Well…up at 4:44 this morning but laid there in bed until around 6 and now I need to get going to get the rides started before 7…for the fist time since I injured it 15 years ago, my right thumb didn’t hurt at all last night and I can’t figure that out…have been slathering it with voltaren every night for a year but today it’s just a little stiff…weird…it looks like no rain for another week so the lawn is gone for another year and that sucks since it was really coming in…oh, well…I do need to hit the library after the rides this morning to get a few more books…don’t have to cook today after grilling the chicken legs and pork loin fillets yesterday but I do have to do some meal planning to figure out what has to come out of the freezer…I do have some pork chops in there and I may take them out and try the second marinade I got a few weeks back…I did get some yard work done while I was grilling yesterday but I won’t have to mow this week with no rain…not much to do today…no cocktails for me tonight with a dentist appointment tomorrow and that will be good for me and I am looking forward to a day off…just what I need…the banner at the bottom of the screen says “very high pollen” and my allergies will be killer today…more later…

Joe drops out…
Well…I’m sitting here heartbroken that Joe Biden has dropped out of the race for the presidency…he has been the best president in my lifetime and he IS a good man who did what he promised…and I am ashamed that he was hounded out of the race by the moneymen and assholes on the left who put their own personal power needs ahead of the good of the country and I hate every damn one of them…so now I’m going to talk to the white guys here…Kamala Harris has just been endorsed by Joe and will get the nomination and it is up to us to embrace what can be a historical chance to elect the first woman president and beat the idiot trump into the ground…polls do show that Kamala polls lots better than trump and if we do this right, we could produce a landslide that would bury trump forever…I am curious who she picks as her VP…and there are lot of good people on the left…how about Jamie Raskin? Or AOC? I cannot wait for the debate between Harris and idiot boy…she will shred him…okay women…are we ready to take back your rights and squash maga forever? I’m all in so let’s go…
It’s all gaslighting…
Well…please stop doomscrolling…look, I get it…the polls here in Michigan showed that Joe is behind by 7 points and if you believe that, I’ve got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you…all of the stories about Joe are just gaslighting to make sure we don’t vote…their is no damn way the 34 times convicted felon and rapist is up by 7 here in Michigan…and it doesn’t matter anyway…if we vote, we win…that is the key to election right there…and there is a concerted effort by Russia, China, and the billionaires to throw the election to the idiot…and the Russians even endorsed JD Vance the other day…if you need any evidence that the repubs will kiss putin’s ass, there it is…can you imagine if the Russians endorsed Joe? It would be nonstop condemnation in every billionaire owned news media…and look, the billionaires have tripled their wealth under the idiot and want that back so they can steal even more…while Joe is readying a wealth tax so that’s why they are spending so much to defeat Joe…so, stop reading the lies and make you life simple…just vote…if we do that, we win…geez…
July 21st
Well…damn, I need to get on the bike in 15 minutes and I’m not sure if I can…trying to pour the coffee down to get a jumpstart but that’s not working yet…need to get two rides in before the F1 race at 9am and I am so tired of rushing all the time…and my back hurts like crazy but luckily it doesn’t get worse when I get on the bike…going to have to cook today and I have chicken legs in a marinade along with some 7 oz bacon wrapped pork loins I’m putting on the grill today that will feed me for 3 or 4 days…need something to go with them and I think that will be baked beans and potato salad but need to have the last bowl of potato soup for lunch…I am just so tired today but I need to get going and do my teeth before I ride…it’s only 62 out there so I hope the cool weather will wake me up…not much to do today…just focused on getting the first two rides in and surviving that…and that is no joke with how I feel right now…more later…
Another easy day…
Well…after the three rides this morning…I really haven’t done much but my weight work and picking a cuke from my garden to make pickles that I now have in the fridge…and the cuke I picked was just the right size to fill up a quart jar after I sliced it…can’t wait to try them since it really the only way I like cukes…and I have a huge jar of pickling spices that I should use up since they are a year old…I really don’t plan on doing much else today other than watch races that start right now…Indy car qualifying and then the Indy xfinity race from the big oval at Indianapolis so that will take up the day…dang, my back and right side were getting better until I spaded the walks the other day and now it hurts again almost as bad as it did initially…but no ibuprofen…I’ll just live with it as I always do…I had potato salad for breakfast…had to eat something…
4 years ago…
Well…one of the themes of the crazy RNC convention was the magical thinking that people in the US were better off 4 years ago under the idiot trump…almost every damn speech was the same damn delusions that were devoid of facts…so let’s talk about some facts…the first one is that trump and his cronies were kissing putin’s ass almost every day which led to the invasion of Ukraine…is that better? Nope…then the pandemic which was so sorely mismanaged by idiot boy that an extra 500,000 Americans died from it after he said that the virus would “go away soon”…in July of 2020 the virus exploded in the US, rising 69% and deaths went up 20%…now let’s talk about the economy…from April to June the economy contracted 32.6 % and was close to the worst drop ever…and unemployment soared to 10%…you get the picture..idiot boy didn’t do anything right 4 years ago and he won’t do anything right if we let him back in the WH…that needs to not happen…get out and vote…geez..
July 20th
Well…damn, I’m feeling old this morning…and I don’t remember being in this much pain in a long, long time…so, do I take an ibuprofen before I get on the bike or not? It’s only 59 degrees out there right now and the only thing I want to do is sit here…but I won’t and that is a little crazy with how I feel….I am going to try to get three rides in before F1 qualifying at 10 but that means I can’t wait much longer to start…didn’t get a lot done yesterday so I need to do some cleaning today and some meal planning and it will all come out of the freezer…took some chicken legs out yesterday and I have a new marinade to try that I got a couple of weeks ago…and that will pair up with the potato salad I made yesterday…and I have baked beans in the pantry that would go with that, too…it hasn’t been too bad up here with the bike event and I’m happy about that…but I am looking forward to it being over…I wonder if I should make this a repair day and only do two rides? I could sure use it but the guilts will prevent that…not much to do today…just damn tired and I need a break…more later…
Took it easy today…
Well…after all of the work earlier in the week and being so sore from it, I took it easy today and really didn’t do anything but the rides and a trip out to the beach…and I didn’t even swim much since the water was damn cold again and I couldn’t muster the energy to swim in the cold…I did make potato salad and this batch tastes good even though the potatoes were a little oxidized and dark…I did run out to get some more tortillas since I ran out and need to finish up the chicken tacos…have been eating lots of jalapeno in them…probably more spicy food than I’ve eaten in the last year…it was only 51 degrees when I got up so I did the first ride indoors but tomorrow I’ll be able to get right out as soon as I get up with the low only getting down to 62 overnight….okay, I need to reset the tire size on my bike computer since it’s not reading right…will probably adjust the pickup, too just to make sure…
Planting stories to weaken Biden…
Well…you knew this was going to happen with the corrupt billionaire owned media in this country…if you just read the mainstream media, it appeared that Joe Biden had lost all of the dem support other than his dog and he was contemplating getting out of the race… and even Obama was pressuring him to leave…not so fast..Obama came out today and said he supports Joe and his run and Hakeem Jeffries also came out and said he was “team Biden/Harris” and will do everything he can to help them get elected…so the stories of Joe’s lack of support are just what they call “ratfucking” by printing lies to weaken your opponent and all of the media was in on it except some of the independent ones that aren’t owned by billionaires…so, ignore all that crap and get out there and vote…ignore the big media and let’s put our heads down and get to work…if we vote, we win…remember that…geez…
July 19th
Well…damn, it’s only 52 degrees out there right now and I really don’t want to be that cold so that disrupts my whole day…was planning to get on the bike and get two rides in before I have to run the errand but that is not going to happen…and my back is so sore from the spading that I can barely move…okay, the weather widgit at the bottom of my screen says it’s 51 degrees and there is no way I’m going out when it’s that cold…so I’ll have to re-shuffle my entire day and sit here for a while…so maybe only tow rides today? I could sure use the rest and to just relax my way into the day…just do damn tired..I guess I could go downstairs and get a ride in and I might do that….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same but I do need to do some meal planning and get food out of the freezer…not sure what that will be until I look but don’t want to right now…only have about 700 more miles to do to beat my all time record of 6,109 miles and then just another thousand on top of that to get to my goal for the year and I’ll make that easily unless I fall off the bike or have a heart attack…I wonder that the total will be for the year? I may be able to get to 9,000 miles but I think I’ll shift back to only 25 miles a day once I get there…too damn old to keep up this pace…more later…
