Well…haven’t really talked much about the election this fall but I’m going to do a shorty on fundraising since modern elections run on money…first, for the idiot trump, all of the money he has been raising has been going right into his legal fund to pay all of the lawyers he needs for all of his civil and criminal trials…and that is well over 100 million dollars that isn’t leaving much cash to support candidates other than trump…and that is going to be a problem in the fall…on our side there was a fundraiser in NYC earlier in the week that had the last three dem presidents taking part that raised 26 million dollars in one night…and unlike idiot boy, this money is going into opening 300 offices across the country to do outreach to the voters and campaign advertising and GOTV…and that includes house and senate candidates….and we are going to have Obama and Clinton out there every day singing the praises of Joe’s accomplishments which I have said they need to get better at that…I think we may win this thing…
March 29th
Well…damn, it’s a miracle…slept through the whole night and that hasn’t happened in years…I wonder how that is going to feel later on today…had this feeling that it was Friday all day yesterday and looked at the soccer match listings to see what EPL games were on…I guess that’s to be expected when I don’t have anywhere to be anymore…it’s still damn cold out here at 25 degrees and I really can’t wait for it to warm up some…I am going to try to get a ride in outdoors today…will need to air up the tires on the outdoor bike since I haven’t done them in a month and they do leak down over time…I do want to get on the indoor bike here in twenty minutes or so to get the day started…need to figure out meals after the leftovers are gone and I think I’ll make another batch of potato soup to use up the ham so I can start on the freezer…have had onion rings on my mind since I bought them 3 weeks ago but I guess they will wait for a few more days…not going to make the 2K goal on the bike and I’m a little disappointed in that…but the damn weather hasn’t cooperated but that’s Michigan in the spring….not much to do today…15 minutes til I get on the bike…89 days in a row on the bike…not sure if that’s a good thing or not…more later…
Another easy day…
Well…had a lot of things to do today but it was still a pretty easy one today…got the first ride in and then went out to run an errand since I was running low on milk and a few other things that I forgot Tuesday…then back here for the second ride and a little cleaning up and a lot of reading this afternoon…it never got over 36 out here today but it is supposed to be over 40 tomorrow so I’ll get outside on the bike if it’s not too windy…so that will be three rides for 3 days and will add 90 miles to the totals but will still be almost 150 miles short of the goal…but I then can start making up for it next week with temps in the upper 40′s until the end of the week when it is going to get into the mid 50′s to around 60 for a few days…I’ll be able to try out my new riding gloves that I really like for 11 bucks…the times of the service for my brother on the 13th have been changed with visitation at 1 and the service at 2pm…some screw up by the funeral home…oh, well…
Was it Jewish space lasers?
Well…it really didn’t take long for the crackpot conspiracy theorists to go crazy over the bridge in Maryland that a boat took down when it crashed into it this week…I wonder how long it will take for someone to get to “it was Jewish space lasers” part of the story? After all, there was one out yesterday that posited that it was Russian agents who took over the ship and sabotaged it so it would hit the bridge…it couldn’t be that the cheap shipping company didn’t keep up on the maintenance of the ship and it had a catastrophic power failure and the anchors on it weren’t strong enough to stop the ship when they were dropped…nope, that would be too much like reality for the nuts out there…there was even one congress woman who said it was Jo Biden’s fault for passing the infrastructure law and not being on the scene to personally stop the ship…yep, I’m not making that up…or that teaching climate change in schools was the cause…yeah, I never said these morons make sense…I just wonder how it feels to sound this stupid…it must feel good to them since they just keep on making stuff up…Jewish space lasers…yeah, that’s the ticket…geez…
March 28th
Well…running a bit late this morning with not getting out of bed til a little after 6…and the moonlight streaming through my bedroom window got me out of bed since it was so bright but I didn’t mind that…have some errands to run this morning after getting the first bike ride in…it’s still only 33 degrees out here and it’s not getting much warmer today and I am really tired of it…should be able to get out on the bike Saturday as the small warm up comes…still feel worn out today and I wonder when I’ll get some energy again…head is still plugged up from allergies and I think I’ll take some flonase for it before I get on the bike…didn’t get much done yesterday but didn’t have to since the place is clean but, as it warms up, yard work will fill the time…need to get out to menards for spring lawn food soon…probably next week…I should go to the library tomorrow to make sure I don’t run out of books to read…not much to do today…just the bike rides and errands but that is going to be enough effort for the day….more later…
What a pain…
Well…it was a pain this morning when my site wasn’t working and it appears it was from an update by comcast…and that set me back for the whole day and I’m just now catching up…got quite a bit done with two rides, laundry, and a haircut…and I made a ham and Swiss sandwich on the sourdough bread my son baked and brought over Sunday…and I did carve out some time to read that I am going to try to continue here in a minute…have felt a little worn out all day today and is probably the weather and the trees that are now blooming…have had a sinus headache all day that I’m going to have to treat later…but right now I’m going to read a bit…
I’ve talked about this before…
Well…everything he touches dies…you know I’ve talked about this before, but with the utter collapse of the pillow guys company even before the lawsuits go to trial that was announced yesterday, I’ve got to say it again…anything the idiot trump touches dies…and I sit here thinking about what these people have done to themselves in service of one of the worst people on the planet…where would rudy be today if he had the smarts to run the other way when idiot boy came down that gold escalator…he sure wouldn’t be having all of his property seized to pay off the 148 million dollar defamation judgement in Georgia…and where would ronna romney be if she didn’t throw in with idiot boy? She may still have the NBC job that was rescinded yesterday…and the pillow guy might still have his business..even though they are shitty pillows and it was probably going to fail after people found out…I still can’t figure it out why they doubled and tripled down in the ride to the bottom that could have been avoided if they had one ounce of smarts…I don’t feel for them, though…they all should be in jail…geez…
March 27th
Well…this site was down for a bit and I’m in the middle of a bike ride…will be back in a half hour to add to this…more later…okay, I’m back so let’s get to it…damn, I’m getting tired of the cold…it’s almost April and the high is going to be 35 degrees today…but it does look like we’ll get to the 50′s next week so I’ll be able to get outside on the bike and get caught up on the miles…slept okay last night but I had to slather voltaren and biofreeze on since everything hurt…and it still does so I’ll do that again after the second ride…other than that ride, don’t have much to do today so I’m going to take the afternoon off and read some…the wind just howled out here yesterday and it’s going to start up again this afternoon…so I’ll have to pick up more branches from the yard…I did get some of the grass seed to sprout where the the tree was taken out but not much in the other two spots I seeded….not much to do today…just need to get back on the bike in 15 minutes but I’m going to finish the coffee first….more later…
Boy, these people are dumb..
Well…to all of the private investors buying stock in the idiot trump’s latest scam, boy you’re really dumb…just yesterday stock in his “truth social” went on sale for it’s IPO and no institutional investor has even touched one share of the stock…and you can see why when you look at the financial performance over the past year…first it only had about 1.3 million dollars in revenue…mostly advertising from various right wing assholes…and the company lost 49 million dollars last quarter…and it is bleeding users from a peak of 5 million…to compare, Mastodon just went over 15 million uses and it is continually added more…so, as always this really looks like a “pump and dump” where the stock price is artificially inflated, and then trump will sell all of his stock…crashing the price after he steals all the money…and the breathless punditry is screaming all over that now trump has gained 6 billion dollars from the IPO…but the economists in the know just point at the financials and say that a company that has never made a profit and will never make a profit surely is not worth what the liar trump says it is…how dumb do you have to be to continue to give idiot boy your money? I guess we’re going to find out…geez…
March 26th
Well…damn, my eyes are really bad this morning and I think part of it is my flaring allergies…I am just so worn out today that it is going to be a struggle to get on the bike in 14 minutes…slept okay last night with only getting up once at around 3 and then lying there in bed until a little after 6…but that means only about 4 hours of real sleep and I am going to be worn out later…have been on the bike for almost 90 days in a row and I’m feeling it…I’m not as sore as I was fearing after getting three rides in yesterday and riding out in the wind…I did hurt my ribs again and that sucks…but it’s not as bad as before so I think it’s healing some…might do the grocery run this morning since I’m running out of milk and it’s only going to be in the 30′s tomorrow…damn, I want spring to come…don’t have a lot to get at the grocery stores this week and I want to continue cleaning out the freezer…have had onion rings in there for two weeks and haven’t even opened them yet but I still have ham and pizza leftovers that will last the rest of the week…then I’ll make it a project to eat freezer food for a couple of weeks…not much to do today…need to get moving right now but the coffee is not working yet and I have no energy at all…but I’ll suck it up and get on the bike right now…more later…
