Well…I’ve talked about the debacle of the idiot trump hiding in a food container and sending AF1 filled with aides and reporters out of Turkey as a decoy based on some “strong intelligence” that relayed a threat towards the idiot boy…ha, we now know that the “intelligence” came from Israel and it wasn’t strong at all…in fact the speculation is that Israel did it to embarrass idiot boy since he has been telling everyone that netenyahu is his “poodle” and does whatever he says…and the Iranians are laughing at idiot boy as he cowers in fear when any other “president” would have laughed at it…what a chickenshit…and he spends millions to play “3 plane monte” trying to protect his skin at all costs…has there ever been a more worthless person in the world? I don’t think so…geez…
August 14th
Well…damn, running late this morning with not getting out of bed til 5:31 and now it’s almost 6 and I’ve just poured the first cup of coffee…so I need to get hauling butt and have a bagel before I ride today to keep the legs from going flat…it feels good that I accomplished something yesterday but that means I can take the day off today…might even go out to the beach if it’s sunny this morning…think I’m going to have to make more coffee today before I get on the bike…just another task that I need to do to get my butt moving and ensure that I have enough to fill the contego cup for the 2nd ride…pretty darn sore today and my back and neck are howling at me from reaching over my head with the scrub brush for 2 hours… but I’ll get through it…finally got the hornets taken care of yesterday and I think I used enough bug spray to kill everything downstairs and won’t have to spray again this year…the house looks really white after cleaning it and I still marvel at how dirty it got after just 2 years…so, I think that will be moved up to a yearly thing…makes it much easier to stay on top of it than to let it get ugly…not much to do today…just need to get the rides in and then I can just wing it for the day….more later….
The house is done…finally…
Well…after getting the rides in this morning, I decided to clean the remaining half house of siding and that only took about 2 hours even though I wasn’t working that hard at it since I’m getting old…it does look pretty good so maybe I’ll do that every year…the first time I did it it seemed like a lot more work than this time…and it’s been warm enough that it didn’t matter that I got soaked while I was doing it…I did get the laundry done today since I ran out of clothes to wear and I washed the new t-shirts for the first time and they look like they came through the laundry okay…I did find and buy a new pair of shoes for the Italy trip and only spent 29 bucks on them…very lightweight and they have memory foam insoles that felt pretty good when I put them on and walked around the house…and they are pretty stylish…black with brown accents and white soles that they call casual dress shoes…why, I don’t know but for the price they can call them whatever they want…and they have actual laces that you can tighten or loosen…not like a lot of the shoes I looked at where they are slip ins and the laces are just for show…that doesn’t work when you have two different size feet…I did kill off the hornet nest but had about 50 of them in the basement that were all dying with the poison I hit the nest with…going to fill the holes they were using with cement in a couple of days to make sure they don’t come back…okay…going to read a bit before I make a pork chop for dinner…
They don’t give a crap about the military…
Well…I’ve said this many times before that the repubs don’t give a crap about the military unless it’s for photo ops or sending them to war…and that is just what’s happening on the USS Abraham Lincoln as reports come out about the appalling conditions on that ship that the repubs don’t care about…how about the lack of food or water and the endless deployment? This ship has been part of the idiot trump’s war in the middle east starting with just sending them to be on station as a “show of force” and then into combat operations that has keep them at sea for 250 days when the normal deployment is 45-50 days and then the sailors are normally given some time in port to decompress since working 12-14 hours a day in a combat environment for so long has trashed morale on the ship to the point that two of the sailors have tried to jump overboard…and where the hell is the defense secretary? Still crowing and drinking as the drunk he is…he doesn’t give a damn about these sailors other than as tools for him to use to bluster and brag…none of the repubs care that these are people in one of the most high stress environments there is and to allow the ship to deteriorate to the point that it can’t support the needs of the sailors is a dereliction of duty by hegseth and trump to the point that hegseth should be fired and then brought up on military charges and put in jail…being a sailor is hard enough without the chain of command not giving a damn…geez…
August 13th
Well…running late this morning for some reason so this one is going to be short…didn’t sleep much again and I’m having a hell of a time getting moving…should be on the bike right now but I just poured the first cup of coffee and I need to have at least one in me before I head out…going to work on the siding again today since it’s going to be cloudy out there so the beach is out…I did get the new shoes I ordered for the Italy trip and I like them…very light and with memory foam insoles so I guess we’ll see how they are as I use them to break them in before we go…and they are a little stylish…black with brown leather trim…just couldn’t see spending 60-70 bucks for skechers…pretty damn stiff and sore after the third day in a row of working on the siding and I may just as well keep the pain going today…okay, it’s 6 am and I need to get on the bike right now…more later…
Another day, more work…
Well…another day and more work done..got the east side of the house cleaned and found some hornets trying to make a nest in my siding…filled it with bug spray and plugged the hole and it looks like that was taken care of…there were lots of the hornets around while I was cleaning the siding but none of them got near me so no stings which I’m happy about…it was a really busy morning with the rides, grocery run, and hitting the bank to order some checks and put the order in for the euros I need for the Italy trip…told my daughter I’d supply the cash for the things we need cash for and I’m still going to offer her a check for my end of the trip but we’ll see what she says…so now I only have the back and west side of the house to wash and I’m thinking I could do all that in one day but I really don’t need to push myself…the east side really does look pretty good washed as the front did the other day…I’m glad I decided to do it instead of waiting another year and letting the crud build up…so now it’s 6pm and I am done for the day…even finished the book I started yesterday and made a pork chop, mashed potatoes, and corn for dinner since I know I haven’t been eating enough with my legs going flat on the bike this morning…was out before 6am and man, was it dark…had to ride through town to the post office which was okay with the street lights but once on the trail I couldn’t see anything until the sun started to come up about 45 minutes later…I’m done…
It’s even worse…
Well…there is new reporting on the chickenshit trump and his cowardly sneaking out of Turkey a few weeks back and it’s even worse than the initial stories…and the whole thing is full of lies and putting his staff and the media in danger with no thought of their safety, only his own…this is the right’s big he-man? So, the latest reporting details the coward in chief hiding in a food container and switching planes and to fake that he was always on AF1…going so far as to have the secret service hide him and then play acting that he did ride on AF1…and the sick part of this whole sordid affair is that he used his staff and the traveling media as decoys when he knew that there was a threat to him and sent them away on AF1 while he cowered and hid on another plane…is there any bottom to the craven cowardice that this asshole shows every day? It doesn’t appear so…when you use 100 human beings as protection for your decrepit carcass without a care about them it just shows that idiot boy is truly a psychopath that has no business squatting in the WH…I sure hope this gets investigated when we take the house this fall so the whole world knows what a craven coward idiot boy is and has been his entire life…what a poor excuse for a human being…geez…
August 12th
Well…good sleep, bad sleep…that’s the alternating crap that’s going on right now and it’s such a pain…oh, well…man, it’s humid here right now and it looks like it’s going to stay that way all day…didn’t get below 72 last night and we’re heading into a couple of days of heat with Friday getting to almost 90 so that may be a beach day…the damn rain that looked like it was here yesterday didn’t happen and there is nothing in the forecast for the next 10 days…ick…going to be a busy one today with riding over to the post office to drop off my car insurance payment…yow…it’s not much more than last year but it still hurts having full coverage…and I’m doing that in the dark this morning…then the grocery run and over to the bank to order checks and euros for the trip then back here to decide if I continue to wash the house or try the beach…running out of time to swim and I’d like to get at least one more in before summer is over…and I really do need to find a couple of pair of new shorts since it’s going to be hot in Italy when we’re there…more later…
Got more work done…
Well…could this be a trend? Got more work done today after I did the bike rides, picked up a prescription, hit aldis for some cukes to make more pickles, and then over to depot to pick up an extension pole for my scrub brush and I found a really cool expanding one that goes from 4 feet to 8 feet and makes it so damn easy to have exactly the length of pole I need…didn’t even know things like that existed and it will work great when I start back to painting here…and it made cleaning the siding so much easier since I didn’t have to move the ladder nearly as much as before…so two days in a row I got work done and even had enough time to read a bit…but tomorrow I may just do the grocery run and go to the beach to try to get one more swim in this summer…if the weather is crappy, though, I’ll be back out there doing the east side of the house after doing the front porch today…it does feel good to accomplish things and the house just looks so much better clean…so now back to reading for a bit…
Chickenshit trump…
Well…it was revealed yesterday that there was a threat against the idiot trump when he was in Turkey guess what the big, tough guy did…the most protected person in the world hid in a food service container until they could sneak him out of the country, leaving both AF1’s behind…now, we know idiot boy is a chickenshit after fraudulently getting 5 deferments to stay out of Vietnam, but could you imagine Obama hiding in a food service container? No, I can’t either…or Joe Biden for that matter…those two would have said bring it on and got on with their normal trip…but not idiot boy…he plays a tough guy on tv but when it comes to real life he is just a chickenshit chickenhawk who is scared of his own shadow and only talks a good game…damn, how terrible must it be to be scared of everything? Now he is blaming it on the secret service but they work for him and he could have told them he wanted to just get on with it…but he didn’t…he cowered in the container with lunch and embarrassed the US yet again…geez…
