Well…I’m sure you’ve heard by now of the latest nonsense coming out of house repubs…yesterday two of these idiots filed articles of impeachment against Rod Rosenstein for doing his job investigating the crimes of trump and his cronies. The biggest laugh about this whole thing is that one of the guys pushing it is Jim Jordan, you know, the guy who was a coach at Ohio State and looked the other way as hundreds of athletes were molested by a team doctor there…and Jordan knew this was going on…at least 10 of these athletes told Jordan what was going on and he just ignored them…so to have him have a hissy fit about Rosenstein is just a laffer…he should be in jail right now and he may yet be charged with a felony for his part in the scandal. Another reason that these charges have been filed now is that these guys are heading back to their districts to try to raise money for their campaigns…and, what has been shown is that attacking Rosenstein is a money maker for repubs…so, take it all with a grain of salt…these articles will never see the floor of the house…it’s all just theater…impeach…

July 26th
Well…of course I’m running late…it’s a Thursday after all and I did need to do the grocery run…. and I spent over 50 bucks and got nothing….and I didn’t win the 500 million dollar lottery…so, I’m depressed….slept okay last night but don’t feel that hot this morning and I know it’s from not eating enough…so, I’ll have to fix that today…still eating out of the freezer and I’ll have to see what I want for the weekend….I did wear my new shoes out today and they are pretty darn comfortable….and I like the clean look….I do need to stop at the farmer’s market to get some tomatoes today but I’ll do that on the bike since my last water stop is only 200 yds from it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I’ll need to work on the kitchen today and unload the dishwasher….or not, who knows? More later…
Finally got new shoes…
Well….just got back in from trying to even out the biker tan and I can’t believe I got scorched after only 25 minutes each on front and back…but that’s not what this one is about…I finally got a new pair of shoes today! Have been talking about doing this since at least January but everything didn’t come together until this week when I got some coupons from the Tanger outlet stores for 25% off any purchase. So, I headed over to the Skechers outlet store today and found some really cool (at least I think they’re cool) leather slip on, memory foam shoes for only 45 bucks after the coupon…not bad for a shoe that retails for 80 bucks. They are probably the lightest shoes I have ever had…I think they weigh what my new running shoes do and I thought they were the lightest shoes ever…these things are pretty damn comfortable and I can’t wait to break them in….they are even kind of stylish…I think….
trump and his cronies are just the worst…
Well…not in the mood to do a long one right now so I’m just going to do a few quick hitters…it was just announced that the WH won’t provide transcripts of the idiot trump’s calls with foreign leaders anymore…damn, what are they trying to hide? Even the repubs don’t like the 12 billion dollar bailout of farmers that idiot boy is planning, especially since all the problems were caused by the idiot in the first place…maybe now they’ll take that power away from him? Now idiot boy is planning on a 25% tariff on imported cars wherever they’re from…economists have already said this could cost thousands of jobs here and is already prompting Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes to stop investing here since tariffs put on the US by other countries have raised their cost so much it just doesn’t pay to invest here anymore….this is just a few of examples of all the damage being done by the idiot in the WH….how’s all that winning now? Impeach…
July 25th
Well….running a little early today since I need to get out on the bike before 7:30 to see the Tour…and it is really foggy out there and I like to ride in it…slept okay last night but had pain in my right ear from the earplug so I had to take it out…I may try to not use them anymore since the loud furnace upstairs is gone….I do have cramps in my calves already just walking around here today so I will have to take something before I get on the bike…didn’t get a lot done yesterday…no, that’s not true…got a bunch of stuff done toward getting a house and that is something…I wonder if I should skip the work out today….I have until 9 to get back here but I need coffee first so I may skip until tomorrow…more later….
Wow…I’m really ahead for the month…
Well….just looked at the counter and saw that I am ahead for the month by 11…and now 12 posts…that doesn’t happen very often and I’m not sure why it’s happening now…oh, well….I did get a good bike ride in today…my legs felt like they were supercharged and I could do whatever I wanted without any fatigue or pain…it made for a great ride today and that was on only two cups of coffee…I may have eaten enough yesterday and I think that has a lot to do with it…going to try that again today with making mac and cheese for the first time in over 10 years…and, I’m going to use real butter to make it…I did see that butter will keep on the counter for a week so it will be soft to use…going to have to take Tom’s suggestion and buy a butter dish
Thursday to give it a try…oh, and I did get the papers in today to cash in the life insurance to be ready to buy a house when I find one….was pretty easy but I ran out of ink for my printer…so I bought an entire set of 4 tanks from a re-manufacturer for only 9.81…so we’ll so how well they work…buying the same tanks from Epson was almost 40 bucks and I can buy a new printer for that amount…it’s just hard to throw a printer away that still works fine….
Well she’s going out of business…everything must go
Well…as soon as I read that Ivanka’s clothing company is shutting down after many, many stores fled once they got a true picture of the trump family and how terrible she is and they are….the line from Steely Dan that I used for the title immediately popped into my head and I knew I had to use it. By the way, it’s from the song “Everything Must Go” from the album (yeah, I’m that old) Everything Must Go. It appears that it’s just another trump going bankrupt again and stiffing her employees which is the trump MO…she’ll run away with the money she has been siphoning off or her golden parachute and hundreds of people will be out of jobs….objectively, these are the worst people in the world…to borrow from Keith again…good riddance….
Buying votes with tariff bailouts…
Well…if it wasn’t bad enough that the idiot trump is killing jobs across this country with his idiotic tariffs, he is now planning to spend 12 billion of our dollars to bail out his buddies that have been hurt by the tariffs. Yep, you heard that right…we can’t afford to spend 6 billion dollars to keep the Children’s Health Insurance Program going, but we can spend twice that to pay for trump’s stupid mistake of starting a ‘winnable” trade war. The deal here is that trump’s support in the midwest is cracking when thousands of farmers have seen their profits plummet with the retaliation of our trading partners and the tit for tat tariffs that they have put on American farm products…China has gone so far as to stop buying American soybeans which has made the price plunge below the profitability line…so trump has to buy back their votes with corporate welfare that will insulate them from the tariff’s effects…hmmm…I wonder if they are going to drug test the recipients of these payments…they are doing it with poor welfare recipients, I think they should do it to these corporate welfare queens, too….god, these guys are stupid…impeach….
July 24th
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday…it was a busy day and I just couldn’t think of a topic…I know, there are lots of things happening but I get tired of writing about the rampant corruption going on right now….I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and had lots of laughs which is always fun…and then out to pool which I lost but had a nice ride out and back with the top down…slept pretty crappy last night with lots of thrashing and woke up around 3:30 for the final time so I think I’ll have to have a nap later…my neck is still hurting from sleeping on it wrong and this is about a week now and that is really getting annoying….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I have things that need to be done today so I will have to get moving soon….but, more coffee first….more later…
July 23rd
Well….having a hard time getting started today and I’m not sure I want to…I could easily go back to bed and I just might…okay, not bed but maybe the couch….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today and I hope the coffee helps…didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same with lunch with T and then out to pool later….I did get a bike ride in just before the rain yesterday and it was nice to have a dry day….I do need a maintenance day at some point in the near future since I have been on the bike for over three months now without a day off…and the low grade pain that I have every day could go away and I wouldn’t miss it…not much to do today…I am going to ease into it this morning and have lots more coffee before I work out….more later….
