Well…it’s 1:30 in the afternoon and it’s still raining and we sure needed that…but that means I’m running out of time to get on the bike before the race comes on at 3:30 since riding takes a little over an hour per ride…so, maybe I should just take the day off? The last time off was after the last biopsy a month ago so my legs could probably use the rest…and it’s only in the 50′s out here and the weather channel says it’s going to keep raining until almost 7 pm so I guess I’ll just suck it up and clean instead…but that means I have to keep the calories down around 500 for the day…so that was a small chicken breast and three spoonfuls of potato salad…haven’t been sleeping too well and feel pretty worn out today…probably should try to take a nap this afternoon I’m that tired…oh, well…need to check on the rain and see if riding is possible…more later…

June 11th
Well…it’s raining out here for the first time in almost two months but I’m sure it’s not going to revive my lawn…but it’s going to keep raining for another hour or so and that will keep me off the bike for a while…I can use the rest…up at 6:23 this morning and I lost an earplug overnight and can’t find it…weird…I have muscle in my right arm that is twitching today and it has been doing that off and on for a couple of weeks now….I think it may be that I really didn’t eat enough for the past few days…under a thousand calories for days and that’s not sustainable…didn’t get anything done yesterday so I need to clean today…don’t have to cook today with doing the chicken yesterday but I’m not sure what the second meal will be…maybe some of the rotisserie chicken slices in a sandwich? I do have potato salad to use and some asparagus but nothing appeals to me right now….still can’t taste much and that makes it harder to fuel up…not much to do today…just going to sit here and have coffee and watch LeMans for a bit as I read the news and look for a topic for later today….more later…
Let’s remember this…
Well…was just thinking about all of the repubs that have come out to protect the idiot trump from the consequences of his criminal behavior…and it dawned on me that Jack Smith has the January 6th investigation still going on…and that should scare the hell out of the 34 repub members of congress who Mark Meadows texted to coordinate the attack on January 6th….and the loudest of them Paul Gosar was in the middle of it…and mccarthy, and jordan…and I’m pretty sure Smith is going to charge whoever was involved in it…how about the 130 house repubs who tried to block the certifying of the election? I say charge them all with interfering with a function of government which is a felony…and then we need to keep the presidency so none of them can be pardoned…this is going to be an interesting thing to watch…tick tock…and remember, Meadows is cooperating with the investigations…geez…
This is nuts…
Well…if you didn’t think medical charges are nuts, listen to this….after having the second biopsy, I saw the billing to the insurance company and it was almost 11,000 dollars…for an hour of the doctor’s time…and I had to pay a copay on it for 225 bucks…so now I’m over 1K out of pocket since this whole ordeal started…I can only guess what the surgery is going to cost…I’m betting close to 200 grand…and if I had normal Medicare, I’d be out 40 grand instead of the 5 grand my out of pocket is going to be…man, I’m not going be able to afford getting sick again…
June 10th
Well…damn, up at 6:06 this morning and it is one of those days where you know there is no point of trying to sleep more…but I am so damn worn out that I really could use more sleep…didn’t get much done yesterday but the rides and I’m not sure what the heck I did all day to completely waste a day…I do need to grill some chicken today or I won’t have any meals…I forgot that I bought some asparagus so I think I’ll put some of that on the grill with the chicken…or maybe I’ll steam it…we’ll see…the 24 hours of LeMans is on today so that will be running in the background all day…and will probably watch some of it…watched the news for a while yesterday for the first time in a year but that won’t happen again til Tuesday…and you know the reason for that….I may be off the bike tomorrow if it rains for the first time in 56 days but I’m not holding my breath….it’s only 54 out there right now so I’ll have to dress for that when I get on the bike in a bit…it’s before 7 so I have time to sit and have more coffee before I do….not much to do today…going to be another day of vegging and cleaning for me…I did get the kitchen sinks cleaned yesterday and I should do the bathroom today but we’ll see….not sure if I’m going to grill the chicken for lunch or dinner…not sure of anything right now but that I need more coffee…more later…
37 counts…
Well…I was wrong in the last one that the idiot trump was charged with 7 felonies in the just released indictment…the reality is he was charged with 37 felony counts in this new indictment…so he is under 71 felony charges right now including the 34 in NYC….and there isn’t any way he beats them all…even if he is convicted on one count, he’s going to jail for at least 5 years and there is the possibility he spends the rest of his life in jail…and in Florida they have what is called the “rocket docket” that moves court cases along really quickly so this case could be the first one he goes on trial for…and his top aide was just indicted for many of the same charges just today so things are finally happening…and with how shitty he takes care himself, I’ll bet health problems get him before jail…a stroke or heart attack would do it…oh, and two of his lawyers quit today so who the heck is going to represent him with how well it’s known he’s damn impossible as a client…poor baby…geez…
Finally…
Well…commence the dancing in the streets! The idiot trump was indicted on 7 felony counts in the stolen documents case yesterday…and these carry a total sentence of a hundred years in prison and should be a slam dunk for conviction since idiot boy already admitted to all of them as tried to bluster his way out of these serious charges…it is such a relief to see that the justice system still kind of works…there is no way the idiot is going to avoid prison just from these charges and there are more coming from the other jack Smith investigation into January 6th and idiot boy’s role in that…and then we have the Georgia investigation…oh, and remember the 34 felony counts for business fraud that he was charged with in NYC…I am so damn happy that this asshole who did untold damage to the US is going to get what’s coming to him…for the first time in his criminal life…geez…
June 9th
Well…woke up at 5:43 this morning and realized that I hadn’t set up the coffee maker…doing that before 6 is a lot of work…but I was able to climb back in bed and sleep until 6:40 so I’ll consider that a win…still have pain in my ribs on my right side in back that I’ve had for a few days now and I can’t figure out how I hurt it…oh, well…it’s only 48 out here fight now so the bike rides will wait a while but this looks like the last really cold night for a while….it is such a luxury to be able to crawl back into my warm bed and not have to do anything I don’t want to do….but I guess I worked my whole life to get to this point and none of it was given to me….got a few things done yesterday and it is nice to have a clean car and bike and I even lubed the bike while I was grilling the chicken yesterday….but I don’t have to cook today…I do have to plan what to get out of the freezer for the weekend and I think it will be some of the baby back ribs and part of the 11 pounds of chicken I got Wed….the grill is going to get a work out over the next few days and it is so cool to have one again…and it didn’t flare even with doing chicken thighs yesterday and I’ve never had a grill that would do that…not much to do today…I do have to get cleaning today or maybe that will wait till it rains…yeah, that made me laugh…over 50 days with no rain out here and I don’t think it’s ever going to rain again….more later…
I’m shocked…
Well…the SC just made a ruling that I thought I’d never see again in my lifetime….with the court allowing the repubs to cheat in drawing voting districts across the country, it was widely expected they would do the same in a case on gerrymandering in Alabama…but damn, I’m shocked that they ruled that the districts there have to be redrawn…it was a close 5-4 ruling but Roberts and Kavanaugh joined the real jurists to make the right decision…what the repubs did in Alabama was to take a majority black district and redrew it to eliminate that seat leaving the 25% of the population there with only one minority rep and making sure the new seat could only be won by a white repub…and I guess in this one instance, that was just too much cheating for the court…and with this ruling, a case in Mississippi that was on hold pending a decision will be redrawn along with districts in a couple of other states that should make taking back the house a bit easier in 24….I am still sitting here shocked…geez…
June 8th
Well…how the heck is it 48 degrees in June? That means I’m going to have to wait to ride for a while because I’m not going to put the full thermasuit on…talked to my oldest brother for over an hour last night…he was checking in on me about the prostate cancer and we just talked about lots of things…that was cool….now the temp has gone down to 47 on my little weather widget and it has added “air poor”…just checked on the air quality from the Canadian fires and it says to stay inside and not do anything strenuous outside today…ha, ha…yeah, like that is going to happen…i can still smell the fires out here and that can’t be good…didn’t get a lot done but grill yesterday and today looks a lot the same….need to continue to clean and I need to make potato salad since I did the ingredients yesterday and then I’ll have a side for the next few days…thawing some chicken thighs to cook on the grill and I’m going to look for a rub for them…might even have some in the spice cabinet to use so I won’t have to make any….not much to do today…woke up at 6:13 and thought I slept in but got out of bed at 6:36….even with staying up til 11 last night…oh, well…more later…
