Well….just got back from the bike ride and noticed I’ve gotten to 840 miles as of today…and with the 161 miles I put on the old bike, that makes 1,000 miles already this year…and that is the fastest to that mark ever….I think I beat the next fastest one by a couple of weeks…and another thing happened while I was out today that is pretty cool…going into the woods, there was a tree down across it so I laid down the bike to drag it off the trail…after I moved it, I looked down and there were 6 yellow morels poking out of the leaves…so I picked them and am going to saute them tomorrow…had to check to make sure there weren’t false ones that can kill you….can’t remember the last time I had them…yummy…

Well…okay, I know it’s time to get going but I don’t really want to….but, I guess if I just start then maybe it will work….slept a little better last night but still feel a little slow today so I think I’ll ease into it and let the coffee work some….I did get some stuff done yesterday and I may do more today but I have to cook, too, so that might be the work I’ll do…didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with the cold and rain…41 degrees in the middle of May is just too much for me to get out…and today looks like a long wait until it gets warm enough to go…not going to wear gloves anymore….my back has been cracking like crazy the past couple of days and the pain is gone so I guess that’s something…not much to do today…as I said, I’m going to ease into it and just have coffee and look at the news….more later….
I am SO bored….
Well…have done all the cleaning I am going to do today and I am bored, bored, bored….probably could do more but I just don’t feel like it…got the vacuuming done and moved my antenna wire for the tv and lost 3 channels and can’t figure out how to get them back…damn….I wonder if it’s the weather? It’s been raining all day and that has left me pretty grumpy without being able to get on the bike….and it is only 41 degrees and that depresses me even more…and I think I’m getting a new upstairs neighbor since somone has been clomping around up there all day…can’t wait to get out of here and into a house later in the year…at least there is light at the end of that tunnel….I wonder if I should wash the bike today? then it will be clean for the ride tomorrow…maybe that will keep me busy for a while…hope so….
They’re all terrible people….
Well…we have had evidence over the past year that every damn one of the cretins in the idiot trump’s administration are terrible people, and yesterday there was more evidence piled on the stinking heap that is this WH. During the hearings in the Senate for a new CIA director, (the nominee being Gina Haspel, who ran a black site in Asia where prisoners were tortured and who then destroyed the tapes of the torture to get rid of the evidence of war crimes) John McCain made the comment that Haspel is morally unfit for the office since she did and still does support torturing…and this elicited a comment from a special WH assistant Kelly Sadler in a meeting yesterday morning…and it is just sick…”It doesn’t matter, he’s dying anyway”….now I’m not a big fan of McCain, as you’ve read here but there is such a thing as common decency that does not exist for this WH and the denizens who reside in this swamp….there is a moral imperative that was destroyed by the torturers in the GW Bush administration and we need to get back to it…we do not torture…it’s that damn simple….and if the nominee for the CIA director can’t make that simple promise, she needs to go…geez….

Well…I think I’m running on time today since it is only a little after 7…..slept a little crappy last night and I wonder why that would be…it’s been okay lately so that’s disappointing….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but today will be different…not going to get on the bike with it being in the 40′s and rainy all day…in the 40′s in May? Cripes, that’s cold….so that will mean I’ll need to do something around here to keep the guilts at bay…vacuuming should be done and the kitchen could use a once over….I do need to run an errand this morning but that’s about all I need to do…going to marinade some more fish to have tomorrow but not until the coffee starts to work….more later….
Rudy got fired…ha, ha…
Well…if you have seen any news the past week or so, you saw the entirely deranged Rudy Giuliani on almost every show trying to protect the idiot trump but making his legal troubles much, much worse….and it now looks like that performance has gotten ole Rudy fired by the law firm he was working for. Now, they say he resigned but you and I know how that goes…”here’s the paperwork, now sign it and get the hell out.” No law firm that has clients of any importance could let their name be associated with the trump dumpster fire and Rudy boy did that….it is just so amazing that anyone who works for or with trump ends up losing almost everything and many of them are going to end up in jail…..so, I laughed at this one…being a partner in a prestigious firm is worth millions a year and now that is gone….I wonder how he’ll make up for it? I’ve heard that Michael Cohen has a slush fund that has millions of dollars running through it….or maybe he could sell a condo to a Russian oligarch…I think they have a lot of money….
It’s a slush fund…
Well…now we know a little bit more about why trump is so freaked out about the raid on Michael Cohen…it looks like he has been running a slush fund where corporations and Russian oligarchs have been pouring millions of dollars to buy influence with the idiot trump and his minions. I wonder if this is like the time they caught Obama’s personal attorney running a slush fund? Nope, that never happened in any administration but this one…well…Nixon’s, too, so I guess these idiots are in good company…the next question that will be answered is where did the money go? Just like the 100 million dollars from the inauguration slush fund that just disappeared, this money has to have gone somewhere and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up in trump’s pockets. One of the companies that were pouring cash in this slush fund was A T&T who just happened to want net neutrality repealed and just like magic, their 200K contribution got them just that….and there is a list of other companies that bought what they wanted by contributions…how much longer do we have to read about this rampant corruption every day? I am getting tired of the thinking of the ruins these assholes are going to leave when they are finally in jail where they belong….impeach…
May 10th
Well…running a little late today with having to go to 2 grocery stores to get what I needed…and it started to rain again so I’m not sure when I’ll get out on the bike today…and the high is going to be 50 tomorrow with rain so I do need to get out today since I may take the day off tomorrow….slept okay last night and even slept in til 6:45 which puts me behind for grocery day….but, I have my coffee and news now so I guess it’s okay….the bike has been working perfectly for the past couple of weeks so I think I have the shifter fixed…and it is nice have it working right…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will get the vacuuming done today before Man U plays…it is the next to last game in the season and they need to win to ensure 2nd place and the Champions league play this fall….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and cooking for lunch….more later…
How’s all that winning going?
Well…the fallout has started from the idiot in chief’s violating the Iran nuclear agreement by putting new sanctions on Iran…and the ink isn’t even dried on that piece of stupidity when Iran announced that it is cancelling almost 40 billion, yep, that’s BILLION, dollar order for planes from Boeing….and, according to the president of Boeing, it is going to destroy over 100,000 jobs that were needed to make those planes….How’s all that winning going trump voters? China is laughing all the way to the bank with that one since they are now the frontrunners to sell their new airliners to Iran to replace them. That’s not the only effect of this moronic move, on the Russian news shows this morning they are gleefully cheering on the US for violating the agreement since oil prices are soaring and that means billions of dollars more in their coffers…and higher gas prices here…up almost 20 cents a gallon this morning with more to follow. the rest of the signatories to the agreement have stated that no matter what the US does, they are staying with the agreement, leaving the US to do sanctions on their own which will never work. Stupidity, stupidity, stupidity….impeach….
May 9th
Well….running a little early today and it is cold in here since I forgot to put the heat on last night…haven’t needed it for a few nights but will for the next few days…slept okay last night and feel a little better today….not sure what is going on but felt pretty crappy yesterday and was stuffed up and couldn’t breathe so I think the allergies are flaring up again…I think I need to try to find a new medicine for it…or take more of what I have been using….got a nice ride in yesterday but skipped working out…I’ll get back on the machine today and it will have to be soon since it is supposed to rain around 10 or so and then continue off and on the rest of the day….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to vacuum and get rid of the cobwebs today…they are annoying the heck out of me and need to be gone….more later…
