Well…as every day goes by and more and more people interact with the idiot trump, the rumblings of his removal get louder and louder…and just today, Carl Bernstein, of Watergate fame, tweeted that important republicans, conservatives, intel-military higher ups that he has talked to are increasingly saying in private that trump is unfit to be president….and this is because of his lack of ethics, competence, and temperament/stability…and he calls on other reporters to find out how pervasive these feelings are. Now, I wonder if this ever happened to Obama? Or any other *president in memory…nope…just this idiot, this moron, this incurious tiny little prick of a man…this racist white supremacist…who is a stain on this country and I am sure will spend the rest of his days in prison after Mueller gets done….and he is just so dumb that he thinks things are just fine…okay, repubs…when are you going to do something about this? When are you going to remove this idiot and start repairing our status in the world? Impeach….
August 15th
Well…running really early today and it’s just because I got up so early….didn’t sleep too well last night with all the new stuff going on so I guess I’ll get used to it….was really sore all day yesterday and today is starting out the same…not sure how I hurt everything…even have pain in my sides that I never get….but, I think some ibuprofen should take car of that….even working on this without coffee as I wait for it to finish…and that’s really early….I am a little nervous about hearing from the mortgage broker today and finding out I don’t qualify for a loan…that would be crappy….I did talk to my oldest son for a couple of hours yesterday and that was nice…we are so much alike that is it a little weird….not much to do today….going to clean some but that is about it….going to make ham soup tomorrow since I need to stretch the food dollars for the next 6 weeks….just ran out of money so there will be a lot of cheap pasta and water for quite a while….more later….
A house….
Well…have been thinking about this for quite a while but today I got the process started to find and buy a house….I guess what spurred the whole thing is finding out my life insurance has 45K in cash value that I can use for a down payment….and I just talked to my brother the realtor and he is going to refer me to a mortgage broker he works with to get that process started…he is also setting up an automated search process that will e-mail me listings every day…just ran the numbers and on a 60K mortgage, the payment is 249 bucks a month…and even adding in the taxes, electric, heat, and internet, the payment is almost 100 bucks less than just my rent payment here….the only sticking point is that I’m just going to have my SS for income….I am getting excited to be moving on with my life….and, if I continue to live frugally, it can be a good one….and then I can work or not work….
August 14th
Well…running a little early today since I have been up for quite a while….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of and that is a disappointment….my back has been good for the past few days and I’m not sure why…but I’ll take it…haven’t really had any pain and that is a good thing….I did get the shifter on the bike adjusted and it is working great again….but there is a huge squeak that I can’t find and that is really annoying….will have to try to fix that before I go out this morning…didn’t get anything done yesterday and I am feeling a little depressed this morning so I may not get anything done today, either….it’s not like I have that much to do….more later…..
Nazis are still a thing?
Well…man, how much worse can this country get under trump? Now we have Nazis in the street trying to “protect” a statue of Robert E. Lee…you know, the noted traitor who led an army trying to destroy this country just to make sure they could still own slaves. Yesterday, these idiots held a “rally” in Charlottesville Virginia where their only purpose was to scream their racist crap and beat up people who oppose them. One of the idiots, after carrying around signs and swastika flags, got in his car and drove at high speed into the crowd opposing them, killing a young woman protester and injuring 30 more….now, I lay this right at the idiot trumps feet and I’m still waiting (like the rest of the world) for him to denounce these Nazis…but what does trump say? The same old both sides so it crap that the repubs have been pushing for years to make their nastiness seem less so…he couldn’t just say that this Nazi crap is unacceptable…nope, because he believes the same crap and pushed it throughout the campaign and so far into his *presidency….when are you going to end this repubs? Impeach….
The Premier League starts…
Well…it’s one of my favorite days of the year with the English Premier League starting up this morning…well..it actually started Friday but it’s not really a start until Man U plays…and they just finished up demolishing West Ham 4-0 and looked like the Man U of old….Lukaku is going to be a great addition at forward getting 2 today and the addition of Matic in the midfield will also be something to see. So, I am pretty geeked about the season…especially after how terrible they started last year….
August 13th
Well…running a little late today…almost forgot to do this before getting on the bike…slept okay last night but I know I didn’t eat enough so I’ll probably be out of energy by the time I get back…just haven’t felt like eating lately….didn’t get much done yesterday but I will have to do better today…the bathroom needs to be cleaned so I think I’ll try to do that today…I do need to get most things done before 11 when Man U plays…but the race doesn’t start til 3 so I’ll have some time after the match is over…I do have to adjust the fine shifting before I ride today but that shouldn’t take too much time…I hope anyway…..more later….
Some stuff….
Well…ave been having a nice day other than breaking a shift cable on the bike and having to ride it home with it in top gear….but, I have a new one on it already and it just needs fine adjustment…that needs to wait until the adhesive on the new shims dries….I did get my new case for the new phone and I really like it for 8 bucks…built really well and feels good in my hand…and now I don’t worry so much with dropping it…still don’t think it will protect like an otterbox but it is not as bulky, either….I did get some info from my life insurance company and found that my policy is much smaller than I thought…but, it does have 45 grand in cash value and I think I may cash it in and put a down payment on a house if I can find one for about 100K….that would make the payments only about 350 bucks a month…less than half what I’m paying in rent…maybe I’ll get my brother on finding me one….need to be out of here by November…that would be really cool……
August 12th
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!
