one….more later…

A busy day…
Well…have been surveying the political landscape this morning and haven’t found anything that I really want to talk about so I guess I’ll just rummage around in my head and see what’s there…yeah, I know, kinda scary but I’m going in…it has been quite a busy morning with having to go up to the office to sign a new lease for one more year here…and that thing is 20 pages or so….not sure why but it is…and then the car barely started again today so I went over to the parts store and got my free replacement battery…but that turned into a major project since I had some rust under the battery that I needed to treat with the rust preventer…and then had to take the brackets out and do the same…and taking the battery out of the car causes the radio to lose all of my settings so I had to spend 20 minutes resetting all of the audio settings and the clock….and all of this in the frickin rain so I am still cold and wet….and I had to wash all of the clothes I was wearing since, if there is rust under the battery, there must have been a leak in the battery or the vent tubes that vent to the outside and I probably got acid on my clothes…luckily, the battery came with a new set of tubes so I installed them….and now I’m done….so, it’s veg time until Man U plays this aft….
October 24th
Well…kind of on time this morning…but, I’m still bored after being stuck in here all day yesterday with the rain…and it’s still raining so it looks like it may be a second day off the bike….almost 3 inches of rain yesterday…and now it’s going to be cold and in the 40′s so I guess I’ll have to start looking for the thermasuit to wear….slept okay last night and feel okay today if a little slow…have been feeling like I have a bug but I’m not sure how it could last 3 weeks…think I may try some allergy stuff today to see if that helps….I am going to talk about my back today since it started to hurt again yesterday but feels okay right now…just can’t get it to crack and that is annoying…okay…need some coffee and to read some news…more later….
Just noticed this the other day…
Well…it’s been a gloomy day and that has put me in a kind of gloomy mood…it’s the middle of the afternoon and it is so dark in here I had to put the lights on…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about…on my rides lately, I’ve begun to see political signs popping up along the route for the local election that is to be held in a couple of weeks. One thing that I have noticed about the signs is that the ones for the dems proudly say they are dems but the ones for the repubs don’t mention party affiliation….I wonder why that is? Especially since this part of Michigan is a hotbed of trumpism…you would think that they would be using that on the signs. All I know is if I ever see trump or repub on a sign…I’ll never vote for that person…period.
Now he’s calling a grieving widow a liar…
Well….I’m going to quit writing about the idiot trump for a while after this one since he just frickin disgusts me….I’m sure you’ve heard about the phone call he made to the widow of a fallen serviceman where he didn’t even know the soldiers name and basically saying with no empathy that “he knew what he signed up for”….then lied about what he said and then had John Kelly go out and lie his ass off, too…well…the chief ass made it worse this morning after the widow, Myeshia Johnson, went on a news show and told them how she was “very upset and hurt” by the idiot’s phone call and reiterated that idiot boy didn’t mention her husband’s name once on the call….of course, trump couldn’t let being called out as a liar go by without tweeting about it….lying his ass off that he mentioned Sargent Johnson’s name many times from the start of the call…essentially calling a gold star wife a liar…to go along with calling Rep Wilson a liar, too, who was in the car when the appalling call took place. Now, we all know that trump is the biggest liar the world has ever seen, but this incident points out his racism, too…a black soldier gets killed in action and he doesn’t even bother to learn his name, calling him “your guy” during the call and then smearing a black representative by calling her a liar and “wacky” in tweets yesterday. Now repubs, what the hell are you going to do about him? Nothing, I’m sure…just so you can gut the safety net and give tax cuts to your owners…impeach…
October 23rd
Well…running early today and I think I’m just bored….slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad this morning…my back is okay right now but I’m worried that it will hurt again in a while…that seems to be the pattern lately….I did get the last ride in a t-shirt in yesterday…probably won’t get out today with the rain….and it’s going to get cold starting tomorrow with highs in the 40′s for the rest of the week so I guess I’ll start looking for the warm weather clothes….still going to wear shorts for the next month so I’ll have to get ready for that…not much to do today….going to clean a little but that is about it…..and come back here for a couple if I can find some topics….more later….
He’s no president…
Well….with the four living real presidents spending last night in Houston at a concert/fundraiser for hurricane relief that raised over 35 million dollars….where was the fake president? Golfing, of course, for the 72nd time since the Russians stole the election for him….trump is not only the worst human being on this Earth…he is no president…he is just a selfish asshole whose sole purpose seems to be to make this country worse as he steals everything that is not nailed down….get moving Mueller, this idiot has to go…impeach…
It’s trump’s fault…
Well…as more details come out about our four Green Berets who were killed in Niger a month ago, it becomes more and more clear that it really is trump’s fault. First some background….we have been working with Chad (the country) on anti terrorism operations for quite some time in Niger with the Chadian army doing most of the heavy lifting while our soldiers were there to advise on tactics….but, what does the idiot trump do with the last “Muslim ban”? Yep, not being able to think past his next meal, trump put Chad on the list of countries that are banned from getting US visas…essentially saying that they are not good enough to be able to come here even to visit. So, Chad said the hell with that and pulled all of it’s troops out of Niger, leaving our soldiers to fend for themselves which got four of them killed…so yep, the idiot trump is at fault with this moronic Muslim ban that does nothing but allow him to hate on Muslims…and now our soldiers die for his hatred…nice job, idiot…impeach…
October 22nd
Well…running early today and my back is hurting again…crap….had been hoping it would continue to be okay but no such luck….slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning…I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday but it is becoming harder to eat when I never feel hungry….I did have fun yesterday getting my fall drive in and I’m glad I did it….today will start the rain and it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, too…so it looks like a day off the bike….I am going to get out today as soon as the sun comes up but it is already really windy out there….at least I have brakes on the bike again….not much to do today…I have been saying I’m going to clean and today I might….or I might not…who knows?
No politics today…
Well….as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one and part of it is I just forgot…had some stuff in my head when I was on the bike but got distracted….I did get a two park color tour in today…60 miles just screwing around since it looks like today was going to be the last warm day this year that it won’t be raining…and it is supposed to rain the next 4 days or so….the new brakes on the bike are working pretty good if I use both of them….I do miss the disc brakes on the mountain bike…only ever had to use the back brake and it just stopped….but, I think I am going to wait until next year to buy a new one….okay, the Michigan game is starting so I think I’ll watch that….
