Well…damn, another day that I just can’t get started and didn’t even get out of bed until 6:30….I can’t figure out how I’m sore everywhere today…didn’t do anything strenuous at all but my rib cage aches all around and it hurts a bit to move….hmmmm….it looks like I’ll only get one ride in today with the rain that is coming in and should start here in about an hour and a half so that means I need to get on the bike really soon but I just started my first cup of coffee and I need that to jump start my brain today…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same except cleaning up around here since my brother is coming over to take me to lunch….and I do need some motivation to straighten this place up and that is as good as any….damn, it’s 7 and I should be on the bike….it’s been pretty quiet up here the past few days and it feels good to not have to be making noise calls every damn day….but the motorcycles have been pretty noisy and the bands they have downtown for the event can be heard pretty clearly from here…and I wonder why that doesn’t bother me at all but loud music up here does? Could probably write a paper on the psychology of that….not much to do today…just going to wing it after the one ride today and cleaning…no beach with the rain coming in and I think my skin will thank me for that….I have freckles on my hands and arms and I think it make me look old…but I am old so I guess I’ve earned it….more later…..

These are some sick bastards…
Well…the repub cult is full of sick bastards who just revel in the fact they are sick bastards…if you haven’t heard, a 10 year old girl in Ohio was raped and became pregnant from it and those assholes in Ohio tried their hardest to force this 10 year old child to give birth to the rapists baby but she was able to be taken to Indiana where the abortion was performed…and in another sick twist, fox news hyped and hyped that this girl didn’t exist and it was all a lie by the left in response to the gutting of Roe…once someone was arrested for the rape, they moved on to what about the father’s rights? Didn’t he have any say in the abortion? Yeah, sick bastards all of them…and to compound this sickness, now the AG of Indiana wants to investigate the doctor who performed the abortion…saying that “there is a strong public interest in understanding if any woman is having an abortion in our state”….this is exactly why woman’s right need to enshrined the constitution of every state…so the christofascists can’t decide that there is a “strong public interest” for the state to interfere in any woman’s decisions….just like is going to happen here in Michigan….it’s going to be on the ballot this fall…and it is going to pass…geez…
Some people just can’t shut up…
Well…just got back here after a shortened beach trip and I am still shaking my head from it…after setting up and being out there in an open spot…this group of two women and a man had to set their chairs up about 10 feet from me when the whole damn beach was empty almost….and one of the women would not shut up…for two damn hours she just talked, and talked, and talked…and it was like listening to fox news turned up to eleven…she had every damn opinion there is in the world and every one of them were wrong….just like fox news and I could hear her over the ear buds I had to put in to get some peace…why the hell do some people think that they need to talk every frickin minute? After a while, I got tired of the drone and just gave up and came home…and the water was colder than crap anyway…the lake must of turned over since it was a good 10 degrees colder than it was yesterday…kind of a bust out there today…oh, well….I’ll get to a political one here in a minute…more later…
July 14th
Well…darn…just can’t get going this morning…got up at 6:37 and it’s already after 7 and I’m just getting to this….need to get moving but just poured my first cup of coffee so it’s not working yet….slept okay but don’t really feel like it but I feel that way all the time so I’m not surprised….I did get downtown last night to watch a band concert for a while and it was fun and perfect weather for it…but the damn motorcycle event started and all you could hear were people racing all over the place and the loud rock and country bands playing on the street…going to be a long 4 days….I did get out to the beach yesterday and got some sun and I’m doing that again today since it is supposed to rain tomorrow…yep, I’m surprised at that, too…and maybe even some storms Sunday…just realized I may have gone overboard with the protein with the grocery run yesterday when I opened the fridge door…bought 10 pounds of chicken, 4 pounds of smoked kielbasa, and a pound and a half of turkey….so I need to figure out how to use some and freeze the rest…..will probably make chicken today and use up the rest of the potato salad so I can make more tomorrow….not sure why I went so crazy but all of that protein only cost about 16 bucks so how could I pass it up? Not much to do today….just need to get on the bike here in about 13 minutes to get started and then do a normal day with a beach run in there….I did get some beans blanched and frozen yesterday but still no tomatoes so this year looks like a bust…oh, well….I just may take a day off tomorrow if it rains and get caught up on my cleaning….I wonder if I could just veg a day out? We’ll see…more later….
Man, another busy one…
Well…dang, another busy day today with getting on the bike before 7 and then the grocery run to three stores, back here for another ride, then out to the beach and back here to do some work to my old lounge so I can continue to use it the rest of the year…and now I’m done for the day and it is about 2:36….but I still have laundry to do and taking care of the gardens and that will probably take another hour so this will be a long one…I am going to head down to Heritage later to see a band concert just for the heck of it…not sure who is putting it on but there is a big sign up for it and it’s close so I’ll check it out. It is going to be loud around here starting tomorrow since they have a 4 day motorcycle event going on downtown with bands and lots of loud motorcycles and I may even ride down to take a look and hang around a bit…I don’t look forward to this one since last year idiots were racing up and down 7th street all damn day and night…but I guess it helps the businesses out here so I can suck it up and not bitch too much…maybe I will after it starts but not now…right now I need to just veg a bit and get the clothes in the dryer….
Hey repubs, I have a clue for you…
Well…with all of the bleating on the right about inflation and as they ignore that their party tried to destroy this country by an armed insurrection, I have a clue for repubs…trying to destroy this country and steal an election is worse than inflation…say it after me…stealing an election is worse than inflation….get it? And let’s make sure you understand this, too…not one damn repub has come out to say the the idiot trump is innocent…they all know he is guilty as hell and most of them tried to help with either the attack or the coverup afterward…how many of them do you hear still saying the election was stolen? Almost every damn one of them and most of the ones running for office this fall are running on the big lie and continue to spew that bullshit….even though every person from Bill Barr to his campaign chair told idiot boy he lost he is still poisoning our society with his “rallies” where he continues to lie to his followers and grift money from them….trump needs to be in jail and right now…it is not free speech when you are trying to get people to commit acts of violence against your political foes….and every one of the repubs who have testified to the January 6th committee have had to go into hiding since they have gotten thousands of death threats that are directly a result of trump and his cult of personality…when do we stop this crap? The time is now…geez…
July 13th
Well…damn, need to get going pretty quickly since I need to get on the bike before I do the grocery run so that means I need to get out of here in the next 15 minutes or so….it did rain last night so I won’t need to water the lawn today but I really wish it would storm or rain during the day for a change so I could see it….I have a little conundrum with the grocery run today…both aldi’s and DD have protein that I can use but that will mean I’ll have too much here…but how do you pass up chicken leg quarters for 59 cents a pound or smoked kielbasa for 1.99 or sliced turkey sandwich meat for 2.37 for 22 ozs? So that means 3 stops this morning and I need to get at it…slept okay last night but was up at 4:11 for the first time and then out of bed at 6:11 and I’m still in a sleep deficit for my life I think….and I still feel worn out but I guess I’ll have to live with that for the rest of my life…I’m old so I guess that goes with it….I did get out to the beach to play in the waves yesterday but the new beach has screwed up the wave action and made a bad rip and undertow…the waves were even going in toward the beach and out at the same time and crashing into each other…some weird stuff I’ve never seen before…needless to say, I had to be really careful out there and it took a lot out of me….but I’ll be back out there again today….but I’ll be using the old chair since the new one broke the first time I used it and I’ll have to return it and hope the 15 year old one will last out the summer….not much to do today…I got the lawn mowed late yesterday afternoon so I don’t have much to do but the grocery run today but I need to get off my butt and get going….more later….
Trump witness tampering…
Well…not sure if you watched the hearing today but damn, at the end, Liz Cheney dropped a bombshell that should have the idiot trump shitting his pants….it was revealed at the end that idiot boy tried to call one of the committee’s future witnesses and gee, I wonder what that call was going to be about? Luckily the target of the call didn’t answer and instead called their attorney and the attorney called the January 6th committee…and then the committee referred the evidence to the DOJ…and this crime is a felony that he did right out in the open in real time…so, I know I’m impatient that idiot boy is still running around free causing even more trouble when his crimes are clear and anyone else would be in jail right now, so damn, haul his ass in right now and get this over with…and don’t stop with him…Flynn, Giuliani and the rest of them need to be in orange jumpsuits right now, too….so come on Garland…get on the ball….
Women’s rights on the ballot….
Well…some good news today here in Michigan as the groups trying to enshrine women’s rights to control their own body in the Michigan constitution blew past the required 400K signatures on the petitions to almost double that….so it will be on the ballot this fall and I am pretty damn happy about that…and the article went on to say they had 60,000 volunteers sign up to gather the signatures necessary and no one has ever seen that before…and with these rights polling at over 70%, it is almost certain to pass…but you can be sure the repubs here are already scheming to nullify these rights so we also need to vote these corrupt assholes out and put the dems back in control of the house and senate along with re-electing Whitmer for governor…okay, the JWST photos are coming up…need to watch….
July 12th
Well…damn, finally…we got some rain out here yesterday and it even rained twice in one day and I can’t remember that happening in a long long time….and I put food down on it before the rain and I think it’s as green as I’ve ever seen it…at least in the summer…and that means that I’ll have to mow here today or tomorrow…and it may even rain again tonight so that means that I won’t have to water it til Friday or so…slept okay last night but woke up with tight skin and can’t figure that out with not going to the beach yesterday…all I did was drive down to GH to get a new beach chair so that must be it…and the new chair fits in the trunk so that is cool…didn’t think I’d be able to find one this late in the summer….I am going out to the beach today to try it out but need to be back here by 1 for the hearing…so I need to haul ass to be off the bike for the new JWST photos that will be revealed at 10:30 and will need to be on the beach by 11 or so…damn, see that…rushing again and I can’t figure out how not to do it when I have things I want to do…..not much to do today….just going to ride and get to the beach and then veg out for a bit this afternoon….have a nice cool breeze blowing through here right now and I wish I had time to just enjoy that for a while…but I have to do my teeth right now so I can get on the bike….more later….
