I wonder why?

Well…as the biggest idiot in the world shoots the US in the foot by imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico…I wonder why China has escaped with just a tongue lashing? And now both of our best trading partners are readying their own tariffs against our exports and every damn economist out there has said this is going to explode into a trade war that is going to tank the US economy…and then we have the idiot in chief going on and on that the US pays hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies to Canada and he thinks that Canada should be absorbed like the Borg did in TNG…what a delusional piece of shit…and we all know that this is just idiot boy trying to use the US’s power to bully other countries to do what he wants…and I really think he is going to be personally responsible for the US failing as a country as the rest of the world will unify against us…and that can’t be repaired…so he is getting the shithole country he always wanted…geez…

February 2nd

Well…damn, running late again today and I need to get two rides in before Man U plays at 9…so that means I need to get on the bike in 10 minutes to get that done…and I’ve just started my first cup of coffee so that is going to be a struggle…it snowed overnight and will be snowing this morning but it’s going to be over freezing later so it should all melt…I did check my BP this morning and it was 117/72 so that is encouraging but it will be back over 170 later today…I have to pay my water bill, property taxes, and house insurance this month and that means 1,700 bucks extra going out so I won’t be putting any money in the bank  and that sucks…but I am still making money on this house…for now…so I guess I can live with it….didn’t get a damn thing done yesterday but read and I need to finish a book and I’m not sure if I can carve out the time for it…yeah…that sounded weird to me, too…I mean all I have to do is decide to do and do it but the struggle between my guilt and taking it easy is pretty strong and I wonder if I’ll ever be able to take it easy again? Probably not…not much to do today…10 minutes to pour down more coffee and get on the bike…need to get moving…more later…oh, I did have a dream last night where I couldn’t find a pair of socks that matched…weird…

Okay, I’m officially a slug…

Well…damn after the second day in a row to doing nothing, I declare myself officially a slug…I did get three rides in and did the weight work but that was it for the day since I had leftovers and didn’t even have to cook….but I will clean some tomorrow to keep up prepping the dining room for sanding and painting…and I have to take all the scotch tape off the walls that is everywhere from the previous owners….we did lose a lot more snow here with it being over freezing today but my yard has no bare spots yet…still over 6 inches of snow out there and it is going to get cold again so we’ll probably have snow here until spring…I’m finally healing up from the shoveling from two weeks ago but most of the pain is gone…it’s supposed to snow a little bit tomorrow and maybe some freezing rain but that will end before I have to get out Monday morning…it doesn’t look like I’ll get the books done before Monday so I’ll have to go Tuesday…okay, need to get ready for the night…

Moochers all…

Well…”I didn’t think they were going to do that..” was the refrain from all of the red state moochers when their god king threatened to cut off all federal money to the states…after all the states that went heavy for trump are all takers with up to 50% of the state budgets being subsidized by blue states…yeah, you heard that right…those of us in blue states pay for budgets of every damn red state so they can cut taxes for the rich that live there…in Michigan we send 2 dollars to the feds for every dollar we get back in services and the same goes for every reliably blue state…and the hypocrite repub governors were all working behind the scenes to keep the money flowing while their public statements were all in support of idiot boy and his cuts…but we all know they are a bunch of lying hypocrites and have know that for a long time…geez…

February 1st

Well…up at damn 5:09 this morning and I am so worn out…again…I did grind some beans for my coffee today but ran it through my drip coffee maker instead of my pour over and it is just as good so I’ll remember that for the future…slept okay last night but I was lazy yesterday so I need to get on the bike here in a few minutes to get three rides in before 10…going to get to 1,000 miles in Feb and that has never happened before…man, I just want to melt into the couch and watch old movies but I won’t…I remember the days when I used to do that and one of these days I’m going to do that again…but today will be 470 days straight of riding bikes and I need to keep that going….it is pretty cool that the warm weather has melted a lot of the snow so when it starts up again I won’t have to throw it it over shoulder high snow piles…and it will snow more since it February in Michigan…but as every day goes by we get closer to spring and that will keep me going…and grinding through life….not much to do today…don’t have to cook for the next few days but I do have the dr appointment Monday so today will be the last day of coffee before then….and I want to keep cleaning this place up and I’m going to try to finish the third book before Monday so that will give me something to do….more later….
