Well…it was just another Tuesday yesterday but I survived it so that was a win in my book…didn’t get a lot done but I have a big project for today…going to clean the fridge for the first time in a couple of months and that will take some time…and, I’ll have it with the rain starting already and continuing the rest of the day…it’s only going to 43 today, too, so that is just too much weather for me to deal with right now….slept really crappy last night and I think I must have rolled 3 miles back and forth and I am sore for it…but that will be taken care of later….haven’t made a lot of cash lately so it looks like no groceries for next week since I have supplies that I need to buy…oh, well….looks like I clean out the freezer but there is not a lot in it…should thaw the last container of soup…..more later….

Disappearing trails….
Well…not sure what is going on with me but everything seems to be just so much damn effort today…getting out of bed, getting the papers, working out, the bike ride, and a trip out to get some allergy medicine just took everything out of me….hmmmm…but that’s not what this one is about…riding through the woods on the trail get to be pretty strange this time of the year with the leaves covering the entire thing…making it basically disappear….and it is a little disorienting to go into the woods and not remember which way the trail goes when the direction is not clear to me…pretty weird feeling today but I survived it…I may have to pay more attention on the bike since riding the same trail every day puts me on autopilot….
Now it’s insurance fraud….
Well…with all of the shady deals that the Donald has been involved in, I guess adding insurance fraud to the list is not too much of a surprise. At his resort in Florida, Trump got a an insurance payout of 17 million dollars for “hurricane damage” that was done in 2004 or 2005 but no one can remember ever seeing anywhere near that much damage…and in Palm Beach, you basically need a permit to do anything whether it is improvements or repairs but there were never any permits issued for the property….not one, so either he did 17 million dollars of repairs and didn’t pay for the permits…that would cost approximately 450K…or he and his cronies committed insurance fraud….and Donald freely admits he just pocketed the money. Now, I’m not an expert, but getting your insurance company to pay for non existent damage to your property seems to be fraud….no big surprise when Trump is involved…SAD…
October 25th
Well….had to turn the heat on for the first time last night and it is a little depressing…but, everything seems to be depressing lately so I guess that fits…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I did make enough cash to buy groceries this week so that’s something….I do need to clean the fridge and kitchen today and I am going to try to both…but if I get one or the other done it will be enough…I think I need a complete veg day and that looks like it will come tomorrow…supposed to be in the forties for a high temp and raining all day so I am going to take the day off the bike…maybe I should wait and do the cleaning tomorrow? I do have to remember to take some pain killers before the bike ride…it was agony yesterday…well…it hurt some and if I can do something about it, I should…..more later….
Trump and the polls…
Well….ha, ha, ha…we’re back to unskewing the polls again since the repubs just “know” that Donald can’t be 12 points behind as is shown in a new ABC poll. This is the same damn thing that they did in 2008 and 2012 when they “knew” that the polls were being rigged to over sample dems and they were going to win in the end…but, guess what? Their losses in both of those elections were even bigger than the polls showed at the time…maybe that same thing is going to happen this year? The Donald is just one of the most stupid people that I have ever seen…going on and on that all of the online polls show him winning and running his campaign as if he was in the lead….so, all I have to say is keep it up….and maybe the house will be in play, too…geez…
October 24th
Well…have had Pink Floyd’s “Time” running through my head all morning and I’m not sure what that means….okay…I do, but that just depresses me more and more as I think about it…oh, well….yesterday was just another wasted day and I’m not sure what to do about it…do you see a pattern? Man U stunk up the place yesterday and I guess they just fit in with all of the other teams I follow that stink….I still have hope for the Red Wings, though, but we’ll see tomorrow night if they are worth following this year….feel like crap today and I am cold this morning…didn’t put the heat on last night and probably will have to later in the week….okay….not feeling this right now and need more coffee so I am going to do that….more later…..
October 23rd
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday and I’m not sure why…..I guess I’m getting burned out on the election…it has been just so soul crushing to listen to Trump every day and then respond to him…but, I will try to get to it again today….didn’t do a lot yesterday but watch sports and today will probably be the same….have to get the bike ride in before Man U and Chelsea play at 11 but that might not be possible with it being in the thirties…I may have a cold today since I have been coughing like crazy all morning and don’t feel too hot…might just take a day off today and just veg it out…but that will fire up the guilts and I can’t have that….okay…need to read the paper and have the second cup of coffee…I do have a pork loin slow cooking in the oven for later that smells good but really don’t have an appetite…oh, well….
October 22nd
Well….running late this morning with working out some computer problems…and I didn’t get out of bed until 7:30 which is really late for me….oh, and I lost at pool yesterday but had tons of fun driving out and back with the top down so that was cool…don’t feel as bad as I should this morning and I’m not sure why…but I’ll take it….not even too sore…didn’t get much done yesterday since it was a Friday and today looks the same with all of the sports that are on…lots of races, football and soccer so at least I won’t be bored…and I have some work to do around here so it may be one of those days that I accomplish something…or, maybe not…who knows? I do know that I want to have more coffee as I wait for the temp to come up so I can get on the bike…need to get the rub on the pork loin for tomorrow but that will come later…..more later….
October 21st
Well….I still have that damn headache I’ve had for a couple of weeks now and I am getting tired of it…I know it’s allergies but I have that line from “Kindergarten Cop” in my head…”it’s a tumor” said in Swartzenegger’s voice….left a window open last night and it’s not a good idea when it’s 41 degrees…pretty darn cold in here but I refuse to put the heat on yet….too early….got a few things done yesterday but nothing really big…but, didn’t have anything big to do so I guess that’s okay….it’s pool day today and I think I may have to wear a fleece to put the top down out and back…at least it’s not going to rain…not much to do today….boy, haven’t used that line in a while…just pool and that is it….but, right now I need more coffee and to catch up on the news…more later….
The final debate….
Well….I’m sure you’re as glad as I am that the last debate is over and we don’t have to listen to the idiot Donald anymore. Anyone who still thinks that moron is even remotely qualified to be president is just as delusional as he is….and he showed his delusions last night….113 lies in an hour and a half is a new record for any political event. I really liked the way that Hillary just eviscerated him on abortion rights…okay…and everything else and the zinger “I was in the situation room when you were on your reality show” just highlighted the differences in experience that there is between the moron and Hillary. All in all, I was able to watch most of this one since I had confidence that Hillary would maul him and Trump would go off the rails again…and he did…with the worst statement by any candidate from any era…that he wouldn’t say if he’ll accept the results of the election….and just today at another speech (why he is still doing them is a mystery to me) he joked that he would accept the results “if he won” and showed again that he knows and cares nothing about the constitution…but, we really don’t have to worry about him winning…the latest polls put his chance of winning at under 8%…so, bye bye Donnie…and good riddance….sad….
