March 3rd

Well…darn, another day of accomplishments that I have to get going on here in 5 minutes or so but I just poured the first cup of coffee and I really want that to work before I get started…slept okay last night and didn’t crawl out of bed until 6:30 or so but still no dreams to speak of and I’m not sure why that is….when I sleep okay I normally have little snippets of them but it was just black last night…oh, well…I am going to finish up the door frame today and try to get an outdoor ride in but it is supposed to rain the next three days when it’s warm enough to ride outdoors and that sucks…but any time I can get out in March is unusual since there is always still ice everywhere…man, I feel worn out today even with only doing two rides yesterday and my allergies are off the charts…I feel so damn crappy today even with having two meals yesterday so getting going is going to be a struggle…but I don’t have to cook with lots of leftovers in the fridge…have to remember I have a green pepper for the chicken burritos and for the stir fry I’m making later in the week…damn, it’s snowing out here and I am so tired of it that it’s depressing me…oh, well…need to get moving…an I sure don’t want to…more later….

Took it easy today…

Well…damn I feel pretty guilty with only doing two rides today and having two meals….and I didn’t work on the frame at all but I’m going to finish it tomorrow along with getting  an outdoor ride in….I did start the Harlan Coben novel that he said not to read but it’s not bad…reminds me of my first novel that I wrote out on legal pads longhand…and it is pretty cool to see how it all started…when I find a new author that I like, I try to go back and find the first one they wrote to see how they’ve evolved over time…okay, this one is just to keep on pace with 3 posts I need to do every day….but I’m done for the day…

Zelenskyy embarrasses trump…

Well…just  a shorty on how badly Zelenskyy embarrassed the idiot trump in their meeting Friday..and that is boiled down to this quote…”Mr. trump, you are increasing the volume of your voice but not the logic of your argument” basically saying that the idiot yelling shows that he is stupid as shit and is out of his depth when dealing with a true statesman…and I am still laughing about that…and that is the reaction of the entire world…they are laughing at idiot boy as I’ve advocated for quite a while now…and he can bloviate all he wants and that is still the fact…what a maroon as the cartoons used to say…geez…

March 2nd

Well…damn, I’m running late this morning and need to get on the bike in 25 minutes to be able to get three rides in before Man U plays at 11:30…and the indy car race is on at noon and nascar later so there won’t be any work done today…and I didn’t have enough leftover coffee to even try to jumpstart my body so I had to make some pour over to get me going…woke up a little before 6 today but I tried to stay in bed for a while longer with no luck…and with only doing one meal yesterday, I’ll have an energy deficit that will last all day…it’s only 22 degrees out there but I looked at the 10 day weather and we are going to be getting to 56 next week and that is shorts and t-shirt weather on the bike…I am going to try to get outdoors tomorrow in full thermasuit just to see a few things and what has changed…I do need to do some service on the outdoor bike to get it ready…air in the tires and chain lube along with lubing the swing arm….not much to do today…and I really want a day like that but riding 24 miles is much to do and I don’t know how to do anything else….more later…

What a day…

Well…today did not start well…when I poured the first cup of coffee every morning, I like to hit it with a splash of milk just as I did today…but, I probably should have checked the milk since it went off overnight and I was pouring chunks…and the weird thing is that the coffee tasted normal and the chunks just sunk to the bottom of the cup and didn’t dissolve…still had to pour out a cup and that meant I was short a cup and I’m still feeling it right now 4:30pm…I did get three rides in, shoveled the snow…and yes, we got 4 inches more snow last night and it was only 17 degrees when I went out to shovel at 9:30…after that I went back down and got the third ride in and then baked bread and made Masala…didn’t get done with the cleanup until almost 2 pm and, with not eating until a little after one, I’m not making another meal today so that will be two days in a row of one meal so I will have to eat two tomorrow but I won’t have to cook…no work on the frame today and I’ll probably skip tomorrow too…need a day off…okay, more reading…

No fuel for you…

Well…after the trump shitshow in the WH yesterday, the fallout has started and this one made me laugh…one of the largest oil suppliers to US navy ships in Norway has said “no fuel for you” and has stopped selling oil to the US…and they pulled no punches saying explicitly that it is because of the treatment of Zelenskyy by the idiots trump and vance…and they are urging other counties to do the same and I’m pretty sure that boycott is going to be pretty popular since other countries have weighed in with support of the company…make it jet fuel next…no fuel for air force one…ha,ha

Shameful…

Well…I know I constantly harp about how shameful the actions of the idiot trump and his cronies are but it seems that every day they do dig the hole even deeper…so, I’ll say it again…if you thought they couldn’t get more shameful, you were wrong after their performance at a meeting with the Ukrainian president yesterday…where the idiot praised putin, attacked Zelenskyy, and told him that Ukraine was losing the war…it wasn’t even really a meeting but an ambush by idiot boy and vance to try to embarrass him to benefit putin and they kept spewing Russian taking points all day…and the idiot basically abandoned Ukraine and with that, made it clear to the world that you can’t depend on the US while the idiot is in charge and has done more to lower our standing in the world than even the last time…good job maga voters…geez…

March 1st

Well…another month starts and the hope that winter is over is getting closer to being a fact but the weather widget just said 2 inches of snow in 4 hours and that is depressing…oh, well…slept okay last night and didn’t get up once all night and that is pretty unusual but I still feel worn out as I always do but that is just from being old…one of the boards I bought for the trim was not straight and I thought I’d have to buy another one but I clamped it to my work table with my c-clamp and it appears straight enough to use and that is cool…it’s going to be another busy day today with getting the rides in, baking bread, and making Masala and that will all be done by noon…I did watch the Bob Dylan movie “A Complete Unknown” last night and it kept me interested through the whole thing and reminded me what a frickin talent he is…very cool…and I’ve seen him live in GR with Willie Nelson but it was pretty disappointing when he stood at the back of the stage and I couldn’t understand him at all…have about 25 minutes before I need to get on the bike but I need to have another cup of coffee first…more later…

Got one side of the frame done…

Well…got one side of the door frame done this afternoon and it came out pretty good…and I didn’t use any duct tape to do it…I think I’ll finish it up tomorrow or maybe not…who knows? I did make a chicken burrito for lunch and got the dough for more sourdough made and in the fridge to bake tomorrow morning…didn’t get out on the outdoor bike today with the gale warning that was on all day and but I did get three rides in indoors to make it to over 1,300 miles so far this year and that’s not bad for two months of all indoor riding…it looks like I’ll be able to ride outside Monday and Tuesday of next week and start piling the miles on out there…ran out of leftovers today so I only had the one meal for lunch and I’m okay with that…need to get back to losing weight again…okay…need to get back to reading for a bit…

Canadian “snowbirds” getting the hell out…

Well…here’s an unintended consequence of the bully in chief constantly attacking Canada…it appears that Canadians who own second homes in the sun belt are selling their houses at a rate never seen before…and every damn one of them says that getting away from the idiot trump is the reason…and idiot boy just said the other day that he wants to put an additional tax on foreign ownership of houses here up to 50% of the value of the property…so the smart Canadians want no part of idiot boy stealing 50% of the equity they have built up over the years and are bailing out before that happens…and it’s not just those threats that have started the stampede, it the general idea of trump and his minions and the damage they have done to US society, making it more coarse and hateful and the Canadians just don’t need to put up with that bullshit like we US citizens do…oh, on last thing…tesla shares have crashed 35% over the past week taking the valuation of the company down from 1.5 trillion down to 900 billion and people are losing their shirts especially elon and he has only himself to blame stupid bastard…geez…

What you never want to be….
