Well…darn, I still feel crappy here at 2 in the afternoon and it has to be from my really reduced calorie diet….only had two slices of rye bread toast for lunch today and I’m planning on having a chicken thigh and a small baked potato for dinner and that will give me a total of about 800 calories again today….I did get out and get groceries today and got a snow shovel for the new house…and I got the truck reserved for the move…and it looks like I’m bringing it back to gr since it is only about a buck less to one way it and I need to come back here to get my car anyway….so that is taken care of…it will take more gas but not much more so that’s okay…and this time I have it for the entire day so I don’t have to have it back until before 7 pm…should be done long before that since I really don’t have that much to move….I am going to pick it up around 8 am but don’t think anyone else is going to want to be here that early so maybe 10? Now all I need is to close and get things in motion….

Are they just stupid?
Well…I wasn’t going to do a political one today but I really did have to talk about trump’s lawyers who are handling the impeachment trial…and the question I have is “are they just stupid?” In the letters that have gone back and forth between the House impeachment managers and the idiot boy’s lawyers, the idiot’s lawyers have continuously quoted a Michigan State U. professor to try to show that scholars across the country think that trying trump after he is out of office goes against the constitution…the only problem that these ambulance chasers have is that every assertion they make using Kalt’s writings is false and clearly has the opposite meaning as Kalt has stated on many news shows since the brief was released. Are these lawyers too stupid to understand that with this move, they have almost guaranteed that Kalt will be called and they will be exposed as liars? Yeah, I would say they probably are since they are the last lawyers who would take the case and their true quality shows in the brief….every assertion they make is laughable including saying that trump did everything he could as fast as he could to get the national guard there…when it has been widely reported that Pence was the one who finally approved the national guard being deployed…I really don’t understand what the heck they are trying to prove here and I wonder if that is because the idiot boy himself is directing them? Whatever it is, they are going to be eaten alive and careers are going to be shattered…but that happens to everyone who gets involved with trump…and to not recognize that really does make them stupid….geez…
February 9th
Well…running a little late today and feel pretty crappy even with staying in bed til 6:30 and it may be from not doing hardly anything yesterday…just not used to no exercise and today is going to be another one of those days with the temp only staying in the teens again…at least I didn’t have to shovel snow yesterday and my back does feel a little better so I guess that’s something….I do have to run errands and do the grocery run today and then stop at U-haul and reserve the truck for the move in a couple of weeks…need to go out and get a snow shovel for the new house that I can fit in the car…Menard’s has one for only 12 bucks that looks good so I should stop there today and get one…going to need to shovel a lot out there just to be able to get to the door….and to the garage….I really do need to eat more since I think I went too low on calories the past few days…only had a ham sandwich and a small bowl of refried beans for the whole day and that’s only about 900 calories….and I’ll be feeling that later today…not much to do today…other than the errands, that is…and the first nascar race is on tonight so that will give me something to do later along with the idiot’s trial in the senate this afternoon…really do need to take it easy to heal up my back for the move…at least that’s my excuse….more later….
It hits the fan tomorrow…
Well…just finished up cutting my hair and filling the bird feeders and thought I’d come here a do one of these before I get started on packing…not sure how I feel about the trial of the idiot boy that is going to start tomorrow…on one hand I know he is guilty as sin for egging on the mob to attack the capitol, but on the other hand I don’t want his lawyers being able to lie their asses off in their defense of the criminal….and we have a preview of that defense where they are going to assert that trump was only exercising his first amendment rights when he told the mob to go to the capitol and “fight like hell”….and at least 45 repub senators have already telegraphed that no matter what is said or what evidence is presented, they are going to acquit idiot boy for reasons or something…and that is enough to let him off again…but I think our side is going to be speaking to the country and laying out all of the criminality that came after the election where he tried to coerce the SoS of Georgia to “find” thousands of votes that would throw the state to him which is a felony and there is a recording of it…and this is another seditious act that is going to be part of the case and that won’t be easily dismissed…and shouldn’t we expose this criminality and get it in the record even if the repubs won’t convict? I will probably watch part of it anyway since it is a pretty serious thing that all citizens should see…and I sat through the Watergate hearings back in the 70′s…but I hope this is the last time we have to see the dems come in and clean up after the damn repubs…and they never have any price to pay for their screw ups…geezz…
February 8th
Well…damn, I wonder when I’m going to get a good nights sleep again? Up at 5:05 today and never got back to sleep again and I’m exhausted…and my brain isn’t working too well…this first sentence took almost 10 minutes and the rest of it is going to be pretty hard…at least I don’t have to shovel the snow today since it didn’t snow overnight but I do need to dig out the trash bins…a project that is going to wait a while since my motivation tank is empty…didn’t get anything done yesterday but move some stuff around to get ready for the move and that will be all I do today since I really don’t have much to do other than pack…shoveling the snow really hurt my back yesterday and it still hurts this morning and I’m glad I have a day off to heal….couldn’t lift a thing if the move was this week so I need to take it easy to make sure it will be better in two weeks…it’s only a week until I get my second vaccine and I am looking forward to that but my arm will hurt like crazy so I’m glad I have two weeks for it to heal…cripes, I’m getting old…more later…
Attack of the sparrows…
Well…don’t really feel like doing a political one today with feeling like crap and hurting my back shoveling the snow today….and I’m not sure what is going on but I just can’t take the cold anymore and haven’t been able to warm up since being outside…I guess it might be that it was only 6 degrees when I went but that’s no excuse….and I had to wade through knee deep snow to fill the bird feeders since I have a cloud of sparrows that have been attacking them and emptying them as fast as I fill them…filled them twice yesterday but I refuse to go back out to fill them again today…just too damn cold and I’m running out of food…and the funny thing is I’m using a bag of feed that they wouldn’t touch earlier in the winter and I guess that must be because the other people in the neighborhood have stopped filling their feeders with how much snow there is out there. Had 15 sparrows on the two feeders at one time and that was causing some pushing and shoving and a couple of them just climbed into the food and sat down while they ate and attacked any other bird that tried to land…that was kind of funny….okay, that’s enough….I know I haven’t been eating enough and that’s why I’m so damn tired today…800 calories just isn’t going to cut it I guess…i need a nap…
February 7th
Well…just couldn’t bring myself to shovel the driveway again before I went out to get the paper so I’m going to have tracks in it again that will probably take the rest of the winter to get rid of…but, it’s only 7 degrees out there and that’s not something I want to face this early…I did sleep okay last night and didn’t get out of bed until after 6:30 but I did notice the mattress on my bed is offset by about 6 inches and that means I tossed and turned all night and it could be why I feel so worn out…again…didn’t get anything done yesterday but…nope, didn’t get anything done but shovel the snow and that looks like what I’ll do today….I did talk to K and J and they are in to help for the move so I’ll have 6 people for this one instead of the three I had last time so that should make it easier…I am so glad this is my last move….or if it isn’t, I’ll spend the cash and have a mover do it next time….now I’m just waiting for my close date so I can get the utilities switched over to my name….I can’t wait to get started on the new house but I think I am going to take a week off after I move in and just relax…there is plenty of time to get the painting and stripping done and I need to put a plan together for the colors I want to use….not much to do today…it’s not snowing right now so I can wait a while before I get out and do the snow…this is going to be the coldest week of the winter with Friday only getting to 2 degrees for a high so there will be lots of packing and hibernating going on….more later….
Looks like fox “news” is in trouble…
Well…after the orange idiot lost in November, fox “news” has been bleeding viewers and advertisers so fast that, after a 20 year run of being in 1st place in cable news, they are now a distant third to both CNN and MSNBC….it’s funny how trying to destroy our country and overthrow an election will do that to you. There appears to be the start of a purge of the morons who were the biggest trump supporters, too, with Lou Dobbs getting axed Thursday and now there are rumblings that tucker carlson could be next and I really love the right eating their own. But the biggest danger they face are the lawsuits that have been filed by Smartmatic, the voting machine company that everyone on fox news lied about for a month, for 2.7 billion dollars and that include dobbs, bartiromo, and pirro personally since they were the ones doing the non-stop lying after the election…I don’t know if the dobbs firing was related to it since his lies are all on tape and can still be submitted as evidence, or if they are trying to come a little back to reality to get sponsors to come back…after all, if the my pillow guys is your biggest advertiser (oh, and who has already been sued by dominion for over a billion dollars) you have a problem…and that tap is going to shut off pretty quickly. I wonder if you tell a lie in the woods and there is no one there to hear it, is it still a lie? Of course it is but the no one there to hear it part is making me grin…
It’s nice to have friends…
Well…as you know, I bought a house out in Muskegon and have my move scheduled for the 27th of this month and it looks like a good date with only needing the appraisal to come back to be able to close…and there should be no problem there since I am only borrowing around 50K and the house should be worth almost double that…and, instead of trying to do the whole move with just me and my son and his wife, for the first time I’ve asked some friends to help and every one of them have said they can…and K and J have said they can borrow a big covered trailer for the extra stuff that I am taking so I can get the smallest box truck again…and Tom is bringing his jeep that can hold some stuff so I won’t have to make so many runs out to the new house in the Miata and that will save some wear and tear…I still don’t have a lot of stuff but this means I won’t have to take the bikes out on the carrier or put the summer tires in the car to move them….damn, it’s nice to have friends and this will allow K to see both houses since she always wanted to see this one before I move….feeling a lot better about the move with how bad my back has been lately…..
February 6th
Well…made it all the way til 6 this morning and I wonder why I feel so worn out? Barely have enough energy to sit here and do this and just want to go back to bed…and no dreams to speak of so I must not have slept well…and I am really sore from all of the snow shoveling that I had to do…I think we got a total of 18 inches of snow the past couple of days and the snow piles are so tall that I can barely throw the snow on top of them….and there was another two inches last night that I am going to have do this morning…didn’t get much done yesterday but the snow but will be packing today and getting stuff staged so I can start moving when I close in a couple of weeks…I have some chicken thighs in the fridge that I need to cook today but I really have no appetite so I may just freeze them instead since I am only eating one meal a day now to try to keep the weight off…it’s not working but I have to keep trying….and, with all of the snow, I won’t be getting back on the bike before I move unless we get a heat wave and that is not going to happen…highs are going to be in the teens for the next week or so and I am really getting tired of this winter…so, I’m going to have more coffee and read some news as I contemplate what I’m going to do today….more later…
