Well…how bad of a person do you have to be to revel in the fact that almost two million people are out of work because you’re an asshole? That’s exactly what Ann Coulter is doing today after her attack on the idiot trump made him abandon a deal that would have kept the government open and 800,000 federal workers plus over a million contractors working….my question is: who made her president? That’s how trump is acting…that spineless baby who is squatting in the WH caved to this right wing harpy who screeched that trump was weak if he didn’t close down the government to get his stupid, racist wall…I don’t get how bowing to this moron makes trump look stronger…it just makes him look like he is so damn needy for approval that he is ready to do any damage he can just to keep Coulter and Hannity happy…and the rest of other repubs do nothing either..,.they are so scared of the myth of their base and losing a primary that they stand by and let Coulter manipulate trump…if she can do it, why don’t they understand that anyone can and has done it? All of the repubs are traitors, let’s just say it…and they all need to go…how ugly does your soul have to be to be Ann Coulter? The blackest one I have ever seen….impeach…

First thoughts…
Well…just got done doing 5 miles on the bike indoors and have some first thoughts that I want to share…yow! Sweating like I just did 15 outdoors in 80 degree weather….it is louder than I thought it would be but knew that from the ratings on Amazon that it was not quiet…so I think I’ll use it when my neighbors are gone …it’s no louder than a vacuum when I get it to 15 mph and it does allow you to get into a rhythm so that is cool…I was a little concerned that it didn’t have enough drag to it and it would be too easy to pedal but that is not the case…I even turned it down a bit and that helped with making it smooth…the bike is very stable, too, and I can get on and off the bike just like I would riding outdoors and that is a pleasant surprise for a unit that only cost 39 bucks…and with free shipping that made it even a better deal…I’ll probably wear it out over the winter, though, and that’s okay…I’m thinking that this will be a test unit to see if I like riding indoors and I can get a nicer one next year…and I got it with points so it really didn’t cost me anything at all…and that’s the kind of deal I like…
January 20th
Well…man, it’s cold outside…down to 0 this morning and the car barely started to warm it up to go out for the paper…but, the sky and the moon look pretty cool and it did feel good to breathe that cold, fresh air…I don’t think it will start without the box tomorrow since it is supposed to get to 5 below tonight…it is nice to know that it will start when it is this cold so I don’t have to worry about that…slept okay last night and woke up to just a little pain in the shoulder and my range of motion is pretty good so I can live with that….slept on it again last night and it didn’t wake me up so I think I’ll stop talking about it…I did get the parts I needed get the bike on the trainer so that will be a project as soon as I finish this….can’t wait to see how it works and get some exercise in the warm….didn’t get much done with all of the sports on yesterday and will probably not do much today other than ride…or clean the kitchen…not sure right now, though, need more coffee and to read the news first…think I’ll work on the bike before I do that….more later…
I know what Nancy’s doing…
Well…with rumors that idiot boy is willing to compromise to get his wall and that Nancy is going to get relief on DACA and TPS for it, I don’t like the idea that she compromises at all with the idiot trump…but I know what she’s doing, I think…look, none of us in the reality based world want one penny spent on this stupid wall…but what Nancy understands and what trump doesn’t is that any wall that can be started, can be stopped by the next administration…and it will take them 6-9 months to get the contract let and approved…with almost 60% of voters polled saying they won’t vote for a repub for president in 2020, Nancy knows we are going to have complete control of the government and one of the things she will be doing is cleaning up the repubs mess…and that will include getting rid of the idiot’s wall…and in the long game, she can let idiot boy have his face saving “win” when she wants to get the government open now and end the pain to the 800,000 workers who have been affected. So, don’t get on her too hard for dealing with the asshole…it’s 11 dimension chess to trump’s chutes and ladders…and she is going to win for all of us….impeach…
A good sports day…
Well…I wonder what I’m going to do on the weekends when soccer and football are over? Today started out well with Wolves and Leictester City going at it in a really good game and Wolves winning it 4-3 in the last minute of stoppage time…very entertaining….and now we have Man U playing Brighton and Man U has started out okay but no score yet…then we have Michigan trying to keep their unbeaten streak going in basketball against Wisconsin at noon…and then the NFL playoffs later in the aft…so, I’ve got a day of less boredom than normal and that really is something to look forward to…and, next weekend is the 24 hours of Daytona that I hope I have the channels to watch…so, for at least the next two weekends, I have something do…along with riding as soon as the parts get here…so, back to sports…more later…
January 19th
Well…damn, slept pretty well last night and didn’t get up until 6:35…after getting up for the first time at 4:30 that is…but I’ll take it anytime…and I’m going to knock on wood this morning with there being no pain in my shoulder at all, just a little stiffness and that is welcome after the last month of healing…I do think I’ll wait until Monday to try to work out again since the last time didn’t work out too well…I did get the bike cleaned and ready for some indoor riding….got the computer pick up mounted to read the rear wheel and now I just have to wait until the rest of the parts get here to get started riding indoors…I am going to miss the scenery going by but I am not going to miss being so careful in the snow and ice…and I am also not going to miss being cold and not being able to warm up all day after a ride….I did get to cook yesterday and made a mushroom sauce to go with rice and chicken and it came out pretty good…but the rice has come out sticky the past two times I’ve done it in the instant pot but I think I’ve figured that out for the next time…going to make chicken stir fry to use some of the rice for lunch today but that is about all I have to do…I did clean a little yesterday and will probably do some more today but we’ll see…soccer starts in about 15 minutes so that and coffee is the only thing I want to think about right now….more later….
Think I’ve got a cold…
Well…have been trying to figure out why I’ve been so exhausted the past couple of days and I think I’ve figured it out…I think I have a cold…not coughing yet but have a little sore throat and I’m a little warm…but mostly, I’m just so damn tired and have no energy at all…I think I’ve been eating enough but I’m not sure about that…hmmmm…the bike trainer came today…yay! It wasn’t supposed to get here until Tuesday so that is pretty cool…but, I can’t use it until the new rear axle gets here that replaces the quick release one that’s on it now for one that fits into the hold downs….and I bought a molded block for the front tire that will raise the front so it won’t feel like I’m going down hill all the time. I don’t think the magnetic drag is going to be enough for me so I have rigged up a rubber band that will use the rear brake to supply drag and make me work harder…and I am going to use some poster putty to locate the computer pickup on the inside of the rear caliper so I can still know how far I’ve ridden…will have to keep these miles separate so I can know how many miles I’ve really ridden…I’ve already gotten to 130 for the year and that was s good start….kinda looking forward to trying the new toy…
The end is coming…
Well…cripes, this is what I get from watching Gotham and The Orville last night instead of watching Rachel…a bombshell report from Buzzfeed lays it out that there is testimony and evidence that the idiot trump told Michael Cohen to lie to congress about his trump tower project in Moscow that trump constantly lied about and said he had “no business in Russia”. So, what does this mean? To me, and to everyone else who is not a repub, it means that it is clear that idiot boy suborned perjury…meaning that he directed someone to lie on his behalf…and the second part of that is that this is clear obstruction of justice that has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation but is in addition to it…this also lays bare the leverage that Putin had on trump after trump lied and lied and lied on the campaign trail and even after he was installed as president…and it is exactly the crime that Cohen is going to prison for for more than 3 years. Now we know why trump has been kissing Putin’s ass for so long and why he has destroyed our middle east foreign policy to help Putin…he was scared that Putin would reveal that he was a criminal, and this is just normal spycraft for the Russians that they have used for years and Putin is an expert at it. So, the end is finally coming and I expect there will be articles of impeachment filed before the end of the month or idiot boy will resign…but, this won’t be the end for trump…Pence may pardon him for federal crimes, but there are so many state investigations going on of trump and his businesses that it appears he will spend the rest of his life in prison…along with his children who are neck deep in all of this, too…good riddance…impeach…
January 18th
Well…damn, woke up this morning with pain in my right Achilles tendon and I’m not sure how that happened…but it hurts to walk and the only thing I can figure is that I hurt it on the bike ride yesterday…slept okay last night…kind of…but my left shoulder woke me up with pain and who the hell knows what that is about…I am getting a little frustrated by the whole pain thing but at least my right shoulder appears to be improving so I guess that’s something…but, I did have to take something for the pain last night so we’ll see if it’s improved enough to stop that today…it does look like yesterday was the last riding day until spring and, with how cold I got on the bike yesterday, that’s okay with me…will get back to riding Tuesday when the trainer gets here…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks about the same but I am going to clean a little around here…that’s needs to happen since I made the mistake of leaving my glasses on when I was cooking yesterday…the kitchen looks okay without them but not with them….so that will be the goal today….more later…
Not a bad day…
Well…finally got back on the bike today for a normal ride but it was still icy out there and had to be very careful…I may be able to get out tomorrow but, if I do, it looks like the last ride until spring with the snow that is coming and the cold, cold temps that are coming with it. So, I savored the ride today but am looking forward to getting the the bike stand next week and trying that for the rest of the winter…I did get the grocery run done today and stocked up the food for the weekend and I’m going to make a new mushroom sauce to go with rice and chicken tomorrow…something I’ve never made before but with how good the alfredo came out, I feel pretty good that I can figure that out, too…oh, I talked about that this morning, didn’t I? Okay, won’t bore you with it anymore…I had a nagging feeling that I had a coolant leak in the car but I checked it today after topping it off a few weeks back and it is still full…but, I did tighten the upper clamp on the radiator hose since it was a little loose and I may check the rest of them tomorrow before the cold weather comes in Sunday…but, I’m not going to worry about it any more…all in all, it was a pretty good day but the bike ride left me sore after being off for a few days…so, I’ll probably take something for the shoulder and the rest of the pain tonight…and then settle in for a veg night since there is new tv on tonight….is it cocktail time yet?
