Well…an earlier start this morning and there is no reason for that either except that I wanted to get going…and try to get the brain working to see if it helps the rest of the day…slept okay last night…there is nothing better than a fresh bed to sleep in…I think it helps me sleep but it could just be bunk. Bunk…that a word I haven’t used in a while….after I got all my work done yesterday, it was nice to veg for a while…it was the first time all week and I think it will help me acclimate to working again..if that ever happens…I do have kind of a busy day today…have to do groceries this morning…then work out, and out to meet T for a late lunch….the Wings lost for the second time in a row and I am starting to get concerned about the playoffs…but that is just me I guess…I am going to get a few out today…but they will be in between working out and lunch…probably won’t be motivated to do them later but I am going to get a couple a day out over the weekend….more later…

A little more…
Well…it’s been an eventful last three days and I am still a little worn out…that’s probably from not sleeping well, too, but I can’t be sure..I hope it’s not just from getting old or I will be pissed…I did get the car fixed today and it is nice to have the stealth wreck back….and it wasn’t the repair that they did Tues…it was another break the they re-welded for me for free…and they removed a decrepit heat shield that had fallen down onto the pipes and that took care of a rattle that was driving me nuts…just hope the heat doesn’t start the carpet on fire…but it would be a good story, wouldn’t it? It was nice to finally have a few minutes to watch a movie this aft…”the Town” with Ben Affleck…an okay movie but nothing great….going to take the night off from cocktails tonight since I have lunch with T tomorrow and it is nice to be sharp when we meet….and you know the plan anyway…cocktails on Friday and Saturday only..just can’t afford the calories…..
I was going to do anther political one today but it’s just not working…don’t want to just write to write so I’ll end here….
The bait and switch is not working too well…
Well…I have to be heartened by the news here in Michigan and across the country that the electorate is starting to wake up to the odorous tricks that the repubs have used to get elected…specifically, the lies and obfuscations of the their true agenda that includes breaking all of organized labor and the continued transfer of wealth from the middle class to the rich. Here in Michigan, the people bought into the “tough nerd” label that Snyder used in his campaign and elected him, only to be shown that he is no different from any repub out there; with his tax cuts for the rich being paid for by the poor and the middle class. His approval numbers have plummeted since he revealed himself for what he is…just another millionaire businessman who does not care one whit about the people of Michigan..just about rewarding his cronies.
This mirrors the national trend in the polls where the majority of people do not support the draconian cuts to social programs that the repubs propose, and they also don’t support the dismantling of unions, the environment, or regulations designed to rein in the worst of the financial thieves. So, where do the repubs get the idea that the majority supports their agenda? Oh, that’s right, they don’t care…the public doesn’t elect them, big money does….there is finally a glimmer that the majority of us want a reasonable country where there are protections for the ordinary famliy, not just for people that have money and connections. Can we hope?
March 3rd
Well…it was a really busy day yesterday and I hope I can get back to the normal routine today and get some comments done…I do have to take the wreck back in this morning to see if they can do the exhaust job right for once and I am starting to get irritated about it….was up about 4:30 this morning when I got a couple of texts from T…made me laugh and was a good start to the day…I did get a little more sleep since then and feel pretty good tight now…it’s kind of nice what taking a day off from cocktails can do for you…I just hope that once I get the car done I can relax a little..but I do have another busy day with the need to go out for supplies and try to find parts for the equipment that failed a couple of days ago….learned a lot up in MP yesterday so I think I can fix it on my own…not much else to do today…the Wings lost last night and have another one against the Sharks tonight but I can’t wait for the west coast swing to be over so the games will start at a reasonable hour… I will have more post for later since there are topics that I haven’t dealt with and I miss being productive…more later….
I made it!
Well…it just dawned on me that I made it through February without once mentioning sister Sarah and her traveling circus of crazy…it wasn’t easy…well…it really was since the repubs always have newer and crazier people that are constantly stepping up to the plate to amaze and astound me….along with the golden oldies like Rush, Rick Santorum, and any of the other “leadership” that passes for deep thinkers on the right.
So….everyone is fair game again and I will promise you that I will have some substance over the next couple of days….it has been a weird couple of days and I can’t remember being so busy…
March 2nd
Well….yeah, I know, not additional posts yesterday but I did have a lot to do and didn’t feel that great all day….don’t feel much better today but have to take the wreck back in since they didn’t get it right…lost at pool, too, but there was just something off that I’m not sure what the problem is….just hope it goes away as the day progresses…..not much to do today…have to stop at G’s for a sec and then the normal routine…I promise I’ll get more out today since I’m already a couple behind for the month….more later…
Okay…just got back…had to go to Mt. Pleasant to pick up some equipment and it is tiring to go over 200 miles with no food…but, I just put dinner in and I have a few minutes for it to cook so I thought I’d update before I get to any other topic…didn’t even read all of my news papers since I wanted to get going once I decided to go….it was nice to see C’s farm and his dog Ren again…and it was not too tough to find it even without GPS…I did have to use a map, though, but I think it is so easy to find I think I can find it again…we’ll see…I am going to try to get one more out today…or three tomorrow…not sure yet…just wanted to do a little more…
March 1st
Well…a fun night last night out at Great Lakes…feel like crap this morning and I have to take the car in in a few minutes….not looking forward to that at all….laughed a ton and met some new people that was a hoot….so, of course the brain is not working at all today and I am going to keep this one short until I get back around 10 or so…might even skip the coffee shop to come back here and nurse the wounds since I have to go out this aft to shoot pool….I will try to get a couple out later today but I’m not sure…more later…
Okay…I’m back for a while…did get the car fixed this morning and it only took about a half hour since they did order the part yesterday when I stopped in….now I just need to get the brakes fixed and it will be good to go through the rest of the winter….yeah, it is still winter here in Michigan for a few more weeks and I can’t wait for it to be over…the sun is shining today, though, so that make it easier to endure…still thinking about coming back with another one later but it’s not looking too good right now…did not sleep last night so I need to get a nap in before I go out to shoot pool….
