Well….running on time today and that’s even with doing the grocery run today….and I feel okay today if a little sore…did the entire 15 miles at full sprint yesterday and I’m not sure how that happened…must have been the three cups of coffee and the Black Sabbath that was playing in the ears….and eating enough the day before…not sure if I ate enough yesterday to make today a good ride but we’ll see….I did get to lay out and try to even out the biker tan yesterday and something pretty funny happened…I had my earbuds in and the cord left a white mark on my chest that looks like one of those Y-shaped autopsy scars you see on tv all the time…still laughing about that one….not much to do today….I am going to do the kitchen floor and cook some today…got some chicken thighs for 88 cents a pound this morning but I think I’ll do leftovers instead…more later….

Calder Cup champions….
Well… almost forgot to do this one today….our Grand Rapids Griffins won the Calder Cup as American Hockey League champions here in GR last night…didn’t get to a game this year with being broke but it was cool to see the celebration on tv after they won….and to see the first championship won by a GR hockey team since around 1950….so, congrats guys…hope to see some of you in Detroit next fall….

Well…running early today and I think it’s because I’m bored and couldn’t take just sitting here doing nothing…it was an okay day yesterday…didn’t get a lot done but I did get the bike fixed and got a nice, long ride in…tried to eat more yesterday and I may have been successful…have been exhausted the past few days and I hope that is past…..but it is still a struggle to get over 1500 calories for the day….not sure if I’m going to get out on the bike for a while since it looks like there are some small storms that are coming through in a few minutes and it is going to rain a lot in the next few days so there may be a day off the bike in there…so I’ll have to fill that time with cleaning…and I need to…not much to do today….and that’s true…more later….
An observation about old tv….
Well….after getting rid of the dish and having to rely on what channels that I can get on the antenna for most of the day, I noticed a weird thing….even though there are many well rated old tv shows on, the only ones I watch are the ones that I watched when they were not in re-runs….and I find that kind of funny…I mean “Good Times” was well rated and quite popular when I was young but I never watched it then and I have no desire to watch it now….and that pattern goes to many shows that have been extremely popular but I just never got into them…”Grey’s Anatomy” comes to mind or any of the “NCIS” series that have been on…have never watched any of those either and some of them were the most popular in their time…not sure what it all means but just an observation….
Don’t get too excited abut Sessions….
Well…counting down to 2:30 this aft and the testimony of Jeff Sessions about his role in the Russia scandal and the breathlessness of some on the left is misguided in my mind…now, I’ll be the first to say that I was a little off about the Comey testimony..with it being much more explosive than I expected but he had an axe to grind that Sessions doesn’t…the only thing that Sessions is trying to do is cover his own ass and try to stay out of jail for his part in the obstruction so I really don’t expect him to say much even though the dem senators have some useful questions to ask…including why he lied to the senate during his confirmation hearings and didn’t disclose the third meeting he had with the Russian ambassador….I really want to know what they talked about…or get it confirmed that he was talking about lifting the sanctions that Obama put on them for interfering in the election….one other question that I want asked is why isn’t the idiot trump concerned with continued interference in our democracy by the Russians? He never talks about it or does anything about it…that kind of leaves the impression that he thinks it’s okay that the Russians hacked 39 state election systems last year and used the information to elect trump. I will be watching until ole Jeff makes me sick with his lies…might just wait for analysis later in the aft….impeach…

Well…running really early today…started this one before 7 but the site has been a little hinky and I am just now getting it to work….slept okay last night, finally, and feel okay this morning….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and probably won’t today….I do need to cook since all of the leftovers are gone so it will be pork stir fry for lunch….I did put the air on for the first time last night since it was still 86 at 10 and I was dripping….still don’t want to run it all the time since I like the heat…hope I have the bike fixed and can get a trouble free ride in….need to do that soon since there may be some storms coming…I can hope anyway….more later….
Not sure what’s going on….
Well…have just been feeling off the past couple of weeks and I’m not sure what is going on….I know part of it is being broke and having some big decisions to make over the next month or so but there have been little things that are happening that just keep highlighting the precarious position that I find myself in…like today, the damn bike shifted down to the center front sprocket and wouldn’t shift back up and I had to figure that one out…and it just pointed out that the bike is just about done and I can’t afford to buy another one….that is the one thing that that keeps me sane and I just can’t have it go away right now….and I should be having a drink right now but I can’t since I have to show some discipline and think about my liver….and that’s a pain, too…I’m tired of thinking of stuff like that…I guess I’m just basically tired….oh, well….tomorrow will be better…or it won’t…who knows?
Need to get moving…
Well…just haven’t been feeling it lately…not sure if it’s being depressed or just uninterested….all I know is these have become much more difficult to do…but I’ll take a swing at it…not sure if you saw the news today where the idiot trump invited reporters into the cabinet meeting just so they could see his synchophants fawn all over him as he stood there with that stupid grin on his face lying about all of his “bigly” accomplishments…the best accomplishments…better than any *presidents…after about a minute, I got sick to my stomach and turned it off….I wonder if just seeing the idiot has had something to do with my depression? What a poor excuse for a human being….okay, this one is not one of my better ones but I’ll get back in the groove soon….impeach….
June 12th
Well…wasted another day yesterday and I’m not sure why…okay…I did get dishes and laundry done so I guess it wasn’t totally wasted….and I did a long bike ride so I guess that counts, too….my back was okay until I got back from the bike ride but then it hurt the rest of the day and that was pretty annoying….it was pretty warm yesterday but I kept the air off and I am going to try to do that again today….still haven’t gotten the electric bill down where I need it…only down 80 bucks and i need it to get down 100….not much to do today….just can’t get started so I think I’ll just ease into the day…more later….

Well…running a little late today…just can’t get started and I think my internet has the same disease….it has been pretty iffy all morning…trying to watch the moto gp race and it wouldn’t start….and my website has been slow, too….oh, well….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same but I do have to do my kitchen…I think I said that yesterday, too….my back has flared again this morning and it hurts like crazy….won’t keep me off the bike but it will hurt…going to take something for it in a minute…didn’t win the powerball last night but someone in Cali did…so I think I’ll be depressed for the next couple of days….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that and watch the race…more later….
