Well…running a little late today with the grocery run and having a real paper to read….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today and I hope that continues for the rest of the day….have been fortunate with the bugs this winter with just low level stuff but the flu is all around me and I sure don’t want to get it at this late date….I did get out and get my hair cut yesterday and even got a top down run in so that takes care of Feb….didn’t get much else done, though, and I need to change that today….I will need to cook with no leftovers in the fridge and I may even have the pizza that I have had in the freezer for a couple of weeks….not much to do today….I am going to do the bathroom and maybe even start tearing the old bike apart since I am going to order the new one next week and need to make room for it….more later…..

Trump opens mouth, more lies….
Well…god, how much longer do we have to listen to this two-bit liar every day? Just today, the idiot boy tried to take credit for GM closing down it’s Korean assembly plant, saying that they were closing it to move production back to the US…and trying to make it all about him in his deluded little mind…that all he had to do was be alive and every good thing that ever happens is due to him…one little problem…it’s another lie, lie, lie…..the only thing he got right was that yes, GM is closing it’s assembly plant in Korea, but it has not one damn thing to do with the idiot Donald…when asked, GM said it was a part of a restructuring of it’s Korean unit and no production from that plant is going to come back to the US….none…and yet, what is the media’s reaction to this blatant, deluded lie? Nothing but crickets and that is the problem, why aren’t they peppering Sarah the liar with questions at the WH daily briefing…or, why the hell are they even still going to it? The media gets nothing from it other than lies…they need to all walk out and just stop listening to the liars…geez….
Two things…
Well…if you got through that last screed, I have a couple more things to talk about today and one of them revisits the rampant corruption of almost everyone who is in the trump “administration”…a few months back, I talked about the blatant theft of services by David Shulkin, the Secretary of Veterans affairs when he took his wife and 8 other people on a European trip to talk about “veterans affairs” that was little more than a 11 day vacation that cost we taxpayers over $122, 000 dollars…and finally, the VA inspector general investigated and found an improper use of taxpayers funds and ethics violations by Shulkin’s chief of staff when she lied to ethics lawyers and altered and e-mail to make it look like it was a business trip….geez…is their no one in this “administration” that is not a frickin grifter whose sole purpose is to steal for their own benefit? Okay, so this is not going to be two things, but just one since the next one really will stand on it’s own….
Not sure I like being retired…
Well…as I sit here watching the Olympics, it finally hit me that I really don’t like the idea that I was forced to retire when I still wanted to work. The idea that I have nothing to add to any company galls me to no end, especially when on an almost daily basis, you see companies being quoted that they just can’t find qualified people anymore…well, I got news for you idiots, there are plenty of us out here that are qualified but YOU are the ones who are artificially restricting your pool of potential workers just because of the stereotypes that you have in your heads that all of us older workers are going to cost you more than newbies straight out of college…and that may be true since we do expect to be fairly compensated for our contributions, but there is one thing we don’t need, and that is to have our hands held and our egos massaged to keep us productive…we are well past that nonsense and just want an opportunity to contribute…I wonder if any hiring manager gives a crap about that…nope, that would make them have to think instead of just running resumes through the computers and rejecting every experienced worker….so, don’t cry me a river if you can’t find “qualified” people to fill your needs..you did it to yourselves….
February 14th
Well…running kind of on time today since it is before 7 am…that is getting to be kind of normal lately and I wonder why I can never sleep in….not sure what is going on with the cold but I am not feeling it today other than I feel a little warm….I’m hoping it’s the end of it today since I am not coughing right now and I have some energy….my heel finally feels like it is healing and it doesn’t hurt too much today…can even put weight on it without to much discomfort….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I am going to finally resign myself to being an Olympics slug for the next week and I am not going to feel guilty about it…one thing that is happening is my tv shows that go to the server are starting to pile up and it is going to take a concerted binge to get caught up…especially since many of them are coming back next week with new episodes…not much to do today…going to get my hair cut first thing and then I need to figure out what to cook today….more later….
trump does nothing….
Well…as we all know, the idiot trump is the laziest person ever to sit in the WH and really doesn’t do anything that a normal president would do…this laziness is starting to endanger the country and congress needs to do something about it…okay, that’s not going to happen but that doesn’t mean we should resign ourselves to just accepting the damage as being normal. Just today, the head of the FBI revealed that trump has not once asked any of the intelligence services to look into Russia’s attack on our elections or to put plans in place to stop them from doing it…yeah, I’ll repeat that…one of the most dangerous threats to our country is not important to the idiot…and I’m sure you can figure out why….the Russians still have the compromising info they use to control the idiot and keeping that quiet is more important to trump than the future of this country….the frickin definition of treason and yet the rpub congress does nothing….and to put an exclamation point of how stupid and dangerous trump is, we just have to look at his behavior when dealing with the Russians on the middle east…idiot boy has had 8 conversations with Putin that no one, no media or any other people in his administration has been able to listen in to….and now, trump has said that Putin “speaks for him” about the Palestinian problem and has left it to Putin to find a solution….how would this have played in the repub congress if Obama had abdicated his responsibilities to be president since he was just too lazy to put in any effort? When, repubs? When are you going to put the country first? Yeah, I know, never….impeach…
November 13th
Well….forgot to set the coffee up last night so that puts me late today and a little out of sorts…and I woke up feeling like I have that damn bug again…have been coughing again this morning and I feel warm again…darn…I did get out to have one with K last night and it was good to see her….then I was good when I got back here so I should feel better today…didn’t sleep for crap last night and that might be part of it….didn’t shoot pool yesterday so I didn’t win or lose….didn’t get much done yesterday even with being here all day and today looks the same….nothing really gets messed up when you live alone so that’s a good thing…really don’t have much to clean but the bathroom could use a going over….I do need to run an errand this morning but that is about it for the day….more later….
Nothing important to say today…
Well….have been sitting here trying to figure out a topic for the day with no luck…I know I could go on about the idiot trump or his embrace of wife abusers but I don’t want to pollute myself with that today….so, I won’t. Have been watching the Olympics quite a bit since Thursday and this just popped into my head….why do they start the women’s luge lower down the track than the men? What’s the difference between women and men? Do they think that women don’t have the ability to go as fast as men? It just seems like such an anachronism to treat them differently…they don’t start the women in the NHRA 100 feet down the track so why in luge? Or, I guess golf, too, since they have women’s tees that make the holes shorter…hmmmm. I think I may be getting over the cold that I had the past couple of weeks and that is a good feeling…and I am glad it wasn’t the flu….haven’t coughed at all today so far and that is a good thing….hoping to dodge that bullet for the entire winter…and it’s only two more weeks til March and only one more week until I order the new bike…so there are things to look forward to…more later…maybe…
February 12th
Well…running a little late today with getting up late and that is a little unusual….slept okay last night but feel a little worn out today…I think the cold is about gone but after feeling good most of the day yesterday, the coughing came back last night…not happening now so maybe it was the last gasp of the cold…didn’t get anything done with the races that were on and watching some Olympics all day….and I won’t get much done today with heading out for pool later….I think Man U is turning into the Lions and I don’t think I’ll watch them anymore…I mean, losing to the last place team yesterday? That will make some time to get other things done….not that I have other things to do….more later….
February 11th
Well…running on time today and that is a little weird…woke up to 4 more inches of snow on the car and I am getting really tired of that…I know it’s winter in Michigan but I haven’t shifted into my resigned phase yet…almost, and it helps that I don’t have anywhere to be and don’t have to go out in it…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning…the cold may be waning but we’ll see about that later….haven’t coughed much yet today so I have hope that it will be gone after the couple of weeks it has been here….I did make the slow cooked pork chops yesterday and they came out pretty good so I won’t have to cook again until wed or so….my damn heel is hurting again today and I am getting really tired of that…really should go out and look for a cure for it…limping around here like an old guy is not a good look for me…not much to do today…I should clean some and I might but Man U is playing in and hour or so and the Olympics are on so that might derail my plans…more later….
