Well…have been sitting here trying to figure out why I’ve felt so crappy all day today and about 10 minutes ago, I figured it out when my throat started to get sore…so, it’s not the cocktails…it’s a bug of some sort…I wonder if I got this one from T when we had lunch last week…if it is the same one, I can now understand why she was so exhausted….and I hope it doesn’t get too much worse…have had terrible headaches all day, too so I think I’ll take something for it here in a little while…and I think I’ll blame the bug for not doing a political one today…and the idiot trump is off on vacation, again, so there’s nothing to talk about there….
June 17th
Well…running late today and I just can’t get started….got up early so that’s not it….oh, well…I did win at pool yesterday but Tom put an 8 in on the break and that is much cooler….had to take some allergy meds last night with the bad headache I had and it is starting again this morning so there may be more today…have three left so that should get me through the weekend…..didn’t get anything else done yesterday so I should do some cleaning today…just watched a show comparing the 4 generations of the Miata and the first gen model, like mine, won the comparison…that’s pretty cool….the 24 hours of LeMans is on in a few minutes and that will burn a lot of my data for the month but I do need to watch it…..okay…need more coffee so I’ll end here….more later….
June 16th
Well…running a little late today…and feel pretty crappy after having a cocktail night…yeah, I know….was supposed to wait until tonight but I’m just so bored that I needed to….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but I’m thinking about skipping today…I need a recovery day for my legs since they were flat yesterday….slept okay last night but woke up sore everywhere and the sunburn is itching so I am a little miserable today….didn’t get the kitchen cleaned yesterday and won’t today with pool this aft…and I am going to go look for a new pair of shoes since Kohl’s has them 50% off….the ones I’m using now are starting to look worn….okay…need to have coffee and decide whether to get on the bike or not…more later….
Pence lawyers up….
Well…I just read (with some glee, I must add) that the supposed “straight shooter” Mike Pence has just hired outside counsel to defend him in both the Russia collusion case and his part in the obstruction of justice that is engulfing the idiot trump and his cronies. Now, let’s think back to the campaign and all of the cheers of “lock her up” that came from Pence and the rest of the trump campaign saying that a Clinton administration would be the most corrupt in history…just like they always slurred Obama and his administration with. Look at the facts….not one of Obama’s people lawyered up in the first 5 months of his presidency…no one in his campaign was under investigation in the first 5 months of his presidency…and neither was Obama. So, who is the most corrupt? The idiot trump and his cronies win this one….and Pence now knows his tenure as VP is in danger…let’s get the perp walks started…impeach….
The noose tightens….
Well….as the wagons circle on the right to try to protect the cheeto donnie from himself…it was revealed yesterday that Robert Mueller is now investigating the idiot trump for obstruction of justice along with all of the Russian collusion that his campaign did. Now, let’s say that again…after only 145 days in office the idiot trump has broken so many laws that there are now at least 5 investigations going on into his lawlessness…..and he has admitted to obstruction on tape…there are many other shoes that are going to drop, too, since Mueller is going to talk to the head of the NSA and other intelligence agencies to see how many of them trump tried to use to kill the Russia investigation….the noose tightens and it I’ll bet that by the end of summer there will be a perp walk…impeach…
June 15th
Well….running on time today and that’s even with doing the grocery run today….and I feel okay today if a little sore…did the entire 15 miles at full sprint yesterday and I’m not sure how that happened…must have been the three cups of coffee and the Black Sabbath that was playing in the ears….and eating enough the day before…not sure if I ate enough yesterday to make today a good ride but we’ll see….I did get to lay out and try to even out the biker tan yesterday and something pretty funny happened…I had my earbuds in and the cord left a white mark on my chest that looks like one of those Y-shaped autopsy scars you see on tv all the time…still laughing about that one….not much to do today….I am going to do the kitchen floor and cook some today…got some chicken thighs for 88 cents a pound this morning but I think I’ll do leftovers instead…more later….
Calder Cup champions….
Well… almost forgot to do this one today….our Grand Rapids Griffins won the Calder Cup as American Hockey League champions here in GR last night…didn’t get to a game this year with being broke but it was cool to see the celebration on tv after they won….and to see the first championship won by a GR hockey team since around 1950….so, congrats guys…hope to see some of you in Detroit next fall….
June 14th
Well…running early today and I think it’s because I’m bored and couldn’t take just sitting here doing nothing…it was an okay day yesterday…didn’t get a lot done but I did get the bike fixed and got a nice, long ride in…tried to eat more yesterday and I may have been successful…have been exhausted the past few days and I hope that is past…..but it is still a struggle to get over 1500 calories for the day….not sure if I’m going to get out on the bike for a while since it looks like there are some small storms that are coming through in a few minutes and it is going to rain a lot in the next few days so there may be a day off the bike in there…so I’ll have to fill that time with cleaning…and I need to…not much to do today….and that’s true…more later….
An observation about old tv….
Well….after getting rid of the dish and having to rely on what channels that I can get on the antenna for most of the day, I noticed a weird thing….even though there are many well rated old tv shows on, the only ones I watch are the ones that I watched when they were not in re-runs….and I find that kind of funny…I mean “Good Times” was well rated and quite popular when I was young but I never watched it then and I have no desire to watch it now….and that pattern goes to many shows that have been extremely popular but I just never got into them…”Grey’s Anatomy” comes to mind or any of the “NCIS” series that have been on…have never watched any of those either and some of them were the most popular in their time…not sure what it all means but just an observation….
Don’t get too excited abut Sessions….
Well…counting down to 2:30 this aft and the testimony of Jeff Sessions about his role in the Russia scandal and the breathlessness of some on the left is misguided in my mind…now, I’ll be the first to say that I was a little off about the Comey testimony..with it being much more explosive than I expected but he had an axe to grind that Sessions doesn’t…the only thing that Sessions is trying to do is cover his own ass and try to stay out of jail for his part in the obstruction so I really don’t expect him to say much even though the dem senators have some useful questions to ask…including why he lied to the senate during his confirmation hearings and didn’t disclose the third meeting he had with the Russian ambassador….I really want to know what they talked about…or get it confirmed that he was talking about lifting the sanctions that Obama put on them for interfering in the election….one other question that I want asked is why isn’t the idiot trump concerned with continued interference in our democracy by the Russians? He never talks about it or does anything about it…that kind of leaves the impression that he thinks it’s okay that the Russians hacked 39 state election systems last year and used the information to elect trump. I will be watching until ole Jeff makes me sick with his lies…might just wait for analysis later in the aft….impeach…
