Well…that sucks…was going to be good and get out on the bike for the second ride…it appeared that the wind had died down a bit from this morning and the showers had ended…but as soon as I got out to the street, I got whacked by about the same wind as this morning and by the time I got a hundred yards it started to rain and it’s just too damn cold to get wet today…so I gave up and here I am…and it is pretty black to the west and it looks like I’d be under the cloud all the way out to the beach….just don’t have it in me today to take all of the abuse that another ride would heap on me….and tomorrow is looking cold until almost noon since I don’t want to put long pants on to ride yet, I have to wait until it gets over 50…I did get the combustion blower on the furnace lubed this afternoon…with the low tonight getting down to 43 and the inside of the house only needing to go down 3 degrees until it hits 65 and the furnace starts, I needed to make sure it was ready….but I didn’t do anything else….didn’t eat enough yesterday with just a salad and a chicken leg quarter for the whole day and I’ve been feeling a little crappy today…so I think I can eat two meals even with only riding once….will still be under 1,000 calories for the day even with that….we’ll see….
Do we dare hope?
Well…with the announcement yesterday of the huge lawsuit filed in NY and the appeals court smacking down the trump judge in the classified document theft case, do we dare hope that finally, after getting away with crimes for the past 50 years, that trump and his demon spawn are going to be held accountable? It sure looks that way but I won’t be sure of that until they are all perp walked and in jail….I did have a laugh yesterday when the idiot went on hannity’s show and didn’t make a bit of sense…just a huge word salad of his greatest hits…lot’s of witch hunts and he rolled out the golden oldie that the FBI was looking for Hillary’s e-mails when they searched mar a lago…I even think he threw in a couple of Hunter Biden’s laptops, too…you know, if you saw someone walking on the street and talking like that, you first thought would be that person should be in a mental hospital…his time is coming and he knows it…this should be something to watch….geez…
Only one ride today…
Well…damn I’m sore…after going out in 25mph wind this morning and with showers coming in, I am only going to do one ride today…the ride back into the wind was just brutal and my back is so much worse that it hurts to just sit here…so, for once, I’m doing the smart thing and resting everything…I may go out later if the wind dies down and the showers end but right now that is looking very iffy…so I need to figure out some work to do after lunch….more later….
September 22nd
Well…damn, only up once last night and didn’t get out of bed til after 7 and that is so weird…and I just had a spider run across the computer but he didn’t make it all the way…I am so worn out that I may only do one ride today…only had about 800 calories yesterday and that is going to kill me today….so, do I try to compensate for that or do I just live through it and know that I won’t gain any weight today? Had to close this place up completely last night since it was getting down to 52 and tonight the heat may come on for the first time with the low being 41…not ready for that yet but it is almost the end of September so I guess it’s time….my back has been really sore lately and I’m not sure how I hurt it…and the pain is wrapping around my right side…I wonder if it’s from the yard work? If it is, I really hate getting old….almost went out to the beach yesterday but it turned cloudy and I just didn’t want to make the effort…so I need to get the beach chair out of the car today and maybe even vacuum the sand out of it…both seats are full of it and it’s pretty annoying…damn, my allergies are the worst I can remember right now and I am stuffed up, coughing, and miserable….not much to do today….could I just skip the rides today? Haven’t had a day off in a long time…and this old body is just tired…it’s already 8 and I just don’t want to go…..I guess we’ll see….more later….
They’re all in on it…
Well…okay, I will admit I’m smiling right now with the announcement this morning that Leticia James, the AG of NY filed a huge lawsuit against the idiot trump and his idiot children, his company, and other execs for their manipulating the worth of properties to lower it for tax purposes or raise it to get loans…deceiving lenders, insurance brokers, and tax authorities…and the suit will try to recover 250 million dollars that the AG says was ill-gotten gains from this fraud and she has even referred the violations of law to the justice department and the IRS since this suit is a civil one….trump’s bad week just got worse…after his lawyers got blown out of the water by the special master overseeing the theft of government documents yesterday….I wonder how much ketchup is on the walls of mar a lago today? It is about time that this criminal and his criminal family started to be held accountable for their lawbreaking that has been going on for 40 years…this could result in the entire trump organization being dissolved and none of them ever being able to pull this crap again…wouldn’t that be nice? Geez…
September 21st
Well…damn, two days in a row of sleeping through the night and I don’t know how the hell that happened…didn’t get out of bed til 6:23 this morning but I feel like it was 1:23….just worn out again and it could be that it’s almost 7 and I just started my first cup of coffee….not sure when I’m going to get out on the bike today….it’s not light until almost 8 now so that puts me too late to get a ride in before I do the grocery run….okay, the banner on the bottom of the screen just came up with a new alert for a “great sunrise” and I’m not sure what to make of that…..hmmm….didn’t get much done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I really should do some work….but what work? Is the grocery run work? If it is, then I will get some work done today….the new Star Wars tv show “Andor” starts today and I hope plex will pick it up…I have been watching “The man who fell to Earth” and it’s a pretty good show and it’s nice to have something that allows me to stop my brain for a couple of hours a night….and the lead is the guy who played the bad guy in the movie of “Firefly” and I like his work….not much to do today….just the grocery run and the bike rides and then figuring out what to cook for my meals today….but I have leftovers of chicken and ribs so that won’t take much work….more later…
As I said, Ron DeSantis is dumb…
Well…here comes the fallout from the stupid move that DeSantis pulled by tricking those legal refugees to get on a plane in Texas so he could kidnap them and send them across the country….as I said, this boy is dumb, dumb, dumb…in just the past few minutes all of the refugees that he kidnapped have filed a class action lawsuit against ole ronnie and some of his Florida cronies who were involved in the scheme…what a smart move to send them to Martha’s Vineyard that has more lawyers per capita than almost anywhere else in the country…and these aren’t trump quality ones either so he and the people of Florida who are going to have to foot the bill are going to hurt from this one…and the sick thing is he is still doing it to other refugees just today…and now they will need to join the class action or file one of their own since the template is now there for this jackass to get what he deserves…and this is the repubs idea of a “smart” person? You’re going to pay ronnie boy…and it can’t happen to a worse person….good….
Made a good decision…
Well…damn, made a good decision this morning when I got back here from the first ride…I was planning on getting right back on the bike to get the second ride in but checked the radar first and saw that the rain was a lot closer than I expected so I put the bike in the garage and it started raining about 10 minutes later..still pretty light right now but I can hear some thunder out there and there was no way I could have done another hour plus on the bike before it starts to really rain…so, I’m on to the third one of these already and may even do more if the news cooperates and gives me topics…more later?
Ron DeSantis is so damn dumb…
Well…who would have guessed that going across state lines to kidnap refugees and send them across the country would not work out too well? Certainly not the idiot Ron DeSantis who pulled this stunt over the weekend…and now the sheriff of the country where he kidnapped the refugees has opened a criminal investigation of ole ronnie’s shenanigans and I just can’t quit smiling…is there not one person in the repub party who is not a criminal? Now this sheriff needs to do Greg Abbott since he was a collaborator in this scheme and is still busing refugees to sanctuary cities across the country trying to “own the libs” and I really think they were waiting for the good people of those cities to reject the refugees but they didn’t…it was heartwarming to see Martha’s Vineyard turn out for these abused people with food, shelter, and love, but that didn’t stop the repubs from pushing the lie that MV “deported” these people when all they did was move them to a naval base where there was enough room to house them as they figured out how to take care of them better….and the irony here is that all of the cities that the repubs are sending the refugees to have said “send us more” since those of us on the left are human beings with empathy and see the refugees as people who need help, not pawns to use to score cheap political points…geez….
September 20th
Well…that was a little abnormal…slept through the night and didn’t get out of bed til almost 6:30 but I sure don’t feel like I slept much….and it didn’t rain overnight like forecast so I went through all that work yesterday for nothing…okay, not for nothing since I don’t have to work today and it may rain later in the morning…there is a huge blob of storms that are over in Wisconsin and just might graze us here….had the weird credit card dreams last night where I was almost out of gas and the card didn’t work at the pump and then they lost it when I went inside to pay…boy, my brain is strange at times…I am a little sore from all of the walking and bending yesterday and mostly in my calves from stretching them….my legs have been hurting a bit on the bike lately and I think it’s from overuse…okay, and not eating enough since I feel like I’m gaining weight again and I don’t like that at all…I did thaw some chicken to have in the next day or so and I still have lots of the brats I bought last week so I don’t think I’ll get any protein this week…and I have a new head of lettuce for salads that I need to use today….I wonder if most people think this much about what they eat or do they just wing it? I guess that is why there is so many fast food restaurants out there that I don’t use…but I would love some french fries….not much to do today…need to get on the bike by 8 so that gives me about 40 minutes to pour more coffee into me and start waking up….but that is going to be a chore…more later….
