Well…running late for the second one today since I had some errands to run this morning, made a homemade pizza for lunch, and then got a bike ride in which left me really, really sore…and now I’m having a problem trying to decide what to write about since there are so many topics with the crazy assed things that are going on in the world. First thing…I wonder what the hell is wrong with trump and the repubs when idiot boy goes off on John McCain in a speech and says that he “allowed” McCain’s funeral to happen when he had not one damn thing to do with it…and not one repub has said one word about how sick it is for trump to continue to slander McCain…after all, he is dead and has been for a while now and it just shows how small and petty trump is…but, we all know that….and I think we are all damn tired of hearing about it….so, I won’t talk about it…at least anymore today…MSU is playing in the tournament and I want to watch it….

March 21st
Well…running really late this morning and just can’t get going…the grocery run was a chore and I’m glad that it was the only thing I have to do today…other than getting out on the bike later…I did get out yesterday but it started raining about halfway through the ride and, at 41 degrees, it was not too pleasant…but, I survived it and I am getting used to being outdoors again…slept okay last night but my head is plugged up again and it must be the allergies and that is a little disappointing that it is starting so early this year…I did get the chance to get out to have a couple with K yesterday and that was fun…haven’t been out for any fun in quite a while and I do need to start finding other things to do…didn’t get much done yesterday but run a couple of errands and I don’t really feel like doing much today…so far, anyway…but, I am only on the first cup of coffee so that may change as I get more in me…more later….
Devin Nunes is such a snowflake…
Well…I think we were all amused with the antics that Devin Nunes showed when he was twisting himself into knots protecting trump from any oversight when the repubs controlled the House…other than the fact that he was protecting the biggest criminal to ever infest government…and, over the past few days, we have seen even more from the biggest snowflake in the House when his fee fees were hurt by parody twitter accounts called Devin Nunes’ Mom, and Devin Nunes’ Cow whose sole purpose is to make fun of the idiot’s behavior. Now, in about of the most snow flakey behavior I have ever seen, ole Devin has sued twitter and these two accounts for 250 million dollars alleging “emotional distress” from having these accounts make fun of his stupid behavior….now, as we see every day, the repubs don’t know what’s in the constitution and really don’t care…but this one just makes me laugh since a public figure is fair game to ridicule for his behavior, or his looks, or anything else that satirists decide is funny at the time…it’s not up to Nunes to decide what other people can say about him…so, this suit is going to explode and probably kill a judge from laughter if it ever even gets to court. One unintended consequence the ole Devin didn’t plan on was that, with his help, the devincow twitter account now has more followers than he does…and that means that instead of silencing it, the idiot Devin has just made sure that more and more people will know just how ridiculous he is….poor, poor snowflake…
March 20th
Well…I think I’m about on time this morning and didn’t get up until after 6 for the final time so I guess that’s something…still feel exhausted and I’m not sure what the reason is for it…not sure if I ate enough yesterday and that may be part of it….had a short, 15 minute nap yesterday afternoon that did wonders for my energy level but that only lasted about an hour until I went back to feeling run down again…weird…I did get a bike ride in outdoors but I may have taken it off the trainer too early with the cold and rain coming back today so I think I’ll try to figure out how long it takes to put it back on to be able to ride every day either inside or out…will have to just keep track of how many rides I do so I can keep track of the mileage…not going to move the computer pickup back to the back wheel since that is a pain….not much to do today…I do have a couple of errands to run to get some 79 cents a pound chicken and some 3.99 a pound salmon but that is about it….and I need to cook today since all of the leftovers are gone…think I’ll use up the pizza ingredients and make another one of those for lunch…and I may clean a little but we’ll see….more later…
First ride outside…
Well…with the weather’s gradual change and it being warm enough melt some of the snow, I finally got out on the trail for an outdoor ride today and it was a little weird being out in the elements again….and actually moving with the bike was a little unnerving at first…it’s seems like I need to reprogram my balance since doing over 500 miles with the bike anchored to the trainer has regressed it to the point where I have to think about it….I found myself sliding back into not paying enough attention to the hazards on the trail since I didn’t have to really pay any attention at all riding indoors…with that said, one good thing that made me laugh a little was that it was much, much easier to ride with the bike moving…even on my long uphill sprint it was still easier than the lowest resistance setting on the trainer and my legs felt supercharged through the entire 12 miles…one thing I had forgotten was the effect of the wind…crosswinds almost caught me off guard a couple of times and pushed me around a lot…something that I think will get better as I get out there more…I really do like the effect of riding outdoors and being able to see some things for a change….I hope the weather cooperates and that can continue….
It’s all pretty simple…
Well…if you’ve seen the news at all lately, you’ve seen the idiot trump’s meltdown over the weekend and everyone is trying to figure out why now? I have an idea and it appears to be connected to the latest bombshell that Deutsche bank is being investigated and is cooperating with at least two congressional committees, and various NY prosecutors who are looking into the trump attempt get Deutsche to lend him money to buy the Buffalo Bills. The undercurrent here is that trump regularly inflated and deflated his net worth to get loans and not pay taxes and that is part of what is going on…but, the big question that came up yesterday in the news was “why did Deutsche Bank continue to loans money (to the tune of over 2 billion dollars) to idiot boy after the had already defaulted on at least one loan from them along with a bond issue that Deutsche underwrote? Now, I think it’s all pretty simple why they did it…the Russian oligarchs who were using Deutsche to launder money made them a boatload of cash while doing it told them to…and trump was one of their most important conspirators here in the US and the Russians needed to keep him afloat to continue the scheme…after all, if he went bankrupt again and lost all of his properties, the new owners probably wouldn’t allow the Russians to continue to buy condos etc. which is the preferred method of laundering money into the US. So we really do know why trump is freaking out…the noose is closing and he knows it…and there is not a damn thing he can do about the state charges of bank and income tax fraud that he is staring down the barrel at…cripes, at this point, the Mueller investigation is looking more and more like it just may be irrelevant in taking down trump…it will be nice for understanding how the Russians stole the election for trump, but not necessary to ensure that trump spends the rest of his life in prison after he is gone…impeach….
March 19th
Well…up early again this morning but I’m not going to bitch about that today…maybe tomorrow, but not today….after all, it could get worse tomorrow and I need to save my bitching for those days…I do feel pretty worn out this morning and I guess that is from not getting too much sleep for months now…I did work out yesterday and it is a little comical how much noise my shoulder makes after not doing it for a few days…I think I’ll try that again this morning since I want to see if it will tolerate more weight work or if I do need to alternate days off…I did take the bike off the trainer yesterday and may have been a mistake since the weather report has changed overnight with the highs being lower than they were….so, instead of shorts, I’ll be going out today in a light thermasuit and gloves but I will be able to avoid a stocking hat and that makes the ride for me….I guess I can put the bike back on the trainer but I’ll lose any mileage I do indoors since I am not going to move the computer back to the back wheel…I’ll just have to miss the indoor mileage or skip the rainy days altogether…we’ll see…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but convert the bike and get the workout in and today will be much the same…I am going to have to figure out what to do with my mornings now that I am going to be riding in the afternoon and that may add to my boredom but who knows? More later…
546.7 miles…
Well…just finished getting the bike ready to go out on the trails tomorrow…the riding inside has gotten me a start of 546.7 miles inside to start the year and that is probably the most I’ve ever had before April…but, I’ll start piling the miles on tomorrow with the short rides being almost 11 miles…the two 20 minute rides indoors only got me about 8 miles a day and it was a lot of work…I’ve put almost an inch and a half on my thighs since the start of the year and I really do hope they go back to where they were since I don’t like the way my jeans fit anymore….and I don’t really like the way they look, either, so any change will be welcome….it is going to be kind of new to have to deal with the cold and rain again but it will be nice to actually see something other than the 4 walls here…
March 18th
Well…I really, really don’t like 5:34…I like 4:34 even less but today at least I got past 5…I suppose that’s something…slept okay last night and there was progress with my shoulder again and I have no pain at all right now for the first time since I hurt it back in December….okay…nope, it still hurts….I died sleep on it last night and it didn’t wake me ups so I guess that’s something…and I feel like I’ve said that before…exactly the same way…hmmmm….didn’t get a lot done yesterday with sports starting at 6 am and continuing through most of the day but I didn’t get a nap in and I should have….have some stomach problems yesterday for the fist time in quite a while and I think it was from not eating enough…only had two pieces of leftover pizza and a salad for the entire day yesterday and I am already feeling that this morning….but, I didn’t ride the bike and that is necessary on off days to balance out the calorie intake and use…I will make up for that today with two rides and a workout so I think I can avoid feeling guilty….and it looks like I’ll be back on the trails tomorrow if the temp gets to what’s forecast….not going to move the computer pickup yet, though…I’ll need to recon the trails to see if there is still ice from the snowmelt first before I put the trainer away for the spring….more later…
Trump’s freaking out…
Well…as most of you are, I’m just damn tired of the supposed president going off on his twitter freak outs…look, every frickin time he does it, he demeans and diminishes the office so the entire world is now laughing at us…and I would probably laugh at the baby in chief, too, if it wasn’t so damn serious. This weekend, idiot boy has been on a deranged twitter rant almost all weekend, attacking Saturday Night Live and threatening them with an FCC investigation, going after the deceased John McCain for turning the Steele dossier over to the FBI, going after both GM and the UAW for GM’s closing of the Lordstown plant and threatening to take the plant away from them and give it to “new car companies who are flooding into the US”…and that has continued all day with idiot boy ranting away about his approval rating and Hillary for some reason. Now, does anyone else see a pattern with this behavior? Every time idiot boy has gotten some bad news that is going to be revealed soon, he goes off on these crazy assed rants…trying to distract everyone from what is coming and trying to get the media talking about anything else. What’s different now is exactly what I’m saying…more people than me have noticed his so predictable pattern and it has started to override the noise coming from trump to the point that the rants do nothing but get ridiculed and have less effect every time…I can’t wait to see what the new piece of information is that has idiot boy so freaked out….impeach…
