Well…haven’t done a political one in a while since the crap that is going on over on the repub side has just gotten to be too much for me to follow…I mean, a presidential candidate telling his followers to beat up people they don’t agree with? With that, there is no room for any policy discussion on that side but we’ve heard it all…tax cuts for the rich…blah, blah…so I guess we don’t really have to hear any more….but, there was one bit of good news that came out of a national poll on the general election that was released the other day…and that is that either Bernie or Hillary would beat Drumpf by about 10 points with Bernie doing a little better….and those numbers are sure to go up as people hear more from the idiot….how far has the repub party fallen since I was young….when we had people like Vandenberg, and Ford and Bill Milliken….and now we have Drumpf, Cruz, and Rubio….have never seen a worse set of no talent hacks in my life….geez..
March 14th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…but it has been a long time since I lost so that was okay…slept okay last night but I still feel a little off today so I think I’ll take it easy for a while and have some more coffee….didn’t get on the bike for a second day but today looks like I may be able to get on it in a while….just feel worn out today and have no energy even with working on the second cup of coffee….but I have no pain anywhere for the first time in a while and that is a good thing….one thing I need to do is get motivated to get caught up here by doing a couple that are lucid and mean something but that seems like a lot of work right now…not much to do today…need to get back on track with exercise and then get some cleaning done but that is about it…I think moving to the couch will be all I can do in the near future…more later….
March 13th
Well…it was a pretty crappy day yesterday and that’s how I felt all day….my intestines felt like they were on fire and I had no energy and that led to getting nothing at all done…barely got off the couch all day…no bike ride, no nothing except watching sports….I did try to get more calories in and I think I failed at that….it’s hard to get over 1500 a day for me and that may be part of why I felt so crappy…still don’t feel great but I do feel better than yesterday so that is something…I know that it is a bug and that is comforting since I can’t afford a trip to the doctor….at least my back doesn’t hurt so that is something, too….it is a pain getting all the clocks reset for springing forward but I did get the car done so I feel good about that….not much to do today…maybe pool but that will be about it for me…no cleaning or anything else since I don’t have the energy for it…more later…
March 12th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….made some cash so I can pay the rent next month so that takes a load off…slept like crap last night and it’s my fault…haven’t been eating enough and that has started to affect my digestive tract with lots of pain last night that continues to this morning….so today I’ll have to try to get over 2,000 calories to try to fix that….I think it’s the reason I’ve felt kind of sluggish that past few days and I do need to do something about it…I wonder if part of it is the allergies, too….just feel like crap today and need to go back to the couch…..not much to do today….I will clean some if I feel better and get a bike ride in…but, it has to warm up before I do that…still in the thirties and I won’t put the thermasuit on again this spring…more later….
No pool today….
Well…it’s been kind of a boring day with no pool…but I made some cash so that was cool…but, I don’t really have anything to talk about in politics but I will do one tomorrow on the violence at the Drumpf rallies but I just can’t work up any outrage right now…it was nice getting a couple of ride in with the top down today….oh, and somehow, other peoples posts started showing up on my page here so I need to figure that out…so you may see some weird stuff that is not like me…I will be monitoring it to make sure it doesn’t happen again….
March 11th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…went out to have a couple with G and that devolved into another shouting match so I won’t be doing that again…ever….slept okay but lost an earplug and that woke me up during the night so I am a little grumpy today….and the Wings lost again which puts them out of the playoffs for the first time in 24 years and that is a little depressing…..oh, well….I did get the car cleaned and waxed yesterday and it looks pretty good….had to put some injector cleaner in it since I haven’t for six months or so and it was idling a little rough…hope it gets warm enough to put the top down today….it’s nice and sunny now but too cold….won’t even be able to get on the bike today since I have an errand to run this morning….not much to do today…pool, maybe, but that is about it…going to just veg it out and watch sports…more later…
The rule of law only applies to Dems in Kansas…
Well….I was going to write about the demise of ole Marco today but there have been new happenings in Kansas that I just needed to comment on…if it wasn’t bad enough that repub control of the state has left it’s finances in tatters with the huge tax cuts to the rich and business…it is so bad there that the supreme court of Kansas told the repub controlled legislature that the cuts they made to the schools there are unconstitutional…but did they respond by abiding by the court ruling and fixed their failing schools? Of course not, they are repubs after all and they just KNOW that the law doesn’t apply to them….so, they just passed a new law there that says that if any judge in any court disagrees with the legislature…even if the law they pass is blatantly unconstitutional…that judge can be put in jail…yep, you heard that right…the party that screams constitution this and constitution that has just shown that all of that bleating is just the bullshit we all know it is….and they only care about naked power and ideology and that is what we would see if these folks ever take over the presidency…..I just don’t know what to say about the repubs these days other than they are the biggest danger that this nation has ever seen…and they need to go back to the rocks they crawled out from…geez…
Okay…have a correction…the judges can be impeached not put in jail…my mistake…
March 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…but not much….did get a nice ride in all the way to the park so that was cool….slept okay last night and was good so I feel pretty energized today…when was the last time you heard me say that? I did tweak my back changing the tires on the car but it’s still not too bad so I guess I won’t bitch too much….I am loving this weather and it so much better on the bike in a t-shirt but today looks like sweatshirt weather but that is okay since I can still go out in shorts…almost switched into shorts for the year yesterday but that may be premature….will probably do that tomorrow but my all year rule will probably be broken this year….not much to do today…going to go out and wash the car again so I can wax it and do the glass today and then Michigan plays in the Big 10 tournament at noon so that will take up some time….more later….
Bike tales…
Well….as you know, I have been working on restoring the bike to a more usable condition…about a year ago, the fiberglass frame repair that I did a few years back started to fail and that made the seat loose that annoyed me but I didn’t think much about it until it got really bad over the winter…so, I used the rest of the repair kit last week to fix it and I am so surprised by how much of a difference it made….it seems like I put about 25% less work into going faster with the seat now being stable again….and it now changes direction again with just a little shift of my hips and that makes riding it fun again…so much fun that I am in pain right now from bombing around and doing the full 15 miles today…..and I found and fixed the squeaks, too, so it is silent running again…I think it irritates the people on the trail since I sneak up on them in pure stealth mode…kind of fun to see them jump when I come by…..already over 150 miles so far this spring….heading for 3,000….
Michigan feels the “Bern”
Well…it was an interesting day yesterday in Michigan politics where Bernie beat Hillary by 4 points to win the Michigan primary. That was really a surprise given that the last poll in the race had Hillary ahead by almost 20 points and the pundits had written him off…weeks ago…but, one of the things that they didn’t count on was the record turnout on both the repub and dem side of the aisle….one of the biggest surprises was the makeup of the win for Bernie with many more people of color breaking for him that anyone predicted…that, along with an overwhelming win in the youngster vote put him over the top….not sure what that is going to mean with Hillary so far out ahead in the delegate count, and with her winning Mississippi….Bernie is still a long shot but he is pulling her back toward the traditional dem platform instead of the repub lite that she has been selling…better for the country for sure….go Bernie….
