Well…damn, it’s raining out there so I guess today is going to be my day off this week…up at 5 and out of bed before 7 since I was thinking that I was going to have to get on the bike by 7:30 to get two rides in by 10 when Man U plays…had a pretty crappy day with having to make 3 noise calls with the assholes to the north going after it again yesterday…and I am going to keep calling until they do something about it…and that colored my whole day and slid me into depression at the end of the day…pretty worn out today and sore everywhere again and I haven’t done anything to cause that…I think it’s sleep pain again and I don’t know what I can do about it…just got a “temps plummet” notification on my lower banner and I think we’re going from highs in the upper 70′s to mid 60′s and I’m okay with that…I’m giving up on the garden this year since I’m losing all of the tomatoes and peppers to fungus even though I treated them and I am just worn out trying to get it going…not much to do today…don’t have to cook with the leftovers in the fridge and the rain will keep me off the bike for a while…Man U plays at 10 and I think I’ll just sit here til then…more later…

CNN makes it worse…
Well…after the idiot trump debacle Wed night and the blowback that the network is getting for hand picking an audience of trump lovers and giving idiot boy and hour to spew his lies and hate, CNN makes it even worse with trotting some of their anchors out to defend the company’s choice of giving the idiot all that free time…and the worst was Anderson Cooper who blamed it all on the audience for not “getting” what CNN was going for by giving trump free air time…the same damn mistake that they have made since the start…trying to make money off the idiot by pushing every damn stupid thing he has said or done on a continuous loop…and no Anderson, the tv audience didn’t “learn” anything new from that hour of shit..after all they got the same tired bullshit the idiot boy trots out every time…all the lies and hate that he loves to dish out…and you should have learned by now there is no good reason to ever have the idiot on again…the ratings even sucked so you probably lost money for doing it…nice job! Geez…
May 12th
Well..it was supposed to be warm enough to go out on the bike in a t-shirt this morning but it’s only 53 out there and that’s no where near it…and there is rain coming in so I need to gulp the coffee and get out of here in the next 23 minutes to be able to get a ride in before the rain gets here…or do I just take it easy and relax for a change? Ha, that made me laugh…that’s not going to happen…I almost made it three days in a row of getting out of bed at 6:23 but didn’t get there…up at 6;07 today and I’m feeling pretty beat up with the normal pains and now adding sunburn on top of it…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to get the chicken thighs seasoned early so I can cook them today…not sure what I’m making with them but I have too much food in the fridge right now…I have a temps plummet warning on my lower banner right now and I am so tired of the cold…going to be 80 today and then down to 61 and that sucks…at least it’s not going to freeze…I think I have fungus in the garden sine the leaves on some of the tomatoes and beans are turning white so I treated them with the antifungal that I bought last year….not much to do today…just need to get on the bike before 7 to beat the rain and then I’m going to cook for lunch…not sure why since I can’t taste anything anymore…but I do need fuel…more later…
CNN used to be a news organization…
Well…after the debacle with CNN giving the idiot trump an hour to continue to lie and lie, with a hopped up MAGA audience who cheered sexual assault we now can say that CNN is no longer a news organization at all…it is just fox news lite and it is being ruined by the right wing asshole who bought it…just like they all do…like musk did with twitter and bezos did with WAPO, chris licht is followin the murdoch model that he used to ruin the WSJ and how the editors at the NYT are doing…making the news instead of reporting it…and that exactly what CNN’s new owner crowed to his staff after trump got done attacking and lying all night…the they “make the news”…and to me that makes it all opinion, not news…can we now start taxing the billionaires before they ruin anything else? geez…
Going to the beach…
Well…just a short one to say I’ll be late getting to a political one today…I’m going to the beach here in a minute to get my first sun of the year…it’s already 71 and it’s only 11:30…just need to have some lunch and load up the cooler….first time of the year…
May 11th
Well…I wonder when I started to consider getting out of bed at 6:37 sleeping in? I really did think that it was later than that but I knew that I was up and there was no point in trying to sleep more…had an okay day yesterday and got a few things done but today is going to be a little easier with not having to cook after making the lasagna yesterday…I do have to get out and put the weed and feed on the lawn here in a few minutes but I need the coffee to work first…and I need it to warm up before I can get on the bike…it’s only 46 right now and I need it to be 52 or so….man, I’m worn out today….and I am sitting here trying to get moving but I feel like I’m old…I am but damn, not this old….I do need to make up some rub for some chicken thighs I’m going to make in the air fryer but that won’t be til tomorrow…going to try to make some potato wedges at the same time with the spices I have….but that would mean having two meals and I’m not sure I can do that….and I can’t taste anything so what’s the point….sure hope that it’s the mouth infection that’s doing that…I have a hard enough time eating the calories to support the bike rides…not much to do today…just the yard work and the rides…feeling pretty depressed this morning and I hope it passes as I get moving….more later….
Every day is busy now, I guess…
Well…darn, it appears that every day is a busy day now…worked on stuff all day and I am just now getting done after dinner…did the grocery runs and got lots of stuff from DD including boneless skinless chicken thighs for 1.60 a pound so I bought 5 lbs to fill the freezer…got a 20 oz package of black forest ham for 3 bucks and a pound of summer sausage for 1.99…so I have plenty of food to go with the lasagna I made for dinner…after the run, I got on the bike for two rides that were pretty good with very little wind today and being able to go out in just a t-short and shorts…then I got the laundry done and planted all of the rest of the veggie seeds next to the house in the last part of open dirt I have…still need to finish up planting the garden but I’m going to wait a while for that….going to mix some tomatoes, beans and peppers in with the flowers along the back of the house…I’m not sure what it going on with the garden but the tomatoes I planted earlier this week are starting to die so I may have a fungus or something so I do need back that up with planting somewhere else…I even used potting soil to put the tomatoes in with so I have no clue….need to have the grass wet when I put the weed and feed on so I’ll do that in the morning before the grass dries out….so it will be another busy one tomorrow…of course…
George Santos is charged…
Well…I think you may remember me talking about the fraud George Santos, the repub who was elected in New York despite lying about everything…his background, experience, etc…and the repubs elected him anyway? Today, the compulsive liar was arrested on 13 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds, and lying to congress…just your typical repub these days…there was something fishy about this guy from the start when the press learned that he has used multiple names and was wanted in Brazil for another fraud and theft of credit cards…but that didn’t matter to repubs at all, including kevin mccarthy who should never have allowed him to be seated…but he needed this criminal to get the majority and become speaker so he did nothing about it…so, how long do you think it will be before ole kevvie does anything now? Ha, ha…yeah…never…geez…
May 10th
Well…running a little late today with not getting out of bed til after 7 and I am worn out…had to make another noise call last night and I am getting damn tired of it…two frickin years of this crap…I think the worst people in the world live here….I decided on a plan for the leftover plants in the cups last night along with the leftover seeds, and I’m going to plant them all in the bare corner at the back of the house…every flower and veg seed that I have in the packets…that may be fun to see what comes up if anything does…but I need to get the weed and feed on the lawn first…not sure how much energy I have to do another work day like yesterday but I do know I need to get the two rides in today first…and my credit card bill didn’t come so I have to stop at the bank this morning to pay that…DD has boneless, skinless chicken thighs on sale for 1.60 a pound so I’m going to head over there later to pick up 5 pounds for 8 bucks…need to find some recipes to use them…I wonder if there is a chicken/sausage recipe that I can use? Not much to do today…need to get going for the grocery run here in a few minutes but sure don’t feel like it right now….I’m getting old…more later…
Lots more work today…
Well…man, it’s been another busy day today with getting the two rides in, making lunch, then edging all the sidewalks, and mowing the lawn…then I jumped in the car to hit Menards for a big bag of weed and feed since I have too many weeds to use the liquid stuff…and it needs food, too with how sandy the soil is up here…even got some beans and peppers planted and moved the rest of the cups outside so I could turn the light off…finally…I have so many extra plants that I am going plant some tomatoes in with the flowers along the back of the house since the garden is not big enough for them….but, I’m leaving them in the cups until they get bigger…maybe a couple of weeks…if everything lives, the garden is going to be pretty crowded this year…
