Well….running a little early today with getting up before 6 and I really do wish I could sleep in at least one more time before I die…don’t feel too badly today and I should with not being good last night and skipping dinner….my stomach has been a little iffy lately and I may have to take something for it today if it doesn’t get better….haven’t had problems with it in quite a while and I’m not sure why now….oh, well….had fun out at pool yesterday and I didn’t win…maybe a tie? It was nice getting out of here for a while but it looks like I’ll be in for the next week….it is -7 outside right now so I won’t be going anywhere for a while…need to run an errand later to get some avocados and chicken legs…69 cents for an avo is a great deal as is 69 cents a pound for the legs….probably shouldn’t buy more food since I have way too much here and I am not eating a lot right now but I want some guac….the water is going to be shut off here today and that is going to be a huge pain…need to get ready for that in a minute…more later…

December 26th
Well…running a little late today and don’t feel all that hot….but, I had a nice day yesterday doing nothing….slept okay last night but still no dreams and I wonder how long that will go on…..need to clean the car off at some point this morning but it is too damn cold to do it now…it’s only 5 degrees out there and it is going to get even colder over the next week…need to charge up my booster battery to make sure I can start the car…..didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks the same…going to shoot pool today so there won’t be much time to do anything else…I am going to work out this morning, though…I still need to get some exercise….more later….
Didn’t know if I was coming back….
Well…didn’t know if I was coming back to do another one of these today, but I got bored and had to do something….I am a little disappointed now that I have watched the Doctor Who special in real time on BBC 1…not in the show…that was pretty good…but that I don’t have it to look forward to for later tonight….I did have a nice ham dinner today and I am stuffed…may not need any more food today and that is okay with me….I did get a photo of the car smothered in snow to post on facebook for the insane Miata winter drivers group….haven’t heard from any of the kids today but they know the day is just a Monday to me so that’s no big deal….hmmmm…anything else? Nope, not really so I’ll end here and go back to vegging….
December 25th
Well….running a little late today with going out to get a paper in the snow….and the perfect music came on my player…”No Quarter” by Led Zeppelin….it is snowing like crazy and I could barely see…and I was almost laughing with how well the car gets through the snow…but, I’m in for the day now…slept okay last night but was not good so I am feeling it this morning….but that was the plan….didn’t get anything done yesterday and today will be the same but I am going to cook a ham in a few minutes and then just let the day unfold…I am looking forward to the Doctor Who Christmas special that is on tonight….and we’ll see the first female doctor…..should be cool…..had to get my watching of “a Christmas Story” in this morning…I guess it’s the only tradition that I still do…other than going out for a paper…..more later….
Tax cut lies…..
Well….just one thing about politics and then back to normal stuff…I’m sure you heard the cheeto asshole commented to people he was having dinner with “I’ve just made you guys a lot richer” so if you’ve bought into the lies that the tax cuts will benefit you and I, you are dumber than you look. Okay, just a few more comments on that….if you want to know who benefits, you just have to look at AT&T and their behavior…trying to crow that bonuses they were going to give out were a result of the cuts…but, the union representing those workers called foul on that lie…the bonuses had been negotiated months ago….long before the tax cuts happened…and here’s the kicker, the liars also announced, very quietly, that they are going to lay off over 1,000 workers…so, the other lie that the cuts will create jobs is just that…a blatant lie. Geez, I just hate these guys…impeach….
December 24th
Well…feeling a little slow this morning and there is a good reason for it that I won’t share right now…slept okay last night and that is a good thing…but I forgot to take ibuprofen before I got on the bike yesterday and that leaves me sore today…but it’s a good sore that will have to do me for a couple of months….didn’t do much yesterday but I did get out to see K for a couple and that was fun…hadn’t seen her since the early part of November and that’s too long….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will try to do something today…don’t need to cook today with leftover stir fry and tacos….and I forgot to have dinner last night so I may have to double up on calories today for fuel…not much to do today….just going to ease into the day and take it as it comes….more later….
Last ride of the year….
Well….just finished looking at the weather forecast for the next week and it looks like today was the last ride of the year…and that is really depressing…but, there is no way I’m even going to try to go out next week since the highs are only going to be in the teens and that is just too damn cold even if the trails are clear….so I guess the total for the year is going to be 3,072 miles which is not bad for and old guy….and for wearing out a bike and having to shift to the antique…I think I’ll keep it in running order this time so I can still take it out even after I buy the new one in February…..didn’t get to the thousand miles that I hoped for on the old one but that’s okay…one weird thing is that I haven’t had a flat on the old bike when I normally have two or three a year on the mountain bike….I guess it’s hibernation time until April….but, I’ll keep my fingers crossed that we may get some dry times this winter and I can get out again to start the year….
December 23rd
Well…sitting here a little disappointed that I got distracted and forgot to put the water in the coffee maker and now I have to wait for it to cool down so I can start it….luckily, I did have a leftover cup in it so I can have some coffee while I wait…slept okay last night and really don’t feel too badly this morning….I am sore from riding the bike the past couple of days and it looks like I’ll be able to get out again today…will take some ibuprofen before going out today to keep my legs from getting worse…hope it’s dried up some on the trail today…it was wet with the perfect temp for ice formation on the bike and by the time I got back here, the small front sprocket was unusable with ice buildup that covered the teeth….my shoes were even blocks of ice when I got back here and it took most of the day for my feet to thaw….not much to do today…going to make some pork stir fry for lunch and do a little cleaning but there are soccer matches on all day with Man U finishing it up at three this aft and that may keep me busy….more later….
Are they all damn liars?
Well….it’s beginning to look like being a huge liar is the only skill that is necessary for the idiot trump’s administration…I mean, have you ever heard any of them ever tell the truth? Now we have a local boy, Pete Hoekstra, who has been added to this liars group as the ambassador to the Netherlands…and ole Pete really stepped in it yesterday when the Netherlands’ press asked him a question about his lies about “no go zones” that were supposed to exist there…where no one but Muslims could go…you remember that one from the campaign don’t you? Yep, and it was supposed to be in every European city that this was happening…never mind that it was all a lie pushed by fox news. Of course when asked, ole Pete went to the liars playbook and denied ever having said it,calling it “fake news” but then the reporter played him a clip with him saying exactly that…when the reporter called him out on the fake news comment…from earlier in the interview guess what ole Pete did? Of course he lied about even saying it…saying “I didn’t use those words today”…but he did. This crap, and these idiots are why the standing of the US in the world has plummeted since trump cheated his way to the election win….and why the rest of the world is just ignoring us now…that sure is making America great again….impeach….
December 22nd
Well….just got the first cup of coffee but it isn’t working just yet…hope it starts soon since I feel a little slow today…slept okay last night and didn’t get up until late so this one is a little late…but, again, late is just relative these days….I’m not as sore as I expected today and it didn’t snow as much as expected so I think I’ll get out on the bike again today….but I have some errands to do today first….don’t want to be out in the stores after today….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but today will be different…okay…it MAY be different but I’m not going to promise anything….don’t have to cook today but I am going to make a pork stir fry tomorrow out of some pork loin that was in the freezer….not much to do today…going to clean a little but that is about it….more later…
