Well….with 4 days in a row of doing 21 miles a day and weeks of weight work every day, I could feel the wear and tear piling up so I gave myself and easy day today with just doing an indoor ride and calling it good…and the wind is blowing over 25 out there so, after the crazy wind I rode in yesterday, there was no way I was doing it two days in a row after the pain it caused in my legs…and I’m even eating more to try to get my energy up some…and I really needed to remember that I needed to ride since I am working on 871 days in a row of getting at least one ride in…okay, going to read before the race comes on at 3:30…
Hiding terror alerts…
Well…with the idiot’s stupid war on Iran, the likelihood of US properties around the world has skyrocketed but you wouldn’t know that from idiot boy…3 of our intelligence agencies tried to put an alert out so people could make decisions about the risk…but no, idiot boy didn’t like that so for the first time in history the information was ordered to be withheld from the American people just because idiot boy didn’t want it known how big of a screw up this war is…and that the idiot was responsible for putting Americans across the world in harms way…and that even includes the possibility of attacks in the US…so I guess if you don’t know you’re in danger, the danger doesn’t exist in idiot boy’s head…when are the repubs going to do something about this asshole? It should have happened way before now…I would like to know if I’m going to be killed by terrorists…geez…
March 8th
Well…up at 4:14 this morning or is it 5:14? DST just screws me up for a few days and I’ll be doing the calculations of time for a while…so I’ll crash later and I hope I can take a nap…didn’t sleep well at all last night and I’m sitting here in kind of a daze that I hope will lift after I pour some coffee down…not as sore as I expected to be today and I can even move my left elbow without pain and that is weird after how much it hurt yesterday…not sure what the food is going to be today but I should make a pizza so I can use up the pepperoni and green pepper that I have in the fridge…this one is a 4 meat that I’ve never had before and it may be a bit much…but I guess we’ll see…damn, I’m already tired and can barely move…I probably should clean some today but I just need to get through the weight work and the indoor ride to get the day started…probably won’t do an outdoor ride today since I just need a rest…more later…
Way too windy…
Well…after the rain stopped this morning after dumping over an inch overnight, I decided to do an outdoor ride and I forgot to look to see how windy it was…so I get to the point with the condos, it blasts me in the face with 25 mph winds that were gusting to almost 40 that stopped me in my tracks and I almost turned around and came back here…but I didn’t and gutted the brutal conditions out…fog, mist, and wind was not fun going out…but coming back with the wind behind me was fun…I some damage to both hips into the wind and they both hurt and I am limping around here…since it was 52 when I went out I almost put shorts on but I’m glad I didn’t…I forgot that it is normally 10 degrees colder at the beach and I was freezing by the time I finished my water stop…and it’s only getting to 43 tomorrow so I may just take an easy day with just the indoor ride and for a little recovery time…now it’s race time and reading…
No planning…
Well…hey maga folks…how do you feel about electing the idiot trump now? Now that he has saddle the world with an “Iran war tax” by attacking Iran and causing oil prices to skyrocket…and that is going to cause everything else to increase in price, too…gas prices here are 65 cents higher than they were before idiot boy’s stupid war and it has been forecast that these price increases will add 1-2% to general inflation and that’s just to start…oh, and let’s add idiot boy’s stupid cancelling of wind and solar projects across the country so now the oil and gas price increases will be even worse since will will have to use this higher priced oil and gas instead of renewables…there was no planning when the toddler in chief and his cronies started this “gut feel” war and now we all have to pay for his stupidity for years…I never signed up for this crap…geez…
March 7th
Well…damn, out of bed at 5:14 again but I was up around three and that is getting frickin old…so tonight I’m going to do some thing about it…it looks like I may not be getting an outdoor ride today with rain as far back to the west as I can see so maybe today can be that light day I’ve been needing…I guess we’ll see…didn’t eat much yesterday with just a bagel and a turkey sandwich but no dinner and I think I’ll be feeling that later…no, I’m feeling it right now with no energy at all so the coffee will have to fix that…the wind has been howling all night and it still is and I can hear it shaking the house…and we have a high wind warning on right now so maybe there won’t be and outdoor ride…I’m sure not going out in 40mph gusts…I did finish the first Clive Cussler novel yesterday and it was pretty good…kept me interested through it and I have another one of his to read…by accident I picked up book by Jeffrey Deaver who the tv show “Tracker” is based on so I am curious if it will be a good one…more later…
Thunderstorms in March?
Well…just had a thunderstorm roll through here with tons of rain and that was a little weird since it’s only 46 here today…and we’re supposed to get an inch of rain today…I did get an outdoor ride in for the 3rd day in a row of 21 miles a day…felt good again to get out but today I had my rain gear on since there was a heavy mist happening the entire ride…supposed to rain again tomorrow so I’m not sure if I’ll get outside on the bike…getting close to 1,000 miles for the year that I should hit next week but I need to pick up the pace if I’m going to get to 8,000 miles this year…I’m enjoying my discovery of Clive Cussler and his books so I’ll have reading material for weeks and the wandering around the library worked pretty well Wed…okay back to reading…
Noem is gone…what about the 230 million?
Well…kristi noem is out at DHS for the mortal sin of trying to throw the idiot trump under the bus for approving a 230 million dollar grift…and this is just a case of noem trying to loot the federal government of the money by giving it to a firm that didn’t even exist 2 weeks ago…and who she has connections to…and who in hell spends 230 million dollars on commercials with her in them? I can’t wait til we take back the house and fire up an investigation into all of her corruption…oh, and her ICE thugs have murdered more than 50 people in the last year so let’s toss that into the investigation pot…geez…
Best economy in history?
Well…just last week the idiot trump crowed and lied that the US under him has “the best economy in history” so lets take a look at that…February’s jobs numbers came out today and they showed that the economy LOST 96,000 jobs last month and the number from January and December were revised so that the economy has lost jobs for 5 of the past 9 months…so no jobs at all have been added under the idiot trump…with the idiot’s stupid war on Iran, gas prices went up 11% Tuesday and market analysts are predicting oil prices are going to hit 150 dollars a barrel and that will mean gas of over 4 bucks a gallon…is that the best? With all of this happening, investors in the stock market are spooked and the dow has lost 1,700 points this week and we are looking at correction territory if this keeps up for another week…and this takes away the talking point that idiot boy croaks about all the time…that the stock market set a record under him…and his terrible tariffs are to blame for no jobs being added and inflation surging to almost 4% from the 1.8% that was handed him by Biden…so, is this the “best economy”…not even close to being a poor economy and the worst is yet to come…geez…
March 6th
Well…up and out of bed at 5 am and I feel just damn worn out today…just poured the first cup of coffee and need to pour it into me to get going…we’re supposed to get an inch of rain today so I’ll need to get out on the bike before 10 so I can get an outdoor ride in before the rain comes in…but that means I need to get on the weight work by 6am…it’s going to be raining for the next few days so I’ll be riding indoors but I’m not sure if I’ll do 2 rides or one…I think I need an easy day but that won’t start til tomorrow if I do it at all…didn’t get much done yesterday but I need to eat more today after only a bagel and a turkey sandwich yesterday…and that was only about 800 calories for the day and I’ll be feeling that today…so, I’ll toast a bagel in a few minutes with the 2nd cup of coffee so I’ll have a little fuel for the rides…not much to do today…just need to grit my teeth and get going but that seems like a lot of work right now…more later…
