Well…I wonder if I should call all of my days busy ones since that appears to be what they are now…sound like a broken record doing these things…today started off with having to run to the bank to pay my credit card bill since I didn’t get one in the mail and it was due next week…then on the bike for the first ride, then mowed the lawn, had a light lunch, then back on the bike for the second ride, then I planted the remaining 12 cups of veggie seedlings I had in cups outside… cleaned up after that and treated everything with fungus killer again but it looks like I’m going to lose more tomato plants…I did figure out what the line of plants are in the garden yesterday when tiny little radishes started appearing in the line…so I have radishes at least and am hoping that more stuff comes up…I did change out the mouthwash I’m using to see it that is the cause of me losing my sense of taste but it may take a while to see….it would be nice to taste something again…okay, need to read some news…
This is too funny…
Well…when the repubs took over the House this January, they promised to investigate everything about Joe Biden and his family for “reasons” and the loud mouth repub on the Oversight committee, James Comer, has been spouting of with speculation that it is going to be bad for Biden when he gets done, but even repubs are starting to say there is no “there” there…that he has no evidence of anything at all…so now he is saying that his “informant” who is going to blow the “investigation” wide open has disappeared and Comer’s excuse is that the “informant” is in the spy business and has gone dark but that’s to be expected because he is a spy…and now there is a report in the NY times that they haven’t uncovered anything at all…after 4 months of investigations…I wonder if the “informant” took it all with him when he disappeared? This is what you get when you vote for repubs folks…no damn work at all for the people of this country just more lies and wasted money…they have nothing and they know it…get your asses back to your job…geez…
May 15th
Well…damn, it only 38 degrees out there so that puts everything on hold until it warms up…and 38 degrees halfway through May? Still doesn’t feel like there is spring here yet and that sucks….idiots out here started up with their thump, thump bullshit yesterday morning at 8:30am so I had to make a noise call and that is pushing me to selling this place and getting the hell out of this shitty city….and that is too bad since I generally like it here and I will miss Lake Michigan…okay, the heat is on in the middle of May and that is just wrong….need to go out to the bank this morning to pay my credit card bill since they didn’t send one to me this month and it’s just one more little pain that I don’t want to deal with…I may swing through Meijers and Aldi’s to pick up their ads since I didn’t get the local paper this weekend…I could read them online and I may do that…we’ll see…not much to do today….it’s 7:20 and I can’t go to the bank til 9 so there is going to be some waiting this morning…and I’m not good with waiting….need to mow the lawn today but that won’t be til this afternoon with how wet it is….man, I’m tired…more later…
Fingers crossed for Turkey…
Well…this is a little far afield for what I normally do here…oh, no not really…Turkey is having it’s presidential election today with the good chance to rid themselves of Erdogan who has been in power there for 20 years and has taken the country farther and farther to the right as he had his political enemies locked up and supported Russia in it’s invasion of Ukraine…and this is the guy who has kept Sweden out of NATO for some reason and generally has screwed up Turkey’s economy to the benefit of himself and his cronies…so I really do hope that his challenger wins today and then maybe Turkey can start to restore it’s democracy and one more strong man hits the ash heap of history…geez…
May 14th
Well…man, I’m feeling so worn out today that it is going to be a struggle to get out on the bike today…I did get out to do a second ride but late in the day yesterday…it’s a bit strange to go out at 5:30 in the afternoon when there are lots of people on the trail…got up at 6:23 this morning but I feel like I didn’t sleep at all..what the hell is it with warts? Had one on my foot and now I have another on my left hand that I’m going to have to treat…weird…can I take a day off? I need to ride an extra 150 miles this week to make up for being off the bike for 5 days starting next Monday and 30 of those can be today if I drag my butt out and get on the bike…okay, there is no if…I’ll get out in a bit but I need more coffee first…didn’t get much done yesterday but plant some plants in the garden that the fungus is trying to destroy….need to treat it again today but that will be later…not sure what the food will be today but I have some leftover chicken and then I’ll look in the freezer for the second one…I do have some cheddar in the fridge so maybe I’ll make some chips and cheese for later…we’ll see…more later…
Got a ride in…
Well…the rain stopped this morning so I decided to get on the bike for at least one run today…but, if I get bored, I may get out later after the xfinity and Indy car race later…my right Achilles was stiff and sore all the way out to the beach and it is still sore right now…but it was nice being able to take the long sleeve t-shirt off for the run back from the beach…have been treat a plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for a couple of weeks now and I appear to be making progress with it…I can almost walk without pain so I need to keep treating it for another week or so….but right now, I just want to watch some of the race and veg a bit…
May 13th
Well…damn, it’s raining out there so I guess today is going to be my day off this week…up at 5 and out of bed before 7 since I was thinking that I was going to have to get on the bike by 7:30 to get two rides in by 10 when Man U plays…had a pretty crappy day with having to make 3 noise calls with the assholes to the north going after it again yesterday…and I am going to keep calling until they do something about it…and that colored my whole day and slid me into depression at the end of the day…pretty worn out today and sore everywhere again and I haven’t done anything to cause that…I think it’s sleep pain again and I don’t know what I can do about it…just got a “temps plummet” notification on my lower banner and I think we’re going from highs in the upper 70’s to mid 60’s and I’m okay with that…I’m giving up on the garden this year since I’m losing all of the tomatoes and peppers to fungus even though I treated them and I am just worn out trying to get it going…not much to do today…don’t have to cook with the leftovers in the fridge and the rain will keep me off the bike for a while…Man U plays at 10 and I think I’ll just sit here til then…more later…
CNN makes it worse…
Well…after the idiot trump debacle Wed night and the blowback that the network is getting for hand picking an audience of trump lovers and giving idiot boy and hour to spew his lies and hate, CNN makes it even worse with trotting some of their anchors out to defend the company’s choice of giving the idiot all that free time…and the worst was Anderson Cooper who blamed it all on the audience for not “getting” what CNN was going for by giving trump free air time…the same damn mistake that they have made since the start…trying to make money off the idiot by pushing every damn stupid thing he has said or done on a continuous loop…and no Anderson, the tv audience didn’t “learn” anything new from that hour of shit..after all they got the same tired bullshit the idiot boy trots out every time…all the lies and hate that he loves to dish out…and you should have learned by now there is no good reason to ever have the idiot on again…the ratings even sucked so you probably lost money for doing it…nice job! Geez…
May 12th
Well..it was supposed to be warm enough to go out on the bike in a t-shirt this morning but it’s only 53 out there and that’s no where near it…and there is rain coming in so I need to gulp the coffee and get out of here in the next 23 minutes to be able to get a ride in before the rain gets here…or do I just take it easy and relax for a change? Ha, that made me laugh…that’s not going to happen…I almost made it three days in a row of getting out of bed at 6:23 but didn’t get there…up at 6;07 today and I’m feeling pretty beat up with the normal pains and now adding sunburn on top of it…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to get the chicken thighs seasoned early so I can cook them today…not sure what I’m making with them but I have too much food in the fridge right now…I have a temps plummet warning on my lower banner right now and I am so tired of the cold…going to be 80 today and then down to 61 and that sucks…at least it’s not going to freeze…I think I have fungus in the garden sine the leaves on some of the tomatoes and beans are turning white so I treated them with the antifungal that I bought last year….not much to do today…just need to get on the bike before 7 to beat the rain and then I’m going to cook for lunch…not sure why since I can’t taste anything anymore…but I do need fuel…more later…
CNN used to be a news organization…
Well…after the debacle with CNN giving the idiot trump an hour to continue to lie and lie, with a hopped up MAGA audience who cheered sexual assault we now can say that CNN is no longer a news organization at all…it is just fox news lite and it is being ruined by the right wing asshole who bought it…just like they all do…like musk did with twitter and bezos did with WAPO, chris licht is followin the murdoch model that he used to ruin the WSJ and how the editors at the NYT are doing…making the news instead of reporting it…and that exactly what CNN’s new owner crowed to his staff after trump got done attacking and lying all night…the they “make the news”…and to me that makes it all opinion, not news…can we now start taxing the billionaires before they ruin anything else? geez…
