Well…have had another busy day today with getting the first ride in when it was still almost dark, then doing the grocery run and stopping at 4 stores, putting gas in the car…yikes! and then getting the second ride in after I got home…it was still pretty chilly when I did the run but I put the top down anyway and my car is starting to be so much fun having such a nice car to fool around in now that I have the clutch sorted…and I almost have the tires balanced but I’ll have to go back to Chuck and get the other two balanced to get it completely fixed…have felt just worn out again today and I think it’s from getting up at 4:31 this morning…my last remaining brother gets up at that time every day but damn, I don’t know he deals with running out of steam later in the day…I do have Tom to thank for clueing me in on how to trim my ratchet belt so it’s not 6 inches too long…took about a minute and I took off 3 1/2 inches and it fits much better now…I even used my kitchen scissors to cut it like he did and they cut through the leather like nothing…so now I don’t have to thread the extra 6 inches through the belt loops…I did get some brush killer at menards this morning and I’m going to dose the trash trees in my fence to get rid of them…not cheap at 17 bucks but getting ride of that trash is worth the money…I did get deals at DD today and may have gone a little overboard with buying 4, 4 cheese self rising pizzas when I still have one in the freezer…but for 1.29 each? I’m making that one tomorrow and then I’ll have to find room to fit the other 4 that are now sitting on top of my ice cube trays…okay time to read a bit…
All in for the idiot trump..
Well…every damn day I shake my head at the stupidity of trump voters and an article I read this morning just shows it better than anything…this voter Gerald from the Atlanta area said he was a lifelong dem voter but to start with, I don’t believe that for a minute…how can you go from voting for a decent man, Joe Biden, to the most corrupt, ignorant, and terrible person in the world? This moron rates the idiot’s performance at “A+++” but then goes on to say that gas prices are “kicking his butt” and he can’t afford to drive his diesel truck anymore so it sits while he drives his wife’s car…and he has been trying to deal with the rising price of food by not going out to restaurants anymore and fasting for days every week…and he tries to spin that by saying fasting is good for them and goes on to say that inflation is good since they stopped eating and spending money on groceries and wouldn’t do that without it…now, let’s just stop to think about that…it’s good for the environment since he can’t drive his truck anymore (but doesn’t believe in climate change), and it’s just the best thing in the world that he can’t afford food anymore…this sure sound like what people in a delusional cult would say…”I’m all in for trump and I really don’t care that I’m going broke and starving” this is the kind of person who deserves to starve since they have shown they don’t have the intelligence to survive or change when faced with facts…geez…
May 20th
Well…damn, up at 4:31 again today and I am not going to let my frustrations boil over into obsessing about it all morning…I did sleep okay so I guess that’s something…going to be a busy morning today with the normal stuff but I am going to get a bike ride in outdoors before I do the grocery run but it will be in long pants since it’s only 51…and that means I need to get out by 6:30 or so but that’s the new normal so no big deal…need to hit 4 stores this morning with some great deals at DD and I need to hit menards to get some brush killer to kill off the damn trash bushes in the house that’s for sale so I don’t have to keep trimming them…and that’s 20 bucks for a small bottle but worth it if these damn things die and stop damaging my fence…started my day with the leftover Lavazza coffee and I do like what I can taste of it…but I don’t think I need to buy any more coffee right now…still have 2 1/2 bags of beans and the huge can that I just bought that will get me to the middle of summer…the can is a very coarse grind that I am going to put in my grinder to see if that changes anything…can you tell I’m bored? Have leftovers for today but then will need to figure out meals for the rest of the week…really bored with what I’ve been cooking so new recipes are going to be tried…more later…
I couldn’t help myself…
Well…as I sat here late this morning running out of coffee, I couldn’t help my self and got out the Lavazza beans and made some pour over coffee with it…it’s pretty good and has more than just coffee flavor in it…I can’t taste much but I could tell it has a nuanced flavor with hints of citrus in it that I like a lot…and for 21 bucks for 35 ounces it’s not a bad deal…will I buy more of it? Not sure yet with all of the coffee I have here but it’s nice to know I have coffee for the next couple of months…I did get 26 miles in on the bike but didn’t get anything else done but make pasta salad that I had a big plate of with chicken for dinner…it looks like DD has some deals so I’m going to stop there tomorrow as part of the grocery run…I mean, 4 cheese self rising pizzas for 1.29 each…and I get three meals out of them so that’s about 43 cents a meal and that’s a bargain…and they have smoked ham and roasted chicken for a 1.29, too so I’ll stock up and fill the freezer again…just finished a book and that leaves me 3 more to do this week and I’ll need to hit the library before the weekend to get more before it’s closed for the holiday…okay, time to pick another book and get started…
So now you get paid to be a criminal?
Well…how much more corrupt can the idiot trump and his minions be? No, that’s not a challenge but it seems like it is with the latest corruption of the justice department that is going to set up a taxpayer sourced fund of 1.7 billion dollars to reward the criminals who attacked the capital on January 6th since idiot boy thinks they deserve “reparations” since they got caught and convicted…so what’s next? Bank robbers who are caught getting the amount that they stole as “reparation” for getting caught…how frickin sick is this? Look what the dems need to do right now is get out there in the media and saying that any money given to these criminals will be clawed back after we take over this fall…don’t reward trump and his asshole followers with thinking they will ever get to keep a penny…what this really is is just another grift and I’m sure all of this money will end up in idiot boy’s pocket…shame on the repubs for going along with this corruption of the legal system…they need to pay in the fall…geez…
May 19th
Well…I wonder if I should just move the clocks to make it look like I’m getting up at a reasonable time instead of the 4:45 I climbed out of bed this morning? That would probably be easier than figuring out how to sleep longer…but I feel okay so maybe I don’t have to do anything…if the pain I’m feeling is just the start of what I’ll feel tomorrow with the 2 day rule, it’s going to be ugly tomorrow…but I’ll try to get ahead of it with some topicals before I get on the bike this morning…I should be able to get two rides in before 9 if I get out at sunup…it may even rain today…ha,ha…no, that’s not going to happen…I do need to cook today and I’m going to make the pasta salad I’ve been thinking about for weeks to go with the chicken I’m going to bake for lunch…still have pasta for dinner and I need to think if I need to buy more chicken tomorrow at 2.19 a pound…there is room in the freezer for it as I gradually draw down what’s in there…and the last pizza will be used thurs so I do have food to eat for the rest of the week…I really can’t taste the dark roast coffee I bought so I guess it will still work as a CDS…I did talk to my daughter yesterday and she seems excited by the Italy trip…she even talked about upgrading out seating on the flight over and back to 1st class for 4 grand but I told her I’m good just being on the plane…but she is changing our seats so we are in a two person row on the outside of the plane so we can see out the window and that’s pretty cool…not much to do today…just want to get the rides in and then have an easy day…I do need to do some cleaning but I’m not sure what that will be yet…more later…
I’m beat…again…
Well…the rain really sucked as the storms missed to the south and all we got was a little shower…but why am I surprised? It never rains hard here…at least in the 5 years I’ve lived here it’s maybe happened 5 times and that’s why I have no lawn…oh, well…I am so beat right now and sore from the transition from indoor rides to hard outdoor rides…but I’m not sure that’s why I’m so worn out…geez…I sure hope it’s not from just getting old because there’s nothing I can do about that…like I said before, I feel like I’ve been on a three day bender and barely have the energy to just sit here…okay, I’ll stop complaining now..it’s pretty darn humid out here after the rain and the sky is clear so the sun is boiling the rain up into the sky and that’s okay after I bitched so much about the cold that is coming back Wed when it will be in the 50’s but just for one day so I think I an deal with that…okay, time to find something to watch tonight…
Looks like rain…
Well…it finally looks like rain here after weeks of drought and it’s not too soon to keep my yard alive…but there is no way we are going to get the 5 inches to quench our deficit and that sucks…I did get the lawn mowed in between outdoor rides this morning so I guess that’s something…the rides were fun with the bike working like new but damn, it was windy and coming around the condo building and heading south stopped me in my tracks…almost…was down to 3rd gear on the back sprockets when I normally go through there in 7th but I made it with some work and I am stiff and sore from it..I did get to 2,000 miles for the year this morning and that’s cool but it’s almost 1,000 miles under where I was at this time last year so it looks like I won’t be getting to 8K miles this year…and I blame the damn cold weather that kept me inside almost to May this year…so I’m trying to make up for it by doing 26 miles a day and have a full week in of that but I’ll have to do that every day to get even close…didn’t get anything else done today and I am going to read this afternoon before I have to figure out what’s for dinner…I do have chicken in the freezer and aldis has it on sale for 2.19 a pound and I may buy another tray and then figure out how to cook it…don’t want masala so maybe just bake some to make sandwiches? Don’t need to figure that out right now…back to reading a I wait for the storms…yeah, right…that’s a laugh…
There are no phones…
Well…not sure if you read about this one yet but with all of the idiot trump’s grifts, it’s hard to keep track of them…this one attacked his maga followers and should have turned them away from him but when you’re in a cult, any kind of abuse from dear leader is taken as great and then they ask for more…so, this is a good one…a couple of years ago, idiot boy and his family came up with the idea to sell a “freedom phone” that was something something patriotic and asked for a 100 dollar deposit to “keep your place in line” for the phones and over half a million of the rubes did just that…gifting idiot boy with over 50 million dollars…and now years later, there is no phone and no inkling of when it would be shipped to the stupid…now, this would be funny…no it is funny since there is plenty of evidence out there that this is just another scam like everything else the idiot has done but that didn’t matter to these morons…they are all in to the cult and if it costs them 100 bucks gone poof into the air there must be a great reason that their god just isn’t revealing to them yet…you would think that one of the maga lawyers that got screwed in this scam would sue and it would be easy to get it to class action state since it is clear that idiot boy and his family lied their asses off to separate the gullible from their cash and had no intention of producing or selling a phone at all…but this is how strong this cult is…when some of these morons were asked if they were concerned that the phone is two years overdue they just said “there must be a reason for it” and let it go at that…what a bunch of idiots…geez..
May 18th
Well…this is weird…it’s over 70 here right now at 5:40 am and maybe spring is here? But it’s only going to be 59 for a high Wed with a low of 41 Tues night so nature is still screwing with us…trying the new dark roast coffee and I really can’t taste it so I guess it will be a good CDS anyway…it was cheap at 11 bucks for 35 ozs so I can live with it…I am going to get out on the bike as soon as it’s light so that give me about 45 minutes to get the weight work done and figure out if I’m going to mow today…it’s been 2 weeks since I did it last and I think it may need it since we’re supposed to get rain this aft and off and on for a few days…it still looks like it’s dying but it has spots that are still growing so I guess I can even it out…the wind is blowing over 15 right now so the rides are going to be a little work but I should have 26 miles in by 9 or or so and that would get me done for the day by around 10 if I get off my butt and get moving…I do have to figure out meals for the rest of the week but I do have the last frozen pizza to use with the mushrooms and green pepper in the fridge so that will probably be tomorrow…not much else to do today but aren’t the rides and mowing enough? More later…
