Well…not going to go into it much but I was right in the post yesterday that I removed….things end.
But, I have some rainbow trout and chicken in the brine to try to smoke tomorrow for the first time on the new grill…going to use cherry wood chips but probably should have used apple…but, who knows? I guess I need to start trying a few things and see which one works the best for the mood of the day…I may even have to have a beer while I’m cooking which I never do during the day…still am trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…driving me frickin crazy…. but we’ll see again tomorrow…I am looking forward to the Wings game later but I still need to nap so I can at least get through the first perlod….
Well…I had been watching the SC house race with Mark Sandford with some interest and also with some incredulity since he was so close through the race. I can’t understand…no, let’s change that…I do understand how his getting elected could happen…it is the same cynical political crap that runs through the repub party….everyone should be held to a high standard when running for office unless it is a repub…and we see the worst of this crap here….we have ole Mark…the cheater, the liar, the thief, the trespasser running on a platform of family values and the ignorant masses in SC only seeing that he is against the black man in the WH…what a bunch of hypocrites the repubs are these days…so, the next time they say a word about the foibles of any dem…just repeat Sandford, Sandford, Sandford, over and over again until it becomes a mantra….I know SC deserves this idiot…but why do the sane among us have to put up with his crap?….geez…
Well….it was a day yesterday and I really didn’t do much…had to work on the bike to try to get the annoying squeak out of the seat post and hopefully that will be fixed when I take it out this morning….I do like the new handgrips…way less pain and numbness in my hands when I get done and they are very comfortable….I did sleep pretty crappy last night but there was a dream that I had to wake up from since there was not going to be a good outcome….and I will have to get a nap in today since the Wings game doesn’t start until 10 and I would like to see some of it….I did get a bunch of paperwork out to a recruiter but don’t really expect to have anything come from it….I do need to make the grocery run today since I am out of food and then run a few more errands….going to try to smoke some fish tomorrow and need the wood chips etc for it….more later….
Well…the mourning period is over and I do need to get done with a political one….so that’s what I’ll do…I find it heartening that the poll numbers of all of the repubs that voted against sensible background check legislation have hit the tank with drops of 10 to 20% and the spin has started with the idiot Kelley Ayotte trying to lie her way out by saying she voted for the legislation…and that is a big lie…what the hell do they expect when 90% of the country is for the legislation and the repubs ignored their constituents to vote for their owners at the NRA….
The purge continues across the country when any repub comes out in favor of all citizens having the same rights whether they are gay or not, or they are brown or black….I think the repubs should enjoy this next two years since they are setting themselves up for being the permanent minority party…and we need to help them along at the state level, especially here in Michigan so we can repair the damage these thugs are doing here…okay…that’s enough for now…not feeling it really, but I gave it a try…
Well…running really late today and I have a reason today…had a bunch of forms to fill out for a recruiter that may be finding me a job so I guess that is a good use for the time…I di have a good day yesterday with getting this place cleaned up and then having my son come over to watch the Wings game…that we won in overtime…yay! I was good last night but stayed up really late since the game went late and then I couldn’t sleep. There were dreams of the Miata not starting and I do need to stop reading the forums out there…I do think I need to bleed the clutch with that one incidence of the pedal going to the floor and check for leaks although the cylinder is full…I am getting excited about trying out my new handgrips on the bike so I’m going to go do that now…more later…
Well…have been working around here all day to make the place presentable since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings…and, the place really did need it so that’s okay….I did do a little work on the bike today…just got so tired of the grips being worn out and turning to jelly and having to keep pushing them back on all the time that I bought a new set today…a really cool set of gels that are supposedly ergonomically correct….put them on and they look pretty cool…and the neat thing was that Meijers had the ones that I have been looking at online and for the same price…so, we’ll see how they work when I get the ride in tomorrow….and, I bought some white lithium grease to see if that will help me get rid of the squeak in the seat post…that is annoying as hell….we’ll see….
Well…have been having little snippets of news percolate over the past few days and the result is finally clear…the repubs are officially nuts…this whole thing started with the NRA convention and the suggestion from one of the speakers that the best place to store your guns is in the kids room since that is the place you will run to when the big, bad boogieman breaks into your house…and that is going to happen next week so you better get to it….next, at the same convention of the delusional, we have another one of the “brains” there organizing an armed march on DC where he wants all of the “patriots” to bring their loaded assault rifles and march into the city to provoke an armed response so it will justify the “armed revolution” that these idiots just know is coming….and, this morning, I read of a poll that shows that more than 44% of repubs think that an armed revolution will be necessary in the next few years to protect their “liberties”…but not one of these abject morons could name one liberty that has been taken away….what the hell is it with these people? Are they just too stupid to know that all of this crap is just nonsense? I do hope these folks march on DC and every one of them is arrested…then they will have a felony on their records and can no longer own guns…crazy like this just shouldn’t be armed…geez…
Well…it was a day yesterday and I was completely lazy so I didn’t come back for another one and now I’m feeling guilty about that…and I have to clean this place up since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings game tonight and that should take all day….slept okay last night but the temp in here was marginal since I forgot to put the heat back on….probably should go out and get some snacks and beer for tonight but I need to work out first and get the bike ride in…so I probably should get to it…more later…
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had some money come in so that perked me up a bit…it was a cocktail night that got out of hand so I feel a little crappy today…nope, a lot crappy so this one is going to be short for now….I do need to get out on the bike before Man U comes on at 10 but I just can’t get to enthused about it…slept okay but no dreams…okay…not feeling it….back later for more…
Okay…have started to feel normal for me so I thought I’d come back for a little more…there was a weird thing that happened this morning leaving for the ride…there was a stupid duck just standing in the middle of the road quacking at me, cars, and anything else that went by…kind of strange…I did get the ride in and felt much better afterward…and I made lunch and now the napcar race is on and that appears to be my only ambition for today..I do have an idea for another one so I may come back for it later…
Well…just haven’t been able to get outraged enough to do some political ones so I thought I’d just do this…again….out on the bike today early since it was over 60 at 9am and the weirdness was out in full force…just like last year, the squirrels are going crazy again and shooting themselves all over the trails…well..not with guns…although that would be cool to see…but they were blasting out of the underbrush and it looked like they were trying to get run over…I counted 22 of them in the 15 miles I did this morning and it gave me such a laugh that I am still laughing just thinking about it…I just can’t believe that it would be coincidence that so many of them would do that in one day…wonder if it’s a mating thing or something for spring? Whatever it is…it was fun to watch…
