Well…it appears that the entire world is tired of the idiot trump screwing things up and everyone is laughing at him…and are openly mocking him and the stupid crap he says and does…the French, Germans, Australians, Canadians, and the UK have all weighed in on his toothless threats and stupidity for starting the war with Iran and his continuing economic damage to the entire world…it really does look like they are finding their voices and are no longer giving him the benefit of the doubt on anything…especially the NATO countries who just laughed at his threats to pull out of NATO when they know he can’t do it by himself…gee, I guess they know more about how our government works than the ignorant moron in the WH…really, anybody does since idiot boy knows nothing about anything…geez…
March 4th
Well…I really don’t understand where the energy comes from to power thunderstorms that are raging here when it’s only 40 degrees but it’s happening so there must be something…up and moving before 5:30 today but it’s a bit of a struggle just to get my brain working without coffee and I’m pouring it down but I don’t think I have enough to drag me into the day…I do need to get going since I need to hit the library for more books since they were closed yesterday and I finished up the last one in the afternoon…didn’t get much done yesterday but the painting and some light cleaning and I’ll probably do the same today…no painting since I went through the quart I bought already and now the wait begins to see if it will work on the spalling…no cooking today with the pizza leftovers and lots of ham left…I probably should run to Meijers when I’m out to see if I can get a pork shoulder to cook in the instant pot but I really don’t like going there on the weekend…I guess we’ll see…more later…
Another death…
Well…I guess this is to be expected as we age but it is still never easy to hear…my youngest sister messaged me today to say that one of my brothers in law died this week…he was in a nursing home with dementia and died from a massive stroke Wednesday…he was a good guy and they were married for 60 years…no obit or funeral so I guess I’ll just send good thoughts my sister’s way…
A little rant…
Well…okay, going to go on a little rant right now and it might not be pretty…got everything done early today so I could hit the library for more books but the place was closed for good Friday and I am so tired of religion followed by less than half the people in this country dictating to the rest of us…as you know, I don’t celebrate any religious holidays since I’m a big ole atheist and don’t suffer the delusions of the religious…and let’s be blunt…the easter story that they are celebrating this weekend was cribbed from a story from India that was told 1,500 years before jesus as was much of the supposedly “divinely written” bible…and that’s the thing about religion, they expect you to take their holy book as truth when much of it was written by ignorant goat herders who took things that now can be explained by science and made them into their religions…I really do hate the purposely ignorant people who think their “faith” should have the same weight as facts and then tries to force their beliefs down everyone’s throats…and don’t get me started about the second class status they want to impose on women who are seen as things to be used by men with no thought that they should have equal rights…religion is evil and the sooner it is gone the better…geez…
Firing top military staff during a war…
Well…we all know that the drunk hegseth has no business being the secretary of defense since his only qualification for the job was kissing idiot boy’s butt when he was a tv host on fox…and he proved it last night with firing a dozen top military staff in the middle of a war they already don’t know how to get out of…this is a perfect example of stupid people thinking they are smarter and better qualified than the experts who have served their entire lives in the military…and that basically describes every stupid person that idiot boy has appointed during his America wrecking term…so now these guys will be replaced with more white nationalist “christian” morons who see attacking Iran as a “holy war” making them no better than any muslim country doing the same thing…man, it’s going to take years to repair the damage these assholes are doing…geez…
March 3rd
Well…slept all the way in til 5:40 this morning…and yes, that is sarcasm…I really don’t sleep much anymore and it is tiring running on coffee all the time…but that is life so I guess I’ll live with it…I do have a couple of things to do this morning and that means I’ll have to drag myself out to run an errand to get more books from the library and hit DD to see if there is anything I need since their ad has not reset like it’s supposed to on Tuesdays…it rained here the entire day yesterday and it’s supposed to rain again tomorrow with another inch or so and I’m just glad it’s not snow…have to start thinking about putting the summer wheels back on the car but hey need to be cleaned first and I can’t open up the outside water spigot until it’s not going to freeze but that won’t happen for another week or so…it’s going to be in the 30’s for a high next week and that sucks…it’s April and we should be seeing spring but 50’s is not spring to me…not much to do today…just the errand and the normal stuff and putting another coat of paint on the repairs…more later…
First coat of paint done…
Well…as I was siting here on my butt just reading, it hit me that it’s been a week since I did the cement repairs and that it should be cured enough to paint…so I went down and got the first coat of Zinsser’s peel stop paint on it and I’ll let that dry for a couple of days before put the second coat on it…only used about a third of the quart that I bought so I’ll easily get one more and maybe two more coats from it…I have a few more places that need to be repaired and painted so I’ll probably buy another quart soon and get started on that…I do want to paint the bike room and continue the grey with white trim as I’ve done up here…I guess we’ll see if it works or not…didn’t get much else done today other than the normal stuff and some reading…man, it’s been raining hard out here since I gut up at 5am this morning and we are supposed to get 2 inches of rain today and another inch a day Friday and Saturday…it’s pounding against the siding and we even had some thunder roll though and I can figure that out with it only 35 degrees out here…at least it’s not snow…more reading…
Trying to bully the SC…
Well…the idiot trump went to the SC yesterday to try to bully them into saying that the 14th amendment that grants citizenship to anyone born here doesn’t say that…and in the entire history of this country, not one president did this stupid thing…and when the justices telegraphed that they were not going to rule for him, idiot boy stomped out of the courtroom before the defense even got it’s chance to speak…just as always this idiot thought that all he had to do to tear up the constitution is put his signature on a piece of paper and it would be the law of the land…but that’s not how this works…and now idiot boy is threatening to pull out of NATO since none of the countries in it support his stupid war in Iran…the only way we can leave NATO is with a 2/3rd’s vote in the senate since it is a treaty and those are the rules for treaties…so, again, this ignorant asshole is still just blundering around like a blind baby as his approval polls show that 65% of the country do not approve of anything and that is the highest of any president in history…keep talking idiot…there is nowhere to go but down…geez…
April 2nd
Well…up and moving a little after 5…again…but today is going to be an easy one with the rain keeping me off the outdoor bike so all I have to do is the weight work and one indoor ride and that means I’ll be done before 8:30 or so…didn’t eat much yesterday but 2 pieces of pizza but I’m having a bagel to get the day started today…but not for a while…need to drown myself in coffee first or I just won’t get started…going to have to get off my butt and get the lawnmower fixed so I can start on the yard work soon but I think I can put that off for a few days…and just live for a while…not sure what I’m going to cook today but it will probably be just heating up some leftover pizza…don’t really feel like making mashed potatoes to go with the ham so that will wait til tomorrow…not much to do today…just going to get the normal stuff done and then clean a bit…it’s raining and almost cold enough for it to be snow and that sucks on April 2nd…more later…
Moon launch at 6:24 today…
Well…I almost forgot about the Artemis II moon launch today where they are sending 4 astronauts for a loop around the back of the moon and then back here…the flight is supposed to last until the 9th and it will be so cool to see a rocket launch that has nothing to do with ole elon…didn’t get much done today but the exercise but no outdoor ride since it’s still just a bit above 40 here and I’m not going to be that cold anymore…supposed to start raining later tonight and rain all day tomorrow and tomorrow night with some storms thrown in…so it will be indoor rides for the next few days…I did get another BAH at Meijers this morning and I picked up a 10 pound bag of potatoes at aldis for only 2.79 so I’m good on them for a while…used my next to last frozen pizza today so that means it will be a one meal day for me…didn’t even have a bagel for lunch so I can make a snack later…okay, back to reading…
