Well…as you know, I have vented my frustration with how Manchester United has been playing this year with it’s worst start in 28 years and no hope of getting to the Champions League next year. Today, though, we Red Devils fans got a Christmas gift with the sacking of Jose Mourinho as manager and I say it has been way too long coming. Under Mourinho, Man U has looked an ordinary team for more than a year even with all of the talent they have and the money they have spent…Jose turned them into a plodding, ugly team to watch and every game has left us guessing what team is going to show up…and I put that squarely on the manager…now, there is plenty of blame to go around and much of it is the players themselves who seem to be phoning it in at times and I’m not sure if it was conflict with Jose or what but maybe, just maybe we can have some hope to see our Man U team be Man U again…it will be interesting anyway….

December 18th
Well…woke up really sore this morning and I’m not sure what it’s from…I think I pulled something in my left hamstring since every step I take is like someone is stabbing me in the back of the leg and I can’t remember ever having this pain before…not sure how that will affect the bike ride today but I think I’ll take something for it before I go out…but that will wait for a while with it only being 22 degrees right now and I am not ready to take that cold….had a pretty nice day yesterday but had a little scare with the car…noticed a puddle of something under it at the bar after shooting pool but it must have been from some other car since the car ran fine and didn’t have any leaks when I got back here so that was cool…and I won at pool…it appears the coolant is down about a half pint and I’ll take care of that today as I wait for the temp to come up….have to add a little coolant about once a year so this will be the yearly top up…I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday morning so that means that I really don’t have much to do today but clean a little and watch the SpaceX launch at 9…more later….
December 17th
Well…it’s 6:09 and I’ve already been up for 45 minutes…not sure why that’s important…or if it is important…I wonder what it would be like to start my day later like a normal person…oh, well…still feel a little off today and I hope that stops soon…this has been going on for a few days now and it makes getting started a little tough…again…oh, well…didn’t get much done yesterday but go out and have a couple with K and the bike ride which was some fun going out in the ice fog but I froze with getting wet and that took some time to thaw when I got back here…and that wasn’t fun…have a bunch of stuff to get done this morning starting with getting my hair cut and then to Target to get some 3 buck t-shirts and then over to daily deals to get some chicken and ham…and a small apple pie for 99 cents for dinner next week…but, right now…I need some coffee and to just sit here and veg for a while until I feel better….more later…
Stuff….
Well…sitting here watching Man U lose again so I thought I’d just do one of these for a minute to talk about nothing really…there was one weird thing that happened to me when I was going to bed last night that is still confusing me some…if you’ve ever heard of tinnitus, it is constant whistling or screeching in your ears that is normally the result of exposure to high noise levels…and I have had it for years and years…but, last night when I went to bed and put my earlpugs in, it stopped…and it kind of confused me…I knew something was different but it took me a minute to figure it out…the unfortunate thing was that it was back whistling when I got up this morning and that was a little disappointing…..I wonder what I did that made it stop…that could be a project or a science experiment for the next few weeks and could help with being bored….
December 16th
Well…it’s Sunday and I’ve already read the paper and had my first cup of coffee and it’s only 7…that is going to make for a boring morning but I do get to get out on the bike here as soon as the sun comes up so that is something to look forward to…it really hasn’t been a bad December for the bike and I have my fingers crossed that the weather will continue to cooperate…and it looks like it will for the next week or so…no snow at least and that lifts my mood some…I did sleep okay last night and didn’t get up til 5:47 so that makes it almost 7 hours and I’ll take that any day…but, I felt like crap for the first half hour or so and I’m not sure why that would be since it was a light night last night…I do have a headache and I think I’ve had it for a week now so I think I may have to take something before I get on the bike…and that may help with hand cramps I’ve been getting lately…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but a little light cleaning and I think I’ll do a little more of that today…but, I need to see Man U at 11 first and that means I need to get out on the bike as soon as the sun comes up…not going to rush that, though….I do have time after all and have to remember that I don’t have to rush anymore….that’s a hard habit to break….more later…
Doesn’t trump know anything?
Well…I am just shaking my head about the debacle of the idiot trump trying to find a new chief of staff and having everyone he wanted turn him down since they don’t want to be the chief of dumpster fire and go to jail themselves. After a couple of weeks, idiot boy settled on Mick Mulvaney to be his “temporary” chief of staff along with being the head of OMB….a job that he had to be confirmed for by the senate. That right there is why this pick is so damn dumb and to be expected from trump and his cadre of third stringers…they don’t know anything of how the government works and that is why they made this stupid pick…anytime that the House or senate wants now, they can call the COS to testify on any topic in front of any number of committees since he was confirmed by the senate…and he must tell the truth under penalty of perjury… so now anything that Mulvaney hears from trump or his cronies is going to be available to the dems….I wonder if trump knew that he was hiring a mole? Of course he didn’t…he doesn’t know anything so why would he know this? I thought I’d seen the dumbest acts from the dumbest person in the country before…but this is the gold standard of dumb….impeach…
December 15th
Well….damn…I think I have a cold…my head is plugged up and I feel like crap…we’ll see as the day goes on…slept okay last night and stayed in bed until almost 6 so that was cool…still tossed and turned a lot but slept on my right shoulder and it hurts like crazy this morning…okay…going to stop bitching right now…had an okay day yesterday with a good, long bike ride and it is cool that all the ice is gone and I got some sprints in finally…and I can’t wait to get out today with the ice fog outside…hope it’s not making the trails icy…didn’t get anything done yesterday other than a little cleaning and today will be the same….might have to figure out what to cook since I am getting bored with eggs and kielbasa although I made an omelet yesterday that was pretty good…and I may do another one of those today….but, not right now…I need coffee and and to watch the formula e race that’s on now…more later…
Just the best investigations…
Well…just saw a little article that made me laugh out loud…as you know, there are investigations of trump and his cronies everywhere but it never dawned on me that everything trump is under investigation…yep, with the announcement yesterday that the trump inaugural is now under investigation, every damn thing that trump has touched in his life is now under investigation for criminal acts….let’s compare that to Nixon even…nope not everything Nixon touched was under investigation…not for money laundering, not for working with a foreign power to steal his election, not for looting his inauguration fund, not for having a fake charity that was used like a personal piggy bank….you get my drift…until now, Watergate was the worst political scandal in the history of the country but trump beat that out even before he was elected…or kinda elected…you know, for a while there, I thought trump was going to get away with it with the repubs conspiring with him to protect him from his criminality…but not now…he is already implicated in two felonies and will pay for them when he is out of office…and the new AG of New York is going to investigate everything trump as soon as she takes office in January….and, if there are no crimes there, I’ll shut this site down and go live in the woods like a hermit…and, there are no pardons that can save idiot boy from state crimes….is it too early to grin? Don’t think so…impeach…
December 14th
Well…running a bit late this morning and just can’t get moving…had luck going back to sleep after getting up for the first time at 5:04 so that puts me late but that’s okay…what the hell do I have to do? Had an okay day yesterday and a long bike ride and it looks like I’ll be able to do that again after the rain stops this morning…the trails were clear of ice yesterday…almost…so this should take care of the rest of it…it was nice to finally not have to think for every foot and get back to the mindless, thinking rides that I like…I did go over 3300 miles a couple of days back and now the goal is to finish the year strong and get to 3400 for the year…and that’s just on the new bike…I guess it’s not new if it has 3300 miles on it…I do need to work on the shifter since it’s still hanging up on the 6-7 shift but I think it’s just dirt so I’ll soak it in lube before I go out…didn’t get anything done yesterday but the grocery run…just can’t get motivated lately and I hope I can work through that today and get some general cleaning done…or not…who knows? More later….
Yow….what an afternoon for the idiot trump…
Well…just got caught up with the news from the afternoon after I finished watching soccer and all I can say is Yow! If yesterday with Cohen’s sentencing and the fact that trump directed two felonies was hard for the idiot boy…today was a gut punch with the revelation that the feds have a criminal investigation going of the trump inaugural and how the 107 million dollars they raised was spent and what part of that money was to buy access and get favors from trump and his cronies. This investigation has even drawn in trump’s wife since her best friend was paid 26 million dollars to “plan” some of the balls and events that were held…I wonder where that money went? Kickbacks to line trump’s pockets? Oh, and one tiny little detail came up in the mistress payoff, too…NBC news has just reported that they have proof trump was in the room when the payoffs were discussed…man, I can’t wait for the tweet storm from this one…how many more instances of criminality do we have to put up with before trump is impeached and locked up? Oh, one last thing that came up from one of the people who worked on the idiot boy’s tv show….trump was constantly snorting Adderal while doing the show…I wonder if that is why the idiot is so weird all the time? Geez…impeach this asshole already….
