Well…up at 5 am again today and I’m really not sure why…I mean I’m working my ass off to get things done and it should tire me out but it’s not…so I sit here before 6am trying to figure out my day and I think I have a plan…not going to skip the indoor ride like yesterday since it really does jump start my day and gets me going…I had a hard time getting going yesterday without it and don’t want to do that again…going to be eating some bad for me food the next few days and I don’t really care…going to make chips and cheese and some sandwiches with ham and turkey I got yesterday…and maybe some bean burritos…who knows? I do have to be at the SoS office at 1:40 to get the paperwork for the car done and that is going to cost around 900 bucks but then I’m done and I’m going to enjoy getting that done and the car officially mine…then I need to go to the library to get a couple more books to tide me over into next week…I did get the lawn mowed yesterday and I need to run the string trimmer to get the yard finished up but that won’t be til tomorrow…so, not a lot of urgency to get going today and I can have more coffee and ease into it…more later…
What a moron…
Well…you know, I am getting tired of the moron in the WH speaking for the country…especially when he makes no damn sense at all…when meeting with the Canadian PM, idiot boy downplayed the effect of the tariffs on trade with Canada saying that we do “a little trade” with Canada…and he is too stupid to understand that Canada is our biggest trading partner with the US importing 412 billion dollars total last year…and then the moron went on to brag that he “fixed” California’s water problems by flushing water out to sea…I wonder if he made it rain and snow, too? That is why their water problems have lessened not anything the moron in chief did…and he pushed the PM about the whole 51st state nonsense and the PM just sat there looking at him probably wondering why he was wasting his time with idiot boy…geez…
May 7th
Well…up at 4:14 this morning but was able to go back to sleep til 6:35 and that makes me late for the whole day…need to get on the bike in 9 minutes to get out for the grocery run by 8am and I sure don’t want to…just poured the first cup of coffee and that means it won’t be working until halfway through the indoor ride…and I think I’ll need to make some pour over coffee today since there is only one cup left in the pot…going to put the top down on the new car for the run out this morning even with it cold enough to have the heat on…and why the hell is it that cold in May? Didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I need to do more today….have laundry and cleaning to do today but don’t have to cook with making the potato soup yesterday…and I have an open jar of pasta sauce so I should make some of that in the next few days…need to start planning the work that I need to get done on the house and yard but I don’t feel like it right now…I wonder if I can skip the indoor ride this morning and just sit here until I have to go out? That would leave me with only 25 miles and that should be enough but with my warped brain I think of it as a slacker day…it is sunny here and it hasn’t rained in weeks…and it’s not going to for at least the next 10 days and that sucks…oh, well…more later…
Not as busy tday…
Well…I finally got the chance to read a bit today after no being as busy as I have been lately…just did the three rides and then made a batch of potato soup and I’m gad I decided to smell the milk before I started thickening it since it had started to go off and it would have ruined the soup…don’t have a lot to do the rest of the day so I’m going back to reading here in a minute…tomorrow will be busier with doing the grocery run along with stopping at Menards for more weed killer and some injector cleaner for the car… and I’m hoping that it will be warm enough for a top down run…then three rides..I did go over 3,000 miles on the bikes this weekend and that isn’t a goal for the year…the only goal left is to keep riding every day for as long as I can…already up to 565 days from October 19th 2023 to now…okay, time to read…
What a whiner…
Well…the developer of the Adelaide Point condos had a meltdown this past weekend and resigned as CEO of the company…and the reason is so typical repub bullshit…he really feels that environmental laws don’t apply to him so he can do whatever he wants…and he tried to get the idiot trump to intervene and overrule Michigan’s Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy who cited the project with multiple environmental violations…and he goes on to whine that they have done so much for Muskegon and basically says that should make them immune to criticism or regulation…and he goes on to say that the people of Muskegon have half the education and income of the rest of the state…why the hell he would say that, I don’t know but it smells like just another rich person looking down on anyone who isn’t…I’ve talked to this guy multiple times and thought he was a pretty nice guy…I guess I was wrong…geez…
May 6th
Well…that was better…woke up at around 4…again…but this time I was able to fall back asleep til almost 6:30 and that is a win in my book…but I’m still pretty darn worn out…and I think I’ll ease into this day with coffee and more coffee…haven’t made pour over coffee in weeks and I think I need to make some soon…need to eat more, too…since my face is starting to look too thin but part of that is the missing molars and there is nothing I can do about that…the heat is still coming on in May and that sucks and I wonder when that is going to stop? Not much of a spring this year and that sucks, too…I do need to do the week walk today to keep the damn weeds from killing the grass like they did last year…and I need to get some grass seed in the bare spots…the bucket garden is not working for the tomatoes and I’m about ready to give up on them…oh, well…need to get on the indoor bike here in a minute but I am going to have the second cup of coffee first…then an indoor ride and two outdoor and I’m not sure if I’ll have any time to read today…still have two books to read this week and could really use a day off to do it…ha,ha…that’s not going to happen…more later…
Went backward a decade…or more…
Well…since the stereo in the new car doesn’t have an 1/8th inch input to hook my mp3 player to, I had to go back a decade or more to dig up my old cd cases and cds and will put them in the car…I did listen to a couple on the way out and back today and even though it’s clunky it sounded good and it will give me the opportunity to listen to entire albums again when I’m not listening to the radio…and I can live with that…and with the two cases I dug up, I have about 40 cds and that will be enough…it was kind of cool to have cruise control on the new car and with the controls on the steering wheel, it makes it pretty darn convenient along with the stereo controls on there…so yes, even if I paid a lot of money for the car I think it is really worth it and I don’t have to think about another car the rest of my life…and that takes a big load off…
They’ve given us a roadmap..
Well…with the chaos and destruction being levied on the country by the idiot trump and his minions, One thing people are missing is that those morons have given us the roadmap we need to build new guardrails that will HAVE to be followed when we retake the government and that starts with say maybe laws that reign in the executive branch with a simple law that says executive orders are not laws and can’t be used to run the government into the ground and any time an EO conflicts with a congress passed law, the law will be supreme…all of the things idiot boy is doing with EO’s is blatantly unconstitutional and the courts should be shutting this whole set of bullshit down but we know we can’t get that until we reform the supreme court in January 2027…and that should be the #1 thing we do…reform all the courts…but past that, we should be planning everything right now for when we take the WH back in 29…get moving , dems…
May 5th
Well…I really hate being up at 5:14 in the morning…and my damn right thumb is split again and hurts like crazy…and I’m going to aggravate it with the outdoor rides and shifting with that thumb…man, I really hate getting old…it’s going to be a busy day today with hitting the SoS and spending a thousand bucks to get everything transferred and legal…and then I need to run a couple of errands before I get the one outdoor ride in and after that I’ll need to think about making a run to GR to show the car to Tom…still haven’t driven the car other than the 3 miles from the dock to here so it will be a nice shakedown run…it’s supposed to be 60 or so today so it will be a top down run and I can’t wait to see how the wind blocker works and how the top latches down…going to use the cruise control with the buttons on the steering wheel that also has the stereo controls on it so I’ll have something to play with…damn, need to get on the bike by 7 and that is coming up pretty fast…more coffee…I guess I should get moving…more later…
Washed and waxed the car…
Well…wasn’t really going to do much today but after getting the rides in but I went out to look for the trunk and gas door release and felt that car can really use a wax job but it had to be washed first…so I washed and waxed it with the instant spray wax and now it is slippery and really shiny…and there are only a couple of scratches on the whole car which isn’t bad for a 17 year old car…and I noticed that the battery is under the hood and not in the trunk like the 94…and I am amazed at how far back the engine is in this one…there has to be 2 1/2 feet from the front of the car to the front of the engine…and the whole thing is behind the centerline of the front wheels…it’s like a front engine, mid engine car…so tomorrow I go out and spend a thousand bucks at the SoS to get everything done…even going to renew the plates since they sent that to me a couple of days ago…okay, race time…
