Well…running a little early today and I don’t care why…feel a little crappy today since I was not good last night….and I don’t care about that either….had a fun day yesterday with shooting pool and having the top down out and back….I think I won…but that will probably be the last one for a while….I should check the mega to see if anyone won…yep, someone in Illinois…darn….oh, well….I need coffee….one cool thing is the premier league starts again this morning and it’s nice to have something to run in the background as I do these…I am still geeked about getting a SD ticket yesterday for 39 bucks….should be a ton of fun….not much to do today….have to get a bike ride in but that is about it…..and cook….should clean the bathroom and I just might…but I might not…more later…
Steely Dan update…
Well…just on a whim, I decided to go out and look at ticketmaster again since people on Facebook were talking about cheap tickets….and there were! Got one for 39 bucks…it’s way in the back but in the front row of the section so no one will be in front of me…and it’s still closer than the lawn at Pine Knob….I am getting excited to go by myself and to not have to think about anyone else for the first time!
99 bucks for Steely Dan?
Well…I was really excited when it was announced that Steely Dan was coming to the VanAndel in October….I even went out to check ticket prices and saw that they were offering a 59 dollar ticket and thought that would be cool since there really are no bad seats there. But, this morning, I went out to check Ticketmaster and get signed on to get ready to buy a couple and the lowest price is now 99 bucks…now, if this was going to be the first time seeing them I’d pay it…and that would make it the most expensive concert ticket ever for me…but for the seventh time? Nope…the last time I saw them at Freedom Hill, the tickets were only 24 bucks for lawn seats and we were allowed to move into the 150 buck seats when a storm came through….I’m not going to rail against them for the tickets being so expensive…it’s just priced me out of the market is all….
August 11th
Well….got a pretty big surprise yesterday when I got an e-mail saying that Steely Dan is coming to the VanAndel here in GR…tickets go on sale today and I am going to try to get a pair…not sure why since I don’t have anyone to go with but I guess I could sell the second one…can’t really afford it but it would be cool to see SD here in town…had a pretty good day yesterday but didn’t get much done…and today looks the same….just don’t feel like doing much right now….don’t hurt too much today…no back pain or any other pain other than the normal stuff….I did make potato salad yesterday and got it pretty close to what I remember as a kid….I remember fishing with it on the hook…the bluegills loved it…I do have pool today and I am looking forward to it…haven’t driven the car at all in the past two weeks…more later….
Why not just give the country to the Russians?
Well…my outrage meter is back at the top again today with two more fricking idiocies and more treason from the idiot trump. I can’t believe this crap and I can’t believe that the congress is letting trump get away with it…it was announced today that the the Pentagon is in talks with the Russians to use their satellites to provide internet access to our soldiers on the battlefield…the stupidity of this move is just breathtaking…allowing Russia to read all the correspondence of our soldiers? There is more more than just personal correspondence that happens over the internet with our military….the entire military and it’s coordination happens over satellite communication…how many of you think that this connection wouldn’t be used to hack into the supposedly secure part that coordinates troop movements and communicates with our aircraft on the battlefield? Jesus, this is the stupidist thing I have ever frickin heard…we don’t have our own satellites? This is treason pure and simple and the simpleton in the White House should be frog marched out of his golf club and straight to a federal prison…how long, repubs? How long is treason going to be tolerated before you act to impeach and convict this idiot? The clock is ticking….impeach…
Infants in charge of foreign policy….
Well…have you ever seen the spectacle of the idiot trump and his minions threatening a little, backward country with nuclear holocaust in the history of the US? Could you imagine Roosevelt, or Lincoln saying they will reign down “fire and fury” on the Bahamas? That is about what the idiot did this week when he lowered the US to the level of the psychotic dictator of North Korea….I guess the entire world now knows how to push the idiots buttons…they know he is such an infant when it comes to foreign policy that they can manipulate him into anything they want him to do…just look what Putin has been able to do….and the idiot boy doesn’t even realize they are doing it…he just reacts, and reacts, and reacts…with no coherent idea of how the world works or how to get what the US wants. What we should be doing is just treating them like the flea they are…annoying, yes, but a threat to the US? Only to the repubs who are frickin scared of everything and run around with their hair on fire about every real or imagined threat. Repubs, is this dangerous enough for you? When are you going to stop this decline in American power? It’s all up to you, repubs…do your damn job….impeach….
August 10th
Well…running late today with the grocery run done this morning and I have lots more to do so it is going to be a busy morning…need to get my hair cut still and then over to ups to send the old phone off…so this one is going to be short since I still have to pack the old phone up….had the top down over to Meijers and left it down for the rest of the errands….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will get a lot done today after errands since it is going to rain….hope I can get the bike ride in dry since I don’t have a bag ready to fit the new phone in…I do need to cook today but that will late til later….okay, need to get started packing the phone…more later….
Is this enough repubs?
Well….does a sane person ever threaten nuclear war? After all of the idiocy of trump, yesterday should have been the final straw for the repubs in this country after trump threatened to rain down fire on North Korea…just like the bullying idiot that he is, trump took the bait from Kim Jong Un and lowered the US to his level by resorting to threats…threats that were not cleared through any agency but trump’s own diseased head…not the national security advisor, not the pentagon, not the joint chiefs of staff….just trump shooting his mouth off and trying to be the tough guy that he isn’t….now, threatening nuclear war should be the thing that gets the idiot removed for the safety of the world but now, the repubs are showing they are all party before country or the world….and, if we live to see 2018, they all need to go so some sanity can be restored to this country…and the world can start to respect us again…which will never happen with the idiot thrashing around with his delusional ideas of what diplomacy is…..impeach…
August 9th
Well…running a little early today and after day three of being good, I feel pretty good this morning…slept okay last night but still tossing and turning but I’ll take that….still pretty sore today after getting back on the bike yesterday but it was s good ride and I hope for another one today…but I need to wash the car today, too, so I can wax it later…..and I need to send the old phone back so I don’t get charged for it….I do like the new phone but almost screwed it up with an app that took over the phone and reconfigured it…got that fixed and I think I’ll live with it how it is for a while….I do need to try some new tones for the texts since it’s a little weird….not much to do today…need to move early today…going to wash the car as soon as I’m done with coffee so it will dry…and the glass is streaky and I need to double up on the ammonia to clean it…more later….
The laziest *president ever….
Well…with the idiot trump on his latest vacation…this one a 17 day affair…it is pretty obvious that trump is the laziest damn *president this country has ever had by a wide, wide margin….even though he protests that this vacation is full of “phone calls and meetings”, all you have to do is look at his normal schedule when he is at a golf course…18 holes takes him about 5 hours…maybe even 6…and then lunch for two hours, then he HAS to watch tv for at least 4 hours…and that would make a full day for the idiot in chief…where in there is the time for “phone calls and meetings”? And now, the idiot has banned any photographers from the golf course so there is no way to confirm what he is doing…and with the latest poll saying that almost 80% of the American people not believing a word that comes out of his mouth…what’s the point of even listening to him about anything…oh, and he cheats at golf, too….what a useless human being…impeach….
