Well…damn, I’m sore this morning and I knew it was going to happen with all of the work I did yesterday…and my allergies have flared and I have been sneezing all morning…I feel miserable and I sure hope it gets better soon or today is going to be a chore….it’s almost 7 and there is no way I’m getting on the bike soon….and that’s okay since it’s all I have to do today and I can take my time….I do have to take the last of the tomatoes off the plants and start getting them bagged up to put out but I probably should wait til Monday to do that so I don’t have the bag stored in the garage…but it’s supposed to rain Monday so I may do that over the weekend…I did get 5 pounds of Johnsonville smokey cheddar brats yesterday and I can’t wait to try some of them…and I got a couple of containers of black forest ham for 1.49 each so I have food for the next couple of weeks…but I do need to clean my fridge to make some room in it today….and there is no room in the freezer so I won’t be buying any protein for a while….not much to to today…all I want to do is sit here on the couch for a while and I think I will…have just started the first cup of coffee and I’m going to need two just to get jump started and even think about getting on the bike….and it’s still dark out there at 7 so I probably won’t get out before 8….I feel pretty damn old today…and I don’t like that one bit….more later….

What a fraud….
Well…not sure if you read the news today the John Durham is ending his “investigation” into the origins of the trump/Russia conspiracy investigation with spending 40 million dollars, over 3 years, and no convictions coming from it…and, if you remember, this was supposed to be the investigation that was going to reveal that the Clintons and every other dem was involved with faking the 100′s of connections between the trump campaign and Russian agents and put lots of people in jail…but nope, one person went to trial for lying to the FBI but was acquitted since there really wasn’t any evidence….just a bunch of conspiracy theories that run rampant in maga world…..now, I’m sure that the magats out there will now say that Durham is part of the “deep state” and all of the real “evidence” that George Soros is behind it is being hidden in the basement of a pizza parlor somewhere or in Hillary Clinton’s closet….so again these assholes burn money that could have been used to fund school lunches for absolutely nothing…and Durham should be disbarred for it…geez…the whole damn party is a fraud…
Another really busy day…
Well…damn, just finished another busy day and it is almost 3:30…started out at 8 with the grocery run to three stores and then back here to get two rides in before noon, then got the laundry in as I did the second one of these and had lunch, then decided to mow and edge the lawn as I waited for the dryer to run….with the annoying velcro failure of my right riding glove…yeah, how the hell does velcro fail? It looks like all of the loops unraveled in the fuzzy part of it so I took some of the new stuff I bought to fix my hat the other day and sewed it over the failed stuff and now that is fixed…and the dryer finished so I put all of the clothes away and I am now looking at the groceries that are still in their bags on the dining room floor and need to get moving to put those away…so, it has been a really busy day today and I am just now getting to sit here and have some ice water to replace all of it that I sweated out doing the lawn….I am going to be sore tomorrow as the pain in my shoulder started when I was doing the trimming and that needs to be addressed with some ibuprofen…but the good thing is that I’m done with the lawn for another week and all I have to do tomorrow is ride the bike and clean some…and the yard looks great and that makes me feel good….
This is pretty funny…
Well…just waiting for the washer to finish so I can put the clothes in the dryer and then go out and mow the lawn, but I thought I’d come here first and just do a little one on something that made me laugh this morning….it appears that the FBI confiscated the pillow guy’s phone as he was eating at a Hardees yesterday….I didn’t know they even had Hardees anymore and someone who is supposed to be a billionaire eating there? I guess all of his effort to get information on voter fraud into the hands of the FBI finally happened, though not the conspiracy theories he has been trying to give to them since the 2020 election…I think this means that the investigations into trump and his cronies are picking up speed and breath but I really do wish they would charge some of these assholes and get them to shut the hell up….oh, well…it’s coming soon…tick tock, trump…
September 14th
Well…I’m going to do something unprecedented this morning…I’m not going to ride the bike before I do the grocery run….Just don’t feel like it and there is plenty of time to do that later….still trying to become more flexible with my life and this could be a step but we’ll see how badly I react to it…I do feel better this morning so I hope the reaction to the vaccine is going away…not as sore today but my right thigh is still giving me fits with the pain but I know that is from riding and I can’t figure out how I hurt it…I am going to hit DD this morning to load up on some brats and other stuff…how can you not buy brats when you can get 5 pounds for 8 bucks? And, with the train strike happening on Friday, there are going to be shortages of everything so I am going to stock up enough food to last a while….I know they are bad for me but I can take a little bad food with all the veggies I’ve been eating….and I’ll keep that up until the tomatoes are gone next week….not much to do today…just the grocery run and riding later but I do need to clean the kitchen at some point…still haven’t started on the house yet and that may wait til next week…just don’t feel any urgency to get started but I know I will soon…I do need to start thinking of what I want to see on the UK trip so we can do the conference call to the travel agent next month…damn, homework…thought that was all behind me…more later…
This one is worse…
Well…this one is worse…this is the 5th covid vaccine that I’ve gotten and the first 4 caused just a little arm pain but this one is different…I ache everywhere and feel a little worn down with chills and sweating but I can live with it…I think my immune system is working overtime with this booster being for both the BA4 and BA5 variants…I could be having a headache from it, too, but I’ve had a low grade headache since August when the goldenrod and ragweed started to bloom so I can’t be sure…so, I took the day off today and just rested but I have lots to do tomorrow so I need to feel better….and I sure hope I do…time for more rest….
Paranoia strikes deep….
Well…yeah, I stole that line from Buffalo Springfield but it truly is descriptive of the idiot trump’s behavior yesterday on another one of his tacky golf courses…all day we saw the idiot and his cronies driving golf carts, without golf clubs, all over the course where they would stop and get out of them to stand around in a group while trump was talking to them…can you say obstruction of justice going on in plain sight? His paranoia of being bugged has exploded to the point where he is using mobster tactics just like gotti did when he thought he was being bugged…and one of the funniest takes on his behavior came from Steven Van Zant who played a mobster in the Sopranos and posted a photo on twitter of he and his fellow actors from the show on the golf course captioned “at least we brought golf clubs” and that made me laugh out loud…and I really do think trump should be paranoid with the report that 40 subpoenas went out last week to much of his inner circle to do with trying to overturn the 2020 election…hey, idiot boy, maybe you should hide in a bunker like saddam hussein did…they are coming for you…tick tock….
September 13th
Well…not sure if it was getting the vaccine or what but I didn’t get out of bed until 6:48 this morning and I still hurt a bit…but it’s better than last night so I’ll take it…but it is a little weird that the pain in the vaccination site is mirrored in my right arm…and that amuses me….and I forgot to hit the button on the coffee maker after I loaded it last night so I’m only on my first cup of coffee and I’m going to need more before getting on the bike…I wonder if the chills I had last night are from the vaccine or it just being cold? Whatever it was, I put my sweats and socks on to be comfortable and that reminded me that fall is coming and I don’t mind that at all…read an article about the details of the development that is going to happen on the point and it looks like it is going to be pretty cool with lots of public spaces for fishing and boating…and they are going to start on it next year…man, this is going to be a nice community with all the work being done…almost a billion dollars of improvements in the next 5 years along the lake…and selfishly, it is going to make my house worth much more in that time…it could be worth 200 grand by the time I die….hmmmm….darn…this should have been a separate one….not much to do today….need to get out on the bike here in a couple of minutes but I really don’t have much than that to do today…I did fix my bike riding hat with some velcro yesterday after the adjusting strap rotted through from sweat and whenever I come up with something like that it makes me feel that I still have capability even though I’m just so damn old….I sure need to eat more today after just a small chunk of ribs and some tomatoes yesterday…but I’m not sure what that would be…more later….
John Robert’s whining tour…
Well…it looks like SC chief justice John Roberts got his fee fees hurt from the protestors outside the supreme court there to voice their displeasure with the court taking rights away from more than 50% of the country when the gutted roe…and he is whining and whining about it saying that people shouldn’t do that just because they don’t agree with any court ruling. Yeah…pretty damn tone deaf when he allowed alito to reach back before the constitution was even written and use the ranting of a witch burner as justification for taking away rights for the first time in the history of the court…and Johnny boy, you fully supported ignoring settle law and precedent when he did that…and you are a grown man whining like a little kid when someone doesn’t like you acting like a frickin king and criticizes you… and you have telegraphed you are going to let the right wing hacks on your court continue to try to come for voting rights as you did when you wrote the opinion gutting the voting rights act saying that “racism no longer exists in this country” so the VRA is no longer needed…so quit your whining…you did this to the court…you engineered this collapse of the legitimacy of the court and you still allow Thomas the seditionist to sit on the court as his wife tried to overthrow the government…so just quit your bitching until you fix the damage you’ve done…geez…
Fully boosted again….
Well…with over 500 people dying every day from the Omicron variant of covid, it still seems a pretty dangerous sickness and I was waiting for the new double booster to be available that would address both of them….and it was announced late last week that it was available along with the flu vaccine that will address the bad flu they have been fighting in the southern hemisphere…so yesterday, I scheduled an appointment at Meijers to get both of them…and got that done this morning at 9:30…not a lot of side effects from either of them other than my shoulder is a little sore…about like it was when I got the last booster in March and not nearly as bad as the original vaccine hurt when it went all the way down my arm and into my left hand….so we’ll see how it goes for the rest of the day….it does feel good to get that behind me and I’ll continue to do whatever it takes to not get that damn disease…
