Well…yeah, I’m really late today and it has just been from busy work around here…oh, and I did get 10 miles in on the bike today for the first time in 6 weeks and that felt good…but, that’s not what this is about…as you know, or I hope you do, the dems have been trying to put together a covid relief plan that would get the economy working for everyone again and it includes some more direct payments along with money to help cities, states, and struggling businesses and help pay to re-open schools….the latest polls say the even 59% of repubs really like the bill and want it passed along with enough dems and independents tot get the support to over 70%…so, what are the repubs that represent these 70% of the country doing? Yep, doing everything they can in the senate to derail it and stop it’s passage….so who the hell do these repubs represent? If 70% of the country want this bill passed and the repubs aren’t going to help, I guess we need to look for who they really represent…and this time it’s not even business since even the damn Chamber of Commerce wants it passed…so who? I don’t think it’s anyone but their own little shitty brains that have only one mode left…oppose anything the dems want even it it will hurt the country and it’s popular…so, we need to make them pay in 2022….what a bunch of assholes…

March 3rd
Well…damn, could this be a pattern? Got up at 6:27 again today but I don’t feel like I got any sleep at all…just worn right out and feel like I should go back to bed…and yep, I did part of that to myself last night but working on this place all day contributed, too….and today is going to be another busy one with three stops for the grocery run in a few minutes and then putting the new tires back on the car…and I hope I can fix the leaky outside faucet when I get back here…and replace the shower head that I just hate….I do feel good that I got a bunch of stuff done yesterday and the house is starting to come together….and today is going to be the first bike ride out here and I can’t wait for that….going to ride down to the landing and try to find the trail so I can go out to the lake….really need to get back to getting some exercise every day and start dropping the weight I’ve put on over the winter…and I hope that riding will firm up my abs again and help the pain I’ve had in my back for months now….can’t say not much to do today because I have lots to do and don’t feel like doing it…but, I’ll suck it up and get going in an hour or so…but I need more coffee right now….more later….
Another too busy day…
Well…damn, I really was going to take a few days off after I moved in here but it just hasn’t worked out that way….I still have so much stuff over at the old house that I needed to go over there this morning and pick some up and then clean…got the floors washed and waxed and got some clean up done downstairs, then back here to clear out the living room so I could install the 9×12 rug that my daughter got me, and then put everything back….she has taste like mine…the rug has grey, black, and white in a random non pattern that looks cool…and it makes the living room quieter and feels good to walk on…it will go really well with the grey that I am going to paint the walls in here but I don’t want to think about that right now…and if I spill some grey paint on it, you won’t be able to tell….after my brother stopped over to drop off the rest of the keys for the house and had more stories of how many people are bidding on houses way over asking, I feel like I got a damn good deal on this house and I am so happy that we got it done…can’t wait to go exploring on my bike…might get out for a ride tomorrow but I do want to put the summer tires back on the car since the winter ones are damn near bald…and I need to get out to depot, aldi’s, and meijers for the grocery run in the morning so it looks like another busy one….when do I get a break?
Josh Hawley should just shut the hell up…
Well…another spectacle in the senate today when one of the chief insurrectionists, Josh Hawley, was questioning the FBI chief Chris Wray about the January 6th attack on the capital…first, why the hell did they let one of the people responsible for the attack question anyone? You remember ole Joshie…the smug little prick who gave the raised fist salute to the attackers of the capital just before the attack began? And who was one of 9 repub senators who tried to overturn the legal results of the election? One interesting line of questioning was when ole Joshie asked if there were cell tower records of the day in question and if there were social media records for that day, too, and Joshie asking for that information sounds to me that he is really worried that he is going to show up in that data with either a phone call to the attackers or cell data that would show he met with some of them before the attack. I really do hope they have that data and find that little shit in it…he deserves a felony charge for conspiracy if he does…keep sweating Joshie…
March 2nd
Well…that was a little better…didn’t get up until 6:23 this morning and it’s about time I got some good sleep…I think part of it is that I got everything done I needed to yesterday and don’t have anything hanging over my head to do today…other than go back into town and clean this morning…it feels good to have my car inside again and my garage fits the Miata with room to spare…was thinking about putting the summer tires back on the car this week but it is supposed to snow a little on the day my son is moving back and I need to meet them at the house and the new tires are really bad in the snow…the winter tires are worn out and out of balance a little…we’ll see….just looked at the weather and I think I will put the new tires back on the car….the forecast says it will be rain/snow so I think I’ll be okay…but not til tomorrow…want to get the rug down here in the living room this afternoon after the run into town…it does feel good to have this house and know I can do whatever I want to it and don’t have to think about what anyone else wants….I think the pain from moving is finally subsiding since I don’t hurt too much this morning except for my hands…they are still stiff and sore and I think I’m going to have to take something for it…and it won’t help to go into town and clean for a couple of hours…I think it’s going to take 4 trips back to town just to pick up the stuff I didn’t move sat…I think I have a tote full of food to move today along with some tools….the ride will be much more pleasant after I get the new tires back on….more later….
If you didn’t already know….
Well…I’m back for a political one…not sure if you know but the big conservative hate fest called CPAC was held in Florida over the weekend, and the speakers were pretty consistent with all of them spewing the same old election lies that the election was “stolen” from the idiot trump and that the attack on the capital was done by antifa and BLM and they were just disguised as trump supporters…yadda, yadda….but, within all of the lies was a tiny kernal of truth of the fascist nature of the modern repub party….if you take a look at the main stage and it’s shape you can see that it is a little familiar to those of us who have had an interest in WWII….it was shaped like the “Odal rune” that was used on Nazi SS uniforms in WWII and is widely used by white supremacists in both the US and Europe…so now we know where the modern repub party stands…okay, we knew it was a white supremacist party and hates anyone who is not a white person but damn, trump has unleashed these folks with his “fine people on both sides” bs he pulled after the Charlottesville hate riots….how can this country not see that? Geez….
Progress!
Well…yeah, I know, this is not a political one but I made progress today and wanted to talk about it…first I did get out and ordered a new washer that will be delivered Sat…and when I was finding ABC, I found where my Daily Deals and Harbor Freight stores are…in the same complex only about 3 1/2 miles from here so that is really cool….and I called to get my garage door repaired and they came out this morning and fixed everything wrong with it for only 80 bucks…the opener is toast and I’ll have to get another one of those and hang it but I have my car in the garage! The door is really light and I can open it with one hand but I am going to wait a while to put an opener up…probably not until it gets warmer…I can live with that…and I had the rear interior door re-keyed today so I can’t lock myself out…never got those keys at closing…and that wasn’t bad so I did get a lot done already… and I am going to get to a political one as soon as I can find a topic….more later….
March 1st
Well…damn, that didn’t last long…up at 5:04 and couldn’t get back to sleep so I am feeling pretty slow and tired this morning…and it may be that the stress from the past month or so is finally hitting me and contributing to that….just want to go back to bed but I know that won’t work and will make me even more frustrated so I’ll just lean on coffee and hope that helps….I did get a lot of work done yesterday and I am hoping for more progress today with getting the door repair scheduled and going out to buy my new washer….it’s kind of weird that you can’t just buy the washer on ABC’s website like you can do on any other one but I guess they’re just old fashioned…I did notice that the dryer downstairs is a GE, too, so I’ll have almost a matching pair…the new washer will have to be leveled since the floor where it goes is not too even but I have my big level and lots of shim material so that should be no problem….the drain in the kitchen is still running too slow for me so I may have to climb in the crawl space and open up the clean out port to find out where the clog is…all of the drain pipes are new so it should be an easy fix….not much to do today…right now, anyway….need coffee and to just sit here for a while and let the coffee work….more later…
