Last one for the month…

Well…how the hell is it 48 degrees for a high on the last day of April? With the wind blowing almost 20 and gusting out here, I skipped the bike ride since I just couldn’t take being that cold or putting on all of my heavy stuff just to go out and suffer in the brutal wind…I did get some stuff done this morning when I tried to clean the porch windows but found that the problems are between the double glass so they can’t be cleaned…and you can’t get the screens out to even clean them so they will have to be on the agenda to be replaced next year if I can afford it…should cost over a thousand bucks even with cheap windows and I just don’t want to spend that right now…. and I got some flower seeds planted out front along with using my new hose end sprayer to put weed killer on the front where the weed and feed didn’t do crap and it is full of dandelions….then I put some new veggie seeds in cups since the ones I planted a week ago aren’t doing anything and I need to get them in the ground in the next couple of weeks…I do have 5 bean plants up and some tomatoes but no peppers came up so I planted a whole new set of them to make sure I have everything I want…I really do have a big garden and want to fill it….other than that stuff, I haven’t done anything else today…just tired with only getting a little sleep last night but I do need to get started on the rest of the windows to clean them but I want to wait for that until I power wash the house…the 8 foot ladder I bought will really help with that and reaching the gutters that need repairs…but, I’m taking the rest of the day off and I think I’m having cocktails tonight since I’ve been good since last Saturday….and I have to remember that I don’t have a schedule anymore…that I don’t need to bust my ass anymore working around here…but that is going to be a hard habit to break….

Matt Gaetz is screwed…

Well…with all of the sex scandals swirling around ole Matt, revelations over the past few days show just how screwed this asshole is…his pimp buddy greenburg, who Gaetz paid to pay women (and one girl at least) to have sex with him, was just reported to have been begging roger stone and even offering to pay him 250,000 dollars to get trump to give him a pardon…and all of this is down on paper and in screenshots that the moron took from his encrypted texts with stone that were supposed to disappear so no one could prove that he asked for the pardons….and stone really wanted that cash to the point of telling greenburg to have it ready for when he talked to trump….and the FBI and prosecutors have all of this information and it IS going to result in multiple indictments for ole Matt once the wheels of justice grind that far forward…and with all that going on, ole Matt now has plans to hold “America first” rallies with another idiot repub, Marjorie Taylor Greene, who was stripped of all of her committee assignments since she is such a wacko….I wonder if ole Matt is going to continue on that path now? Probably, since all repubs think that the law doesn’t apply to them and that would be par for the course…tick, tock, matt…they’re coming for you….

April 30th

Well…finally, it rained overnight and was still raining when I got up…and I think the birds liked it since I could hear them like they were inside when I was walking through the living room…I really hope this will help my lawn filled in and get the weed killer activated that I put on the lawn weeks ago…I still have liquid weed killer to use if the damn dandelions in the front don’t die and I may treat the yard anyway since the liquid stuff works better…I did sleep okay last night but was up at 5:04 and then spent an hour in that state that is not really sleeping but not really awake, either, until a little after 6…and I have found that I really don’t need the sleep aids anymore if I just accept that I won’t have the deep sleep that I remember when I was younger…and that’s okay…feel pretty good this morning and have a couple of errands to run early…the Mega is up to over 300 mil so I need to get a few tickets and I forgot to get milk when I did the grocery run earlier in the week and I need to get more cups for veggie seeds since the old ones I’m using don’t seem like they are going to come up and I bought more at lowe’s yesterday just in case…I do need to get on doing the windows on the porch since I do have a ladder to reach it now and I hope they can be cleaned but I think they my be permanently cloudy and will have to be replaced at some point….not much to do today…going to have to wait to get on the bike since it is in the 40′s still and that sucks with it being only one day away from May so I’ll get my errands done first and then see how the day unfolds….more later…

Ha, ha,ha…Rudy…

Well…from the responses I’ve seen in the news, I’m not the only one laughing about the FBI raiding ole rudy’s apartment and offices in NYC and confiscating all of his phones and other electronic devices in regard to his sketchy attempts to get “dirt” on Joe and Hunter Biden in the Ukraine…look, I know you’ve heard from his idiot son and lawyer saying that it wrong to go after the former lawyer for the president and it’s never happened before…etc….yeah, but no lawyer for the president (other than John Dean) was involved in crimes like ole rudy was and still is…and the hoops that investigators and prosecutors had to jump through are much more stringent than in normal cases, but the underlying principle is the same…that the prosecutors had to prove to a judge probable cause that a crime had been committed to be able to get the search warrants…or they never would have been issued. One thing we have to remember is that all of the evidence that was presented to this judge existed while trump and barr were running the justice department and they knew it, but they did everything they could to make sure that no one would prosecute…but now that a real AG is running things there, crimes will be prosecuted no matter who it is or what connections they have…..and it is just so delicious that one of the idiots that enabled trump at every turn is getting his criminality exposed to the light of day…and I hope he pays for the damage he has done to this county…and I hope the idiot trump and bill barr are next….

April 29th

Well…it’s official, there will be no spring this year…just looked at the weather and it’s supposed to be in the 50′s to lower 60′s all the way through May and that just sucks…and the heat just came on and it’s the end of April…and I haven’t even tried to get into shorts this year and this is the latest in memory that there was not even an attempt…oh, and it doesn’t rain out here in Muskegon…the last appreciable rain was almost 3 weeks ago and I was so looking forward to sitting on my porch in the rain….oh, well…I did sleep okay on the 4th night of being good and had some dreams that I don’t remember but that’s okay…as long as I had them it means I got into REM sleep and that is the restorative kind that helps your brain heal overnight…and I didn’t get out of bed until almost 6:30 and I’ll take that…I think I may have to buy more veggie seeds since I’m using last years and none of them are coming up in the cups on the windowsill….the only ones that are up are the new beans that I planted but I have 5 of them up so far…I guess I can wait a week to see…or maybe I’ll get some at Lowe’s this morning since I am going out to get some concrete paver blocks to make a path  for the mailman through my flowers in the front…if they ever come up…not much to do today….just the Lowe’s run after I have coffee and read the news and then a bike ride before lunch….and Man U plays at 3 so I need to have everything done by then..at least I’ll have a clean car for errands this morning….more later….

Got some work done…

Well…I’ve got so darn much stuff to do around here that even when I do get stuff done, I don’t even feel that good about it…after an iffy night of sleep last night, I dumped a huge quantity of coffee down me just to get moving and was out on the lawn to mow before 9…after I got that done…oh, the lawn is starting to look better but still has too many weeds and bare spots for me but I think I need to just understand that it won’t look good until next year probably…but I am going to treat it with some liquid weedkiller in the next few days since the weed and feed didn’t kill all the weeds and that is just damn annoying…after the yard work, I got on the bike to do 15 miles into a 14 mph wind…not all the way but all the way out to the beach so that made for a good run coming back but I was still sore from yesterday’s 30 miles so I only did one ride today…after lunch, I remembered that the car was just filthy since I hadn’t done the interior since before I moved out here so I got out the shop vac and went to work on it…after I got the vacuuming done, I decided to wash the rest of the interior to get rid of the dust and dirt from moving…and I had the cloth from a speaker grill that had come loose so I glued that back down and then decided to wash the rest of the car, too, so I got that done by about 3 and then decided I’d take the rest of the day off…and that’s where the not feeling good about the work I’d done came from…after all…there were 3 more hours I could work but didn’t….and there are still hundreds or thousands of hours of work to do on the house that won’t get done unless I get moving now….and that is a little depressing…I need a vacation…

Now tucker wants his followers to break the law…

Well…I guess this is what you get when you have a moron like  tucker who has never had to work a day in his life being held up as someone to listen to…and the stupidity and disregard for his followers is on full display with his exhortation for them to report parents protecting their children by having them wear masks as child abuse…yep, this idiot has asked his followers to comitt a crime by filing false police reports just because he doesn’t like people wearing masks since it takes away their “freedumb” and to own the libs….aren’t you tired of this asshole yet? The right has turned victimhood into an art form and made it the only reason that the repubs exist…no policy, no helping people hurt by the pandemic…just a howling victimhood that expresses itself in lies and stupidity every day…how the hell do these people see themselves? As freedom fighters against cloth?  I know that I’ve had enough of all of this bullshit and whining…what a worthless bunch…geez…

April 28th

Well…man, I’m sore this morning after doing a double on the bike yesterday…and I just realized I rode all the way around Muskegon Lake yesterday with getting to the state park after riding out to Lake Michigan in the morning…and it was brutal coming back 6 miles into a 20 mph wind….and I discovered where all the rich people live in North Muskegon…yow, there are some damn castles along the bluff on the lake that must go for 3 or 4 million dollars….and the roads are in such good shape that it’s like riding on glass…even the damn street signs are fancy….boy, you can really see the divide between the haves and have nots when you go through there….all I know is that even with almost 600 miles on the bike since I got out here, my butt was still so sore that I didn’t know if I was going to make it back here…and that is normally toughened up by now….oh,well…I did get my flower seeds planted and I hope some of them come up since it would look cool…but, I think I need to get more seeds to get coverage on all of the border…we’ll see….it does look like it rained a bit last night but not enough to soak the yard and get my grass seed going…I think we’re in a drought out here it has been so dry and I wonder if that is normal? I haven’t lived out here long enough to know what the patterns look like…but it would be nice if I could mow the lawn without having clouds of dust from the bare spots choke me as I run over them…not much to do today…I should take the old opener down in the garage but the first thing I want to do is vacuum the car out since I haven’t done that since I moved out here and it is looking pretty gross….first things first, though, I need more coffee and to read the news…and then plan what to do for the day…cripes, I don’t know why I’m still planning my days….more later….

Hey, morons…get vaccinated…

Well…hey, trump cultists, when are you ever going to figure out you are being manipulated by your “friends” at fox news? All day, every damn day, every one of the talking heads on fox are telling you constantly to not get vaccinated and to attack people who have been…but guess what, morons? Every damn one of those talking heads who spew their lies and keep you worked up all damn day have all been vaccinated! I guess vaccinations are only for the rich who take advantage of you stupid, stupid cultists…will knowing this make any difference to the unthinking horde? Not a chance…after all, fox has been lying constantly to the idiots for 30 years and the idiots always make up rationalizations to give them a pass for it…I wonder what this one will be? That Bill Gates snuck it into their cocaine and they took it by accident? Or they thought they were taking a new “miracle cure” pushed by the my pillow guy and Obama switched it out for vaccine? Whatever it is, these mooks will be all in for whatever the lie is….geez…

April 27th

Well…you know, I’m getting used to this being good stuff…I know I’ve said that before but last night I had no desire at all to have cocktails and I slept pretty well…feel okay, too, and my thumb is not hurting at all and that is a miracle after all the chopping I did yesterday….I think I may be turning the corner on the pain I’ve been getting from working around here since my back didn’t hurt much even after all of the bending, chopping, and hauling yesterday…and I’ll take that…had been feeling really old and decrepit with not being able to go like I used to but I think it’s better…I should be hobbling around here and I’m not so I’ll take it….I do need to work on the lawn more this morning and get the manure worked into the garden….and there are some bare spots in the lawn that need seed and it is supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow so that will get it started…I hope…I do have one bean plant that has sprouted in the cups on the windowsill and I am hoping that I get all of the 8 that I planted to come up…that is one thing from last year’s garden that didn’t work too well….only got a few beans and there is nothing like fresh picked green beans so I am planting a bunch more this year….along with more green peppers since I only got about a half dozen off of 4 plants last year….not sure how good the soil is in the garden, it looks pretty sandy and I hope the manure will help that….if not, I’ll add some top soil to it, too, have plenty of time since it will be a few weeks until I’m ready to plant….not much to do today…doing the grocery run today along with depot and then back here for more yard work before I get on the bike…it is supposed to be almost 60 out there so it looks like a top down run with no fleece today…I think I may be edging up to switching to shorts soon…but it still may be too cold yet…we’ll see…more later…
