Poor Lindsey…

Well…finally, the SC today told Lindsey Graham that he has to testify to the grand jury that is investigating the attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia…and it wasn’t just the idiot trump doing it..ole lindsey called the SoS there, too, and asked if they could “look at” certain absentee ballots that are detrimental to trump’s election…and those certain ballots were all from a minority area of Georgia where it was almost a certainty that the majority of votes there were for Biden…so poor lindsey…you’re going to have to pay for your un-American bullshit and the sooner you and the rest of the maga assholes are gone the better…geez…

I think I did enough today….

Well…it really is nice when I feel that I did enough to keep the guilts at bay and today is one of those days….started out really early by getting on the bike downstairs by 7am and getting a good ride in…I did have to replace the earpieces on my ear buds since the rubber ones had rotted away and looked pretty shabby…so, I dug out the box for the betrons and found that there was a spare set of silicone earpieces that fit perfectly and do a better job of keeping the wind noise out of them than the rubber ones did…and I am still amazed at how long these things have lasted…going on 5 years now and I’ve never gotten more than 6 months out of any other ones…okay, back to the day….after I got the ride done and got cleaned up, I headed out to my doctors appointment that went well and I am waiting for the results of the PSA test to be sure that I’m in the clear…then, as soon as I got back here, I jumped on the bike for the second ride of the day, had lunch, then back out to work on the yard and spent 2 1/2 hours running the string trimmer and edger then cleaned all that up and finished about 2:20 or so…so, I think I did enough today and plan on taking the rest of the day off and having a couple of cocktails tonight after being good for the past week and getting my blood pressure below 130…and now I have tomorrow afternoon off after getting the work done today…yay…oh, I did hurt myself more today but it’s not my back or any parts that hurt before…it hurts on my side just under my shoulder and that is a familiar pain that I’ve had every time before when I abused those muscles doing the edging…oh, well…

57 Russian bots…

Well…when ole elon said that nothing would change on twitter after he took over, he was either stupid or lying…since he took over last Friday, I’ve had 57 Russian bots follow me when I had a total of about 8 followers who were real people before…and there is really no reason for anyone to follow me on twitter, I don’t post there very often and when I do, it something about music or riding the bike or some such nonsense that it would not interest anyone but me…but now I have over 60 followers and the funny think is the pictures they have attached to the accounts are all good looking women…kind of  a clue to the fact that they are Russian bots. So, again ole elon is doing Russia’s work for it by cutting the content moderation and the bot detectors back to the point that most of twitter is going to be bots, not anyone you want to hear from…and that will mean that Russian disinformation and lies about our elections is going to explode over the next week…basically making twitter useless…good job elon…geez…

Broke the 180 pound barrier…

Well…had a bit of good news during the doctors appointment this morning…when they weighed me, I was under 180 pounds for the first time in over 20 years…and that was with jeans and my shoes on…almost 3 1/2 pounds less than the last time and that makes me smile a bit…I’ve really been working hard at losing weight and I’m happy I’m still going the right way…only about 9 pounds more to get to my goal of 170…but, when I get there, I’ll probably move that goal to 160…going to have to buy all new clothes for the trip next year if I hit that goal…but I need them anyway….more later…

November 1st

Well…I could just say 3:11 and then 5:54 and you’d know what I was talking about and that means I need to change things up a bit…still pretty sore around my trunk but it’s not the gasping pain it was a couple of days ago…but it’s still annoying and I am going to hurt it more again today with running the string trimmer and edger to finish up the lawn work that I need to do for fall….there are more leaves to be picked up but I think I’ll wait til they are all down to do that…probably early next week…had a good day yesterday but today is going to start out  a little slow with skipping the coffee to keep my my blood pressure down for the doctor’s appointment at 9am….I still have some health problems that need to be resolved today that came from the colonoscopy last week and I sure don’t need to have this stuff hanging over me…I did buy some powerball tickets yesterday but I didn’t win but no one else did, either, so the jackpot is going to be 1.2 billion dollars for the drawing wed so I think I’ll blow some more money with the off chance I could win some bucks…damn, it’s November and I still haven’t started on the dining room and that is a little depressing…still too many other things to do and I think I’ll just have to suck it up and start next week…it won’t take more than a couple of weeks to finish it and it would feel good to have another room done….not much to do today….just the doctors appointment and then back here to do an outdoor ride…going to do an indoor one here in a few minutes since it won’t be light early enough to get out before the appointment….haven’t edged the walks in a few months so it will be some work this afternoon but it is going to be about 60 today and that will make it easier….but it is still going to hurt…oh, well…more later…
