Well…just walked out on the porch to get the mail and in it was a pleasant surprise…got a check from my insurance company for 244 bucks for some sort of a refund to my premiums…I have both my car and house insurance with the same company so I’m not sure what account it’s for but I’ll take it…it would be nice to know but I don’t need to know….and I really don’t think I’ll call my agent to find out…it’s just a piece information that is not necessary and I don’t feel like doing any work to get it…

Racism is alive and well in Tennesee..
Well…if you truly don’t believe the repubs are racist fascists, just look what happened in Tennessee yesterday…when three dem house members stood up with students to protest the repubs inaction on gun violence, the repubs in control there went full fascist and voted to expel the three…but only two of them were actually expelled…can you guess what color the two were? Yeah, you guessed it…both of expelled members were black and the one who was not expelled but did exactly what the others did but her skin is white so she gets a pass…and she even drew attention to that fact when asked about it…essentially saying that her colleagues are just a bunch of racists. this is how fascism starts in this country and you can see this everywhere the repubs are in charge…attacking voting rights and even throwing elected dems out of office as desantis has done in Florida to go along with the attacks on democracy in Tennessee…we need to vote these assholes out everywhere across this country…we did it here in Michigan and it feels damn good to have dems running the show here…it feels like normalcy and every dem should have it…geez…
April 7th
Well…damn, I’m even more sore this morning and I hurt everywhere…even have a headache and that is not normal at all…I need to get moving and I’m not sure how that is going to work…it’s April and it’s only 29 degrees out there and that sucks…I am so tired of the cold and it gets worse as I get older…okay, is this the starting of a little bout of depression? Sure feels like it….but I’ll have to see how it plays out…I really should get on the bike now but that is going to wait for a while so I can get some coffee in me…at least the sun is shining but it’s not warming things up so what’s the point? Didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to get some yard work done today but that is going to be a chore with how sore I am….but I think moving around will help with that…at least I hope it will…I did try to eat more yesterday but I was still under 1,000 calories and I wonder if that is contributing to how I feel? Eating has gotten pretty hard to do as I try to keep losing weight…I do want to check the car to see how much coolant I lost on the run out to Ada the other day…pretty sure most of the air in the system should be gone and I’ll have to fill the expansion tank….not much to do today…need to get on the bike by 8:30 and that gives me 23 minutes to veg and have more coffee…going to try to get outside for a ride later but I don’t feel like doing anything right now….more later…
Took the day off…
Well…after the two rides today, I decided to take the day off since I hurt so much and was exhausted…even laid down on the couch to try to take a nap after I almost fell asleep writing the second post today…and I had two meals…or two half meals today since I know that is part of being exhausted with only doing one light meal a day for the past 5 days…my hands really hurt so I didn’t go out and start working on the lawn…I will get out to rake up the leaves tomorrow and get the branches bundled up to go out with the trash on Tuesday…I could even wait til Monday when it is going to be in the 60′s but I do need to do things over the weekend along with riding twice a day outdoors….so tomorrow will be better and I’ll get some work done…I do have lots of seeds up downstairs and should be able to plant in a couple of weeks….
Clarence Thomas has to go…
Well…with the latest revelations of unethical conduct by Clarence Thomas, the only solution is for him to go…just today reports all over the news say the Thomas has been taking what are in effect bribes from big repub donors in the form of travel holidays all over the world and not reporting them as he is required to by law. this is in addition to the bribes that his wife has been taking ever since Thomas was put on the bench by a repub president…and he still will not recuse himself from cases that involve these big repub donors that come in front of the SC…this type of behavior shows that there needs to be reform of the court and force them to follow the rules that every other judge has to follow…and there needs to be an easier way to remove corrupt judges from the court….instead of the 2/3 majority of the senate that will never happen….this kind of crap has to end or the entire justice system will fail….geez…
April 6th
Well…damn, I hurt this morning…and it’s darn near everything that does…my back and hands are stiff and it is going to take some time to loosen them up today….had a good day yesterday and the car survived it so that’s one less thing to worry about…I think today is going to be a recovery day but I am going to get on the indoor bike …it’s too cold to ride outside today so I’ll try to do two indoors to keep the guilts away….it’s only 35 outside and I am so tired of the cold but it’s going to warm up starting tomorrow so I have that to look forward to…man, my brain is just not working right now and the coffee is just getting it started so I’m going to stay in slow mode for a bit…I do have to start looking for meals after I finish up the ham today and I may just use the last can of potatoes to fry up but might make some oven fries instead…didn’t have much to eat yesterday other than a ham sandwich on Italian bread so I am going to toast some of the Italian this morning with peanut butter and coffee…not much to do today…just going to ease into it and try to loosen everything up…it’s a little weird to hurt in places that are new and I hope I don’t have to hurt everything again…damn, I’m old….more later…
The big loser keeps losing…
Well…this has not been a good week for the big loser trump…after being arraigned on 34 felony counts yesterday, today we get word that his VP pence has decided to not appeal the ruling that says he has to testify to the grand jury in the January 6th investigation that Jack Smith is running…and that follows the ruling the other day that all of the inner circle of criminals that surrounded the idiot have to testify, too…no executive privilege so that means that mark meadows has to testify and he was in the middle of all of the conspiracy to overthrow the election…so the big loser keeps losing and this is getting pretty darn serious…I think we can look for at least another 30 charges from this probe and then we still have the theft of documents charges to come…so once idiot boy goes to prison, he’s never getting out….
100 miles…no problem…
Well…just got back from the long run out to Ada to shoot pool and had a lot of fun…the car made it with no problems and I even was able to put the top down on the way back and that always makes traveling more fun…but the wind was blowing the car all over the road on the way back and it’s howling out here right now…so much so I can hear it over the Man U match that is on right now…I want to check on the hose clamps that hold the ends of the hose that I replace just to make sure they are still tight…but right now, I am just going to watch some soccer and try to find a topic to write about….more later…
April 5th
Well…damn, up at 5 again and out of bed at 6 and I am worn out today…but, I haven’t had any coffee yet so that may be part of it…when it gets warmer, I’m going to have to get the hose out to wash all of the coolant off the engine compartment of the car…it went everywhere with the hose failing yesterday and I really do hate the smell of coolant…I think I have the car fixed but my hands are pretty damaged with burn and cuts on them from the work yesterday…I’m getting too old for this crap…my back is sore from leaning in to work on the hose and I think I’ll need to take something for it before I run out to Ada….didn’t get anything done yesterday but work on the car and today will be the same with shooting pool…it usually takes a few days to get the air out of the cooling system so I’m going to put a gallon of pre mix in the trunk again and hope for the best….think I’ll put the heating pad on my back for the second cup of coffee…not much to do today…just the grocery run and then out for pool and I hope the car survives it…more later….
34 counts of fraud…
Well…the day finally came where idiot boy was arrested and arraigned on 34 felony counts of business fraud by falsifying records to hide payments to two women before the 2016 election…and this fraud is part of what got him “elected”…and this is not even the most serious charges that are coming…after Jack Smith gets done with him he is going to be indicted again and charged with all kinds of crimes about January 6th and his stealing of classified documents…so this 34 counts is just a placeholder for me…the big stuff is coming and his lawyers won’t be able to laugh it off as they did today…tick tock….geez…
