Well…it’s finally official…I am damn tired of working on this house….spent the whole afternoon masking off the trim in the kitchen to get ready to paint the grey tomorrow and some of the white paint is already being pulled off the trim just re-positioning the tape as I was putting it on….and I had cleaned everything with tsp and scrubbed everywhere there was grease from cooking but I guess that wasn’t enough…so there will be lots of touch up on the trim Thursday and Friday…I never really expected to have a new looking house interior when I started on it…if I wanted that, I would have stripped the trim and re-finished the oak but that was way more work than I was ever going to do….I am just tired of working, working, working….and I think I’ve gotten to the point that I just need a rest and however the kitchen turns out it’s good enough for me….okay, that’s enough whining…there is not one straight line in all of the seams that I taped off today….have to keep reminding myself that this is an old house and the next people will make it look new….I need some time off….

It’s all connected….
Well…when you look at the economy and how well it is doing, you would never know it by Biden’s approval rating which is hovering at 37%….and no matter what he does, record job growth, huge wage gains, repairing out standing in the world, no one knows it with how the media is focusing on bullshit and never even reports on any good things going….and, it hit me this morning that this hiding of Biden’s good achievements, most of the inflation, and focusing on the “failures” of the Biden administration is all connected….since most of the media in this country is run by repubs for repubs, it is just one facet of the attack that is going on against him right now…and inflation is the second…it is well known that prices are not rising for any reason other than business is taking excess profits and the whole inflation story is just a cover for that…look, when Starbucks could give each and every one if it’s employees a five thousand dollar bonus and still have 2.6 billion in profit left over…why the heck are they raising prices? And why are they fighting unionization so hard when they could easily afford everything that the workers are asking for and still be rolling in profit…it’s all about trying to take advantage of the inflation story that the repub editors have decided, in consultation with business owners, is going to be pushed all day every day both to give them cover for stealing more from their customers and to hurt any dem administration so they can get another repub in office who will let them steal everything and never pay any taxes at all. It really doesn’t matter how much they hurt the US while pulling this crap since they have no allegiance other than to themselves and their money…and all of this is connected into the web of deceit that they will use to continue to take more and more…people need to wake up to these connections and try to seek out the truth instead of just listening to the talking heads that go on and on about the price of gas when it’s all just gouging the people…and of course it’s Biden’s fault…geez…
Got back on schedule…
Well…after getting a late start this morning, I did get on the bike and got started by 7:15 and finished before 8 and I got me out the door by 8:20 or so and that put me back on schedule for the day…I did get the car washed and then over to depot to get some small things I needed…and outlet to replace the one they plastered over, a small glue gun to fasten the shield for the power feed to the range hood back to the wall after I paint, and a small roller to get into spaces that my big one won’t fit..along with a couple of cover plates for the outlets…got back here a little after 9 and have already installed the new outlet and have lunch cooking and have paid all the bills that are due in the next week or so…and now I’m finishing up the coffee and relaxing a bit…I was going to buy my new range hood at depot this morning but they only had white ones so I had to order it on line from them and it is supposed to be here Thursday but I’ll believe that when I see it…planning on not getting it until next week and that will be okay…I’ll have everything else done by then and it should only take about 5 minutes to install…so, a productive morning even with not doing much…I will be back for a political one later but I need to read some news first…more later….
March 1st
Well…damn, running really late today with not getting out of bed until 6:44 and that will make me late for the whole day and I only have 9 minutes to get on the bike and get it started….had an okay day yesterday and got a lot done but today is going to be a little easier….not going to work on the kitchen today since I need to get out and wash the car and hit depot for materials and I need to let the paint harden up some before I mask off the white so I can paint the grey…and I am going to get a small roller since I have a lot of places that the big one won’t fit and I don’t want to use a brush on a large part of the walls…and I have to get an electrical socket and cover plates to finish up the detail work….I may even get the range hood so I can finish up the kitchen by the end of the week…not sure yet…not much to do today…just need to get going and get on the bike so I can get out and get the errands done and I won’t get that started just sitting here…more later….
