Well…the corrupt SC did it again last week when they engineered the biggest power grab in history by ruling that judges can overrule ever agency of the government on any whim they want…you want clean air and water? Nope…the EPA can no long make any rules that keep us safe from industry…so now any company can dump anything into the water and there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it…you want workplace safety? Gone since OSHA can no longer enforce the rules they have put in place to keep workers from being injured or killed on the job…you want to be protected against scams stealing your money? Gone since the SEC can no longer put rules in place to protect you…so now judges who are not experts on any of these topics will be the ones ruling on the thousands of lawsuits that will be filed this week by industry and assholes who want to be able to pollute and steal whatever they want…and next time there’s a pandemic? The FDA can’t do anything about it…the SC just kneecapped the entire government and it will no longer function…so remember that this fall and vote these assholes out so the court can be reformed…this is the worst thing I’ve ever seen from the SC and I’m old…geez…

June 30th
Well…running about on time with getting out of bed around 6 today and I think I slept okay…but still feel pretty worn out and I hope the coffee starts to work soon…it’s only in the 50′s out there right now and I need to get on the bike by 7 or so so I can watch the F1 race at 9…I’m a little concerned that I’m wearing my body out with all the miles I’m putting in…so darn sore all the time and it’s new places that hurt..and I slathered biofreeze on everything last night just to be able to sit here and not wince every time I move…I really thought I ate enough yesterday but then I did the math and my big meal of a chicken thigh, a couple of small red potatoes and some beans and peas from the garden only added up to about 500 calories so I was under 1,000 for the day again…I wonder why it’s so hard to eat enough? I know I’ve been complaining about that for years now and I’m bored with it as I’m sure you are…not much to do today…don’t have to cook with the chicken and brats I grilled yesterday and I wonder if I should only do two rides today to give myself a break? I know I could use it and it is really hard to get moving right now….more later…
Good rides this morning…
Well…with how bad I felt yesterday, I was really concerned that it was going to continue today…but, I felt good on the bike and got my 38 miles in before 11am and I still feel pretty good now after having lunch…it might have helped that I ate a Kind bar and put an electrolyte tablet in my final bottle of water…I did eat a little extra yesterday so that helped, too…and I’m going to grill some chicken thighs and brats to have food for a couple of days after the soccer match that is on…have to change a light bulb on the side of the garage since it burned out this morning…going to start using the CFL’s that I took out of the fixtures in here since I have a box full of them downstairs…it was pretty crowded on the trail with the Seaway run this morning and thousands of runners taking part…so the second ride was mostly done on the road but that didn’t bother me in the least…it’s nice that they do events here and the art fair is on today and tomorrow so I may ride down there tomorrow…
The NYT is dead to me…
Well…the rot that has hit the media in this country caused by the right wing takeover showed it’s ugly face again when the NYT published an editorial calling for Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race after his shaky performance Thursday night…do you remember them calling for the idiot trump to drop out of the race after being convicted of 34 felonies? No? They didn’t…so flubbing a few lines because you’re not feeling well is now worse to the Times than being a felon who is going to be sentenced on the 11th of July…and still has over 50 more felonies against him pending…but that is not important to the Times…what is important to them is doing everything they can to help idiot boy to get more tax cuts and damage the ability of the government to work at all as the trump packed SC court did this week by gutting the ability of the EPA and every other agency to formulate regulations…and again “settled precedent” was ignored by the most corrupt court in the history of this country…and we have the media to thank for that too by giving idiot boy billions of dollars worth of coverage for free in 2016 so he then appointed the lying right wing justices…so the NYT an the Post are now dead to me sine they are no no better than fox news…geez…
June 29th
Well…running a little late this morning with not getting out of bed til after 6 and I feel just worn out and it is going to be a struggle to get moving today…the rain that was supposed to be 100% today has now been reduced to 4% so no relief for the lawn and that sucks…and I think I’m giving up on the garden…it’s all dying and I’m tired of worrying about it…don’t know what I’m doing wrong but I’ve never had trouble with it until I moved out here…oh, well…not sure what I’m going to cook today but I do need to cook something…took some brats and chicken thighs out of the freezer but I’m not sure if they will be thawed to grill today…okay, the brats are but I just took the chicken out of the fridge to sit on the table for a bit so I can cook them both…need to marinate the chicken with teriyaki sauce to see how that tastes…there is a running race on this morning so the trails will be crowded this morning and and art show downtown today but I’m not sure if I’m going to walk down there…we are going to have a record low of 50 tomorrow night and the heat will come on…in June, in Michigan….weird…not much to do today…I should do three rides outdoors today but I don’t think I have the energy for it…I guess we’ll see after I get out for the first ride here in 20 minutes…more later…
A crappy day…
Well…it’s been a pretty crappy day today with not feeling well at all and the rain still stayed away…again…while it has been raining all day just a little south of here…and I had a flat on the bike where the valve stem just blew out of the tube…luckily, I had two new tubes in the cabinet and now I’ll have patching material to repair the other 4 that are downstairs…not sure why I feel so lousy but I know part of it is my allergies being so bad and I guess the other part is still not eating enough and I know that not being able to taste anything has something to do with that…and eating spoiled food since I couldn’t tell that the potato salad had gone bad and ate some of it…it did have an off smell to it but I only made it Sunday and it shouldn’t have gone bad that soon…I still did 33 miles on the bike today but felt bad doing it…probably should have taken it easy today…oh, well…there’s always tomorrow….
Get over it…
Well…so, Joe wasn’t feeling well and didn’t have the best night against the Adderall snorting 34 felony adjudicated rapist that has promised to end our democracy…and the hand wringing on our side for one off night after all Joe has done for us has one response from me: get over it…he is still the compassionate, get things done person he always was…and last night didn’t change any of that…Joe has earned your vote by what he’s done over the past 4 years and if you think of voting for the idiot trump after that then just get the hell away from this site…I have had enough of the double standard that the media is using to compare the idiot and Joe and letting idiot boy get away with lying constantly…and the moderators just sat there as he lied and lied and lied…so what do we do? Get the hell out there and vote for the only good man on that stage last night…geez…
June 28th
Well…running really late today with not getting out of bed until almost 7 and I am so tired of having to get moving every day…I mean, when do I get a day off? When do I get to just live and sit here without the pressure of getting the miles in? Yeah, I know I’m whining but I’m just frickin exhausted but I know I need 38 miles today…it’s nice that I don’t need to cook today but I do need to plan meals for the next few days and get something out of the freezer…need to get at least one ride in before the F1 sprint race at 10:30 but I really don’t care about anything right now…does that sound like depression? Could be…I just noticed that the being out in the sun yesterday exposed all of the freckles on my arms and it made me think of my mother who had so many of them…it’s the Irish in me and it reminds me of my heritage…I used to have a red beard when I was young….there is rain coming in and I need to get on the bike for a ride right now or I’ll be wet so I need to figure out how to get the miles in…will have to do the indoor bike and it may be a short mile day today…not much to do today…I do have to do laundry since I have bedding that needs cleaning…the radar shows that it is going to rain almost all day and I can’t wait….need to get moving…more later…
An okay day…
Well…had an okay day today with getting the three rides in and going out to the beach…was not warm enough for that with the temp still in the 60′s and a wind out of the north…but the water was warm so I got a swim in and that was good…I finally got a photo of the Kingfisher playing helicopter hunting today and it doesn’t show much but it does show I’m not imagining it…it sucks but I’m losing more of my sense of taste as the days go by…can’t really taste much anymore so now I really do have to shift into fuel mode and force myself to eat…was lightheaded at the beach today an I’m sure it was from not eating enough to support 38 miles a day on the bike…I have been putting electrolytes into the water I drink on the bike and I think that helps a bit but a pork chop, three small red potatoes, and beans and peas from my garden isn’t enough…I’m burning 1,800 calories a day on the bike and only taking in 1,000 or so and that’s just not going to work long term…okay, I’m tired and want to watch some tv…I think I said that last night, too…
Not watching the debate…
Well…you would think that someone who follows politics pretty closely would be all over watching the first presidential debate tonight but nope…I can’t take seeing the idiot trump’s ugly face or listen to that voice that sounds like a bag of shit going down a garbage disposal…so I’ll be reading the reporting on it later in the evening…cripes, even the idiots advisors have told him to not come across as a”gigantic asshole”…ha, ha…they may as well tell him not to breathe…he can’t do it since he IS a gigantic asshole and is getting worse every day…this really isn’t a debate since idiot boy doesn’t know anything about policy so how the hell can he make cogent analysis to rebut what Joe has to say? The whole thing on idiot boy’s side is just going to be more of his bullshit of lying about everything and trying to intimidate Joe and that is not going to work since Joe has seen it all…I’m sure Joe will get some digs in since he has been prepping for weeks and idiot boy hasn’t…so I’ll be interested to see how the media both sides this one…geez…
