Well….running late today since I didn’t get up until 7:30…not sure why that happened but it does set me back for the day…and it was a tie at pool yesterday….had a nice drive out and back but got a little burned even with 30 sunscreen on….might have to buy some different stuff….my back was okay most of the day yesterday but it does hurt today….I think I’ll try putting it back in place with the weight machine again today….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to do more today….need to clean up around here today but need to do the workout and get a ride in first….more later….

Well…just can’t get going today and I know why but won’t share it….okay…wasn’t good last night and that’s the reason…I did watch the really strange episode of Twin Peaks last night and it was probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen…some Fellini, some Kubrick but totally strange….didn’t get anything done yesterday but clean up after the drain problems…and I’m not sure if I’ll get much done today either…I am going to wash the car here in a few minutes so I can wax it later…and I need to go get some drain cleaner since my shower drain is plugged now…what a pain….more later….
You can probably tell….
Well….have been staying away from the idiot trump for a couple of days and you can probably tell….just don’t want to have anything to do with his tweets attacking Morning Joe…now, the two hosts shoulder a lot of blame for trump getting elected…giving him millions and millions of dollars in free air time throughout the election, and what did they expect? There is no one who has ever come into contact with the idiot that he didn’t attack at some point….so why the surprise? Or the outrage at the lies included in all the tweets? They HAVE met the idiot so they should not be surprised at anything he does…studying for the G20 summit? Nope tweeting insults at tv hosts. Trying to understand the repubs horrible “healthcare” bills….nope, going off to golf again. Not only is trump the most stupid “president”, he is also the laziest…if he works more than an hour a day we would all be in trouble….impeach…
July 2nd
Well…running a little late today and almost forgot to come here and do this one…..with all of the work being done around here yesterday, I didn’t have the chance to get into my routine and that threw me off for the day….slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today other than my back is sore again and I just feel creaky today…going to take some ibuprofen here in a minute before I get on the bike to try to keep the pain down some…I do need to continue to clean today and the kitchen needs it most with all of the sludge and crap that was all over the floor…not going to do much else today other than cook….more later…..
More drain problems…
Well….it has been a pretty crappy day today with the drain in my kitchen plugging up again today and flooding the whole damn thing again…they have been working on it all day and I am still waiting for the outside plumbers to come and finish it….the damn thing had so much pressure in it this morning that it blew the drain pipe off and flooded the kitchen…..okay, they were just here and it appears they have fixed the problem…the drain works better than it has in years and I am now running the dishwasher to try it out a little more….
July 1st
Well….running a little early today and I’m not sure why….other than getting up too damn early….had a pretty good day yesterday but no pool…I did get out to see a friend I haven’t seen in 5 years and that was cool…but didn’t get much else done and today will be much the same…I need to get the bike ride in here in a minute but I need coffee first….my back has been iffy again and I’m not sure why….not hurting now but it probably will on the bike….need to do a long one today with doing short ones the past two days…really don’t have anything to do until the race is on at noon so that will work out…more later….
Trump is being manipulated….
Well…have been meaning to get to this one since last week but I just haven’t had the time….well…I have had the time but just didn’t get to it….a little story that I read last week still is kinda scary…that intelligence agencies across the globe, both friends and enemies, have been tracking the idiot trumps social media accounts and have been building strategies to manipulate him based on his reactions to things that people have said in the past. Even though people think he’s pretty unpredictable, these agencies know that they can get him to do what they want with just the right “news” article or tweet…and you just have to see the tweet shitstorm that he had Thursday in response to an unflattering commentary on Morning Joe….these agencies are experts in manipulating intelligent people…just think how easy it is to manipulate an idiot. So now the “president” is being manipulated daily and he doesn’t even realize it…and he doesn’t think that keeping the Russians from continued meddling in our country is worth putting any time into…taking healthcare away from 30 million Americans? Yep…highest priority…..impeach…
June 30th
Well…running a little late today…just can’t get started and part of that is I wasn’t good last night….but I’m going to justify that with the holiday weekend…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today…have even been out already running an errand with the top down in the car…needed some more sunscreen and I forgot the eggs I need for potato salad that I am going to make tomorrow…had a nice time meeting up with T yesterday and we had quite a few laughs…lots of fun….but that set me on the path to not being good last night…and I blame that on her…..didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks the same….need to get a bike ride in this morning and I will need to take something for the pain in my thighs….then out for pool later…..that’s about it…will clean tomorrow…..
Okay…no pool today…tom has to work…
June 29th
Well….running a little late today with doing the grocery run this morning…and I feel pretty crappy today with going out to have a couple with G…and that was fun so that was cool….didn’t sleep much last night for the second day in a row and I’m feeling it right now….but, I am going to try to get on the bike after coffee and work that out….if it doesn’t rain….I did get the top down going over to Meijers and that was cool….didn’t eat much yesterday but I am going to try to fix that today…just no energy….not much to do today…going to try to clean a little but that will be it….and I am going out to meet up with T later so that will be fun…more later….
I feel a little humbled…
Well…just had to relate something that happened on the trail today that left me a little humbled…as you know, I feel pretty good about the fact that I can still go out and go hard on the bike for 15 miles every day at my advanced age…but today I was a little humbled by a conversation I had with one of the regulars that I wave to every day but had never talked before now. I’ve always thought that this person was maybe 70 or so since he walks with such vigor when I see him…but today I found out he just turned 90 years old when he stopped to talk at a water stop. Now, I have to say that I want to be in that shape at 90…and be able to do what Mike does…pretty cool….
