Well…I read a lot of the news every day…maybe too much but I was still surprised at the new facts that were presented during the first January 6th hearing last night. While everyone felt that the idiot trump was the center of all of it, in this first hearing it was made explicitly clear that the whole damn thing was directed by idiot boy through his minions in the repub party and they all knew they were breaking the law with the bombshell that most of the repub house members who voted against certifying the votes then asked for pardons before the idiot was out of office….and trump himself was told multiple times that he was spewing a lie when he said the election was “stolen” from him but he didn’t care since he was doing everything he could to stay in office including committing treason. One of the things that I didn’t like was the elevating of Mike Pence to some sort of here for doing his ceremonial job and certifying the electoral votes…let’s just remember that he had his head up trump’s ass for 4 years and said nothing about all of the crimes that were being committed in that 4 years…and then the lionization of Liz Cheney for doing her damn job…I do appreciate what she is doing now, but lets remember that until this committee work, Cheney was just another super right wing repub who loved tax cuts for the rich and hated on LGBTQ people just like the rest of the repub party….I think the committee did a good job in laying out the overview of what is going to be revealed in the next 5 hearings and making the clear point that it was all trump…and without him none of this would have happened….and that is the most damning piece of information of all…

June 10th
Well…damn, it only in the 40′s again out there and I am not going to get on the bike in the 40′s anymore….and I think I’ve earned a late start today with doing 60 miles yesterday…and I hurt my back somehow and it is really stiff today…one of the new pains I talked about yesterday that I don’t normally feel after a long ride day…I did sleep okay last night and stayed in bed til almost 6:30 after waking up at 5 or so and I really don’t expect much better than that anymore…I would like to be surprised with a solid 8 hour night but, as time goes on, I know that is not going to happen…didn’t get a lot done yesterday…yeah, that’s not right…60 miles and mowing the lawn is a lot to do in one day but I didn’t get work done I guess is what I meant….but I don’t have a lot to do outside other than weed the garden and I may put the rest of the food on the lawn today to take advantage of the rain that we are supposed to get Sunday….the shade grass that I put in the front of the house really came in great and I wonder if I should try to take the moss out and re-seed where it is? I think I need some more topsoil to do that and I think I’ll get a couple of bags next week so when I get the bug to do it, I’ll have the stuff I need….not much to do today…I am going to do one on the first January 6th hearing that was held last night and all I’ll say now is if you are not watching, you should be….I think I’ll only do two rides today even though the weather is nice to make sure that I don’t do damage to my body…and if I don’t have cocktails or eat peanuts, I don’t need to burn the calories….I do need to do laundry and cook today…going to have a marinated pork chop, asparagus, and rice for lunch…yummy,,,,more later….
I made it to 60 miles…
Well…damn, 60 miles today…and that was not in the plan at all…but after I got to 45 early in the afternoon, I just had to try it….and it wasn’t bad…still had energy left to be able to sprint on the way back…no dead legs or other problems other than I have a few new pains that I don’t normally get doing shorter distances….but, I can live with them…and now I have to figure out if I keep this up just to see how long I can go doing 4 rides a day….or not…I probably should start doing some other things as I talked about the other day…have lots of cleaning to do and I want to replace the lattice on the front steps with solid boards to make it look a little more modern…oh, and with the 60 miles today, I went over 2,000 miles for the year to get to one third of the goal….I’m sure glad I got the new tire for the back of bike since this one will only last until about October at the rate I’m going…okay, done for the day…need to get a couple of things done before the hearings start….
It’s been an okay day….
Well…it’s almost two and it’s been an okay day so far….do I dare say that I even felt almost happy out on the second ride and I don’t know where that came from….and I have 45 miles in so far and mowed the lawn so I’m pretty sure I’ll be out for a 4th one after the Portugal/Czech republic soccer match that is on at 2:45…and I even mowed the lawn in between rides and the mower is still working fine after I fixed it a couple of weeks ago….still need to get the pork chops in the marinade here in a minute but I need to take a little break first…the soreness is starting to bubble up in my legs but I think they will still be a go when the soccer match is over around 5….I think I will make popcorn for the hearings at 8 tonight and I laughed my butt off when Mark Hamill popped up in my twitter feed this morning cradling a big bowl of popcorn in his pj’s in anticipation for tonight….it was good to have a lot of work to do today so I really didn’t have to think much…just to plan the sequence of the rides, lunch, and mowing….now it’s break time…I need some water….
It’s our civic duty…
Well…with the start of the January 6th hearings tonight, I’m going to implore all of my readers and the rest of the country to do our civic duty and watch them…8pm tonight on every channel but the traitors channel…otherwise known as fox news…but not just watch, take in the information that is going to come out and use it to inform your vote…and understand that everyone who was involved in trying to overthrow the government was a repub…and we know that even before any hearings or investigation….they all did it openly and in plain sight so you have to wonder what is going to come out that was hidden….the news has already reported that all of the facts so far point right back to the idiot trump…that his WH was the epicenter of all the criminal activity trying to keep him in power and most of the legal analysts think he has committed multiple felonies in the furtherance of the conspiracy…the key to this whole thing is what we do with the information we will get from the 6 hearings that are scheduled….do not fall into the the trap that both sides do it…never in the history of the country has a dem been involved in trying to overthrow the legally elected government of the US…not damn once and anyone saying otherwise is lying to go with the big lie that the election was “stolen” from idiot boy….so we need to take this information, put partisanship aside and do our civic duty and vote these traitors out of office…and guarantee they never get anywhere near the government again…and criminally prosecute anyone who broke the law trying to keep trump in office…that is the bare minimum…and it is our duty to make sure it happens…or the country is lost….
June 9th
Well…damn, it’s the middle of June and my heat came on last night and that is just wrong…and I’ll have to wait to get on the bike this morning since it is only about 48 out there and I need at least 50 to go out without long pants on…brrr…was up a bunch of times last night but slept okay and feel okay this morning so I’ll take that…and it looks like I have an hour before it will be warm enough to go out on the bike so I’ll have the chance to have enough coffee to get me started today….it was nice to have rain all day yesterday and I hope it’s enough to green my lawn back up after I fed it before the rain started a couple of days ago….but I know I’ll have to start watering it again and need to make the decision of how much brown I can accept before next week when it’s not supposed to rain at all and the temp is getting back up into the 80′s….and I also need to think about how much I want to go to the beach with the nice weather coming…damn, what a problem to have….I did get 5 of the 8 bean seeds I planted for extras to come up over the past day so that is cool but still no extra peppers and I must have planted 20 or 30 of them…I guess I’ll just have to do without them this year….but I have excess tomatoes coming up all over the garden from seeds that were left from the dropped tomatoes at the end of the season last year and I am a little curious what kind they are….not much to do today….just going to clean some after doing the bathroom yesterday and I’m going to feed all of the flowers that have come up along the house…not sure when I’m going to have to mow the lawn again but it won’t be today…and I need to get some of the pork chops I got yesterday in a marinade so I can have some of them tomorrow…oh, and I do need to watch the January 6th hearings tonight and I think everyone should….this is going to reveal just how bad the repubs are in their conspiracy against you, me, and the country…and it’s not going to be pretty….more later….
Looks like one ride today…
Well…I’m glad I decided to go out for a ride before I did the grocery run this morning…was waiting for a dry hole that was coming this way for a second ride but it just filled in and it looks like rain for the next 3 or 4 hours so probably only one ride today…unless I go out late after it’s over but I’m not sure I want to…so probably 3 rides tomorrow to make up for it….I did get out to GH this morning to get garden food and might have enough for half the summer anyway…then I hit aldis and got back here before 10 but still had a run to Hardings to make to get some assorted pork chops for 1.49 a pound and milk they had on sale…got 6 pounds of chops to restock the freezer and have some in a couple of days after the leftovers are done…I think taking the battery switch out of the back of the car has made a difference…it seems to start better…not like the battery is weak and that is pretty cool…and I drove almost 30 miles today which is 3 times what I normally do in a week…but now the car will sit til Sunday and getting the paper….I did get some cleaning done, too, and have a nice smelling bathroom with the second set of towels hung up…pretty nice to have two sets now….but, soccer is coming on in a few minutes and I am done working for the day…
The most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a while…
Well…you know how I feel about people toting guns around everywhere…that it shows that these people are scared of everything and have bought into the delusion that the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun…but a photo I saw yesterday in my twitter feed was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in a long time…the photo was of a white male, of course, who was waiting in line at a coffee shop and this moron had 4 pistols strapped to his hips and belly, and at least 20 full magazines for them, along with an AR-15 strapped across his back…and quite a few mags for it to go along with the rest of the stupidity…now, how the hell scared or delusional do you have to be to walk around in public armed like that? Another story showed that carrying around an AR-15 is no protection from robbery or anything else as a guy in St. Louis got robbed at gunpoint of his AR-15 that he had strapped to his back….and then went back to his car and got a pistol, took off after the robbers and shot two bystanders while never getting the AR-15 back….so I guess the “good guy” with a gun is not so good when he shoots bystanders while supporting his delusion that he is a tough guy when he really is just a scared piece of crap that has a nothing life and clings to his guns as the last thing he has control of…anyone who needs to display guns strapped all over their bodies to get “respect” has never earned any in life by being a good person who cares about others…you can’t intimidate people into respecting you…fear maybe, and I think that is how they get their jollies anyway…they love being a “big man” who can scare people…just a bunch of hollow bullshit…
If there is nothing there, why are they trying so hard to hide it?
Well…as of today, the repub spin machine is in high gear trying to belittle the January 6th committee and every low life from the right is on tv spouting the talking point that, again, it’s all a hoax and no one did anything wrong…including the idiot daughter in law of the idiot in chief who was on fox spewing her bullshit all day yesterday. The one question I want to ask is “if there is nothing there, why are the repubs and fox news trying so hard to hide it?” As you know, fox is not going to air any of the hearings and is tasking it’s “stars” with coming up with counter programming that will keep their viewers in the dark about what happened and even push the stupid idea they have been pushing from the start that the attack by right wing terrorists was a “false flag” done by the FBI and Antifa…and their stupid followers will eat it right up since they only watch fox news or newsmax and both of those channels are all conspiracy all the time and lie constantly…look, they are scared that even if just a few of the true believers are peeled off by the truth unveiled in the public hearings, it will be enough to put Florida into play and maybe even get Beto elected in Texas….that is why they are all in on propaganda and lies about January 6th…they know that if their god trump is proven to have been at the center of the treason, it may be possible to get the people who are on the fence to jump over to our side…and if they lose anyone, they are screwed…I hope…
June 8th
Well…that was a little better…didn’t get out of bed til 6:23 but was up and down all night and I’ll still take it….feel better this morning and might even have a little energy to go out on the bike here in a few minutes…even though it is only 52 out there right now…it is supposed to rain today but we have the same damn thing going on that happens all the time out here…the storms are splitting and going north and south and leaving us in the dry slot in between….so it looks like more money going into the lawn with watering it over the next few days…darn…didn’t get much done yesterday and that is a little disappointing…I think part of it is a lack of planning and just winging the days when I know that I’ll gravitate toward doing nothing if I do that….but I really don’t have a lot to do outside here anymore with all of the big outside projects done….I do have to brave the construction and run into GH to the depot there to get the garden food I need since they don’t carry it up here and that is a little weird….might do that tomorrow or later today if it rains…it is a little weird that I’m using Meijers less and less as they have less bargains on sale every week…this week, I’m not even going there at all and will just go to Aldi’s and Hardings to get sale items…I think they’ve outsmarted themselves by forcing you to buy multiple items to get the sale prices…I mean how much of one thing does a person living alone need? Not much to do today…need to ride here in a minute and then out to aldi’s but that is about all I have planned…will try to get a second ride in later this morning but I still have my fingers crossed that I’ll get rained out….more later….
