Well….I was going to do one to declare that the bike is fixed but I just didn’t get around to it…but, the bike is fixed…2 days now with no loose pedal so maybe I have it this time….didn’t get a whole lot else done yesterday bu I’ll have to do more today….feel pretty crappy this morning and had some weird dreams last night…I slept on my left shoulder that hurts like crazy….it may be a good day to just hang out and rest since the temp is only 44 and I need it to be 47+ to go out without gloves…don’t have enough leftover coffee this morning so I may need to make more…don’t think a cup and a half is enough to get me moving….okay…need to find out who won the F1 race last night so I’m headed back to the couch….will be back for another one later…maybe…
This is what it takes?
Well…with the latest revelations that ole Trump has admitted to felony sexual assault, repubs are disavowing him in droves and the RNC has even stopped working for him. My question is: This is what it takes? Not the overt racism, Islamaphobia, or hate that has been endorsed by these same repubs…not the shady business deals or bribes, or misogyny that has been okay with them until now…now they have had enough even though they knew what kind of person he was from the start? That just shows you the rot in the modern repub mind, and the fact that most repubs still support Trump says to me that they are the same inside…little balls of hate and racism that revel in the fact that Trump gave them permission to express their hatred and racism openly, and are proud that’s who they are….I really do hope that Trump doesn’t drop out…he is the perfect representative of the modern repub party and showed to the world who they are…and it’s not pretty…geez…
October 8th
Well…running a little late today and part of it is that I just can’t get going this morning…went out to have a couple with K last night and that got my night started way too early…oh, and I lost at pool…and we can throw in pool day so it was a long one yesterday….my back was okay most of the day yesterday but it hurts again today and I’m not sure why….I’m hoping I have the bike fixed but won’t know for sure until I get out today…but, it’s only 45 right now so I need to let the temp come up some so I don’t have to wear gloves….don’t have a heck of a lot to do today but watch sports so that is what I’m going to do….more later….oh, and clean some….maybe…
Another one for the B-3 count…
Well…just sitting here watching a documentary on Jethro Tull and what do I see? A Hammond B-3 on stage…so, add another one to the B-3 count….
Laughter in my head…
Well….out on the bike this morning, I came up on a place where the trail crosses a road and a Honda Fit, the smallest car that Honda sells int he US, was crossing in front of me….the first thing that popped into my head was: “who the heck would buy a car that small?” The laughter just exploded into my head from that…but you have to understand the context of that….If you’ve been here before, you know that I drive an A version 1994 Miata, one of the smallest cars ever sold in the US…it doesn’t even have a back seat…at least the Fit has four doors AND a back seat…okay, it was funny to me.
Oh, some trail stuff, too…I may have fixed the pedal arm on the bike…at least I got through today without it coming loose….yesterday, I took it apart and cleaned the whole thing up..then I slathered the shaft with blue Loctite, put the arm back on, and then whacked it to make sure it seated where it should…the thing went on an extra quarter inch and was stable even without the bolt…but, I red Loctited the bolt anyway and tightened it as tight as I could…so far, so good….
October 7th
Well…still hurt everywhere and I can’t figure it out….I did figure out why my toes on my right foot hurt and it’s the damn weight machine again…whacked my foot on it the other day…something I’ve done more than once….but I can’t remember how I hurt my back…it’s not as bad today so I think it’s healing….had a pretty busy day yesterday with work and the grocery run and the bike ride keeping me busy until late in the aft and that is a good thing…today will not be busy at all with just the bike ride and pool, but I am looking forward to grilling some pork chops for lunch….back to not eating enough and I am feeling it today…or it’s the allergies again since they have been quite bad lately….I do need to remember to take something for it…I noticed that the key I have been using for the car for the past 4 years has a crack in it so I have to use the dealer cut one I paid 15 bucks for….I thought that the ignition lock was wearing out but the new key works just fine…probably should get a couple of new ones cut to have some spares….more later…
We’re all gonna die…or it’s a hoax…
Well…the more I see of life, the crazier it gets…with the hurricane bearing down on Florida, I just saw a short clip from Fox news with this idiot pointing to the map of it’s path into Florida and said “you’re all gonna die…and your children, too”…not sure if he was making a joke but it was still in really bad taste…but I guess it fits fox news pretty well….on the flip side of that, many of the right wing websites are parroting the idea that the hurricane is a hoax and conservatives shouldn’t believe the NWS since it is run by Obama and you can’t trust him…Jade Helm…something, something…..so, I will say to the idiot conservatives that read these sites…sure, stay there, there’s no hurricane coming…damn, you caught us at another liberal conspiracy…just walk right out to the beach to see for yourself….and don’t leave for at least a few hours since the liberals control the weather and you might catch them in their conspiracy…..and then you can go on Breitbart and expose them….geez….
This is too funny…
Well…it you needed any more confirmation that ole Trump has no relation whatsoever with the truth, you just need to look at a story on Raw Story today that says that his bankruptcy lawyers would only meet with him in pairs since they needed corroborating testimony with Trump lying to them and everybody else…all the time. Let that sink in a bit…even Trump’s lawyers knew that he was a pathological liar who would lie all the time so they had to cover their asses by having two lawyers in the room. I guess that’s really all you need to know about Trump…and it confirms the analysis done after the first debate that showed that Trump lied over 80% of the time during the debate…I wonder why anyone would ever do business with someone like Trump who can never be trusted…how could he be trusted to be president? The simple answer is he can’t….geez…
Trail stuff…and more…
Well…I wanted to throw the damn bike in the retention pond today with the pedal arm coming loose every 100 feet or so…not quite that bad but it came loose the whole ride and irritated the hell out of me….so, I worked on it again this aft and I hope it’s better…used a huge pipe to whack the damn thing to get it to seat and it appears to have helped…okay, enough of that…the grasshoppers are finally back in the clouds that they were supposed to be earlier in the summer…have never seen them come so late and I’m not sure why…it could be that it almost 80 and it’s going into the second week of October…I think the snakes are confused, too, since I counted almost 30 small ones on the trail yesterday and they should be bigger and heading for hibernation…should probably do some research on that in case this is normal and I’m just missing it….hmmm…..
October 6th
Well…yesterday…hmmm…got a few things done but felt lousy all day and I’m pretty sure it’s just an allergy flare…but I whacked my hand working on the bike and it is still bruised and hurts today….and my back has decided to hurt again…not bad but more annoying than anything…geez…do I sound like a geezer or what? Didn’t work out yesterday so I have to do that in a few minutes and then out on the bike…haven’t figured out the bolt yet but it has less urgency since I decided to buy a new one by the end of the month….just tired of working on it to keep it going….I do have lots of work to do around here again today and I hope it won’t make the back worse but it probably will…it hurts on the wrong side and that is weird…oh, well…going to stop talking about that….more later….
