Well…It really wasn’t much of a plan but today has turned out to be a pretty easy Sunday…only did one ride today and I didn’t even go out to shovel the 3 inches of snow we got overnight…I’m done with shoveling this year until November and I’m going to just let it melt since it’s sunny out here…the sports for the day started out good with Man U winning their 9am game and then watching some MotoGP, and now indycar until the Nascar race comes on at 3:30…and there will be reading in between…just remembered I took a half pound of bacon out of the freezer so I think I’ll have breakfast for dinner to go with the bowl of soup I had for lunch….okay time to post at Mastodon and then back to reading…
These people are just evil..
Well…You probably haven’t heard this story yet but I just have to do one of these about the abject evil of the ICE thugs who are terrorizing this country…just a couple of weeks ago, ICE picked up a blind Rohingya refugee from Burma who spoke no english…once they determined they had no basis to deport him they dumped him in a parking lot in the cold 5 miles from his house and without notifying the family…he died trying to find his way home and the reaction of ICE is just a shoulder shrug and a smirk from the spokesman…these people are just evil and they better figure out that with the change coming in November, they will be held accountable for this and every other incident where their actions have caused harm..and a bunch of them are going to end up in jail…geez…
March 1st
Well…that kinda sucked…up and down all night and woke up for good at 5:14 but I tried to sleep more but gave up at 5:44…feel pretty worn out but need to get off my butt and get moving now to get the rides in before Man U plays at 9am…not sure if I’ll have a bagel for breakfast but I probably should so that means I need to get the teeth in now and get on the weights by 6:30…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same with soccer and two races on starting at noon…and I have a book to finish so it will be a nice relaxing day…okay, not really with needing to get two rides in before 9 and that is pretty stressful…and it snowed overnight and again I think Michigan is just screwing with us…we made it to March and it’s supposed to be warming up and it looks like it’s going to but then it’s going to crash back into the 30’s by the middle of the month…ick…only 17 degrees out there right now and I am just so damn tired of the cold…more later…
Can we call it the “epstein” war?
Well…with the attack that the orange idiot did against Iran, can we call this the epstein war? We all know the only reason for this attack was to push the epstein files off the front page…you know he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Iran and idiot boy thinks the only way to come to an agreement is to bully people and countries and that makes him look “strong”…after all, the agreement he’s trying to get from Iran is identical to the one he walked away from that was negotiated by Obama and his team…and I’m sure that Israel led him into this since netenyahu is a bully, too…you just have to look at the destruction of the Gaza strip to see that…so now Americans are going to die for this draft dodging asshole…how would you feel if your kid was sent to war and killed by the worst person in the world? Still no declaration of war in the House either…geez…
February 28th
Well…it’s the last day of February and I’m damn tired of being cold…didn’t drag my butt out of bed til 6:21 and I’m going to feel it all day today just like yesterday…need to get going and do the weight work that I skipped yesterday but I needed the day off for recovery that I never give myself…took a way too easy day yesterday with just an indoor ride and an outdoor ride and then just reading and I really hoped today would be the same but I can’t allow that…it’s 7am and I’m just getting through the first cup of coffee and it was strange to smell the coffee already brewing when I was lying in bed…I had a long string of getting up at or before 5am and the benadryl really knocked me out but the after effects make me feel like crap so I’m not sure if it’s worth it…not much to do today…just need to get off my ass and get moving…should clean today and I might but I’m not sure what that will be…more later…
Outdoor riding today…
Well…it got up to mid 40’s today so, of course, I got an outdoor ride in…the trails have melted a little but they are still impassable and it looks like they will be until at least the end of March unless it really warms up and stays there and it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen…I will be happy when I can get back to 25 miles a day…almost all of the snow has melted except for the big piles and the roads are still icy from the snow that fell a few days back so I had to be careful today…won’t be back outside until Monday since it’s only going to be in the 30’s this weekend…okay, it looks like I won’t be outdoors again til at least Wed but this is pretty normal for out here…heading for spring…okay, have some reading to do…
Men’s maga team…
Well…with the men’s US hockey team letting themselves be turned into props for maga and just bubbling over the idiot trump calling meeting him “the best day our lives” I damn near gagged…what the hell is wrong with these morons? I guess that is what happens when people who have lived privileged lives and been coddled for all of it react to being used by the worst damn person in the world..at least 5 of them declined to be a prop and I say thanks to them…at least a few of them are bright enough to know what was going to happen to anything that idiot boy touches…I know that there will be apologists out there that will say that going to the WH after an accomplishment is normal but this president is not normal..no other president has politicized WH visits at all and put the focus on the players…but not trump…with him it’s all me,me,me and even the most stupid hockey player should know that…I guess they’re not too bright…geez…
February 27th
Well…damn, running so late this morning that I don’t think I’ll catch up…didn’t get out of bed til 6:27 and that is the fault of taking a benadryl to try to get over getting out of bed around 5 every day…but, I feel like crap so I won’t be repeating that tonight…today is the anniversary of moving out here to Muskegon…5 years and I have no clue where the time went…it’s not a bad place to live and I’ll have my house paid off in another 10 years if I live that long…so today is going to be a day of throwing out the schedule and just letting the day flow and be what it wants to…I may be able to get an outdoor ride in this afternoon and I am really curious about how much snow is still on the trails…I would love to get on them but I know there is still ice and snow on them if it’s anything like the past 4 years…they haven’t been clear until April but the time is coming for 25 mile outdoor days and I can’t wait…not much to do today…should clean but I have a new bag of books to read and no motivation to do that…more later…
A busy morning…
Well…it was a really busy morning this morning and I had a lot to do…started with the two rides and weight work and right after that I warmed the car up and then ran an errand to pay the water bill get my car registered for free beach parking…no stickers this year…darn…and then over to the library for more books and then to Meijers to pick up some things I forgot to get the other day…after that was all done, I did the weekly load of laundry and got the chance to read a bit and tried one of the breaded chicken patties I got at DD yesterday and they are not bad…have kind of a tempura breading on them and they are only 140 calories so I don’t feel bad eating one on bread with lettuce and tartar sauce…but I ate way too much today and will have to skip the bagel tomorrow and just have some ham soup I thawed and maybe another chicken sandwich…okay, time to read…
Just pathetic…
Well…the ICE thugs have been show time after time to be scared little babies dressed up in full battle kit and armed and yet they continue to freak out whenever anyone is anywhere near them…in October of 2025, an ICE agent, Israel D. Hernandez called 911 ad freaked out because some kid was riding an e-bike behind his car, saying “I need someone here now or I’m going to have to shoot this kid” the kid was not threatening him in any way…didn’t throw a molotov cocktail at his car, didn’t brandish a gun…all he did was ride on the street behind this guy and he just totally lost it…what the hell kind of freaks are so scared they ready a weapon to shoot an unarmed kid? Just another reason that ICE has to go…geez…
