Well…running a little late today since I fell asleep on the couch after I got up…yep, that darn bug is making me that tired and that is something I never do…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done but I felt pretty crappy all day…feel that way again today so it looks like it will be a take it easy day today…after I work out and ride the bike…will probably make it a short one today and will go a little easy….and, my back is back to hurting again and that is just so disappointing after having a couple of days without pain…oh, well….it’s about 65 degrees and I am sweating through my clothes without doing anything but sitting here so I guess that’s confirmation I’m sick…not much to do today…I should run a couple of errands but I am so fatigued that I don’t think I will….may do a few things around here but don’t have the energy right now…more later…
They are ALL stupid…
Well…if you have been listening to any or all of the repub candidates spout over the past couple of months, there is only one conclusion that you can draw…that they are all stupid. The latest from one of the front runners, Ben Carson, show his ignorance of the law and the constitution in all it’s glory…first, last week, this idiot comes out and says that he could never support a Muslim for president saying that Islam allows them to lie to get elected…well, Ben, if that is a disqualifier, then all of the repubs now running are disqualified. But, the latest one that this idiot came out with today was that just being Muslim should be probable cause for their houses to be searched and their phones tapped. This idiot appears to not know that there is a fourth amendment to the Constitution that prevents these things and was one of the main reasons that the Revolutionary war was fought….but, when scary Muslims are involved, they don’t deserve the same rights as the rest of us American citizens….I knew about this stuff in the 6th grade…this surely should disqualify this idiot from anything but retirement…and I just wish he’d go there…I know the repubs are proud of their ignorance on many subjects but a campaign whose entire reason for being is to promote ignorance and hate is just too much…geez…
September 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…didn’t win the powerball so that wasn’t…slept okay last night but I now know I have a bug of some sort since I have been coughing since yesterday and I feel like I can’t breathe too well…we’ll see how bad it is in a minute when I get on the bike…I do need to finish the second cup of coffee first…I did get some errands run yesterday, too, but didn’t get anything else done so today will be a work day…I do need to clean and do some laundry today and the Lions don’t play til later so I guess it will be napcar this aft…I am a little tired today and I am sure it is the bug….the back is starting to hurt again and that is disappointing…I did get two days without pain so that is something….not much to do today….just the bike ride and cleaning I guess…more later…
Jeb truly is the stupid one..
Well..just wanted to do a short one on another idiotic thing that JEB! said in a speech a few days back…the gist of it was the same thing that ole MItt said during his campaign…that the only reason that minorities vote for dems is that they will get “free stuff” from them and won’t have to work for anything…and ole JEB! went on to lecture that they should vote for repubs since they will put policies into place that will let minorities “earn” their way to a better life…right there I started laughing so hard my eyes were watering..this lecture coming from someone who has never “earned” anything in his life that wasn’t given to him by the Bush family connections….has never had to worry where the next meal is coming from or where to get the money to pay for the doctor…and this idiot thinks he can lecture anyone on earning anything? Again…I have had enough of these rich pricks telling working people what their failings are and why they aren’t rich like them…JEB!, you would be an Arby’s manager if it wasn’t for your family…just STFU…geez…
September 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool…with putting an 8 in on the break so that was cool….and my back still feels okay and that is a huge plus…I have started to feel a little pain again but it is still so much better that I don’t know what to do…enjoy it I guess…I did make a little cash yesterday and am going to make a little today, too so there will be groceries for another week….it has been a while….it was cool to go hard on the bike and let the crazy old guy out again yesterday…and that will be the plan today, too, I do need to get out on the bike right now since Man U is playing at 10 and I want to see that one…along with Michigan at noon and races later so it will be a busy day…not much to do today….I do need to clean a little later along with the errands but it should still be a good day…need more coffee, though….and I need to get going…more later…
September 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….slept okay last night but had some unsettling dreams that I am kind of glad I don’t remember…there was one weird thing that happened with my back…it has been hurting for quite a while now and I wasn’t sure what to do about it…I guess I just had to lie down on the couch…I did that yesterday and felt 4 or 5 large pops with lots of grinding….but, this morning, the pain is almost gone and I can walk without wincing….just one of those strange things that happen I guess, but I am happy it did….but it didn’t fix the rest of the pains and my elbow is killing me…oh, well…I did get the new sprocket on the bike but installed it wrong so I have to take it back off this morning before the ride…another 5 mins…not sure if I can take it…not much to do today…pool, I think, but that is about it….won’t get to any cleaning until tomorrow…more later…
Okay..trail weirdness…
Well…haven’t done one of these in a while since there really hasn’t been much weirdness going on but the sights today triggered me into remembering what I wanted to write about…a few weeks back, the country workers did some trail maintenance that involved putting sealer on the trails to try to prolong their lives…I think it was actually a contractor that did it…but, wouldn’t you think that they should clean the trail first before applying the sealer? Well….they didn’t and now it is funny to see what they sealed into the trail…huge blobs of cut grass, leaves, mice carcasses, caterpillars, and lot of other stuff…and the sealer reflects into my polarized sunglasses and makes a weird, shiny pattern that is a little annoying….oh, well…
The next bit of weirdness will only be funny to the “Doctor Who” fans out there…today, while heading up the first hill, I saw a guy running with these huge headphones on that made him look like one of the Cybermen…I wonder how much those things weighed? Weird…
The crazy man returns….
Well…I was going to title this one another ‘trail weirdness” and that is part of it but I think the one I chose is more descriptive…as you know, I have been waiting for the new front sprocket for the bike to come, with it scheduled to be here Sat…but, it came today and it did only take 5 minutes to replace even with texting with T throughout the process. And, you know me, I had to take it out for a test ride as soon as I finished it…it was just so cool to be able to be the “crazy man” and go as hard as I want in whatever gear I want with no skipping of the chain at all…over the past couple of months, I’ve had to throttle back to keep the chain on it and I didn’t realize how much fun that was taking out of the rides…I was going to do a full run but used my legs up this morning so I kept this test run short…tomorrow will be crazy day….again…nope I’m behind for the month so I think I’ll really do a trail weirdness in a minute…
September 24th
Well…not sure why I’m running late today other than the papers were thicker than normal today…slept okay last night and part of it was I could breathe after taking an antihistamine before bed…no more Miata dreams and that is a good thing…don’t want them coming true….I am sore again this morning but just the normal ones so I guess I can live with it…I think part of it is the changes to my riding style I’ve had to make with the worn out sprocket and all of the skipping the chain does…but, that will be fixed Sat, I hope, when the new sprocket gets here…got all of the bolts loose yesterday so the change will only take about 5 minutes….other than that, I didn’t get much done yesterday…it was good to have the Wings back even if it was just a pre-season game last night…it is cool to see all the young guys play…and there is another one tonight…I did smoke some more salmon yesterday and made some salmon spread that came out great…too good, actually….I wanted to eat all of it but had to show some restraint…not much to do today…I should wash the car but it’s not really dirty so I’m not sure if that will get done…I did repair the little tear I had in the top and I hope it lasts more than one top down session…more later…
Carly Fiorina lies just like the rest of them…
Well…the lies just keep on coming from the right these days about Planned Parenthood but this last bunch by Carly Fiorina is just too much…during the debate last week…ole Carly went on and on about the video she said she saw that showed a live baby being dissected for organs at Planned Parenthood…even though this video DOES NOT exist and never did…but the media gave up their responsibility of challenging her on these lies and she continues to spout them…but now, it has gotten even worse with her campaign faking a video that supposedly supports what she said in the debate….and, again the media has given here a pass on this lie when it would be pretty easy to just look for the time stamp on the video which would expose this lie…but none of them will do a damn thing….but, that doesn’t make this any less of a lie and this should disqualify the idiot Carly from ever holding any office…this, along with the lies about her “success” at HP should have gotten her laughed right off the stage…but here we have this idiot rising in the polls as she lies, lies, and lies….I guess that’s what the repub base likes…liars and the lies they tell….she will NEVER be elected in the general…just go home, Carly…only the most rabid of your base wants to hear a word you have to say…geez…
