Well…there are a lot of polls out there that say people are concerned with Joe Biden’s age and I’ve figured out why…just this weekend the NYT had 5 front page articles that were selling the meme that Joe’s too old, that he is not as sharp as he used to be, and that he is havng memory problems…and every other major newspaper (all controlled by repubs) had at least one front page story about their “concern” with Joe’s age so you’d expect people would think his age is a real problem…but it’s not…yes he does look old but so what? I look old, too, but looks aren’t everything…when was the last time you saw a story about the obese, McDonalds eating, sedentary, and almost as ole idiot trump? 3 years younger than Biden and people who worked for the idiot are all saying the idiot has lost a lot of his “sharpness”, slurs his words and can’t remember anything…so where are the articles of “concern” about idiot boy? This is the problem with today’s media…it is either controlled by right wing billionaires or bothsiderism so strong that the 91 felony count rapist is is equated with Joe Biden’s familiar gaffes that he has done his entire life…and I am just sick of it…geez…

February 11th
Well…this is weird…my creaky old laptop is working like it should today and that’s not normal…it usually takes forever to get it started in the morning but not today…cool…I really do need a day off of everything…but, will I take it? Of course not…have 26 minutes before I have to get on the bike to get three rides in before Man U plays at 11:30…just so damn tired…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same since I am not motivated at all and part of that may be only eating one meal a day for the past two days…have been under 700 calories for the past two days and I really don’t think that’s enough…I did splurge and buy some cheddar/horseradish cheese spread for the game today but I’m so concerned with the calories in it that I’m not sure if I’ll eat it or not…have celery and carrots in the fridge so maybe I’ll cut them up instead…man, I do think I’ve got an eating disorder….at least I’m not in pain today…at least not now…I wonder if I can get away with just two rides today? Not much to do today….just need to get moving in the next 13 minutes and that is pretty tough…okay…enough whining…time to get on with it….more later…
Could elon get any worse?
Well…I just remembered this little tidbit that I read this morning and thought I’d do a shorty about it…did you know that ole elon is letting the Russian army use his starlink satellites to help kill Ukrainians? Yep, there are photos of the receivers in Russian outposts and the only way they can get them or use them is if elon allows it…and he periodically shuts off the Ukrainian units to sow confusion when the Russians want to attack…how the hell is this not treason? Since the DOD paid for the development of the technology, he should be on the hook for espionage, too by giving that technology to the Russians…do we need any more reasons to tax the hell out of billionaires who do whatever they want? Nope…geez..
A less busy day…
Well…yep, as you can see I haven’t found a political topic for today but I’ll keep looking til 7 when I shut down for the night…today was less busy that the days have been and I didn’t get an outdoor ride in since it never got over 35 and that’s just to darn cold for me right now…but I did do three rides indoors and that gave me 24 miles for the day which isn’t bad…but that took most of the morning since I sat here for an hour trying to figure out if it was going to warm up enough to go outside…I did make burritos for lunch and then got some work done around here…my kitchen trash can needed scrubbing so I did that…and I’m doing another one meal day today to keep the calories under 1K for the day to continue to lose weight…my son finally got emby working again after it being down for two days so I’ll get to see Man U play tomorrow and then the super bowl tomorrow night…need to do some maintenance on the indoor bike tomorrow since the tires need air and the chain needs lubing…and I probably should clean it since it has lots of dust on it after sitting down there for three years…it looks like the next snow here isn’t going to happen until the 22nd of the month and the daytime temps are going to be above freezing most of that time…dang, we could get out of this winter with no major damage…sure hope so…
February 10th
Well…darn, another early morning with waking up at 4:04 and out of bed a little after 5 and this is getting to be a habit I don’t like much…I did sleep okay and don’t feel too bad this morning but have a fatigue that makes me feel like I’m weighed down by it…hmmm…just did the math and I’m behind on the miles I need on the bike to get to 7K this year…in 40 days, I only have 762 miles in and that should have happened about 4 days ago…10% of the mileage I need in 10% of the year…it’s going to be close and a long grind…won’t be riding outdoors today with the high of 38 and that is going to continue for the next 10 days…but only one day of snow showers on the 22nd so I have hope we get to March without any major snowstorms…have to call my doctor to get another PSA test done Monday since I’m late by a month and don’t want to let the cancer get a head start…but I really hate the waiting to find out what the reading is….only had one meal yesterday even with doing the 42 miles on the bike and I’ll probably do that again today with making bean burritos with sauteed green peppers and onions for lunch…but first two bike rides downstairs that I have to get started by 7…so that gives me 16 minutes to have coffee and prepare…not much else to do today…I may try to go outside for one ride if it’s sunny and I should clean the kitchen up and look for a recipe to make…but I want to make pasta so that could wait a couple of days…more later…
Big day on the bike…
Well…with the weather changing tomorrow, I thought I’d get in some extra miles so I did two rides inside and then two outside for a total of 42 miles today…biggest day of the year so far…and there were lots of cool things to see..when I went out Thursday, Muskegon lake was still completely iced over and Lake Michigan still had ice piles that were still 6-8 feet tall…but, with the 60 degree temps yesterday, all of the ice was gone from Muskegon Lake and about 75% of the ice in Lake Michigan was gone by the time I got out there around 2 pm or so….I wouldn’t have gone out for the second ride at all if I would have looked at the weather report to see what the wind was doing…on the way back from the first ride, it had increased to around 20 and was supposed to get worse and it did for a while…but then around 2 I looked and the wind was back down to 15 which is what it was for the first ride so I suited up and headed out…and it was better than the first ride and i flew coming back with the wind…but now it’s time for some tv…
Carlson is an idiot…
Well…not sure if you watched the carlson/putin interview last night…I sure didn’t…but I have read about it and the only thing to say is that carlson is an idiot ass kisser…we all know this “interview” was just a way for the repubs to get ammunition to attack Joe Biden this fall…didn’t work out that way as putin reached back in time to justify attacking Ukraine all the way to the 9th century and the rest of the thing was just a bunch of delusions and lies…oh, and putin then went on to give a passionate defense of Hitler attacking Poland saying it was Poland’s fault that hitler invaded just like he went on and on that it was Ukraine’s fault that Russia invaded them…putin even poked fun at carlson since he tried to join the CIA once and got rejected…from what I’ve read, the whole damn thing was just carlson staring at putin as he lied, lied, and lied like any tin pot dictator…nice job, carlson, what a maroon…geez…
February 9th
Well…damn, the wind has been howling out here all night and it continues this morning…we had some thunderstorms roll through here last night and that is really weird for Feb in Michigan…the weather is going to make a huge change in the next few days going from almost 60 yesterday to in the 20′s Monday…so it looks like I won’t be able to get outdoors today….up at 5:23 this morning and I am so damn tired of getting up so early….just want to lie down on the couch and stop doing anything…but, I won’t….I do have to cook today since I used up all the leftovers yesterday and I think that is going to be bean burritos and some chicken pieces that I have way too many of….so, food that is bad for me but I’ve been good for weeks so I guess I can live with it…have been so busy lately that I really need an easy day to just live instead of doing, doing, and doing….but that will start after I get two rides in starting in 30 minutes or so…I do need to run an errand this morning since I need tomatoes for the burritos and a stalk of celery from aldis for some reason…maybe for snacks with some ranch? Not much to do today…just need to get going after I have another cup of coffee…man, I’m worn out…more later…
Another one of those days…
Well…darn, I’m a heck of lot busier since I retired and today was another one of those busy days…started out with getting on the bike a little after 7 and had all three rides in before 11…made some lunch and then cleaned up the piles of trash that the asshole renters left on the vacant lot across from their house…and there was enough trash to fill up 3 30 gallon trash bags…in the trash there were 52 half pint bottles of vodka, 60 red solo cups, and assorted food wrappers, diapers and over 40 water bottles…that took me almost an hour but now I don’t have to look at the trash when I go out to ride…after that I cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom, then did my weight work and i was done for the day about 3:30…so, an 8 1/2 hour day and that’s enough…now I’m going to watch some tv…
Telegraphing the ruling..
Well…was just reading that the SC is telegraphing what they are going to rule in the case that got to them from Colorado where their SC kicked the idiot trump off the ballot and it can’t be worse…we all know that this SC with all of the unqualified, lying, right wing hacks on it put there by idiot boy is poised to ignore the constitution…again..and rule that idiot boy can stay on the ballot no matter what the 14th amendment says…just as they did when they killed Roe and are going to kill the EPA and every other department of the government except what was in the constitution in 1787…they have shown that this is the most illegitimate court in the history of the country and John Roberts has a lot to do with that and is going to go down as the worst chief justice in the country’s history…he can’t even get thomas to recuse in this case even though it’s been shown that his wife was in the thick of the January 6th attack…corruption personified…geez…
