Well…I know there are multitudes of people that are going on and on about Joe Biden’s age and some of them are still lying their asses off that he is senile…if what he has done in his term is senile, we need a lot more senile in our presidents…look, the skill that Joe shows every day is something to be seen…after the attack by Hamas on Israel, everyone said that Biden should stay out of it but he just couldn’t…and guess what? Humanitarian aid is getting into Gaza because Joe went to Israel and twisted a few arms to get Bibi to let the materiel through…do you really think the oaf trump could or would be able to do that? Not in a million years…he wouldn’t even care that people are dying in Gaza…they are “brown” after all and they have no worth to the idiot…so Joe re-energized NATO, pushed hard for aid to Ukraine that is destroying Russia’s army without one American boot on the ground, and has raised the respect that the world has for the US by being the tough, good guy that he is…and I sure want him for another term….no drama…

October 18th
Well…got up at 6:30 this morning and that is getting to be the new normal and I don’t mind that…slept okay and I am a little confused that my right shoulder doesn’t hurt after abusing it yesterday…it’s a little stiff but not really any pain…still feeling the cold that I’ve had for two weeks now and I am getting damn tired of it…still coughing and feel stuffed up but part of it could be allergies since the pollen count is pretty high…and I really can’t figure that out since nothing is blooming right now….oh, well…going to get on the grocery run here in an hour or so and I wonder if I should get boneless skinless chicken thighs at 8 bucks for 5 pounds or a pork shoulder for 1.49 a pound? I’m thinking pork shoulder and cooking it on the grill using it as an oven…or I could do it in the instant pot and then I could make gravy to pour over some potatoes….hmmm….I do have to mow the lawn today and get two rides in since I have gained too much weight and need to stop that right now…and I am going to do laundry today to keep the loads a little smaller so the dryer will work better…okay, I need more coffee and to go over to get the morning post out on Mastodon…more later…
Got some work done…
Well…it was so darn cold this morning at 38 degrees when I got up that there was no way I was getting on the bike til around noon so I needed something to do until then so I got the string trimmer out and did the final trimming before winter and then changed to the edger head and edged all of my sidewalks…something I should do more often to make it easier to do…I am waiting for my right shoulder to start to really scream in pain but that will probably be tomorrow although I can feel some tightness in it already…so, I think I’ll coat it with Voltaren here in a minute to try to stay ahead of the pain…think I’m going to do the final mowing of the lawn in mulcher mode tomorrow since it’s going to rain Thurs and Fri…then I can convert it to bagging to pick up the leaves…but first thing, I’m going to do the grocery run tomorrow morning…need to get potatoes to make another batch of soup to use up the whole milk before it spoils and use up more of the celery and onions that were left after the last batch that I hope to have for lunch tomorrow..then get a couple of rides in since I only did one today…and I want to make a pizza that I’ll cook on the grill later in the week to use up some of the leftover ham….and I still need to make the chicken masala at some point…probably not til the middle of next week…right now it’s break time…
5 repubs need to grow a spine…
Well…with the debacle of a repub election for speaker of the House going into it’s third round and gym jordan still trying to bully the other repubs in the House to make him speaker, I think we need to understand that a fix for the country and for the dysfunction in the House is easy to do…we just need 5 repubs to grow a spine and vote for Hakeem Jeffries along with the 212 dems…that would make a good man speaker and leave the molester enabler to sit there and fume about it…but, we all know that won’t happen and a person who was in the middle of the plot to overthrow the government is going to be speaker of the House…that just shows you how far the repubs have fallen in their self made sinkhole of depravity…that the entire repub caucus is willing to go along with this criminal and elect him to a position where he is third in line to be president when he should be in prison…geez…
October 17th
Well…damn, that was weird…had the police banging on my door this morning looking for a missing woman…and an even weirder thing is that they know I’m the guy that calls on the loud music out here and they said they understood…a strange way to start my day…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done and it looks like I won’t be getting out on the bike anytime soon with the temp only 38 right now…I do want to run the string trimmer and edger this morning to do the fall cleanup and prep the lawn for the winter…got the fall food on it yesterday but I’m not really motivated to do anything right now since it’s still dark out there and I’m on the first cup of coffee….I did get two rides in yesterday and I’m going to try to do that again today after I get the work in…froze my butt off on the rides yesterday and had to put my long riding pants on along with double socks just to get through…it’s supposed to be as cold today so we’ll see how it goes…not much to do today…just the yard work and the rides…still have leftovers so I don’t need to cook and I have been eating too much lately anyway….have overshot the weight that I wanted to gain so now it’s time to slowly lose again….more later….
A “partial” gag order?
Well…as I’ve said before, if anyone else had attacked judges, witnesses, and prosecutors as the idiot trump has done since he was charged with 91 felonies, they would be sitting their fat asses in jail until the trial is over…and today, even though the judge has imposed a “partial” gag order on the idiot, it is so narrow that it’s not going to do one bit of good to keep him from continuing to tank his trials by his antics…so why do it at all? To make it look like the judge is tough or to try to say that no one is above the law? That’s laughable since idiot boy has gotten away with breaking every damn law in the country and he’s still running around free…and now he is free to do what no other defendant in history has been able to do without any fear of penalty…try to screw up the legal system so much that they just let him go…he should be rotting in jail right now…geez…
October 16th
Well…man, I thought I was getting better but I sure don’t feel like it right now…yeah, I know, I’m getting old and feeling crappy comes with it but that doesn’t make it any better…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done but the bike rides so I need to do better today…going out to Menards in a while to get the fall lawn food and want to get it on the lawn before it rains Wed….and I need to do that before more leaves fall…it’s only 46 out there so I won’t be able to ride until the aft…not sure if I’ll do two rides or one today but I know it should be two to start getting rid of the extra fat I’ve put on…don’t need to cook again today with leftover soup, chicken, and ham in the fridge and I need to plan food for later in the week…chicken masala? Yep, I have the ingredients for it so I’ll make it this week along with another batch of potato soup…I do need to get back to doing the rehab exercises today since I can feel that I need it….going to look for a set of weight exercises that I can do with the hand weights my daughter left me until I can afford a new weight machine…not much to do today…just the run out to menards and then putting food on the lawn…I did have an infestation of box elder bugs on the back of the house yesterday that I had to deal with…I hate killing things but they were getting in the house and I just don’t like bugs in here….more later…
Think I’m starting to feel better…
Well…had another successful foray to the library today to get a 5 buck bag of books…got another 15 books to go with the 15 I got Friday so I had to clear out a shelf on the bookcase for them….and lots of them are ones from authors I like so I know I’ll like a lot of them…there will be a lot of reading this winter and I’m looking forward to that…I think I’m starting to feel better from the cold…haven’t coughed as much today but I still have some lung problems that revealed themselves on the second ride…yep, two rides today and that made me feel good…and the eye problems I’ve had for a couple of weeks is starting to get better since I can read the graphics on the tv again…much less blurry than they have been and I hope that improvement continues…my hips were in crazy pain on the bike today, though, and I’m hoping it’s the last gasp of being sick…it could still have been reaction to the vaccines since it’s only been 4 days since I got them last Wed…yeah, I’m pretty impatient with my health….
Good for Poland…
Well…in a widely watched election today, the polish right wingers were dealt a loss when they lost their majority in the Parliament there and that puts all the right wing bullshit like decimating the judiciary and gutting voting rights off the table and they will now have to compromise with the left in the country since they only have about 5% less of the seats in the legislature…it even appears that there could be a coalition of the progressives that would give them control of the government for the first time in almost 10 years….so, good on ya Poland…you recognized that you were about an inch away of being another Turkey run by a strong man and in danger of losing your democracy for who knows how long…and this means that the asshole putin kisser who is the president will not be able to abandon Ukraine like he wants…too bad, idiot, the people have spoken….geez…
October 15th
Well…damn, I never want to wake up at 5:10 again unless it’s sleeping in from an alarm for 3:10…I am so damn tired and still hurt like crazy and all I want to do is go back to bed…I can’t remember this type of pain other than from the flu I had a few years back…it’s that ache that you can’t do anything about…no movement, no stretching, no nothing and now I guess it’s back to the ibuprofen….I finally did get on the bike yesterday for one ride and I’m hoping to get out for one today after it warms up…I was so damn cold and wet on the bike yesterday that I had the heating pad on me all night just to stop shaking…I do need to get moving today by 10 so I can head to the library for more books if there are any left over…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same with the Lions playing and a race on later…and I don’t have to cook today with leftovers in the fridge so it can be an easy one if I decide to let it….going to clean a bit later but right now I need more coffee to get me jump started….more later…
