Well…I had forgotten that today was “drunks on the trail” day and it was a mess for the first ride outdoors…but, being the idiot I am, I went back out to get a second ride in and it was just a frickin crowded mess and I ended up riding in the road all the way back…there must have be a dozen crashes and a hundred close calls and the trail will be a mess in the morning…but I did get the33 miles in so I guess that’s something…there were over a thousand people on bikes and I think it’s too crowded when I see 10…so, next year I’ll just take a pass on this day and ride indoors…should have done that today since my legs have been asking for a rest for quite a while…I’m still laughing that I bought 600 tabs of benadryl for 10 bucks…they do work better than the red dots so it looks like I’m good for the rest of the year..and they make me sleep better…didn’t get out of bed til almost 6 this morning and I’ll take that any day…time for weight work…

No FEMA for you…
Well…after the idiot in chief destroyed FEMA, what the hell are the red areas of this country going to do? After all, most of the funds that FEMA channeled for disaster relief went to repub controlled states…but FEMA did more than just disaster relief…they did flood prevention projects that protected people and property but now it’s left to the states for all of these things…and the red states are already the “welfare queens” who get more money from the feds than they send in taxes so where is the money going to come from? And the trump cult is so strong that even people who have flooded property and lost their homes are saying “there must be a good reason” for idiot boy destroying the agency…and let’s be blunt, blue states were paying most of the bill for recovery efforts so maybe we’ll keep some of that money for our state…geez…
May 31st
Well…damn, it’s only 41 degrees out here and the heat has been running all night and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that going into June…this has been the coldest spring I can remember…so I won’t be outside on the bike until around noon or so…I’m glad I mowed the lawn yesterday so that leaves me only cleaning to do today as I ease into the day…I did get the 600 generic benadryls yesterday and tried one last night and they seem to work okay…my allergies have been so terrible lately that I needed to do something…the generic flonase that I ordered is not going to be here til next Tuesday but I need it now and that sucks…slept okay last night…finally…and didn’t get out of bed til 6 and slept through the night and after the 3am debacle of yesterday that is a welcome change…need to get moving soon to be on the bike downstairs before 7 but I sure don’t want to…just want to sit here and have coffee and let my body wake up…more later…
Officially a psychopath…
Well…with all of the clear evidence of the idiot trump’s mental decline, another psychologist has taken another tack to show people just how bad the idiot has become…or has always been…applying the Hare Psychopathic checklist he went over the 20 descriptors of psychopathic behavior with any score of 30 or above diagnosing that the person is a psychopath…and guess what the idiot trump scored? A 33…that makes how many times has he been diagnosed with this mental disability? Who knows, but I’ve seen 30 or 40 times since he called Mexicans rapists to start his first campaign…on thing Joe Biden wasn’t was a psychopath…we all agree that we could see his decline and he did the right thing and declined to run for a second term as everyone from the dem party put pressure on him not to run…where are the repubs who should be doing that to the idiot boy? They don’t care if they have a psychopath in the WH as long as they get their tax cuts for the rich…geez…
No problems with the brakes…
Well…dodged a bullet with the new car this morning when I found that the rear brakes were adjusted perfectly so I didn’t have to do any work but jack it up and turn the back wheels…I did get the chance to see under the car and it has no rust anywhere and the rear suspension is nothing like that of the old car…the old one was simple double wishbone front and rear but the new one is what looks like a 4 link of some sort that I’m still trying to figure out…damn, just mowed the lawn and it triggered my allergies so bad I’ve been coughing and sneezing for a half hour now…I sure hope the meds come today…it has been pretty busy today with an indoor ride, an outdoor ride, then over to the library, back here to mow the lawn and now lunch and then out for one more ride and I should be done other than laundry by 1pm or so…okay, need to make lunch….more later…
May 30th
Well…that really, really sucked…didn’t sleep at all last night…even went to be late but then was up at 3am and never really got back to sleep until I gave up at 5 and now I’m pouring coffee down trying to get my body started…need to work on the car today since I think the parking brake/rear calipers are adjusted too tight and are dragging so I need to pull the wheels and back the adjusters off a bit and then I can clean the wheels while I have them off…and that is going to push the trip to the library back to late morning and errands to this aft…and I may only do one ride today since my body just needs some rest but we’ll see how I feel after I get the work done…still damn cold here at 47 and we have not had a spring this year and that sucks…we’re almost to summer and still in the 40′s? Oh, well, not anything I can do about it…forgot to take the chicken out of the freezer for the Masala I want to make tomorrow so that may be put off til Sunday…have plenty of other food that I got from DD so no big deal…need to get on the bike by 6:30…or I really don’t need to but I’m getting bored already so I might just as well…my darn allergies are terrible this morning and I can’t wait for the meds to get here today….more later….
Ha, no tariffs…
Well…Just wanted to do a quickie on some breaking news on tariffs and the illegal imposing of them by the idiot trump…the US Court of International Trade just ruled that idiot boy doesn’t have the power to impose tariffs unilaterally so, as of this morning, all of the tariffs he slapped on the world are null and void…and it falls to the courts to save the country from this asshole since his own party is just fine with him doing whatever the hell he wants…and the court said that he was “permanently enjoined” from imposing tariffs meaning that he can’t do it again…so I’ll be watching this news today and I predict he will ignore this ruling like the idiot does with any ruling he doesn’t like…man, the kethup is going to be hitting the walls today…
May 29th
Well…another morning of waking up at 5 and I am trying to figure out the pattern of that and how it changes over time…at least it’s not 3:04 like it was for quite a while…just poured the first cup of coffee and need to get that down so I can get on the bike downstairs soon to get the day started…going to try to get 33 miles in again today before I leave to make the run out to Ada so that will make for a busy morning…I was reminded by one of my Mastodon friends that I described a pretty good day yesterday and when I look back, it was…so many food bargains and the good health news along with carving out some time to read made for a day that most people would love…and I realize that it was luxurious and I am fortunate…it is still cold out here at 51 and that is just wrong for the end of May and it’s barely going to get over 60 but that is still warm enough to put the top down on the car if I dress for it…so no shorts today and probably a fleece…and I need to get 6 new discs in the changer in the car for new music for the ride…I was going to say not much to do today but that’s not true…going to be running until I get in the car at 12:15 and I need to remember to eat something before I leave….more later…
Got some deals…
Well…it was an okay day today and I got some real deals at DD today…I mean a half pound of bacon for a buck? Or a 12 oz package of thin sliced mesquite smoked turkey for a buck? Or a 12 oz package of honey ham for a buck? They had their 10 for 10 bucks sale on and I spent 12 bucks on a huge bag of food…even got a package of mixed salami for a buck…pretty good deal…now I need to find room in the freezer for most of it…it didn’t rain while I was running errands this morning so I didn’t have to wash the car…I did get 33 miles in on the bike today but it was more of a struggle than I like…I’ll have to get on the bike early tomorrow to get the miles in before I head out to shoot pool at 1pm…and my friend K might just come for a bit and it would be good to see her since I haven’t seen her in almost two years…and then I can show her the new car, too….I did make the potato salad this aft and the eggs were okay…thought I overcooked the eggs but they were okay…and the red potatoes worked just fine…so again, I have too much food here but that’s okay…haven’t been eating enough and my clothes have started to hang on me…it’s finally raining here and we really need it but there’s nowhere near what they forecast…oh,well…back to reading…
Killing the travel industry…
Well….it’s official, the idiot trump has killed the travel industry in the US…travel to the US from everywhere is down 61%…and it’s all due to the idiot trump and his minions arresting and jailing tourists who are here legally…one woman from England was in jail for 17 days for the crime of coming here and spending her money…an with every country in the world now warning it’s people to not travel to the US, it’s only going to get worse…every airline in the world have cancelled at least half of their flights to the US and that is going to get worse, too and the tourist industry is never going to recover from it…just as his stupid trade policies are re-aligning the world without the US, his stupid immigration policies are going to leave a black hole where tourism used to be…and with it a million jobs will fall into that hole and disappear…when all this stupidity hits the economy, we’ll see a recession for sure…and it’s all idiot boy’s fault…geez…
