Well….yeah, this story broke late last week but I’m just getting to it now with a reminder that I found in my notebook where I keep all my logins and passwords…it seems that the lying selfish asshole squatting in the WH is getting antsy with not having any chance to get fluffed by his moronic followers with the coronavirus lockdown, so he decided that a good way to get his jollies is to force the West Point cadets who are graduating to come out of where they are sheltering in place and all come back to West Point so the idiot in chief can spew his hatred at them and the rest of the world. What this means is that these cadets now have to endure a two week strict quarantine without any contact with anyone for the two weeks before the “campaign rally” to ensure they don’t bring the virus with them to West Point…but then, after the moron’s speech, they need to do another two weeks in quarantine since there will be no social distancing that can be done when the cadets are all jammed in shoulder to shoulder just so the moron can stroke his own ego….and the idiot boy lied about it and said he was “invited” to speak at the graduation, even though there was no plan to even hold it with the viral pandemic raging in NY. This is the narcisistic asshole at his very worst…putting a thousand people at risk and taking a month out of their lives just so he can act like the commander in chief…but no competent commander would ever put his troops at risk for no reason at all…but trump has never been accused of competency in anything….where are the repubs who bleat their “love” of the military? Why aren’t they pushing back on trump using them as props for a campaign rally? Yeah, we all know the answer to that…the love was all cynical lies that were abandoned when it was expedient to so so….what a bunch of hypcrites…

April 30th
Well…it wasn’t a 4:47 morning this morning…it was a 4:21 morning but I was able to get back to sleep for another 45 minutes or so….and during that time, I came up with the idea for carbon fiber gutters and downspouts…I know it would be expensive but leaving them unfinished would look really cool with the fibers showing through…I know, weird that I’d even think about that but I’m weird and I’m not about to start apoligising for that now….I don’ think the heat came on at all yesterday and I’m hoping that will continue the downward trend from the 76 bucks it cost me last month….I even sat around in shorts yesterday for the first time since I moved in here…but, it’s back to cold today and it may even be a day off the bike with the rain that is coming in…I did get out yesterday but not until almost 4 and that was odd…it makes it a little harder to go out without being caffeine fueled but I survived it….looks like a nice weekend coming but then it goes back to crappy for the next two weeks and I think that is more disheartening than being stuck here…I really want to get my flowers and veggie garden planted and I think I may start with the overflow garden this weekend…going to plant some garlic around the outside of it and then might just put some bean seeds in, too….we’ll see….not much to do today…I had that same thought about yesterday but with getting groceries, cleaning the bathroom and fooling around with the car, I had something to do all day….I do need to clean the living room today and should get at the kitchen a little but we’ll see after the coffee starts to work….more later…
So now he’s killing people for his re-election…
Well…with new polls out that show Joe Biden up by double digits across the country and leading or tied in every swing state, the idiot trump has to do something, anything to try to steal the election and keep himself out of jail….and he has chosen to push as hard as he can with the help of his repub enablers to “open” the economy no matter what the cost. Let’s be blunt, this is going to cost American lives on top of the 60,000 his bungling has already killed…and I have a question…since when can a *president get re-elected after his bungling cost 60,000 American lives? One of the new pushes by idiot boy is to use an excutive order to force the closed meat processing plants that are a hotbed of coronavirus infections to restart now…and he has basically immunized the owners (repub donors) of any liability if they kill their workers while they do it…and to punish these workers even more, if they are in fear for their lives and don’t want to go back to work, all assistance will be cut off to them…no more unemployment, no food stamps, no assistance of any sort including any of the 1200 dollar stimulus checks that haven’t gone out yet. This is your repubs, folks…I remember a time that protecting EVERY American life was the purpose of government…but I guess under the repubs every life should be protected until they run out of pork chops or chicken wings. But, we knew that didn’t we? Over the past 40 years it has been the repubs mission to hurt those least able to fight back as they shred the safety net and made sure that even working full time is not enough to live on….and the owners go on buying their new yachts as they stay in their gated communities away from the rabble that can be sacrificed at will to maintain their profits…what a sick, sick little man….
April 29th
Well…okay, doesn’t it seem weird that I’ve woken up for the past week between 4:45 and 4:57? I mean, how do you get that consistency without an alarm clock? I know I did that when I was working…always waking up between 6 and 6:12am but why now? I have no reason to get up and it is a little frustrating that 6 hours has become the new normal…oh, well…I did have some dreams last night that involved Ferraris and guns for some reason and that is weird in itself…but having dreams is okay…still waiting for the coffee to finish and I’m already running out of steam at 5:54am….I did get quite a bit done outside yesterday but today looks like an inside work day after I try to get some groceries after a while….Aldi’s has pork butt on sale for 1.69 a pound and that could be good for some shredded pork tacos and lots of other things but who knows what today’s restrictions are going to look like out at the grocery stores? I did get out the other day to try out the new tires on the e-way and got all the way up to 80 without any vibration and that is cool…and they do ride a lot better than the old ones…can’t wait to try them in the rain this morning…the old ones were just terrible…but I guess that happens when they are bald….not much to do today…I am going to get to the bathroom today and I need to do laundry and a bunch of other inside stuff so I do have something to do….not sure how much I’m GOING to do but I can do enough to keep the boredom at bay…but, coffee and news first…damn….it’s only 6 and I’m already bored….more later…
Did enough today….
Well…have been trying to get outraged about something to write about today and have had a little luck but I don’t really want to talk about politics right now…and I think I’ve done enough today to earn a little downtime…I did get over a thousand miles on the bike today and that met the first goal for the year of getting there before the end of April….but the computer on the bike has gone wonky so I may have to do a hard reset and go back to the start and enter all the information again…but, I’ll do that tomorrow with the forecast rain keeping me off the bike til Friday maybe…so I’ll have all day to screw with that…after the first ride this morning, that I got in early since it got warm early, I went after finishing up getting sod put in to level out around the fence…after I got that done, I decided to finish up chopping the sod out of what was a little rose garden when the in-laws lived here…but that had been left to overgrow with weeds and grass over the past 18 years or so….I got that done without much injury, although I won’t know how much for a day or so, and got it leveled out and got the idea to make it another garden but one less organized…will just load everything into it and just see how it works….it appears to have about 6-7 hours of sun a day so it may just work….and it will give me overflow room to put in more stuff to give away after I harvest…then I got the second ride in and that makes 4 days in a row with doubles and I could feel it on the way back…I did get the windows open today and it feels nice to have a breeze blowing through the house for the first time…and it changes how the house feels, too which is kind of weird but I do like the smells and sounds of spring that are out there…my allergies won’t thank me but I don’t care…it’s worth it to have some fresh air…and the breeze is in here even without having the screens in the doors…and that will give me some time to have them replaced once everything is open again…so, I think I did enough today…
April 28th
Well…back to the 4:50′s again this morning but I went to bed 15 minutes early last night so that makes it about 6 hours and these days that seems like a miracle…I was almost not good last night but I resisted having cocktails from boredom and feel okay this morning other than I’m still a little sore from the garden work and from re-seeding parts of the lawn yesterday…oh, and the two rides I did, too…only have 7 more miles to go to get to 1K before the end of the month so that will happen this morning and it might be fun to get out early since there is supposed to be thick fog and I like riding in it…can’t wait to get my garden planted but it looks like it will be another week or so to get past the 40 degree low that is necessary to make sure the tomatoes won’t die…I even planted 4 more of the better boys yesterday since the ones downstairs are looking a little wilty….I do need to get started on the paint prep for the garage trim in the next couple of days and then get paint to cover it…and that is a pain with all of the restrictions at depot…but I think I’ll only need one more gallon of the brown and then one of a cream color to cover the siding on the dormer…and I do need to get out to HF to get the new air compressor and some more fap discs later this week or next week…not much to do today…going to ease into it today and might just have to make some french press coffee since there is not too much leftover in the coffee maker….and I do need to set some more sod along the fence after I fill it to make it level…then I need to figure out how to plant my sunflowers in the area I just re sodded….didn’t think about that when I started on it…oh, well…more later…
We have a nesting pair…
Well…on the bike ride the past week or so, I’ve seen what I thought was a female bald eagle sitting in the trees across the pond from the male that I’ve seen quite a bit this spring…and today, that thought was confirmed when I saw the nest that they’ve built only about 20 yards from the trail and with the female on the nest….so we have a nesting pair and I am a little excited about that…when I was a kid, there were no bald eagles in this part of the country and now I get to watch as a pair raises some eaglets over the summer…I just hope that people will stay the hell away from the nest and leave them in peace…but, with the morons I’ve seen on the trail lately, that is pretty unlikely…
Shut the hell up, donnie…
Well…finally, it appears that along with the world, the US is getting tired of the idiot in chief’s lies and bullshit….and the media is starting to call him out and ask tough questions that the dotard can’t lie his way through…on CNN the other day, Anderson Cooper just gave up and said “he’s lying” as they cut away from moron boy speaking…so now the toddler in chief has cancelled the daily coronavirus updates since he can’t just bullshit and bluster his way through anymore…and I think telling people to poison themselves with disinfectant cleaners and the resulting pushback has made the performances much less fun for the moron…so like the mental toddler he is, he is just going to stamp his feet and go on twitter to attack everyone in the damn country it seems….and that is the reason that lil donnie should just shut the hell up….if you’re not going to do something constructive, then just sit there in the WH with your hamberders and tv and let the rest of us get on with it…just shut…the…hell…up…
April 27th
Well…made it all the way to coffee o’clock this morning but went to bed late so I’m not sure how much of a success that is…at least it’s not 4:50 so I guess that’s something….and the soreness from cutting out the sod for the garden is subsiding and I can use my right arm again without much pain…and that is good since I need to get out and get potting soil, top soil, and grass seed this morning and re-seed the front yard to take advantage of the rain that is coming in tomorrow….and I need to re pot the tomatoes downstairs since the plants are up to 18 inches tall and I have 4 of them in each small pot…can’t wait to get them out in the garden…and I do need to try to get another double ride in today to make it to 1K before Thurs…only need 30 more miles so that goal looks attainable….still haven’t gotten my 1200 bucks and I am starting to get annoyed about that…but I haven’t checked this morning and I think this was supposed to be the week it gets deposited…we’ll see…not much to do today…just going to do the yard stuff today and might finish leveling off the back yard but that can wait…don’t want to aggravate the damage from cutting out the last sod so maybe I’ll wait a few days….more later….
The world weighs in on trump…
Well….the rest of the world is staring at the US and it’s non-existent national response to the coronavirus pandemic and have started to ask the question “what happened?” 30 million people out of work, food lines stretching for miles, and the highest death toll from the virus in the world…and they are finally getting the idea that it is trump’s fault…and they are starting to be honest about everything that the idiot boy has done…from shattering long term alliances, to shredding treaties that he doesn’t like, to embracing dictators around the world, they now have trump’s number and they are now not shy about weighing in on the incompetence and stupidity of the moron in chief….in just three short years, trump has taken this country from the respect that was built from WW II to his election to an international pariah who no one can count on anymore…and, for the first time in a century, absolutely no one is turning to the US for leadership or guidance…and, thanks to trump, American democracy is no longer worthy of admiration as he sows the seeds of hate and division…along with his prime enabler Mitch McConnell who just last week said that he will block any aid that helps any blue state…even though his state of Kentucky gets much more back from the federal government than they put in every year…subsidized by the very blue states who Moscowmitch wants to hurt. So, trump on his own in only 3 years has allowed our power and our respect in the world to wither away by his stupidity and 3rd grade view of how the world works….and the rest of the world has moved on and is laughing at him…the world has trump’s number and they are finally realizing that we are no longer trustworthy partners so they are going to go it alone….nice job you asshole….
