Well….running on time today for a Thursday and got the grocery run done…used my new credit card for the first time and it is cool to have one that you can just tap again….slept okay last night but I am having trouble ditching the earplugs…so, I guess I won’t…the new furnace sounds like a 747 so I am glad that it is warm enough to not need it…feel a little bit slow today and I know it’s from not eating enough so I am going to try to fix that today…spent 70 bucks at the grocery store and have chicken and pork chops to cook…need to try some new recipes so I think I’ll get out on the internet today and take a look….didn’t get much done yesterday but the normal workout and bike ride…oh, I did wash the bike, too, so it looks good again…I need to clean some today and I think I might…the cobwebs are getting annoying so that will be one project for the day…more later….

Another trump fiasco…

Well….I’m sure you’ve seen some of the photos and video of the latest trump fiasco, and I hope you laughed as hard as I did when the idiot boy was singing “God Bless America” and knew only about 5 words of the entire song. Now, Mr. “super patriot” can’t be bothered to learn the words to the two songs that he is using as a racist hammer to go after NFL football players for protesting the unfair treatment of minorities by police in this country, and that fact shows that it is all a game to him to gin up support from his base and keep them stirred up. One of the funniest parts of the Eagles refusal to go to the WH and trump throwing a little hissy fit about it was the “fans” that were supposed to be Eagles fans that were at his “patriotic” rally…all of them were repub staffers and they were all white…the Eagles have no AA fans? The absurdity of the entire spectacle was pierced by at least two people in the crowd who took a knee when the national anthem was played…I wonder if anyone pointed it out to the idiot boy? What a buffoon….impeach…

June 6th

Well…trying to stall a little this morning with it being in the 40′s…I need it to be 57 or so to get out on the bike so I need to kill some time…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and that kind of fits with the schedule for the morning….they did put a new furnace in here yesterday and I do need to get used to how it sounds…at least the one upstairs is quiet….didn’t get much done yesterday but I will do some cleaning today…if I feel like it…and that is a little iffy right now….got my new credit card yesterday and got it activated and that made me want to go out and buy something…but, I didn’t, but I will tomorrow when I use it for groceries….need to spend 500 bucks on it in the next 3 months to get the 150 bucks back…thinking about new tires for the car…not much to do today…just a normal day with a workout and bike ride…and I need to cook some ribs for lunch…more later….

Cohen should be scared…

Well…just another little one on a story that no one else is talking about so I thought I would, and it’s one that should make the idiot trump and Michael Cohen pretty damn scared. It was reported yesterday that the special master that was going over the evidence seized in the Cohen raids has determined that less than 1% of it is privileged information that falls under lawyer/client privilege….yeah, that is pretty stunning…over 99% of the info, including the 16 phones that were seized are fair game and can be used to build a case against Cohen, and I’m sure idiot boy, too. This one is going to be a good one to follow over the next couple of weeks…and I can’t wait until someone tells the orange menace…the tweetstorm is going to be epic….impeach…

Little Paulie is going to jail…

Well…just how stupid is Paul Manafort? In new court filings from the Mueller investigation, Manafort has been shown to be engaged in witness tampering by trying to contact witnesses that have been testifying against him…and they have the texts and the supposedly encrypted messaging program to prove it. The next step that should happen today is to revoke his bail since contact with witnesses voids the agreement, and it’s going to send his ass back to jail until the trial that starts in July. With this move, little Paulie will probably never see another day of freedom…and good riddance to this criminal…and it can’t come too soon to see trump, pence and the rest of them join him….impeach…

June 5th

Well…running a little early today with needing to get things done before they come to replace my furnace…the did the noisy one upstairs yesterday and that allowed me to sleep with no earplugs for the first time in years last night….had a nice day yesterday with a top down ride out and back for pool…oh, and I won….but that was all I got done and today will be the same with the workers going to be here most of the day…feel a little slow today and I need the coffee to work soon or it’s going to be a rough day….T is going in for surgery today and I am worried about her…I’m sure it will go well but any time you have an organ removed, I think it’s a big deal…but it should make her feel better and that is the only thing….more later….

Bird attack!

Well…just getting ready to go out to pool but thought I’d relay this little tidbit that happened today on the trail….was coming down the last long straight coming back here when I felt a little peck on the top of my hat…I turned around and didn’t see anything so I kept riding and it happened again…and then again so I turned around and saw that it was a red winged blackbird doing the attacking…had to just laugh…it’s the first time it’s happened this year and it must be nesting time for those birds…oh, and there were tiny bunnies out today too, and tiny deer…saw one today that was smaller than a dog…

June 4th

Well…running a little late today…went out to put gas in the car and then wash it…gas is supposed to go up by 50 cents a gallon today and I wanted to get it filled before that…it is really weird to be out and about that early…and the traffic is nuts so I’m pretty sure I won’t do that again…slept in all the way til 7 today and that was good for a change…getting up at 5 is just too damn early…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same with pool this aft…I really should get some dusting done and remove the cobwebs but I  guess I’m just not motivated to do much…I was going to do the brakes on the car this week but they stopped making noise so I’m re thinking that….but, it is so cheap to do them I still may…and, I’ll have the new credit card by Wed so I may use it to order the brake parts….more later…

Hey trump voters…475,000 jobs gone…

Well…with all of the stupidity coming from the idiot boy on trade, putting tariffs on our allies under the guise of “national security’…and that is just so damn moronic when Canada is included…what have they ever done? One of the things that is starting to be clear is the scope of the job losses…to protect about 25,000 jobs in the steel and aluminum sectors, economists have calculated that there will be job losses of almost 500,000 jobs across the economy….making for net job LOSSES of 475,000 from these idiotic tariffs. Trudeau of Canada even went so far as to say that he understands that this is not the American people talking but this idiotic administration…and he has talked to trump so he knows what he’s talking about. Now, trump voters, after your 12 dollar tax cut that you bought a new car with, what are you going to do when you lose your job to trump’s stupidity? He makes the best deals, believe him…impeach…

June 3rd

Well…almost forgot to come here…again…and I am trying to figure out why it’s a Sunday thing….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…just a little slow so I’m going to ease into it and have some more coffee…it’s too early to get out on the bike and the MotoGP race is going to start in a minute so I’m going to just sit here and watch the start….that’s the problem with getting up so early every day…I get everything done before 9 and that makes the rest of the day a little boring….didn’t get a lot done yesterday…hmmm…that’s getting to be a theme around here…I will try to clean a little today after I cook something for lunch…have some chicken that needs to be cooked so I guess I’ll have that….I did wear a new pair of workout shorts on the bike yesterday and, with the new shoes, I look almost stylish….and they are quite comfortable so I guess they are worth the 11 bucks I paid for them….more later….
