November 2nd

Well…man, it’s only 30 degrees out here right now so that is going to make me really late getting outdoors for a ride today…it looks like it will be after noon and that kind of screws up my schedule for the day…and I wonder why I even have a schedule? Yeah, I know…discipline…and that has me getting on the indoor bike here in 26 minutes for the first of two rides this morning….slept okay last night and I feel okay this morning if a little worn out…as I always do and that is getting old as I am…getting old? Crap…I am old and feeling it…okay, that’s enough of that…there is a Saturday ahead of me and even though the weekend doesn’t mean anything anymore, it’s still a day to enjoy…don’t really need to cook today but I want to…going to make some potato soup later since I have some whole milk to use up before it spoils and I need to cut up some more veggies to replace the pretzels that were killing me…I do have two more chicken leg quarters to either cook or freeze and I’m not sure which right now…not much to do today…just need to drag my butt downstairs and get the day started in 15 minutes and then I’ll let the day flow as it will…yeah, I’m still planning as I always do but the bathroom is clean so that is not hanging over me and that’s not a bad way to start the day…more later…

An easier day…

Well…the easy day I had planned for yesterday but didn’t allow happened today with only two indoor rides and then cleaning and a little yard work…started out with getting the two rides in downstairs by 11 am but it was a struggle to get going for some reason…didn’t even get out of bed til 6:30 or so and if I could figure out how that happened, I’d do it every day…after lunch, I went out to put the last of the winter food on the lawn to take advantage of the rain that is coming in Sunday…the leaves are still on the trees and I only have til the end of the month to put them out so I’ sure some of them are going to just get mulched up and left on the lawn…after that, I put a load of laundry in for the second time this week and that is unusual, too…normally, I do one load a week and I’m not sure how that many clothes got used…after that, I did a full cleaning on the bathroom and finished up my day with the weight work around 3 or so…I did get to read and finished up another one of those I got at the book sale so I’ll have to start a new one tomorrow…got some of the bike parts today but I’m still waiting for the rear cassette…bike is still working fine and as of today I only have 1,155 miles left to go and two months to do it…and I can sure do 600 miles a month..after all, I did over 800 in October…time for tv…

This will be funny if it happens…

Well…with ole elon propping up trump to the tune of 50 million dollars and counting, someone went into his background and found that he broke the law and lied about it when he was applying for citizenship here…when he came here from South Africa, he got into the country on a student visa…but the problem with that is he never signed up for any courses and then got a job here on that student visa which is illegal…and when he was applying for citizenship he lied about how he got into the country in the first place…and many, many times before, naturalized citizens have had their status revoked and were deported for lying when applying for citizenship…at the very least, the revelation that he has had regular phone calls with putin should cause his security clearance to be revoked and then SpaceX should be confiscated, especially since it was learned last week that he has been helping the Russian army attack Ukraine by providing internet access to them through his Starlink satellites…this is traitorous, helping an enemy of the US is the very definition of treason and he should be locked up for that…I’ve had enough of trump loving billionaire immigrants like elon, murdoch, and thiel who come here promising to live by the constitution and then do their best to subvert it at every turn..geez…

November 1st

Well…damn, another month starts and I’m so darn worn out that I just want to go back to bed but I won’t…just poured the first cup of coffee and it’s already 7:30 so this is going to be a day of struggle to get going…it’s not going to get to 50 out there so it looks like a short day on the bike…I am so tired of having a schedule every damn day…so I wonder if I should get the thermasuit out for the first time and get a cold outdoor ride in today? I’ll have to think about that…I really do need to put the last food on the lawn today since we have lots of rain coming in the next few days…might get up to two inches starting Sunday so I guess I could wait til tomorrow…didn’t get anything done yesterday but cook so I’ll have to get off my butt today and clean the bathroom…and I only have 9 minutes before I have to get on the bike downstairs and I sure don’t want to…but I will…going to have leftover chicken and scalloped potatoes for one meal today but I’m not sure what the second one will be…maybe the bean burritos I’ve been thinking about…who knows? More later…
