Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but it was a busy one with Tom’s appt, then errands, and then the bike ride…didn’t get everything done until almost 3:30 and I started at 8:30…was good last night so I feel okay today but I have another busy one with voting, washing the car, getting the bike ride in, and then out with G for a couple later….and in between that I have to make lunch….didn’t sleep for crap last night with being up and down since 2:30 so that could be a little trying later in the day…had the Aquinas dream again last night where I just stop going to class and didn’t get my degrees…not sure what that is about but I have that once in a while….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but the route was shortened buy the remaining snow that I hope has melted since yesterday….not much to do today…well…that’s not true…going to get on it right now and go vote and then out to wash the car…will probably do that a few times this week to get the salt off the car…more later….
Adults on the stage…
Well…if you have watched any of the debates lately, there can be no confusion about who the adults on the stage are…the repub debate was rife with dick jokes, personal insults, and braggadocio…while Bernie and Hillary had a spirited policy debate that showed that either one of them would be so vastly preferable to any repub that is still in the race. But the delusion on the right continues, that anyone from their “deep bench” is better than the dems…and have any chance to be elected in the fall…all we have to do is turn out and we get the presidency and the senate back….I just don’t want to hear any more Bernie supporters saying they will not vote if he is not nominated…don’t be idiots folks…and hand the election to the repubs just because you’re pissed…I’m a Bernie supporter, too…but any dem is better than the best of the repubs…geez…
March 7th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….but getting started that early in the day takes a lot out of me so I am a little worn out today….didn’t get anything done other than pool and today looks much the same…I do want to get out on the bike but it looks like the trails aren’t clear yet…will probably have to wait until tomorrow since it is going to be in the 50′s today and they should melt off enough…I may try to go out this aft, though, just to test out the repairs that I did to the bike last week….and, with being behind here, I’ll have to do two more of these today…and there should be topics after I read about the debates last night….not much to do today…I do have to take Tom to his pain clinic appointment this morning but then I am going to just take it easy the rest of the day…it should be warm enough to put the top down on the way back home later….more later…
March 6th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…I did get out to have a couple with G but that started the night off too early and I am feeling it today….just kind of sluggish and just want to go back to the couch…..even went to bed early and slept okay last night…must have been really early since I got a text from T at 10:17 that I didn’t even see or respond to…oh, well…my back is still holding up with no pain and that is a really good thing…but it is weird to be able to walk without a limp….but I’ll take it….not much to to today….going to just lick the wounds a little and watch some soccer until I can get moving and then some kitchen cleaning…don’t have to cook today since I have lots of leftovers so it is going to be really low key…more later….
A little mind cleansing…
Well…I just noticed that I have had a pretty good head of outrage going lately and it has been reflected in the posts I have been doing…but, not today….going to do a little mind cleansing today and just write about nice things for a change….I did get the bike put back together and it appears to be solid again…and, it should be with 5 more layers of fiberglass holding the broken part on…can’t wait to get out on it but the darn weather is just not cooperating….maybe Tuesday when it’s supposed to be 64….it’s been kind of calm around here with some cash in my pocket but I am a little bored with Tom’s back still bad and everyone else out of town….I could just go out by myself but I have been so good at not spending money that it has gotten to be a habit….and there really are plenty of things I could do around here but I just don’t care to do them right now…I think I’ll watch the movie “Spotlight” tonight since there is nothing on tv that I want to see…and it’s the Oscar winner so I need to see it to see if they screwed up the choice again….hmmm….not much else to talk about right now…just didn’t want to do another screed today…but, tomorrow is another story…I am going to have time on my hands since I will not watch NASCAR anymore after their endorsement of Trump….
March 5th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept pretty well last night and I feel okay this morning even after not being good last night…I’m on about the 6th day of my back not hurting and it is weird to walk without any pain…even my neck is better…but my hands are a little worse for wear after fixing the bike yesterday…had to re-fiberglass the seat post tube and the acid in the hardener took a bunch of skin off my hands since the resin is so sticky that you can’t use gloves to apply it…they are just a little dry today so I guess they survived the abuse….and the bike is fixed for the next time the trails are clear…probably won’t be able to get out until Tuesday since there is still quite a bit of snow on the trails….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but the bike was enough….didn’t even have to buy a new glass kit….just needed hardener and Menard’s carries it for 2 bucks so that was cool to save 15 bucks….not much to do today….going to clean a little but that is about it….and watch some soccer…more later….
Late again today….
Well…have been getting a few things done today so I am late coming back here for another one…did anyone watch the repub debate last night? I hope not since the sight of it would need so much brain bleach that it would probably kill you….I have never seen a group of “adults” carry on with the insults and middle school taunts that made them look as presidential as Pee Wee Herman….but nowhere near as funny….and it does look like ole Drumpf is going to be the winner no matter what he says, no matter how many lies he spouts, and no matter how much he threatens to commit war crimes…my question is if he was elected, and he ordered the military to commit war crimes, how many generals would tell him to go to hell….it is illegal, after all, to order someone to commit a war crime and that is just another reason whey Bush and Cheney should be in jail….but, I blame Obama for that…for his willingness to put the whole mess behind him so the repubs would work with him…how did that work out Obama? I am at a loss to comment more….geez…
March 4th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get some cleaning done so that was cool….slept better than normal last night and I don’t know why so I’m not going to think about it…I did get the new readers yesterday and now I can see the papers and this screen better and that is kind of weird….no back pain today and the neck is better, too, so I guess I don’t have anything to bitch about today…will that make this too boring? Not sure about that…..it was pretty cool going out to get the papers today with the heavy fog out there…the sun looked just so cool through it but I am not sure how fog happens when it is 10 degrees out there….I am really, really tired of it being cold and I need it to warm up so I can get back into shorts…not sure if I will stay in them but normally I do once I change…not much to do today….I do have an errand to run this morning and I am going to make some cash so that will be cool…and I am going to cook a pork loin that I have been dry aging in the fridge since yesterday…just needed to try something different…more later….
The brilliance of Marco Rubio….
Well…was just reading a few articles on the intertubes and came upon this comment from ole Marco that had me laughing out loud at his brilliance…(snark)….after the super Tuesday primaries and caucases, he was asked why he didn’t do better than he did…and ole Marco answered with this brilliance…”if there weren’t so many people running, I would have won most of the states”….let that one sink in for a minute…he uses the excuse that there are just too darn many people running so people can’t see that he is the most qualified and would make the bestest president of all…this is what you get when you have a repub empty suit running…who has never accomplished anything in his life other than making friends with billionaires and trying to memorize a bunch of talking points…I kind of wish he would get the nomination so that either Hillary or Bernie would just destroy him in the debates…but, that is not going to happen…and that doesn’t make me sad at all….
March 3rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a nice lunch with T and made some cash so that is cool….slept pretty crappy again and was up and down all night but that’s normal these days….my neck still hurts today and I guess I’ll break down and take something for it…I’m sure it’s from sleeping wrong but I’m not sleeping so I’m not sure how that works….I did do the grocery run today and that is the reason I’m running late….I did buy some new readers today and moved up to 1.75 magnification from the 1.50 that I have used for the past 5 years….can really see better reading the paper and doing this and they were pretty cheap…got two pair for 6 bucks at Meijer’s this morning so I can throw them away when I scratch them and not feel too bad…the last two pair cost me almost 30 bucks so I can live with a little less quality…one funny thing, the tags on them had electronic chips in them and they set of the door alarms when I was going out…kind of funny….not much to do today…I am going to clean some and make some pork roast for lunch but that is about it…more later….
