Well…irony is really and truly dead as of last night at the idiot trump’s rally in NC…the idiot was in town to “help” another repub to get elected to the House in a special election that is being held since the last one for this district was voided for…wait for it…voter fraud perpetrated by the repubs there…but that doesn’t matter to the first no truth administration in the history of the country…and trumpy boy went on and on with his schtick about “massive” voter fraud in California when there has never been a documented case of it there…but it happens all the time in repub controlled states. Why doesn’t the media ask trump for proof of his assertions? Why don’t they just call him a liar and then stop listening to him? trump hasn’t earned any respect from anyone and don’t give me that crap that is respect for the “office” that is keeping reporters from challenging him….while he is in office, there can be no respect for the office…trump has debased it too much…impeach…

September 10th
Well….that was weird…just woke up from a dream where the Miata rolled down a hill and into a pond and sank…but the strange thing was that it was red and the house was a composite of my old house and the one I’m working on….just really strange…but, I slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy this morning…just off for some reason and I’m hoping the coffee will help soon…going to try to get out on the bike before it rains but that means I need to go as soon as it’s light enough to see but that won’t be for a half hour or so…I did have to work on the bike yesterday since the 5-6 shift has been hanging up and it needed a cleaning…so, I’m hoping that getting the gunk out of the shifter will help….it will be nice to have a hose with some water pressure to clean with when I move….so, we’ll see when I get out if that worked…it’s nice to have a quiet car again and I even removed the rattling heat shield so that annoyance is gone too….don’t have to cook today…again…with all the leftovers that I have and it looks like they will last another day or so before I have to think about cooking again…and I don’t mind that with how much work I have to do…going to paint the ceiling of the living room today and that will take a lot of time…more later…
Just some stuff…
Well…just got back from running some errands and had a couple of things I wanted to talk about so here goes…I did get the car fixed today and now it is quiet as can be…and it only cost 40 bucks and he replaced a couple of gaskets that appeared bad so I don’t think that’s too bad of a deal…the paint that was on it is burning off and smells pretty bad but that will stop after a couple of days…so that made for a good start to the day…then, I went over the mileage from last year on the bike today and am almost to 3500 miles…only had to beat 3486 and it looks like I should be able to beat my all time yearly record of 4237 miles…it made me feel good that I can accomplish that along with getting the house done, too…so, not too bad of a day but I am done now and am going to veg the rest of the day…back into the normal routine tomorrow…
Getting spies killed…
Well…I know I’ve harped on this quite a bit over the past few years but it bears repeating every damn day…the repub party is filled with hypocrites who hate this country…I know you remember how many investigations there were of Hillary’s e-mails and the reason for them was that there might have kinda maybe been some classified information in them…and the hypocrites on the right blew a gasket every damn day saying she should go to jail for how she handled them…well get ready of some industrial strength hypocrisy today…the Washington Post reported today that the CIA had to smuggle a spy out of Russia in 2017 since they couldn’t trust trump to keep his mouth shut about him…since he runs it all the time like a bad case of diarrhea…and they were concerned that the idiot trump would get him killed. They are still alarmed at how the entire administration handles classified information citing examples of just last week when the idiot in chief tweeted out a classified photo of an Iranian missile site where a rocket had just blown up….letting the world know our capability to monitor this type of activity. Now, let’s compare…maybe kinda sorta classified information on an e-mail server or shooting your mouth of and getting spies killed, while you alert the world what our capabilities to spy are. Which one do you think is worse…oh, and lets remember trump giving away classified information to the Russian ambassador in the WH around the same time that resulted in a spy network being dismantled and leaving us less safe. So, what are you going to do about this senate repubs? Yeah, nothing…just like with everything else idiot boy does…the election is coming…tick tock…
September 9th
Well…running about on time this morning and didn’t get up until almost 6 so I guess that’s progress…but I don’t like the idea of taking sleeping pills every day so I don’t think I will…just needed a couple of days of sleep to recharge so I don’t feel exhausted all the time…but we’ll see how that worked as the day goes on….I do have a nagging left hamstring pain that has been there for a couple of days now and I’m not sure if I’ll take something for it before getting on the bike this morning….don’t want to get back in that habit if I can just work it out by going a little easy for a couple of miles…didn’t get much done yesterday but cook some and watch sports all day after fixing the bike but I do have stuff to get done today….need to go over the shop to have the new muffler hung at 9 and I hope that goes well…I’m a little concerned that the flange on the cat is corroded too much to have it seal and I sure don’t want to buy a new cat until I have the car in the garage over the winter so I’m going to keep my fingers crossed…then I need to get back into the normal routine and head over to the house to fix the storm door on the front of the house that the previous tenant screwed up…but, it looks like just moving it a little on the door frame will do it….hope so…more later….
It’s been a day…
Well…this day started out okay with getting a ride in early and then getting into what I had scheduled for the day…and I ran the instant pot and the thighs came out great after I took the skin off first and seasoned them, then let them set in the fridge for a couple of hours before cooking them…very tasty and I think that will be the way to do it from now on…but, with that working out good, I had problems with the bike today and had to do repairs in the woods just to get back here when the nut that holds the sprockets on came loose and, even after fixing it, I still only had up to 6th to ride it back here…so when I was fixing it, I noticed that there was lots of wear on the 7th and 8th gears and I think that was part of why 7th had started to skip today…so, I changed out the entire cassette with one that I had on the old bike that had the same ratios but is chromed which makes it really hard to the point that it has virtually no wear on it after more than 5,000 miles on the old bike…I am a little disappointed that this cassette only lasted 7,000 miles before the teeth wore out…but, the chrome one looks pretty cool on the bike and worked great on the test ride so I can get back to normal tomorrow…now it’s veg time with races and the Lions playing in an hour or so…
September 8th
Well…running a little late today with wanting to get the bike ride in before the F1 race and just getting back here a minute ago…it’s strange how busy I am once I decide to get on a certain schedule for the day…I know I don’t have to be busy but I can’t be a slug, either, and I feel better when I try to get something done…I did take an otc sleeping pill last night for the first time in almost a year due to the frustration I’ve been feeling with not getting any sleep over the past few weeks…but I’m not sure if it has helped or not since I still feel exhausted but I have just started my morning coffee so that may help…I know I can still feel the aid and that will make me sluggish until it wears off…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but cook and I made some chicken for lunch that I had in a dry marinade overnight and that came out really good so I think I do that for the thighs I’m doing in the instant pot this morning…and I made some fettucini alfredo that I had been thinking about for a while so I’ll have leftovers for most of the week…not sure if I’m going to clean today or not but the bathroom sure needs it so I may try to do that today…who knows? More later….
Impeachment is coming….
Well…finally…with the news from the past couple of days, it appears that the 6 committees that are investigating trump have agreed that they need to vote on formalizing their investigations into a single impeachment investigation…and that vote is going to happen next Wednesday…and with dem control of the house, the vote will pass. One thing to remember is that there is enough evidence to impeach trump even before the bombshell revelations this week that trump is blackmailing the Ukraine into faking evidence that trump wants to attack Biden by withholding 250 million dollars in military aid that congress passed to help Ukraine protect itself from Russia….yep, naked blackmail that is being run by Rudy Giuliana…corruption on an epic scale that can’t go unanswered and that will now be part of the impeachment investigation. But, it’s not the only recently revealed corruption that trump and his cronies have been perpetrating…just yesterday, it was reveled that trump has ordered the air force to use a failing airport near his Scotland resort for refueling to keep it from closing and making it hard to get to trump’s resort…yep, trump is buying fuel for military planes at retail using taxpayer’s money to prop up his resort in Scotland….and the cronies he has put in charge of the military are going along with it…is this enough, repubs? Is this damn enough for you to convict after this crook is impeached? In any normal time, it should be…but with Moscow Mitch in control of the senate, there won’t even be a trial and trump will be able to continue to line his pockets with taxpayer money while the repubs close their eyes and destroy the rule of law. We can use Mitch’s behavior in the 2020 election, though, and maybe send him back to turtleland…now I can say this again…impeach….
September 7th
Well…damn…a 4:57 morning and that is with getting to bed at 11:30 and being up and down all night…oh, well…but, I’m not too sore this morning so that’s something…and I had an okay day yesterday with getting two bike rides in but not doing too much else…oh, I did get the microwave cleaned on the way to cleaning all the counters in the kitchen and the stove top…and, I should do the floors, too but I’m not sure I’ll get to it today…or maybe the bathroom…who knows? I am going to cook today with all of the leftovers gone but I think I’ll do the instant pot later…did a dry marinade on some chicken breasts over night and want to cook them for lunch to see how the rub tastes…I may even make some homemade fries to go with them…haven’t done those in a while….It’s kind of a pain to have to wait to go out on the bike until it gets light and that time comes later every day….need to get out before 7:30 so I can get back here before F1 qualifying starts around 9 and it is still cold out there, too….hope we get one more warm spell before it turns to fall…more later…
A mish mash of politics…
Well…as promised, I am going to do some political ones over the next few days and I thought I’d start with a sort of a mish mash of different topics since nothing is really grabbing me right now…let’s start with the debacle of a trip the second idiot had to Ireland over the weekend where they could not have planned it to be worse…maybe they should have planned for it to be a shitshow and then, because they are incompetent, it may have turned out good? The whole mess started when the second idiot and his staff booked their rooms at, of course, a trump property that was 180 miles away from where the conference was being held that he was attending…and it is quite hard to get 180 miles away from anything in Ireland but these morons did it…and they said out loud that first idiot trump “suggested” it, continuing to line his pockets with taxpayer money…by contrast, when Joe Biden visited Ireland for official business when he was VP, he stayed at the ambassador’s residence in Dublin at no extra cost of taxpayer money. After this grift was reported, trump’s staff tried to walk back the fact that he “suggested” Pence stay at his property saying that they never suggested anything…but we all know they lie about everything so of course they’re lying about that. Oh, and while there, Pence just had to weigh in on Brexit, praising Boris Johnson…and telling the Irish they should listen to him, completely oblivious to the fact that Ireland is staying in the EU and that Boris Johnson has nothing to say about Ireland at all…just another ignorant comment from Pence while he tries to keep trump happy by parroting trumpisms everywhere he goes. Okay…I guess this one is just going to be one topic and I’ll have to come back for a second one in a while…weird how often that happens…
