Well…just wanted to do a short one on how I’m feeling right now…still feel pretty crappy today with just no energy and a huge headache that I’ve had for a few days now….I think I’m going to try taking something for the head here in a few minutes since it is so annoying…I did get the oil changed in the car this morning and it added almost 25 psi at idle so that was cool…and the oil that I use was on sale at Meijers this week…only 20 bucks for the 4 quarts I needed…I did look for the oil at the parts store but they want almost 9 bucks more for the same 4 quarts….the filter that I replaced felt like it weighed about 2 pounds with all of the dirt in it….so, it’s good I got that done today….probably won’t do much else today….just too fatigued…

I have a question…
Well..with the tragedy that happened off Japan the other day with one of our destroyers colliding with a container ship resulting in the death of 7 American sailors, I have one question: how the heck did the collision happen? The modern American destroyer has one of the worlds most powerful radars on it that can track hundreds of targets at once…how did they miss something as huge as a modern container ship? There has to be more to this story that I won’t speculate on until the investigation is over….just curious, I guess….
June 19th
Well…not feeling too hot today and I know it’s that little but I’ve had the past few days…my entire system is just a little off and that is a little annoying…slept okay last night but still don’t have a lot of energy today so I think I’ll just take it easy today…was going to change the oil in the car but just don’t feel like it…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and it looks the same today….might even take the day off the bike today with how I feel….only heard from two of the kids yesterday and that is a little annoying, too….oh, well…need to get some coffee and read a little news…more later….
I am outraged….
Well…have been trying to keep the idiot trump out of my mind today but something I just read has pushed my outrage meter to 13….if you already didn’t know, there was a collision the other day between a container ship and one of our destroyers off the coast of Japan….and there were 7 sailors missing who have just been found dead in a flooded compartment of the ship. What was the supposed commander in chiefs response? This:
“The new Rasmussen poll, one of the most accurate in the 2016 election, Just out with a trump 50% approval rating. That’s higher than O’s#’s”…
No sympathy for the families of the fallen, no empathy for their crewmates, just bullshit puffery from the idiot in chief…and this idiot was briefed on the deaths this morning…but just can’t be bothered to think about anything but himself…..if this doesn’t get you as outraged as I am…you must be one of the idiots that voted this idiot into office…impeach…
Father’s Day…
Well….had a few thoughts when I was out on the bike today about Father’s day…nothing earth shattering but just some thoughts…it’s been almost 50 years since my father died at only 56 years old…younger than I am now and that has always been strange to me…I wonder if he thought about the same kinds of things that I do at this age? Not sure since I really didn’t know him…with 9 kids, there really wasn’t a lot of one on one time…and you just didn’t talk much back then….I only really remember a couple of interactions with him…once, when I was around 10, he took me to his work at Associated Truck Lines and showed me some trailers that had the tops peeled back from hitting the underside of an overpass…and one other time, I was scheduled to pitch for my little league team and he grabbed a glove and warmed me up before I left for the field…I really didn’t know it at the time but now I remember that I really tried to impress him by throwing as hard as I could…and I could throw back then…until I hurt my shoulder…and I still have that pain to this day. Haven’t heard from any of my four yet today…but, I never wanted for any of them to make a big deal of the day…it’s really just Sunday to me….
June 18th
Well…running a little late today…almost forgot to go out and get the paper this morning…the days just run together and I forgot it was Sunday….the sore throat is gone today…okay, not all the way…but it is better than yesterday but I still feel the bug so maybe today will be a rest day…the wind is already blowing pretty hard so that will be a factor in deciding whether or not to go out on the bike….okay…my throat is not better…it is closed up some and I have just started to sweat again and all I’m doing is sitting here….but it smells so nice out there that I want to get on the bike…I do need to change the oil in the car this week and I got my check back from the state so I can afford it now…not much to do today….and that is true this time…just going to wing it and take it easy….more later….
Not feeling too hot…
Well…have been sitting here trying to figure out why I’ve felt so crappy all day today and about 10 minutes ago, I figured it out when my throat started to get sore…so, it’s not the cocktails…it’s a bug of some sort…I wonder if I got this one from T when we had lunch last week…if it is the same one, I can now understand why she was so exhausted….and I hope it doesn’t get too much worse…have had terrible headaches all day, too so I think I’ll take something for it here in a little while…and I think I’ll blame the bug for not doing a political one today…and the idiot trump is off on vacation, again, so there’s nothing to talk about there….
June 17th
Well…running late today and I just can’t get started….got up early so that’s not it….oh, well…I did win at pool yesterday but Tom put an 8 in on the break and that is much cooler….had to take some allergy meds last night with the bad headache I had and it is starting again this morning so there may be more today…have three left so that should get me through the weekend…..didn’t get anything else done yesterday so I should do some cleaning today…just watched a show comparing the 4 generations of the Miata and the first gen model, like mine, won the comparison…that’s pretty cool….the 24 hours of LeMans is on in a few minutes and that will burn a lot of my data for the month but I do need to watch it…..okay…need more coffee so I’ll end here….more later….
June 16th
Well…running a little late today…and feel pretty crappy after having a cocktail night…yeah, I know….was supposed to wait until tonight but I’m just so bored that I needed to….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but I’m thinking about skipping today…I need a recovery day for my legs since they were flat yesterday….slept okay last night but woke up sore everywhere and the sunburn is itching so I am a little miserable today….didn’t get the kitchen cleaned yesterday and won’t today with pool this aft…and I am going to go look for a new pair of shoes since Kohl’s has them 50% off….the ones I’m using now are starting to look worn….okay…need to have coffee and decide whether to get on the bike or not…more later….
Pence lawyers up….
Well…I just read (with some glee, I must add) that the supposed “straight shooter” Mike Pence has just hired outside counsel to defend him in both the Russia collusion case and his part in the obstruction of justice that is engulfing the idiot trump and his cronies. Now, let’s think back to the campaign and all of the cheers of “lock her up” that came from Pence and the rest of the trump campaign saying that a Clinton administration would be the most corrupt in history…just like they always slurred Obama and his administration with. Look at the facts….not one of Obama’s people lawyered up in the first 5 months of his presidency…no one in his campaign was under investigation in the first 5 months of his presidency…and neither was Obama. So, who is the most corrupt? The idiot trump and his cronies win this one….and Pence now knows his tenure as VP is in danger…let’s get the perp walks started…impeach….
