Well…damn, this would be funny if it wasn’t so sad…with the idiot trump really afraid of debating Kamala Harris on September 10th and trying out new excuses every day why he won’t debate…so now his latest idea is just announcing that he has agreed with fox news to debate on august 4th but he wants an arena full of his troglodyte followers and it moderated by fox news talking heads…that’s not how it works, donnie…you’ve already agreed to the September 10th debate and Harris is going to be there whether you chair is empty or not…you know this is just a way for weird donnie to get back in the news spotlight after being swamped by Kamala for the past two weeks…and he is so weird that he thinks this is going to work…it may work for your weird followers but everyone else sees through this self serving ploy to avoid getting your ass handed to you by the VP…not gonna work…geez..

August 3rd
Well…it was really hot here yesterday with the high getting to almost 90 but, since I was little, I have loved the heat…I did leave the windows open overnight and there was a nice, cool breeze blowing through here when I got up…I did sleep okay last night but I’m wearing out with almost 6,000 miles done and I think I’ll do a rest day of only one ride soon…my right knee hurts like crazy right now and I felt that coming on the bike yesterday…didn’t get anything done yesterday with the heat and sun and I’ll do the same today since it’s going to be hot again…no rain again yesterday but I saw that it set up just to the east of here and rained pretty good in the center of the state…oh, well…still don’t have to cook today but I’ll have to start thinking about that later today and change things up a bit…I might make some mashed potatoes since I have 6 pounds of potatoes sitting in the kitchen that only cost me 2 bucks…and onions…I wonder if I should look for an onion soup recipe? Okay, I need to get ready to ride right now at 6:37 to get three rides in before 10…more later…
Man, it’s hot…
Well…yow, it’s hot out here at 87 degrees so that is going to keep me in here for the afternoon…and the humidity is almost 60% so I’m sweating just sitting here…I did get the rides in before 10 am today and the humidity was almost 80% when I went out at 7am…didn’t rain out here again last night when the forecast said an 80% chance and there isn’t any in the forecast so it will be 5 weeks without rain…the lawn is dying quickly now but that just means I won’t have to mow it for 10 days or so…going to start taking the garden out next week since the cherry tomatoes taste bitter and crappy so I’ll just bag them up and put them out Tuesday morning…I really do think I’m going to use 5 gallon buckets next year since there has to be something in the soil that is killing the plants and I’ll get bags of potting soil for them to grow in…don’t know what else to try…it looks like about 10 buckets should do it…two for regular tomatoes and two for cherry…two for beans, one for green peppers and one for Jalapenos…nope more than 10 since I need two for broccoli, one for cukes and one for peas…I may try to dig out part of the garden and fill it with potting soil just for something to do and then put in a little of everything I grow for a test plot…I guess I have the winter to decide…don’t want the containers to be too big so I can move them around…
310 million dollars in a month…
Well…along with the news that VP Harris is now leading 7 swing state polls comes the tally of money she raised in July and it’s a stunner…310 million dollars…in one month…easily more than double what the orange idiot raised and the cool part is that a large majority of the money was donated by small donors with a lot of first time ones, too…she has raised over a billion dollars so far this year and has almost 400 million still in hand…and guess what that is not going to pay for? Legal bills where most of the idiot’s money has gone since the start of the year…you know, aren’t you tired of the constant chaos that idiot boy is foisting on this country? And casual racism, misogyny, and hate…wouldn’t you love to have a happy person who laughs and smiles and enjoys people…not the transactional asshole who only sees people as something to be used for his own ends…it’s a stark difference and a big part of the choice this fall…happiness, hope, and light or darkness and hate…I choose hope..I hope you do, too…
Egypt bribed the idiot…
Well…gee, I wonder they the media didn’t report on this at all…it seems that Egypt gave the idiot 10 million dollars just before he took office and magically, the US policy toward Egypt changed when idiot boy took over…there was even an investigation that had progressed to being ready to prosecute but Bill Barr shut it down and destroyed all the evidence…so, why isn’t Bill Barr in jail? It all comes down to Merrick Garland, Joe Biden’s worst appointment who declined to re-open the case…so let’s hope that Kamala, who was a prosecutor, will think like a prosecutor when she appoints a better AG who will hold everyone accountable and protect the rule of law…how about Jamie Raskin for AG…that would be a good pick…
August 2nd
Well…I guess I have to resign myself that it is never going to rain out here again…80% chance of rain forecast overnight and not a damn drop…and now nothing in the forecast for another two weeks…and that will make it 5 weeks without rain…at least I won’t have to mow the lawn…want to get on the bike by 7am to get the day started and have three rides in by 10am…have less than 200 miles to ride to beat my all time record so that should happen by the end of next week…slept okay even with the heat last night and the little fan my daughter left me really helps…probably should just take the AC unit out of the window since I haven’t used it at all this summer…and it’s going to be 90 today so we’ll see later today…might just try it tonight to get rid of the humidity…have more leftovers to use today and for the next few days so no cooking again…chicken burritos and soup looks like the meals for today…it’s 71 degrees already today and sticky humid so the rides are going to be a chore just like yesterday…might have to put electrolytes in all of the water bottles to deal with the heat today…so, I should get going and get myself sunscreened and pour the rest of the coffee down…more later…
New wipers on the car!
Well…if you’ve been here a while, you know that little things make me happy…and today that little thing was going out to Menards and getting a new pair of windshield wipers and putting them on the car…the Michelin ones that were on it had started to melt and stick to the windshield and leave huge marks at the end of the strokes…they were actually sticky to the touch and were leaving behind material when they were parked…had to take a plastic teflon scrubber and soap to get all of the residue off the glass…in all of my years of driving, I’ve never seen wipers start to melt before…so I washed the car after that for the first time in two months…it appears that the 100 spf sunscreen is going to work since I was out in the sun 3 hours and just a little pink from it…but now, every time I put the top down on the car, I’m going to have to use at least 50 sunscreen as I did today just for the 10 minute drive over to Menards and back…but I know I was going to wash the car and that takes about a half hour so I needed it…went over 5,900 miles on the bike today so less than two hundred miles to break my all time record and then every day makes a new one…legs held up okay but I did eat some toast and PB in between the first and second ride to make sure of it…okay, need to do the weight work right now…
Has Putin given up on idiot boy?
Well…with the news of the largest prisoner swap since WWII between the US and Russia, the thing that my mind went straight to was “has putin given up on trump?” Why would he give Joe Biden and Kamala Harris a win that they can use to their benefit in the election this fall? Unless he sees what is happening here in the US with the entire dem party getting behind Harris and the enthusiasm is off the charts as is the fundraising…and the polls have started to change with a bright spot of Kamala being ahead here in Michigan by 10 points and pulling even in every other swing state…and that is before the convention that normally gives the candidate a nice bounce…now, getting these Americans who have been illegally detained for years released is a good thing…but there is always a reason for putin doing anything and I think he has given up on trump…it’s about time…geez…
August 1st
Well…man, it was a warm day yesterday and it’s going to be another one today, tomorrow, and Saturday with temps nearing 90 every day…so it looks like a time to hunker down here and get the rides in by 10 every day…and that means getting on the bike in 20 minutes…the 100 sunscreen seems to be working since I was out in the sun for 3 hours yesterday and just got a little pink…it’s already almost 70 at 6:25 am so I think the rides will be in survival mode for the next few days…got a bunch done yesterday and I need to go out and get some new wiper blades for the car today since the ones on it are falling apart and leaving marks on the windshield…and I may wash the car today with it so dusty…and I may start taking the garden out today since it has stopped giving me anything usable…oh, well…containers next year…slept okay last night but I wonder if I ate enough yesterday to support three rides today? Is a bowl of soup and a chicken burrito enough? Yeah, I know the answer to that and will have to try to do better today…have leftovers so I don’t have to cook until Sunday…damn, need to get on the bike in 10 minutes so I need to get going…more later…
