Well…haven’t done one of these on sports in quite a while so I think it’s about time…I forgot to update when Man U won the Europa league Wednesday and that puts them in the Champion’s League for next year but that also ended the BPL season for the year…there is one more match tomorrow for the FA Cup and that should be a good one between Chelsea and Arsenal. There is so much sports on this weekend that the whole thing starts in about a half hour with Carb day from Indy and then F1 practice after that…then F1 qualifying from Monaco tomorrow morning, and the Xfinity race in the afternoon…then Sunday is raceday of the year with F1 from Monaco at 8…Indy at 11 and then the Coke 600 at 6…needless to say, I won’t be leaving the couch much Sunday….or the rest of the weekend for that matter….at least I won’t be bored….and I’ll be napping a lot…..
May 26th
Well….running a little early today with getting up quite early….and I feel okay this morning…the new handgrips on the bike have me using new muscles and I have pain in my forearms today…but, I do like the way they make the bike feel so I guess I’ll live with it….I did get out to have a couple with T yesterday and it was good to see her….had some laughs and caught up on everything….didn’t do much else and today looks the same with pool later today…I did get lots of food yesterday so I should be able to get caught up on my calories…have had cramps in my calves lately and I hope the bananas with fix that….the hand brake on the car is still hanging a little but it is much better….I think I’ll hit the drivers side with penetrating oil to try to fix that…not sure when…not today…more later….
Trump truly is a baby…
Well….I am shaking my head with the despicable display that the idiot trump put on today in Europe…my god, what a frickin baby…to get to the center of a picture with our NATO allies, the baby actually pushed the PM of Montenegro out of the way…manhandling him like the thug that he is…and then he followed that up with an “Ugly American” speech to NATO members where he did nothing but bitch and complain that the NATO countries “owe” the US for being part of the alliance….and let’s top this debacle off with trump ranting that the Germans are “bad, bad people” and that he is going to stop them selling cars in the US…but the idiot doesn’t know that most of the cars they sell here are made here…so he is going to put thousands of Americans out of work just because of his ignorance? I am just so damn tired of this ignorant asshole blowing up our status in the world…and the Europeans were openly laughing at him during his speech..this is making America the laughingstock of the world…impeach….
May 25th
Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and having to put gas in the car….the parking brake on the car hung up again this morning but just a little bit so I think I’ll just leave it alone for a few days and see how it works…not too sore this morning so I think I’ll dot he bike ride without ibuprofen and see how that feels….I do like the new handgrips that I put on it the other day…they keep my wrists straighter and they don’t cramp as much so that is cool….didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same with maybe having lunch with T later….but, I will get the bike ride in here in a minute…not until I have more coffee….more later…..
Comey’s actions were part of the Russian plot…
Well…I know you all witnessed James Comey’s actions last summer that led to the idiot trump being elected…his news conference where he scolded Clinton and then said there were no laws broken? It now appears that entire thing was based on a fake letter from the Russians that asserted that Loretta Lynch was going to stop the investigation into the Clinton e-mail fiasco. So, Comey, with no consultation with the justice department since he didn’t trust Lynch because of the fake letter, wanted to assert his authority in the investigation and not let it get derailed…even though the investigation was essentially over. Comey was duped into the news conference by the Russians as part of their overall plan to damage Clinton and get the idiot trump elected….it was not an isolated incident, but just another of the moving parts that the Russians had in play….think of that, trump voters…you were duped just like the head of the FBI…do you feel better now? Impeach….
The leaker in chief strikes again…
Well…another day, another betrayal of one of our allies…this time the leaker in chief’s people leaked the name of the bomber that killed 22 people in Manchester, against the explicit request of UK intelligence since there was an ongoing investigation that was looking for any other people that may have been involved. Yep, this damn administration can’t do anything right, can’t keep any promise they make to anyone…and, with this one, they may have put many more people in danger by their stupidity….but, they don’t give a damn…they just are so stupid and unaware of the damage they are causing…is there enough now to impeach, repubs? Cripes, what a bunch of losers….impeach…
I think it’s fixed….
Well…..now I’m a little confused about the car…went out to work on it this morning; to replace the anti rattle spring and then work on the hand brake…I had it all worked out in my head to use the scientific method of controlling for variables to find out where the problem was…but after I put the spring back on and pulled the brake on to see where it was sticking, it wasn’t on either side…and now I’ve used it a few more times and it seems to be fixed….now, I’m not sure if it was the penetrating oil that I put on the linkages or that I greased the pins when I was putting the new pads on…both of those things are problem areas that I read about on Miata net but I guess it really doesn’t matter as long as it works….feels good to know that I can still fix the car when I need to….
May 24th
Well….sore as heck from using a bunch of new muscles working on the car yesterday…my back is tight and painful so I guess there will be ibuprofen this morning…and I do need to work on it some more today to try to sort out why the parking brake is sticking…..didn’t do a whole lot else yesterday but I think I did enough with being busy into the afternoon…the brakes on the car are better with having useful pads on the back….they were down to the thickness of two sheets of paper….other than the car…not much to do today….I am going to clean some today but that is about it….more later….
Trump the job saver?
Well…we all know that the idiot trump lies as he breathes and takes credit for everything good that happens in the US while blaming all the bad stuff on Obama or anyone else…it’s never his fault. Before the election, the idiot toured a Carrier Manufacturing plant and promised the workers there that he had done “the greatest deal” to save their jobs…and this lie was eaten up by the idiot workers there who then voted for trump…but, guess what? Trump didn’t do a damn thing…Carrier today announced that 600 more jobs are being eliminated or moved to Mexico…the same 600 jobs that idiot boy took credit for saving….how do you feel about that trump voters? You voted for the idiot that promised to save your jobs but you knew he is the biggest liar in this country…how does that work? This one time he was telling the truth? That he ever gave a damn about anything but lying to you to get elected? The delusions that trump voters sold to themselves are still doing their jobs…they still believe the liar in chief…I think we should just abandon them and let them live in their fox news bubble…we don’t need them anyway if we just turn out to vote….impeach….
Busy morning…
Well….it has been a pretty busy morning with the normal stuff but then putting new brakes on the back of the car…I thought it was going to be a hard job but it was really quite easy once I got into it…just a new type of caliper that I had to understand…even though it was easy, I did do a lot of damage to my hands…stuck a screwdriver into my left hand getting the anti rattle springs off and then bled all over everything for the rest of the job…and I have a big scrape on my right wrist that I have no clue how I got….and I lost one of those tiny springs on the passengers side that I did find after I had everything put back together so that will be a job for another day….the parking brake is still sticking a little so I may have to work on that another time…it does release if I yank on it a couple of times so I don’t think it’s any big deal….and greasing the slider pins may help that….at least it’s done…not sure if the brakes work any better but they should after I bed them in some…..the old ones were really, really thin….
