Well…not sure if you saw the photos of the idiot trump visiting a black church to try make the case for black people to vote for him…yeah, only thing wrong with that…not a damn person in the photo was black and all he did was attack the black community for “soaring” crime rates and said that no goes to the grocery store anymore since they can be shot for “getting a loaf of bread”…look, I just hate this asshole and the damage he’s done to this country and I am tired of writing about him but someone has to do it…we have to have our voices and use them to highlight the total absurdity of anything he does or says…especially since the lie of “soaring” crime rates is always trotted out by this asshole when the official FBI stats show that every category of crime has dropped up to 30% over the past few years…but will that ever get reported? Nope, since the media needs the clicks that a “horse race” gives them and they sure don’t want to help Biden by telling the truth…I am so damn tired…geez…

June 16th
Well…that was weird…slept through the night and didn’t get out of bed til almost 6:30 even with going to bed early last night…but I still feel pretty worn out so I’ll have to drag myself out here in 32 minutes to get the first ride in…just couldn’t force myself to have a second meal yesterday so I’ll be down on calories today…it’s going to be almost 90 out here today and into the 90′s tomorrow so I may just go to the beach to start evening out my biker tan…not sure how cold the water is but I would really like to get a swim in…last year it was cold all summer and I only was in the water a few times….but with the health problems, that was okay…it is nice to have gotten something done on the house with putting the new blinds up but I won’t be doing anything on it today…it will be enough to get two rides in…or maybe even three…there is a little wind out here and it is almost 70 at 7am so just a t-shirt and shorts for all the rides today…still pretty sore today so I’m not sure how fast I’ll be taking it…I do need to get two meals in today but I’m not sure what they will be…I have chicken legs for one but I sure don’t feel like cooking anything today so it may be another one meal day and I know that’s not smart….oh, well…more later…
Blinds are up…
Well…after the pain int he butt work to put the first new blind up yesterday, I was going to take today off and get back to it tomorrow…but after taking a half hour off, I just had to get it done so I got to work and these two only took me half hour total…I did remember the idea that if you put some wax on the screw threads they will go in easier and it worked like a champ..so all three of the new blinds are centered in the windows and perfectly level and look pretty modern…and I repaired all of the extra holes in the frames that held 10 different blinds/curtains that the previous owners never repaired…it’s nice to finally start making progress on the house again and now it’s time to start painting again…but not today…I’m done for the day and a race is going to start so I think I’ll do that instead…
Finally…reporting
Well…finally, the media is starting to report on the idiot trump’s severe mental decline after a couple of incidents over the past week…the first one was where he was doing one of typical rants when the teleprompter froze and he did, too…then to fill the time he went off on the most bonkers rant about electric boats and sharks that made no sense at all…and in a meeting with his rich supporters in DC Thursday, his decline was on full display as he could barely put a coherent sentence together and went of on rambling rants about Taylor Swift, Nancy Pelosi and anyone who has a caring wife…and finally, the media has started to report and comment with USA today saying this after the bonkers press conference after he was convicted of 34 felonies a couple of weeks back: “trump’s cheese slid off it’s cracker. It ain’t coming back”. I now know why Joe Biden wants to debate him without teleprompters…and the low information voters who aren’t paying attention will be shocked when they see him and will know he doesn’t belong anywhere near the WH…geez…
June 15th
Well…normally, when I hurt as bad as I do right now, I’d take a day off of everything and give this old body a rest but with the goals I have of riding every day and getting to 7,100 miles won’t allow that…but I may just skip the indoor ride and just do two outdoors today…it’s almost 60 out there so I can get out as soon as the coffee starts to work…was up at 3:40 but didn’t get out of bed til after 6 but the extra time didn’t do a thing and I’m still exhausted…the new blind looks good and modern and it makes me want to get the other two up in here but I’m not sure if that will be today….maybe…but I need an easy day to grill some chicken and potatoes…damn, it’s pushing 7 and I need to get going but I have no energy…it’s going to be 90 here for the next three days and I wonder if I should go to the beach for the first time Monday? The water is still too cold to swim but I think I need to start evening out my biker tan and I could use the relaxation time…I normally like to go out there in the morning but that would mean cutting out at least one ride and I’m not sure I can do that….I guess we’ll see…not much to do today…just need to get my butt moving right now so I can finish the two rides before 10…damn, I’m sore…and tired….more later…
One blind up…
Well…damn, what a pain in the butt but I do have one of the new blinds up in the living room…the cheap ass screws they included look like they’re made to only go into plaster or pine but my windows are trimmed with walnut and it was almost impossible to make them go in even with drilling the holes almost as big as the screws…I even had to go downstairs and get leftover screws from other work since the heads of the ones with the blinds just stripped out…but the blind works and looks good and the other two should be easier after figuring out this one…didn’t get any other work done but the bike rides and an errand…and my hands hurt so much from doing this one that I am going to have to treat them later…crap…
Now guns have more rights than people…
Well…the SC does it again and awards more rights to guns than people and the corruption just oozed from this partisan opinion…you recall what a bump stock is? It is a little device that turns a semi automatic gun into a full automatic one that was used to kill 58 people in Las Vegas a few years back…and today the repub SC said that they are just fine for anyone to buy or use…what the hell is next? Can I get a full automatic 50 cal and mount it to the front of my car? I’m sure someone will sue to get that right in one of the right wing infested courts and then everyone will be able to carry full automatics wherever they want…look, folks, if you didn’t have a reason to vote before, you do now…how long do you think it will be until some asshole shoots up a school or a mall or a church using a bump stock on a semi automatic? Days probably and the unhinged righties will be the ones doing it…the court needs reform and the only way we’ll get it is if we get out and vote…geez…
June 14th
Well…damn, I’ve been feeling the depression coming for a couple of weeks now and it hit overnight….up at 4:34 this morning and haven’t slept for crap for the past week and it’s probably connected but I’m too tired to think about it right now…it didn’t rain like forecast yesterday so that means I’m going to lose the lawn for the second year in a row…I wonder if I should just plant dune grass on it and let it go? Today is going to be a struggle with needing to go out and get the new blinds, stop at aldis, and then hit DD but I’m not sure if I’m going to have the energy to cook anything today….I do need to tear the couch apart today and rotate the cushions but that seems to be a daunting task right now….watched the last “Discovery” last night and I’ve now endured the end of 6 Star Trek series starting with TOS when I was 15…damn, that’s a long time and I’m really old…I just hate it when a show I like ends…oh, well…need to get on the bike in an hour or so to get the day started but I may do that earlier since I’m already bored…I do need to put one set of blinds up today to replace the one that fell apart when I tried to clean it but that seems like way too much work with how I’m feeling…and it’s not going to rain until next Friday so I give up on the lawn for another year….more later…
Had to take an easier day…
Well…after wearing myself out all week, I really had to take it easier today…I still did 33 miles but not a lot of work other than putting the new tabs on the plate and putting the new beach parking sticker on the windshield so I guess I have to keep it until at least the end of the summer…I do have veggies coming with beans and peas already growing and the cuke plants are flowering and they never did that last year…and even the pepper plants are flowering and I have a tiny little Jalapeno growing already…not sure what’s going on with the sunflowers this year but I have 8 of them up when last year they only got about 4 inches before some animal cut them off…a couple of them are over two feet tall and growing and have started to make flowers…so tomorrow I’ll go out and they will be gone…the flowers I put in on the east side of the house are taking off and have started to flower and I can’t wait til they all do…I do have to figure out where the next beans and broccoli are going to go since I want to have some late in the summer and I have lots of seeds…my new blinds have come in at depot and I’ll pick them up tomorrow and I’ll hit aldis right next door to get some mushrooms for the pizza I want to make this weekend…and maybe run over to DD to get some spicy chicken patties for 5 pounds for 6 bucks so I’ll have something quick and easy when I don’t want to cook…time to get ready for the night…
The fight is not over…
Well…even with the SC ruling today that abortion medications will stay legal for now, that doesn’t mean that trump controlled FDA could still rule that they are illegal and take that right away from everybody…even in blue states that have enshrined women’s right into their constitution like here in Michigan…so that puts abortion on the ballot here…again…and we need to get the hell out an vote to make sure the idiot toddler never sets foot in the WH again…and this is not the only damage he will do…just take a look at the fascist 2024 plan that the extreme right plan to impose on this country if they take control ever again…they already have a plan and trump people ready to replace every civil servant that kept them from doing it the last time idiot boy was installed…so, get out and vote like your life depends on it…it really does…geez…
