Well…the way the news is reporting it, the trump coverup of the epstein files started when the law was passed that requires that the DOJ release all of the files…or I should say all of the remaining files since it was revealed today that the coverup started the day epstein died when agents for the trump DOJ started shredding files and there were bags and bags of giant sized garbage bags that were then just thrown in dumpsters…now the agents who did this should be charged with obstruction of justice but I guess we’ll have to wait for that until 2028 and we have a real president…I really can’t wait for the investigations to start in January of 2027 after we take the House and Senate back…geez…
Owww….
Well…I didn’t realize how hard I went on the outdoor bike yesterday until I got out of bed this morning and my legs hurt so much I could barely move…my hamstrings are so tight today that I can’t bend over at all…just tried to put something in my trash can and I was just howling in pain…so, for two days in a row, I’ve taken an ibuprofen to deal with it and I hope that fixes the pain in my left elbow and right thumb too…so today I’m taking it easy with just the weights and an indoor ride…I could have gone out for a ride but I don’t want to be cold and I know that wouldn’t help my legs any…I did start to plan meals after I use up the leftovers today but Meijers has spiral sliced hams on sale for 89 cents a pound so I’ll go out Tuesday to pick one up and then do the library trip…and I’ll be eating from that ham for 10 days or so and will probably pick up another one next week…can’t beat that price for protein…
March 22nd
Well…damn, I feel like crap this morning and my allergies have flared up and my head feels like it’s filled with concrete…the temp falls all day today so I’m not sure if I’ll get an outdoor ride in today…might just do the indoor ride and call it good…didn’t sleep at all last night with getting up at three and then out of bed at 5:07…just would love to sleep in til 6 or so but that is never going to happen again…the bike worked well after all of the work on it yesterday and I hope it stays that way…won’t be back on it til tomorrow and that may be a good thing…I hurt so much last night that I had to take an ibuprofen and that never happens…still sore and stiff this morning and I could use a rest day and I may take it easy and just read but I need to figure out how much of a help the coffee will be when it works…not much to do today…need to figure out meals after today when the leftovers run out…and I need to clean but I don’t want to think about that right now…more later…
What a pain in the butt…
Well…thought I had the rear wheel fixed but it wasn’t so I had to rebuild the wheel from the black bike that I have been stealing parts from for the past few years…and that meant swapping a spoke out that took when one broke on the grey bike so that meant swapping out the sprocket cassette and the bearing carrier and putting the tire on the other wheel…then putting the bike back together…going to look to see what a new rear wheel will cost so I’ll be able to ride when this one breaks…worked on that for two hours and I still need to get an outdoor ride in after the Michigan game is over…okay, back tot he game…
It’s going to get worse…
Well…with the economy teetering on the brink of recession, the numbers are telling us it’s going to get worse…after idiot boy’s stupid war, inflation is roaring with gas prices up over a dollar a gallon and now we are seeing food inflation that is going nuts…I mean the prices for fresh vegetables are up almost 50% and general food prices are up 2.5%…in just one month which makes the yearly rate 25%…and the job market is so soft that the Fed chair said that there is zero growth in the job market that has never happened before…and it’s all from the idiot trump and his ignorance in how the economy works…have you heard any plans from idiot boy about how he’s going to fix this? Nope, but you did hear about his ugly ballroom and the new gold coin with his ugly face on it that he is going to have minted…and that should show the maga folks what he cares about and it’s not them or anyone else…it’s going to get much, much worse…geez…
March 21st
Well…up at a little after 4 again but didn’t get out of bed til after 5:30 and I’m not sure if that’s a win or not…still don’t feel like I slept at all but I’m not going to whine about that…going to try to get an outdoor ride in today but I’m not sure when that will be…Michigan plays at noon and that’s when it will be warm enough to go out…oh, well…I’ll get an indoor ride in and the weight work done and then I can build on that later….still don’t have to cook today and it looks like tomorrow but then I need to get some meal planning done…probably a pizza since I have green pepper that needs to be used and I do need to clear the freezer out…down to the last two books and I am pondering stopping reading for a while so I can get other things done…need to clean the basement and get rid of the cobwebs and start working on getting rid of everything…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and basketball along with a race later…the 12 hours of Sebring is on starting at 10am so I’ll run that in the background…more later…
Got an outdoor ride in…
Well…after I got the weight work and indoor ride in today, it was raining so I didn’t think I was going to be able to get out for a ride but it cleared off about 10 or so and I jumped on the bike to get a ride in…it was a pain in the butt with the little ratchet mechanism in the rear wheel that allows you to free wheel not engaging so every time I stopped pedaling, the pedals just went around with no movement of the rear wheel…so I crippled it back here and then took some WD and soaked the sprocket carrier and it appears to be fixed…I’ll give it a try when I go out tomorrow…the trails were almost clear but cluttered with leaves, branches and other crud from the heavy rains we had last week…and part of the trail was still flooded but it was easy to ride through it…but it was so dirty on the trail that I had to wash the bike when I got back here…okay…time to read…
Stupid, stupid war…
Well…the fallout form the idiot trump’s stupid war is hitting American pocketbooks hard and, in gas prices alone, we are paying out an extra 575 million dollars a DAY since the idiot attacked…and now the average price of gas is up over 4 bucks a gallon and heading higher since the idiot has no idea what the hell he’s doing…and now he wants to invade an Iranian island where the oil depot is and these lunatics are shooting their mouths off that they are going to “grab Iran by the balls” and that kind of crap is just going to stiffen Iran’s back…and idiot boys 3 week war has been changed to indefinite since idiot boy thought Iran would fold after a few missile strikes…what a stupid war from a bunch of stupid, stupid people…geez…
March 20th
Well…up way too early today at 4:55 and I really hate getting up this early…I may try to do two outdoor rides today since it’s already over 40 gut that will need a change in my schedule that I’m not sure I’m ready for…but I’ll do anything to stay off the indoor bike…just getting damn tired of riding indoors…and if I do that, I can sit here and have coffee until it gets light and that has some attraction…didn’t get anything done yesterday and I can live with just two outdoor rides and then some basketball and reading…I do have to plan some meals in a couple of days but still have leftovers that will last the weekend and I’ll be eating out of the freezer for the next week…need to clean the fridge at some point since it’s getting a little grungy and piling up some old food that needs to go…not much to do today…just going to ease into it with getting up so damn early and the coffee not working yet….more later…
Melting finally…
Well…the sun came out today! It hasn’t for a least the past week so it’s pretty darned welcome…and with it over 40, the snow has finally started to melt with the walks and the street clear for the first time in almost two weeks…so tomorrow I’ll suit up in the afternoon to take a look at the trails and see if I can get through…still only going to be in the upper 40’s but I’ve been out in that a lot this year so far…after all of the activity yesterday, I’m taking it easy today with just the normal stuff and now March Madness and reading…still pretty sore for some reason and my left thigh has joined in with my left elbow to give me more pain…damn, this getting old is tough…and it’s nice I don’t have to cook today…okay, back to reading…
