Well…I really don’t know how it keeps happening, but today was another day on the run that lasted til a little after 3 this afternoon…started with a ride at 7am that lasted an hour…then out for the grocery runs to get the carrots I needed for the ham soup…then back on the bike, then got the laundry started and got the ham bones in the instant pot for an hour that really takes almost two with it having to come up to pressure and then release it…then I cut the veggies for the soup and put those under pressure for 10 minutes…then I finished the soup and it came out really good as it always does using the recipe I’ve developed over the years….man, it’s pouring out here and the high winds are slamming it into the side of the house…maybe tomorrow will be easier? I sure won’t have to cook with two kinds of soup in the fridge that will keep me fed the rest of the week…and I’ve cleared some of the clutter out of the freezer so it was a good day…now I need to do the weight work…

Even Florida hates repubs policies…
Well…as the repubs in red states try to outdo each other in how many rights they can take away from women, women and their allies are fighting back even in Florida where they have just gotten a citizen led constitutional amendment on the ballot to protect reproductive freedom…even as the repub controlled legislature is working feverishly to pass an outright ban on abortion…and the polling on the issue makes it appear like it will pass easily since more than 70% of those polled want it to pass…the repubs were so stupid when they packed the supreme court with lying right wing assholes who overturned Roe when they testified they wouldn’t…and I am still amazed that they got away with the clear lies when it is against the law and all of the right wingers on the court should be charged with perjury…so what is the repubs response? In almost all the red states they are making it harder or impossible to put these initiatives on the ballot so then the people will have no recourse against the unpopular ideas of the repubs…cheating as usual…geez…
April 2nd
Well…damn, I wonder how I went from sleeping through the night last week to not sleeping at all last night? Up too many times to count and feel so darn worn out that it’s going to be almost too much effort to do the grocery run this morning…but I want to make ham soup today and don’t have any carrots to put in it…need to get the first ride in before that and I’m hoping to get an outdoor ride in to keep up the 30 miles a day I need to make the goal…but the little weather widget just said “high winds today” so it may be a chore to go outside today…got a lot done yesterday and I’m easing up to taking a day off at some point soon just to get some rest…my allergies are really bad this morning with my nose running and head plugged up…when it warms up, I need to hit Menards for some deck wash to scrub the front steps and get the algae off of them…did that the first summer I was here but it grew back and now looks an ugly green…but that will wait until I get the hoses out and can spray it after I scrub…not much to do today…well, that’s not true…going to be running again today and won’t be done til late afternoon but that will set me up to have an easy day tomorrow….more later…
Busy, busy day…
Well…man, it was a busy day today and it all got started with the first bike ride at 7am…then out to run some errands into town to pay my water bill and then over to the library for 3 more books…over to Meijers to drop off a prescription, and then a quick run over to DD to get some more turkey and I think I hit the best deal I’ve gotten there…I mean 1.25 a pound for thin sliced smoked turkey breast? That is a freezer filler and I need to find room in there for it…oh, and 1.99 for a pound and a half of bacon? Then back on the bike for the second indoor ride, lunch, and then on the outdoor bike for another 15 miles…got back from that about 1:30 and then just fooled around and started to read the new books that I am going to go back to right now…
I predicted it…
Well…with the stock in the idiot trump’s latest scam in freefall…I just want to say “told you so” but I have no feeling at all for the trumper idiots who gave him millions of dollars for stock in a company that had 1.4 million dollars in revenue last year and lost 52 million in that same time frame…I sure idiot boy was counting on his followers to be ignorant about reading the prospectus from the IPO and not sophisticated enough to understand that the fundamentals for the stock makes it not much more than a penny stock and that’s why not one institutional investor would touch it…maga folks, you have been lied to and scammed again…is this the one that will make you see idiot boy for what he is? Nope…these people are not too bright…geez…
April 1st
Well…damn, I’m worn out today…and I sure don’t want to get on the bike but I will in 20 minutes…need to run an errand this morning to get a refill on a prescription and head over to DD for some roasted turkey for 2.50 a pound and I need to pay the water bill and pick up 3 more books to read…and I need to get an outdoor ride in before it starts to rain this aft…so I have a busy day ahead and I don’t want to have them anymore…didn’t get much done yesterday but it will be a day of accomplishments if I do it right…12 minutes before I have to get on the bike…I did get the potato soup made yesterday and made more than normal so it should last the entire week…not sure what the second meal is going to be for the week but I do need to start emptying the freezer some…I do need to make some ham soup in the instant pot to use up the celery before it goes bad so that will happen in the next couple of days…and that will free up some room in the freezer by taking the ham bones out…but that will be filled by the containers of soup…it seems it’s a never ending cycle…more later…
