Well…as you can see from the numbers, I’m behind for the month so I thought I’d just noodle around and see what happens…and the Lions are stinking up the joint so that is just driving me away from the tv…at least until Talladega starts in a few minutes…oh, and the comet flyby of Mars is happening in a few minutes so I think I’ll go out to look at the pictures here in a minute…I do like the battery backup that I got last week for 7 bucks…just have to remember to keep it charged and take it with me….I did get laundry done today so I don’t feel completely useless….on partly useless….there were thousands of wooly bears on the trail today and that was cool but a lot of work to not run them over….okay…need to go out and look at the comet pictures….more later…
October 19th
Well…running late today and the whole thing was caused by ice on the car that I had to melt off with it running for 10 minutes….it was an okay day yesterday and I got out to see K and V over at Logan’s for a few minutes so that was fun…slept crappy again but the Wings won with Hank getting the winner with 10 seconds left in OT…pretty cool….so, I guess I can live with feeling crappy again today but I won’t let that keep me off the bike today…took the day off yesterday since the temp never came up until the aft and after the run to Logan’s, I wasn’t motivated at all…and, it looks like it will be noon or so before I can get out today…but not later than that since I do want to see the Lions and the race….not much to do today…I did get my bathroom de-spidered yesterday and cleaned so it looks like the kitchen today…more later…and I do need to do three more of these today so come back a see….
October 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool…plus, I put an 8 ball in on the break so that was even cooler…didn’t win the Mega last night so I don’t have to put instructions in here for my daughter so Tom gets his cut…slept okay but no dreams again so that is a little disappointing…and, there was no Miata drive last night since it was raining…no too disappointed with that since I wanted to see the Wings game anyway…didn’t get much done yesterday but I will today…at least the bathroom…and I have a 7 pound chicken to roast today so there will be food…along with the soccer that is on now…still trying to find where Man U is on the sched….not much to do today…I am going to wait a few minutes before I go out on the bike…it is a little too cold right now and I am not in the mood to be cold…more later…
The head of the FBI just made me laugh…
Well…just read an article that quotes the head of the FBI, James Comey, and it made laugh so hard…the gist of it is that if Google and Apple go ahead with their plans to encrypt their new phones, every murderer, or other criminal is going to get away with every crime since the cops won’t be able to search your phone without a warrant….that may be a little hyperbole on my part but what this idiot is saying is if we can’t spy on the 99% of people don’t commit crimes, then the criminals will get away. My question is “what the heck did they do before smartphones?” Actual police work? Follow the 4th amendment? I think it’s great that they will have to now do their jobs like they used to and that my privacy will be ensured…tough luck FBI…geez…
October 17th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I just realized that I didn’t get back here for another one so I guess I’ll have to fix that today…slept okay but no dreams to speak of…it was fun to get out to have a couple with G but that got me on the road to feeling a little crappy today…didn’t get much done but the ham soup and it came out great so that is a plus…and the bathroom didn’t get done again and it won’t get done today, either….I think I’ll do it tomorrow…maybe….not much to do today..I do have errands to run, pool, and then a final meet up with the youngster Miata folks after for a run up to Rockford for dogs and beer…I will be looking forward to getting back here for the Wings game after all that….more later…
October 16th
Well…running late today and it is because I had to do a grocery run and get the ham soup started….needed to get the freezer cleaned out and with this gloomy day, I thought it was perfect for making soup…slept okay last night and had some weird dreams about colonizing Mars and the indigenous life there that was killing we settlers until I figured out you could kill it with bleach..but, the problem was that the organisms that survived kicked into evolution overdrive…pretty weird but a fun one….didn’t get anything done yesterday since I didn’t sleep at all Tues night and had to just recover…will try again to get the bathroom done again but who knows? Not much to do today…I do need to get the bike ride in and then put the rest of the soup together…not sure what else…but I will try something…more later….
Forgot this one from yesterday…
Well…not sure how I forgot this one but I did..so, I thought about it today before I forget completely…out on the trail yesterday, at one of my water stops, there was a yearling dear trapped in the chain link tunnel that makes up the trail in that area…and it was in such distress it was jumping and jumping into the 6 feet tall chain link like it thought it could go over it but missing the top by a couple of feet…as it slowly moved up the trail toward me…another biker and a walker tried to get it to go in the direction of an opening in the fence by making themselves look big and making some noise…I joined in and we finally got it to stop hitting the fence and run out the other end…could not believe that it was not injured after slamming into the fence at full force so many times…another weird day on the trail….,
October 15th
Well…running late today and it’s the lack of sleep that’s doing it…only got about 3 hours last night and I am sitting here in a haze trying to be at least semi lucid but I’m not sure if it’s working…had some weird dreams with Liam Neeson in them with hotels and food and other stuff but it wasn’t much fun….didn’t get a lot done yesterday, either, but I am going to try to do better today…I do need to run some errands and get the bike ride in and that can happen right away with it being 57 already…..I do need to do the bathroom today and get rid of some trash and then there is the Wings game later so that will give me something to do…more later…
Whine, whine, whine, Reince Priebus
Well…I am just laughing so hard at RNC chair, Reince Priebus…crying and whining about Democrats trying to “suppress” repub votes…and what are the dems doing to suppress these votes? Voter ID? Closing polling places? Sending “poll watchers” to intimidate minority voters? Shortening voting times? Nope, those are all repub methods that have been used in every state they control to ensure that the poor and minorities don’t vote…so what is ole Reince whining about? A dem groups plan to tell the truth about repub candidates and what effect their policies have on people…even the repubs that support them. All this to try to get people to stop voting against their own interests in electing repubs that do nothing but lie while running and then reward their masters after elected. Only in the repub world is telling the truth “voter suppression”….go ahead Reince…keep whining…geez…
Mitch McConnell is still evil…
Well….after reading the reports on the only Senate debate in Kentucky, all I can say is that Mitch McConnell is still evil….after a doddering performance where he couldn’t articulate what he has done for the people of Kentucky, ole Mitch went back to that old attack where he is either lying or doesn’t understand how Obamacare works when he said that he will repeal Obamacare but he will let Kentucky’s sign up website, Kynect, stay. Wow, that’s big of you Mitch…you’ll throw over 500,000 Kentuckians off the insurance they have for the first time in their lives but you’ll let them keep a non functioning website that is worthless without the federal portion of the law. What a great guy! And it just shows you what the repubs have become…the party of can’t…can’t fix our crumbling infrastructure…can’t keep our citizens healthy….can’t do anything but give more and more to the rich….that, to me, is the definition of evil…and ole Mitch fits the description…geez..,.
