Well…just watched the test flight of the Falcon Heavy rocket and it was one of the coolest things I’ve seen since the the Saturn 5 launches of the 70′s…I mean, lighting 27 engines at once and having that happen right is hard enough…but to then land all three boosters successfully…with two of them coming down in a synchronized landing at almost exactly the same time…not sure if the booster that was supposed to land on the ship made it since the cameras cut off as the landing started….but the really cool part was at the end of the telecast…I thought that Elon’s Tesla roaster was going to be contained in a fairing of some sort as it goes into orbit but the fairing separated and the car is exposed to space forever…and, it had a sign on the dashboard that said “don’t panic” along with the spaceman with his hands on the steering wheel…it’s nice when there can be a little whimsy in the world…congrats Space X….
Some small bites…
Well….sitting here waiting for the Falcon Heavy launch after I filed my last taxes, so I thought I’d do a few small bites instead of a long one for now….you know how fricking ridiculous the idiot trump is, but he went full Nazi yesterday in a speech from Ohio calling the dems lack of applause for idiot boy “treasonous”… again showing that this ignorant boor has no idea what treason is…but I can tell him…hey trump, treason is working with a foreign power to subvert our democracy…is that simple enough for you? Do you recognize that? We do, and you are going to jail for it….how sick do you have to be to be that needy? To just HAVE to have people applaud every idiotic thing you say and do? Oh, and it came out yesterday that idiot boy and his Huckster press secretary lied their asses off when they tried to justify firing Comey, saying that the rank and file had lost confidence in his leadership…now, this can’t be true, and it was proven to be nothing but lies from internal documents that were acquired by some news organization by the freedom of information act…and it can’t be true since trump and his minions don’t know the definition of leadership…certainly no one in his “administration” shows any….okay….that’s enough for now…might be back for another one later but I need to watch the launch first….
February 6th
Well….running a little early today after getting up at 6 and I don’t feel too badly after being good for the second night in a row….I still do think I have a little bug since I am still coughing and have the general feeling of being off a little….oh, I did win at pool yesterday and that was cool…and it was nice to be out of here for the drive out and back….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I will have to get some stuff done today…need to get the taxes done but the printer needs to be fired up and tried…haven’t used it since last year and that may be a problem….and I need to go out for some groceries I forgot last week…had a half loaf or bread go bad yesterday and that never happens…and Meijers has pork chops for 99 cents a pound…so, I’ll drag my butt out of here after the work out and get that done….I am a little excited to see the Falcon Heavy get launched today and I will be watching that….more later….
Dumb, dumb, dumb…
Well…we all know that trump is an ignorant idiot with an IQ barely larger than a stump, and this morning we got just another example of how stupid he really is….after his favorite show, fox and friends, lied about protests that were going on in London…saying they were against the idea of a national health service when they were really about the fact that the conservatives there won’t fund it and that has led to cutbacks….so idiot boy gets on twitter and parrots the lie in a tweet…and the response was not pretty to see…well…for those of us that see trump as one of the dumbest people in the world it WAS pretty to see….oh, and the stock market is down another 300 points…tired of all the winning yet? Impeach….
January 5th
Well…it was a weird day yesterday and I didn’t feel too hot for most of it…have got to remember to not eat peanuts….slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today so that is something….it was a good super bowl last night and seeing the Eagles win was good thing…just tired of the Patriots…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t need to and today will be the same…don’t even need to cook again today…didn’t feel like eating a lot yesterday and will probably do the same today….but, maybe not….I do need to get out and clean the car off in a few minutes and it is good that the handbrake is working again…sure didn’t want to get under it in the snow….it looks like the next two weeks is going be hunker down time with the temps not getting above the 20′s but I just have to remember that we are getting closer to spring every day….not much to do today…just pool and that is about it…more later…
Trump is STILL working with (for?) the Russians…
Well…with all of the “memo” crap that has been filling the media for the past week, a little CIA meeting has flown under the radar and it really shouldn’t have if the media was doing their jobs. Just this past week, the head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, met with his counterparts in the Russian GRU (KGB) for reasons that are being kept secret…and you can guess why….both of the Russians that came here to meet with this idiot were specifically named in sanctions prohibiting them from coming into the US…and do you wonder why they were under sanctions? Both of them were in charge of the GRU, and the GRU was in charge of interfering with our election and getting the idiot trump elected. I don’t remember Obama lifting sanctions and inviting the people screwing with our country to come here and discuss anything…and this invitation comes after trump decided to break the law by ignoring the law that placed new sanctions on Russia for their election interference…something he HAD to do and does not have the power to ignore….I wonder what they were bringing trump? More orders or bribes? Look, we already know the the idiot trump has broken the law hundreds of times since the Russians installed him…so what are you going to do about it repubs? Every day you protect trump you are getting deeper in the swamp of obstruction of justice…I’m talking to you “onefitty” Ryan….impeach…
February 4th
Well…running a little late today with having to clean the car off to go out and get the paper…already feeling like crap today with being an idiot and eating some nuts over the past couple of days….they don’t like me at all and I’ll be feeling it all day….slept okay last night but feel worn out today so it looks like a take it easy day….the parking brake on the car released this morning so I think I may have fixed it….sure didn’t want to get under the car in the snow…just getting too old for that….I did get some great avocados from Aldis that I made into guac last night…not a brown spot on any of them and that is pretty cool for 49 cents each….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but running the dishwasher and it looks the same for today….going to try to do the kitchen a little but that will have to wait until I feel better…more later….
Paul Ryan really is dumb…
Well….if you have followed any of the stupid things that Paul Ryan has done (like washing clean pans at a soup kitchen for a photo op), it must be quite obvious that he is not the brightest person in the world…in fact, he’s pretty damn dumb. He reinforced that today when the smarmy little granny killer tweeted out that he had talked to a secretary in PA and she was “thrilled” that she had gotten an extra $1.50 a week in her paycheck due to the repub tax scam…and that extra money would pay for her Costco membership. Yep, again, the tone deaf idiot is crowing that his tax scam is putting so much money in the pockets of regular Americans….you can imagine what the reaction was in response on Twitter….let’s say it wasn’t positive since many people pointed out that regular people get $1.50 while the Kochs (who paid Ryan off with $500,000 after the bill passed) get around 10 billion dollars a year in cuts…hmmmm…I wonder what that is per week….let’s do the math…10 billion divided by 52…that works out to a little more than $1.50 a week….say $192,307,692….yep that’s 192 MILLION per week to the Koch’s….this “middle class” tax cut is still a scam that gives away 98% of the cuts to the top 1%…and you know what ole Ryan did after these responses to his idiotic tweet? Yep, he deleted it…probably thinking that no one had a screen shot of it….yep, he is that dumb….
Finally….
Well…just sitting here watching Man U play and I finally feel like I have a little energy…that took a long time today and I think part of it is trying to control the calories again…but, that’s not what this about…I finally got my 1099 in the mail today so I can get the taxes filed on Monday…and it looks like, with the state and fed withholding, I will have enough coming back to pay for my car insurance and buy the new bike…but, I don’t think I’ll wait that long to buy the bike…I think I’ll put it on my credit card next week so it will be here if we get another winter thaw…I hope that I won’t have to pay any taxes this year…only paid 22 bucks last year on more than twice the income so that should work…and, it looks like I’ll never pay taxes again if I don’t find a job….
February 3rd
Well…have been up for a while but just can’t get started…have the first cup of coffee going but that isn’t working yet….slept okay last night but still feel a little crappy today with coughing but it’s not too bad…glad it’s not the flu…but I am sore everywhere and that must be from using new muscles to work on the car the other day….and my back is stuck again…cripes, that is annoying….but I guess I’ll live through it….still waiting for some dreams to come that I will remember and I wonder why they have gone away….oh, well…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to do better today…need to vacuum and start prepping food for tomorrow….have so much stuff in my freezer that I won’t have to buy food for a while…I did get some avocados wed but they are not really ripening….even have them in a paper bag like you’re supposed to but that’s not helping…okay….need coffee and to put soccer on….more later….
