Well…it’s one of the things I can’t figure out…how the hell can anyone think the idiot would be better on the economy that any dem? After all, he ran the economy into the ditch and put 7 trillion dollars into the national debt using the same policies he said he will do again..tax cuts for the rich and tariffs on everything imported that every damn economist says will shift the tax burden to the middle class and will add another 6 trillion dollars to the debt…do Americans have memory loss or are they just stupid…and the one thing they have to remember…after every repub presidency, the dem that follows always has to fix the damn economy just like Joe Biden had to do after idiot boy…and Harris/Walz ticket will continue the fact based policies of Biden/Harris that have made our economy the best in the world…and yet people think the idiot is better…man, we have gotten stupid…geez..

August 31st
Well…damn, it’s after 7 and I’ve just poured my first cup of coffee and that puts me behind for the day already…need to get two rides in before F1 qualifying at 10 so I need to get going by 7:30…got a lot of miles in yesterday so I can only do two rides today and not feel too guilty about it…Michigan plays tonight so I’ll be glued to that at 7pm so another night of no Svengoolie and there are lots of races on, too, so today might be fun…going to slather my neck with voltaren before I go out in 8 minutes….and my right elbow that has been hurting so badly that it hurts to pick up my coffee cup…damn, I’m getting old…the humidity has finally dropped out here and it’s pretty comfortable here right now…it was just so wearing to have everything so damp for so long…I may even clean the bathroom today since it will dry after I wash everything…I do need to cook today with no leftovers to eat and I haven’t planned anything yet other than taking some thighs out of the freezer…should make another batch of pasta salad but that may wait til tomorrow…damn, I need to get going…more later…
An easy day turned into more..
Well…when I got up this morning and it was raining, I knew the rides were going to start indoors and it really did look like I wasn’t getting outdoors for any miles…and I even entertained the thought of only doing one ride indoors and calling it good…but the one ride turned into two inside and by the time I finished indoors, the rain had stopped and it was drying up quite quickly so I jumped on the outdoor bike to get a ride in…that ride turned into two for a total of 42 miles and my easy day turned into more…and now I only have 186 more miles to go to get to the goal of 7,100 and I should get there next week since there is no more rain in the forecast until next Friday…not sure how I feel about that…I know it’s what I have been working towards all year and have thought about for years and I know I haven’t thought past it…not sure if I need a goal to be motivated to ride but I know staying active is the greatest anti aging thing you can do and I like the way I look weighing less so I know I’ll keep it up…not sure if it will be at this pace, though, since I do feel like I’m wearing out…haven’t had a rest day this year but that is another goal to be met this year…riding every day for the year…time for weight work…
It was just normal…
Well…after watching the Harris/Walz interview the other day it struck me just how normal it seemed…other the the interviewer spewing right wing talking points, Kamala and Tim just answered the questions, made sense, and didn’t attack anyone or lie…and I think that’s key in these times…aren’t you tired of the idiot trump? The ranting and raving and constant lies and attacks and every day striving to be worse than the day before? I think this should be a theme for the campaign…look how normal we are…and when you come home from work and turn on the news there won’t be any outrageous anything that would have happened…just steady, normal leadership and getting things done to make American’s lives better…we know that idiot boy can’t do that and aren’t we tired of it? There is enough stress in modern life and we should make the point that calmness is possible if we elect the Harris/Walz ticket…don’t you need a little calmness…I know I do…
August 30th
Well…up at about the same time as always this morning…okay, that’s not true…I wake up at weird times all the time but today it was around 6 or so…there is a nice breeze blowing through here right now and it looks like it’s not going to be light before the rain comes in so I’ll be doing the first ride downstairs today….we might even get a little storm and that would be cool…had the feeling that it was Saturday when I got up and that has been going on all week…with no routine the days just run together…I forgot to take food out of the freezer so I’m not sure what I’ll be eating today…maybe some pasta? Or a hot ham and cheese sandwich? Should probably look right now and get something thawing…man, it would be easy to just hit BK for a burger and fries but that would break my string of 4 years of no fast food…I just want to sit here and watch for rain to quote Pink Floyd….the sky here is golden as the sun comes up but my camera won’t capture it…oh, well…not much to do today…I am so tired of being damp with the humidity and I hope the rain will change that soon…I am going to sit here for a half hour and have more coffee and watch F1 practice…more later…
Blocked drains..
Well…when I got up this morning, I found that my bathroom sink drain was completely blocked and drain cleaner wouldn’t touch it…so after the second ride, I went out to depot to pick up a small drain auger and found a nice one for 30 bucks…to get at the pipes I had to remove the trap under the bathroom sink and found that the clog was right there so I didn’t need the auger…15 minutes later I had it cleaned and put back together with the stopper adjusted right so it opens as it’s supposed to…have had problems with that drain since I bought this place but now I think it’s solved permanently and I saved the 30 bucks I spent on the auger so I can return it next week…I did get the last of the lawn food applied to take advantage of the rain that is supposed to come tomorrow morning…okay, need to do the weight work…Oh, when I was at my water stop on the last ride, an old gentleman sat down to ask where the “beach loop” was that he saw on the signs so I showed him since I ride it every day…he was looking for a place to do rehab walks for some knee problems he is having…we had a nice chat and it was cool to talk to anyone with my self imposed covid isolation going on…
Above the law?
Well…as anyone knows, the idiot trump thinks he is above the law and the Arlington incident where he and his team actually broke federal law by filming a campaign ad in the cemetery…and the excuse the army is using to justify just letting him get away with it is that the female attendant who was assaulted by one of trump’s assholes doesn’t want to press charges because she fears attacks from trump’s thugs…now, this is just wrong…they still broke the law and it would still be a crime that should be prosecuted even if she wasn’t there…after all, the evidence they broke the law has already been turned into an ad and posted to the internet…and since when is it a private citizen’s responsibility to enforce the law? I sure hope the military trumpers let this one soak in and makes them think about just who they are still supporting…idiot boy truly is the worst person in the world…geez…
August 29th
Well…damn, I hurt everywhere this morning and I think this may be an ibuprofen morning…really don’t like to do that but I’ve been using too much voltaren to try to make it thought the rides…I did get three rides in yesterday and I’m gradually heading to the goal that I’ll hit in a week and a half or so if I keep up the 38 miles a day…didn’t get anything done yesterday but cooking but I need to feed the lawn to take advantage of the rain that is coming tomorrow and use up the leftover food…then I won’t feed it again until the fall food goes on in October…I really do need to clean the kitchen today, too, since the sinks are getting pretty bad and the prep table is too…and that will lead into the bathroom but with how humid it’s been they would never dry…but the weather is changing over the weekend down into the 70′s and that should help…I do need to order the parts to rebuild the bike and I have enough cash back on my capitol one card to cover it so all the parts will be free…and I’m going to order a new set of earbuds since the ones I’m using are getting pretty old…I should make a list of the things I need so I don’t miss anything…not much to do today…just need to get started on the bike as soon as it gets light in a half hour and then take it from there…more later…
It’s even worse…
Well…I wrote about the lawbreaking photo op that the idiot trump did at Arlington NS and the disrespect he showed those buried in the cemetery by giving a thumbs up over the headstone of one of the fallen soldiers…but it is even worse than that…it has been reported that the people trump had with him pushed and bullied a cemetery employee who tried to keep them out of the restricted area…now, in any normal time in this country’s history, this crap would have ended his campaign but nope, the media gives him a pass even when disrespecting our fallen soldiers…but we know he hates the military and has said so many times…and that, too, should be disqualifying but trump gets away with the bullshit since the major media want him to win to keep the rage clicks and money coming in…I just hate that asshole…geez..
August 28th
Well…another night of not much sleep but I was able to stay in bed until almost 6…still pretty worn out and I’m wavering on riding indoors to start the day…if I do, I need to get going in 10 minutes or so and I just poured the first cup of coffee so the math doesn’t work out…I do need to do the grocery run today but just at Meijers and Aldis…no deals at DD today…I’m under 300 miles to get to my goal on the bike for the year so I guess a 25 mile day wouldn’t hurt too much…I’m not sure what the post goal riding is going to look like but I do know I need to cut calories if I cut back on riding…but how do I do that when I’m already under 1,500 calories for the day? One less ride would mean taking 600 calories out and I can’t live on 900 calories a day…oh, well…it only got down to 72 last night but the weather is going to change with highs down into the 70′s next week…and lows back in the 40 to near 50…I just want the humidity to drop…tired of being damp all the time…not much to do today…just the grocery runs and rides but I do need to cook today…have some chicken thighs marinating but I’m not sure if I’m going to grill or not…more later…
