Well..it looks like the crap is about to hit the fan since a judge in Georgia ruled that parts of the GJ’s investigation can be released to the public…and I think Fani Willis gets the charging recomendations with this release so if I’m one of trump’s cronies that testified and had anything to do with trying to “find” 12,000 votes, I’d be making a run for it right now…I feel pretty confident that there will be charges from this investigation since the decision on indictments have been “imminent” for a couple of weeks and how can there not be when idiot boy is on tape committing the crime? Yeah, I know, we have all been predicting that the idiot is going to be charged for years now but I have hope that this is going to be the time it is going to happen…fingers crossed…

February 13th
Well…running a little late today with not getting out of bed until after 7…and I’m feeling quite worn out this morning with only eating a bowl of chili and a small slider burger and doing 15 miles outside on the bike…it looks like I’ll get an outdoor ride in again today and tomorrow but then back downstairs with the temps falling back into the 30′s for the rest of the week…but it’s still going to be above freezing so I guess that’s good…maybe no snow for the rest of the winter? Didn’t get anything done yesterday but get my pre doctor’s appointment check in done and that had a 5 page questionaire that I had to fill out and I realized that I don’t have any symptoms of prostate disease at all…and, at my age, that’s a good thing….I do have to clean a bit today and get some meals planned…have to look in the freezer to see what is in there…have had a lot of burger lately so I need some chicken or maybe some pasta….but not til tomorrow since I have enough burger and chili for today…I can’t believe I get 6 burgers out of a pound…not much to do today…just going to take it easy for a while and then go down for a ride just in case I can’t get outside today….the medical stuff starts tomorrow so no cocktails tonight and I go into survival mode until the middle of March….oh, well….more later…
A pretty good day…so far…
Well…have had a pretty good day so far with having fresh coffee, Man U winning, and getting an outdoor ride in on a Sunday when I normally take the day off…and I saw a pair of Bald Eagles flying along the shoreline of Muskegon Lake when I was going by…probably wouldn’t have noticed them but a family was standing on the trail trying to get a video so I wanted to see what the were looking at and looked up…pretty cool to see….now I’m just going to take it easy for the rest of the day and maybe watch the super bowl later….
February 12th
Well…that was probably a normal night for me with getting up at 5:08 and then out of bed before 6:30 to make a run out to get the paper…slept okay last night but I’m not as sore as I should be with doing 23 miles yesterday…not going to do two rides today but I am going to try to get out to do an outdoor ride today instead of taking the day off like I planned…but I won’t be getting out til after Man U plays at 9 so I have time to just relax a bit…I did make chili yesterday but probably shouldn’t have use the big can of crushed tomatoes…tastes way to much like tomato…I did go out and find the recipe that my daughter sent me years ago and I’ll go back to that one for the next batch….didn’t get much done yesterday but the bike rides and today will be the same…have leftovers to eat so I don’t have to cook and that’s good since I don’t feel like doing much right now…all of the snow is gone already out here except for some drifts out at the beach and it looks like we have a week or so before there is any in the forecast and I’ll take that…not much to do today…just going to ease into it and have some more coffee before I do anything….more later…
An effect of electric cars…
Well…with reading an article today about the effect that the adoption of electric cars is going to have, it reminded me that I had this same idea a couple of years back so I thought I’d talk about it a bit….in this article, the author posits that at the current pace of adoption where 17% of the cars in California are already electrics, there will be 50% less gas stations for the rest of us that will probably still have ICE cars…and the possibility of only having 1-2 stations in a town the size of Muskegon…right now, gas stations don’t make any money on gas but on the snacks and other stuff they sell…without people coming in for gas, though, they won’t have enough traffic to stay in business…so there is going to be huge disruptions in business related to ICE cars as less and less of them are on the road…I wonder if I’ll see a ban on them in my lifetime…could be…
Got an outdoor ride in..
Well…was just sitting here earlier with the sun pouring in my windows so I thought I’d check the temp outside to see if it was warm enough to ride…it was but the wind was blowing 13-20mph but I thought I’d give it try anyway….so I dragged a bike up from downstairs, suited up, and took the normal 15 mile ride to go with the 8 miles I did downstairs this morning…it was nice to get out to see people and I only had to walk the bike about a hundred yards through the sand drifts out by the beach…most of the ice is gone from Muskegon Lake and there is only about 20 yards of it along the edge of Lake Michigan and no big piles like it used to do….my back is going to hurt later but it was totally worth it…finally had some fun riding and not torture….and it looks like I can get outside the next three days so I may try to do a double outside…or maybe just do what I did today with an indoor and an outdoor ride…who knows?
February 11th
Well…running about on time today with waking up at 5:04 and then out of bed at 7:15 after lying there for a few minutes looking at the moon through my bedroom window…slept okay last nigh but my allergies are getting bad again and I can’t figure that out…there is nothing blooming yet but I can’t breathe through my nose at all this morning and that sucks…I did get a few things done yesterday and it just struck me that when I was a kid February was one of the coldest months of the year with frequent temps below zero but the rest of the month looks like it’s going to be above freezing so maybe winter is ending early this year? Hope so…want to get outdoors on the bike soon…I will be downstairs on the bike this morning but that is going to wait a bit so I can have coffee and read some news….I do have to rearrange the garage so I can have a space to put he bike in after getting the grill….getting to the limit of space in there so I can’t put anything else in it…not much to do today…going to make a pot of chili later but I’m not sure if that will be for lunch or dinner…we’ll see….more later…
A better day…
Well..after getting better sleep last night, I got off my butt today and got some things done…got a bike ride in and then took the car out to hand wash it at the car wash and try to get some salt off it….then back here for another ride, and then made an olive burger for lunch and did a little more cleaning and I now have dinner in the oven which is going to be two chicken legs and a roast potato…I’m basically done for the day other than doing the dishes and watching some tv later…not sure what that is going to be yet but I think “Battlebots” will be first and then down to second an third tier stuff for the rest of the night…used up all of good stuff last night with “1923″ and “The Last of US” so maybe I’ll go out to netflix ans see if there is something out there before I cancel it….
This is nuts…
Well…if you wanted to know how crazy the repubs have gotten in Missouri, just listen to this one…just yesterday they voted down and amendment to a bill in the repub controlled legislature that would have prevented children from open carrying firearms…so now I guess it’s legal there for toddlers to carry AR-15′s…can you imagine the carnage that would happen if you allow hormonal teenagers to carry around hand guns or semi automatic rifles? This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard…don’t they remember what it was like to be a teenager? The fights? Now let’s add a deadly weapon into that mix…red states really are become terrible places to live and I can see a mass exodus out of them as they continue to go down the crazy path….geez…
February 10th
Well…slept through til 5:04 this morning and was able to go back to sleep til almost 7 so I’ll consider that a win…but I still feel pretty worn out today so the bike will wait til around 9 or so…just started the first cup of coffee so it will take a while to work this morning…if it does, I may get on the bike by 8 so I can wash the car today….need to look outside to see if the precip last night was rain or snow since the little weather widget on the banner is saying wintry mix but it is 35 out there…nope it just changed to 33 so it could be snow…don’t even feel like getting up to look out the window and my back hurts for some reason today even without doing anything yesterday…..I did have a meal and a half yesterday but they were small ones and today will be the same…going to make chili tomorrow and then start to plan what has to come out of the freezer…froze most of the burger I got at aldis this week but I did keep a couple of pounds out since I haven’t had any beef in a few months….not much to do today….just going to ease into it and have coffee here for a bit before I head down for the first ride…it’s going to be a struggle to do two today but I am going to try….more later…
