Well…it’s a Tuesday and I didn’t get anything done at all…after the 33 miles on the bike and doing the grocery run that is…okay, I did do laundry, too, so I guess I did get something done…the more I drive my new car, the more I like it…and it made the grocery run fun listening to Neil Young’s “Weld” disc two and turned it up loud enough to hear it in the car…had the top down and forgot to put the air blocker up but it was quiet and pretty still even at 80 on the e-way..it is so weird to not have to constantly check the coolant and fiddle with it like I did with the old one…still haven’t driven it with the top up but I need to go out to get a prescription tomorrow and it’s supposed to rain so I’ll see what it’s like…got to be a lot quieter than the old one and probably won’t leak…okay, need to read the last book for the week so I can get more later in the week…

Musk is the biggest “welfare queen”
Well…with reports coming out that ole elon and his doge stooges haven’t cut a dime out of government costs, lets have a little reminder that elon is the biggest welfare queen there has ever been when you include his companies…in fact neither Tesla or SpaceX would even exist without the tens of billions of dollars in government subsidies that both companies have gotten…and guess where that money comes from? Yeah, you know that…out of our pockets and that money could have been better used to say fund Head Start? Or build some new schools or give every kid in the country free school lunches? I have had enough of billionaires lapping up all of our tax dollars and making sure that everyone but them is a little poorer from it…geez…
May 13th
Well…the coffee needs to work right now if I’m going to get anything done today…it’s already 6:30 and I feel so damn worn out that it’s going to be a task to get started…I think I’m going to do the grocery run today just for the hell of it…the rain has moved through so I’ll be able to put the top down on the car and enjoy the trip…didn’t get a lot done yesterday so I’ll have to do better today…need to change out the bedding since I haven’t done that for a couple of weeks and it needs to be done more often than that..I wonder if I can take a day off anytime soon? Ha,ha…yeah, that’s not going to happen but it’s nice to think about…I may start the window cleaning today since they are really filled with dust and dirt…11 windows to be done and that normally takes a full day to complete…but I think I’ll break them up this year…or maybe not…who knows? Need to get my ass moving right now but I don’t know if I have the energy for it…this getting old crap is harder than it looks….more later…
Have the windows open…
Well…it’s over 80 here for the first time this year and I have the windows and porch door open to get some air flow going through here..got a ride in outdoors in just shorts and a t-shirt and rode through the condo complex again…there were a lot of riders out on bikes today and that was nice to see but they need to pay attention and follow the rules of the road…I did get the sticker and tab on the car and probably should drive it soon…I did finally get Meijers to refill one of my BP meds and will pick that up Wed…we may finally get some rain tonight and tomorrow and we can sure use it…hasn’t rained in over 3 weeks and everything is really dry…so I’ll probably wait til Thurs to mow again…I did get some yard stuff done and I need to put the trash out later after I start getting rid of stuff in the basement…okay, want to read a bit…
The idiot trump caves…
Well…of course trump caved and lifted most of the tariffs on Chinese goods and got nothing from China in return…this is what this moron does…disrupt the economy and then just slink away when China flatters him a bit…and here’s the thing, China got everything they wanted and that was getting rid of most of the tariffs…and I would like someone to explain to me what problem the tariffs were supposed to solve? With the idiot’s 4th grade understanding of how trade works, the only reason is he is trying to bully our trading partners and that sure as hell isn’t working…and now that he caved to China, the rest of the world is going to expect the same thing so all they have to do is wait him out as he tries to save face…so, I wonder how much weaker he can get? He’s already the weakest president in history…okay, and the dumbest…geez…
May 12th
Well…the pattern continues…up at 5am but today I was able to get back to sleep til almost 6:30 but that hasn’t helped how worn out I feel…and I need to get on the bike right now to get on schedule for the day…it is supposed t be our first day of 80+ temps so I may be able to open this place up and air it out today…but the first ride will be indoors since it is only 46 right now but then I should be able to get outdoors as soon as that is done…I think I’m due for an easy day of only two rides soon but the guilt won’t let me do that yet…need to figure out meals for the week but I really have no taste for anything…can make some chili dogs and bean burritos I guess but that is all food that is bad for me but at my age, I wonder if that means anything anymore? I have to get started selling the old car but that is not something I want to do right now…maybe I’ll just give the damn thing away and avoid having to deal with it…I do feel like I should be driving the new car but, as I’ve said before, it is pretty pathetic that I don’t have anywhere to go…not much to do today…just need to get moving to start but that needs more coffee and that takes time I don’t have…crap…more later…
Just can’t do it…
Well…have been wracking my brain all afternoon t come up with a political topic and haven’t been able to do it…oh, I could write about the 400 million dollar bribe that the idiot is going to take from the Qataris in the form of a customized Boeing 747 but I am just so damn tired if the idiot and writing about him so I won’t…so where does that leave me? Doing a filler for the first time in a long time…I just realized I haven’t driven the new car with the top up since I got it other than to load it on the ferry and that’s pretty cool…and even though the 6 disc in dash player is a little clunky, it’s nice to listen to entire albums again instead of playlists… and I have both cases filled with cds so I’ll have music for the entire summer…need to remember to put them in the car tomorrow along with the beach sticker and license plate tab…okay, want to go back to reading…
The trail is open…
Well…after a year of delays, the trail through the condo/marina complex is back open again and I rode through it today…not sure if I’ll be using it much, though, since it was busy even with no people in the condos yet…will probably just keep using the bypass so I can get some speed going…and it’s pretty narrow compared to the trail that was there before…I did get three rides in before noon again and now it’s 12:30 and I have some cleaning to do before the nascar race comes on at 3 or so…still have the weight work to do but that can be done when the race is on…and I do want to read some this aft, too, so I guess I should get off my butt and get working…more later…
May 11th
Well..damn, need to be on the indoor bike in 16 minutes and just dragged my ass out of bed…no coffee yet but I need to pour some down if I’m going to get a ride in before the MotoGP race at 7:30…it’s only 41 degrees outside right now so the outdoor rides are going to wait a bit…up at around 4 again today and I am so damn tired of it…might have to go back to the otc sleeping pills again but I haven’t needed them in years and I don’t want to do that if I don’t have to…but 4 hours of sleep a night is not enough…have to figure out meals for the next few days after I finish up the soup today…might make some bean burritos since I have all the ingredients for it…and I thawed some dogs for chili dogs so I do have options…yeah, I know…all bad for me but I’m tired of eating food that is good for me…just tired of eating in general with no teeth left to do it…the new car is just a little too big to clean it in the garage so the next time I’m going to back it out and do it in the driveway…could barely get in the doors without banging them into the grill or the studs…and I sure don’t want to do damage to it…not much to do today…need to get on the bike right now to get the indoor ride done by 7:30 but I am so damn tired of having discipline…want to just sit here and have more coffee but I won’t…more later…
Good runs on the bike today…
Well…it’s been a pretty easy day today but I did get three rides in for 33 miles today…and I did the full 24th gear sprint on the way back on both outdoor rides since the wind was at my back blowing 15 mph or so…I really do like going with the wind like that and I really pushed myself enough that I know I’m going to hurt tomorrow since I already do…even passed a couple on e bikes that I left like they were standing still…and I was grinning like an idiot the whole time…finished up all three rides before noon and haven’t done anything but clean a little since…I do need to get the beach window sticker and the new license tab on the car but that can wait since there is no damn way I’ll be going to the beach until the water is warm enough to swim…so it looks like tomorrow will be about the same with races and rides…I really do want to take the car out for a drive but I don’t really know where to go…and that’s a little pathetic…oh, well…
