Well…it was only 51 when I went out for the first ride this morning but it did warm up enough to get out in shorts for the 2nd ride and I saw tons of deer out there…that was kind of fun and I actually saw 3 bucks today which is pretty unusual…haven’t really accomplished anything else today without any ammonia to do the windows…I did get a father’s day message from my daughter saying “only 91 days til Italy” and that made me laugh…and my oldest son and daughter in law sent me a video of them out on the trails with father’s day wishes…and that was cool…the rest of the day was filled with soccer and races and reading and I have one book left to start and will do that after I make ice and clean my teeth…so that will put me back to Tuesday for the library run after hitting Meijers tomorrow for the ammonia…time for ice and reading…rain coming…
Has there ever been a more inept president?
Well…it looks like the “great deal” the idiot in chief gave away to the Iranians is already on life support after bibi attacked Lebanon…again…and then Iran closed the straits of Hormuz again yesterday…so where do you go now, moron? Look, it was bad enough that idiot boy was going to unfreeze 300 billion dollars in Iranian assets (do you remember the howl from the idiot when Obama unfroze about 25 billion?), but now he has given Iran veto power over the entire world economy by letting them close the strait whenever it suits them…and then extort billions that they never could if the moron didn’t attack Iran…and now he’s giving everything away just because he and his cronies are too stupid to understand Iran…and they fired everyone who did…as a toddler, he has gotten “bored” with Iran and the media’s focus on it…and wants to go back to building his stupid “ballroom” and his arch that will never be built…he considers himself a “builder” after all and it really does look like he wants to go back to that world since the real world is too hard…tough shit, idiot…geez…
June 21st
Well…damn, it’s only 51 degrees out there and that is just wrong for the end of June…it’s the summer solstice today with the most sunlight of any day of the year and it’s all downhill from here…I still can’t believe how cold it’s been this spring and it looks like I won’t get to the beach until July and that’s never happened before…I’ve been in the water by now every year I’ve lived out here and it sucks that it’s too cold to go to the beach…I’ll be wearing long pants for the first ride today when I get out by 6:30 but I hope it warms up enough to be in shorts for ride 2…I did get scorched from just standing outside yesterday so I’ll have to watch that…I did shift down to 50 sunscreen since I don’t like how my skin looks using the 100…a little sun won’t kill me…I hope…still don’t have to cook today but need to do the pork shoulder in the fridge tomorrow and I have all of the ingredients for Masala for later in the week so I will have food…and I’m going to hard boil some eggs today for egg salad tomorrow…and I have 10 pounds of potatoes so I’ll make some potato soup this week, too…not much to do today…just need to get the weight work done before I go out so I won’t forget to do it….more later…
A neighborly day…
Well…it wasn’t a bad day here but I am going to have to get used to how much light the clean windows let in the kitchen…pretty darn bright…had a pretty normal day today and went over 3,000 miles combined on the bike and that is way under what I’ve done any year…I know the weather has been crappy but I don’t remember taking any time off the bike..I mean since the weather got warm enough, I’ve been out for 26 miles a day…but I have to relax since I have no goals this year but to ride every day so I guess I should just enjoy it…went out to check if I had any ammonia in the garage…I didn’t…and on the way back to the house my neighbor said hi and we stood there over the fence just shooting the shit for almost 2 hours and that was a little neighborly..and fun…found out they have been really pushing on the rental people to shut the hell up since Connie works from home and her office faces on the idiot in the rental and can hear these drunks out there all day…and without sunscreen on, I got a little pink standing in the sun…made for a nice day…now it’s race time…
Trump is too stupid to understand symbolism…
Well….as the Iran deal that the idiot and his ignorant minions negotiated is being roundly panned as a “surrender” by the US…Macron of France did something that was such an epic bit of trolling of trump and his minions who hate history that I had to laugh out loud…the venue for the signing the surrender document was the palace of Versailles and I know that the world understands the significance of Versailles in ending WWI when the Germans signed the unconditional surrender documents there…and you could see Macron grinning in the background as the idiot trump signed the papers with lil marco standing beside him…how much more trolling could you ever get? This just shows that the world is fed up with the idiot and has no respect for him at all…would this ever have happened to Obama? Never in a million years and I would have loved to be within ketchup range when someone explained this to idiot boy like the toddler he is…he is getting laughed at and his lies are getting called out loudly…as when he lied about the Italian premier “begging” him to have a photo taken with him at the G7 meeting..she came out and blasted trump for being the liar he is and said that “Italians never beg” while she cancelled a trip of her second in command to economic talks in the US…this is how you deal with this lunatic and I’m glad the entire world has had enough…geez…
June 20th
Well…how the heck can I be running late at 6:15am? But I am…normally I have this done already and I’m putting sunscreen on to get ready for the bike but not today…so I need to haul butt and get going…I did get 3 windows in the kitchen cleaned yesterday but my poor planning is going to keep me from doing more til Monday…didn’t look to see how much ammonia I had and only had enough to do one batch of windows and blinds and I’m not going to Meijers on the weekend…but it is nice to have those windows cleaned since they are the ones that I let light in when I get up in the morning…didn’t sleep much last night but the coffee is pouring down quickly so I think I can cope with it…and I made more coffee this morning to ensure I have enough to take a cup on the 2nd ride…I did break out the new earbuds that I’ve had in the drawer for almost a year now since I thought the old ones were going to fail but never did…but the sheath on the wires was falling apart and looked pretty shabby so I set the equalizer in the mp3 player to match them and they sound good…and the old pair lasted years so I may just buy another set for a spare…not much to do today…I am going to continue cleaning the kitchen today and I don’t need to cook so it will be an easy day after the rides…more later…
Got some work done…
Well…having been a slug for too long so getting some work done was necessary today…and I did…got the kitchen windows torn apart and cleaned along with the blinds on them…and now I only have 8 more to do…I did get two rides in today since the weather was much nicer than yesterday and saw a freighter I’ve never seen just cruising down Muskegon Lake and I still think that’s cool to have huge freighters in downtown Muskegon…still need to do the weight work and I’ll get to that right after I’m done with this…the US is playing it’s 2nd game against Australia right now so I’ll be watching that for a while at least…it looks like it’s going to rain again tonight but not much and then no rain for at least 10 days so the lawn goes away again…oh, well…okay, want to watch the game and get the work done…1-0 US 10 minutes in…yay!
It’s a war crime…
Well…when the idiot trump started bombing Iran, one of the places that was hit was a town of Minab and a school there where 170 children and teachers were killed…and trump and his minions keep on saying it was an “accident” and that those kinds of things happen in war…but I have a question…if this was an “accident” why was there a 2nd strike on the school 40 minutes later when the parents were digging through the rubble looking for their children? One answer is that most of the kids were children of military parents whose unit was responsible for closing the strait of Hormuz and the idiot trump and his cronies knew that…and the double tap 40 minutes after the children were killed only purpose was to kill the parents, too and that is a war crime as was targeting a school…this is how war criminals act and I truly hope these assholes end up in the Hague on trial for doing this in the name of Americans…they all knew what they were doing and it was murder plain and simple and these assholes need to be held accountable…geez…
I just noticed
Well…as I was getting to the wake up post here, I noticed that I’ve gone over 14,000 posts since I started this thing years ago and I’m not sure if that’s an accomplishment or just habit and I wonder how many hours it’s taken me to get here? I do know that when my site was down, I really missed coming here and doing this…and, while I like Mastodon and the friends I have there, my self limitation of no politics there left me with no outlet for my outrage on the state of this country…and I really need that to defuse it so it doesn’t pollute my day…so, to my readers who come here every day, thank you…and I’ll try to keep it up…
June 19th
Well…not out of bed til 5:30 this morning and I think that’s because I just didn’t get up until I saw the light starting to come through my bedroom window…tossed and turned a bunch but didn’t give up and I’m rewarded by feeling okay this morning…it looks calm out there today and it’s going to be sunny and with it already 60, the rides should be good today and I’ll be out before 7…made the first whole bean coffee in a while today and even though I can’t taste much, I can tell the difference and it tastes good…and I’ll keep looking for affordable stuff on amazon and try to buy more…I have been enjoying the world cup and the USA plays Australia this afternoon and I’m hoping it’s a good match…if we win, it’s on to the knockout round and we win the group…not sure if we’ve ever done that before…made chicken stir fry yesterday that will last me til next week so that pushes the pork shoulder back til Monday or so and I can live with that…I am going to start on the windows today and at least get the ones in the kitchen done along with scrubbing the blinds in there…and I may as well get the rest of the cleaning done, too, so that will be a couple of hours of work and one thing off my list…more later…
