How low can he go?

Well…we all know the the idiot trump is the worst person in the world, and that was before his rant at one of his campaign rallies/briefings the other day where he attacked doctors, nurses, and hospitals for using “too many” masks and ventilators…saying bluntly that he thinks they are stealing them since no one could go through a million masks or that any hospital needs more than two ventilators…how stupid/venal can one person get? It’s all part of trump’s mental illness where he thinks that everyone is on the grift like he is and he can’t understand that people are honest and dedicated to protecting their fellow citizens…and since he is full of scams, everyone else is too. Just this one statement would be enough for anyone with any shred of compassion or empathy to resign in shame…and the rest of the repub party should be pushing him to do it…but the cult of trump won’t allow that…anything is fine if it keeps them approving unqualified, right wing judges that are going to trash this country for a generation…they are all in on the grift…and all need to go…

It’s getting dire…

Well…things are getting pretty dire around here when I’m three weeks past the time to get a haircut and all of the places I use are closed to stop the virus spread…so, I decided to do my own hair this morning using my beard trimmer since it was annoying the hell out of me…just finished it and it doesn’t look too bad…it’s the same way I have it cut when I go out for a haircut…a number 3 clipper over the whole thing with a number 2 on top….I think if my clippers weren’t 20 years old it would have looked a little smoother and I have to figure out how to trim over the ears and around the back but I have lots of time on my hands so I think I can….after all, it’s just hair and it will grow back…but I just bought myself another month so that’s cool….and I saved 13 bucks….woo hoo…

March 31st

Well…up at 5:24 this morning and that pretty much puts things back to normal after the late morning yesterday…and yep, I have some kind of bug….woke up kind of sweaty this morning and have been coughing up lots of stuff and I don’t think that is all caused by allergies….but, I don’t feel too bad so I will be back on the bike this morning to get the miles in and may even be up to doubles starting thurs with a little warmer temps coming in…I am almost to 700 miles for the year and that puts me ahead of where I was last year at this time…but getting to 5K is still pretty daunting….haven’t been too motivated lately and I’m not sure why that would be….I know I haven’t been feeling too hot but that’s normally not the problem….maybe it’s that there is so much to do outside and the weather hasn’t been cooperating…and I know that the abuse my hands are going to get is going to be quite painful when I start chopping out the stumps in the front of the house….I know that all I need to do is just get started and take it piece by piece but I need paint and other supplies that I can’t get right now…not much to do today….I am going to ease into the day until I get on the bike around 10 or so and that will still be in full thermasuit for the next couple of days….I really should clean but I’m still not too motivated…more later….

Crap, I might be getting sick…

Well…okay, have had really bad allergies for months now but this feels different…I have started to feel warm this afternoon and just weird…still coughing but that has been going on for months so that’s not a new one…I’m not sure if I’m eating enough and that always makes me feel warm the following day…I mean I had two eggs, two pieces of bacon and two slices of toast along with two pieces of pizza yesterday…and I figure that is over 1500 calories and that should be enough…although the day before that I only had half a chicken breast and couple of bowls of soup…and so far today I’ve had half a chicken breast and a handful of fries and that is only about 400 calories so I could be behind for today…and I am trying my hand at baking bread right now I am so bored…so I’ll have a couple of slices of that in a few minutes….all I know is this feels different than normal…like I have a bad cold coming on…do colds still exist? No one is talking about that right now…crap, I don’t need this right now…or ever…I guess I’ll keep you posted if this gets worse….

The rat bastards…

Well….I think we now have a new worst company in the US and it isn’t even close…as you know, the US government is sending out 1,200 dollar checks to almost all adults in the US and 500 dollar checks to each child to try to limit the damage the coronavirus is doing to the economy…and how long do you think it would take for the rat bastards that run a lot of the companies in the US to figure out a way to suck that cash up from their employees to enrich themselves? Yeah, you guessed it…the checks are not even written yet and I’ve read we have a company called ImageNet Consultants in Oklahoma City ( a red state, go figure) that sells high end printers, copiers and IT services wanting their remaining employees (after laying off most of them) to forfeit part of their April paychecks equal to the amount of money they get from the stimulus checks with the company even wanting half of any dependent checks their employees may get for their children. Now, I’ve seen a lot in my days here on Earth but this is one of the worst…how the hell does the CEO of this company sleep at night? Yeah, probably pretty well and I’ll bet he is a repub to boot…nothing but grifters and cheats there, that’s for sure…if there wasn’t a depression coming, if I were employed there it wouldn’t be for long…oh, and if you’re doing business with these assholes, go somewhere else…let’s make this 100 million dollar company a zero dollar company…and fast….

March 30th

Well…running really late this morning with a miracle happening and not getting out of bed until 7:18….I did wake up at 3:30 but was able to roll over and go back to sleep for the first time in what seems like a year…don’t think that helped in feeling better though, since I still feel worn out and crappy and just can’t get started…I wonder if you can get too much sleep? If this is going be what my allergies are going to be like this spring, I’m going to be miserable and I’m not sure how long I can take it…have felt like crap for months now and it is getting to be a bit much…I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday in shorts but it looks like I’ll be back to full thermasuit for a couple of days…but I just looked at the weather and some 60 degree days are coming…it’s about damn time to be able to get out in a t-shirt and get started on the lawn and outside of the house….need to get the hatchet sharpened so I can try to get the stumps out of the front of the house and get ready to plant flowers…not sure if I’ll be able to get flowers this year and I won’t be here next year so maybe I’ll just fill the spaces in with dirt….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to do something today…not sure what but something…cleaning? Man, it’s weird to be on my first cup of coffee and it’s after 8….and I think it’s going to put me behind for the whole day…behind for what I don’t know but behind….more later….

Feel pretty crappy today…

Well…cripes…let’s add something else to worry about with the damn virus going around…have felt pretty crappy all day today and when that happens these days, the first thing you think of is that damn virus…but, I’m sure it’s not that but my allergies going into overdrive…some of which is my fault but some of it is that trees have started to bloom along the trail along with weeds and grass….I know a big part of it is the downstairs project that is going quite well but doing that makes my allergies much worse….but, I am nearing the goal that I set when I started the project so I may be able to shut it down when I get through a few more months….it would be so damn nice to not have the stuffed up head, itchy eyes, and coughing that has been with me since I moved in here….and none of those are coronavirus symptoms so I guess I’ll live another day…and I know the soreness I feel is from being an idiot on the bike the past few days…hey, I just noticed something…I think this is going to be the most posts I have done in a month since I have been doing this! I’ll have to go back and check but I’m over 80 and I still have two days to go…maybe 90 for the month? That would be cool…crap, just checked and in February of 2017 I did 105 of these so no new record…but 90 would still be cool…

I think I pissed the sparrows off…

Well….when I was out filling the feeders yesterday, I noticed that there must be 20 pounds of seed under the feeders on the ground where the birds have thrown it while digging through to get their preferred stuff…so today, I decided to not fill the feeders and let them just eat through the stuff on the ground for a change…and those little shits were perched on the empty sill looking in the window with some of them even pecking at it…but, nope…no food for a couple of days until they at least try to eat some of leftovers…I wonder what the hell they ate before I started filling the feeders in November? They sure weren’t dying from hunger there are so many of them….and not one of them has said thanks…that’s the least they could do….

trump is just what we used to call “an asshole”

Well…you know, I’m so tired of the asshole in chief and am getting brain rot from even hearing of his assholery so I am going to do this one and then take a couple of days off to look at the birds and try to fix my allergies without medicine thanks to all the meth makers out there….as I said a couple of days ago the deciding factor on whether your friends and neighbors are going to die from this virus is whether or not governors kiss trump’s ass to get the medical supplies that will keep our doctors, nurses, and patients alive…and gee, what a surprise the ones that are getting stiffed are in blue states with Washington, California, New York, and Michigan getting only a small fraction of what they requested and are all scrambling to try to find this gear anywhere since the trump led federal government won’t send any. But look at Florida whose governor is a trump toady and won’t do anything without trump’s okay while fluffing him on a daily basis…guess how much of the requested supplies Florida got? Yeah, as sick as it is, Florida got every damn thing they asked for…100% plus more while the blue states got maybe 10% of what they needed…and while we in the blue states are doing everything we can to stop the rise of new cases by staying at home and closing businesses…the asshole governor of Florida, deSantis, hasn’t even closed all the beaches with pictures today of thousands of people still on the beach spreading coronavirus with abandon….and a big part of this is that I think he believes the fox news and trump propaganda that red states are immune to the disease…this is what you get when you don’t believe the experts or the facts…and just today, while the worst still seems ahead of us, we are at least slowing the rise of new cases in California and we should see the same thing here in Michigan in a couple of weeks….but in Florida? Estimates have the death toll there at almost a half million people if this mini idiot there doesn’t act….and this is repeated in all the red states whose governors aren’t taking this seriously. Through it all do we hear any condolences or empathy from trump or any repub? Nope all we get from trump is a tweetstorm of how high the ratings are for his lie fests and more attacks on the people in blue states who are trying to protect their people….that is what we used to call an asshole when I was young…and who knows? I may not get much older with the repubs running things…

The morning got better…

Well….yep…it’s the switch…again…and this one only lasted about 6 months and that sucks…but, they’re only 5 bucks so I guess I don’t need to bitch too much…and I can just remove the positive battery cable for now so no big deal…after I got that figured out, the morning got better with getting out on the bike in shorts about 8:15 and getting a hard ride in…even saw my first bald eagle of the year today and that was pretty cool…and the wind waited to start blowing hard until I made the turn to come back here so I had it at my back most of the return trip and was really flying on the trail…too damn many people out today, though, and some of them were being idiots…I mean running in a group of 10 people 2 feet apart? If any of them are infected, they all will be soon….not sure what I’m going to make for lunch today….I have some bacon the needs to be used and eggs to go with that…but I have soup, chicken, and pizza that needs to be used, too….hmmm….at least I won’t need to go out for anything this week but I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not….I should take the car out and charge the battery up and I may do that tomorrow…want to make a run to HF to get my new compressor for 40 bucks so I can air the tires up on the bike….more later…
