Well…just read about the whole host of countries who have said they will arrest netenyahu for crimes against humanity and send him to the Hague for trial if he sets foot in their country…and now that includes Hungary and most other European nations and it’s about time…next do the idiot trump…both of these assholes are war criminals and should be tried for it and slapped in jail for the rest of their lives…I mean trump ordering a school with children in it attacked in Iran and where he killed 172 of them? That is a war crime as well as attacking boats in the Caribbean who he lies and says are running drugs when many of them were just people fishing for a living…Scotland now needs to join that club and arrest idiot boy when he tries to go to his stupid golf courses there…every damn one of these criminals including hegseth and rubio need to end up in the Hague and never let them have a minute of peace if they ever travel outside of the US again…geez…
August 9th
Well…I wonder if today is going to be that one ride day that I have been thinking of taking? I can get the first one in at 6am but then I want to see the motogp race that is on at 7:30 and it appears that there is rain coming in by 8am or so…yeah, I know, it doesn’t rain here but there is a 70% chance of it this afternoon…so maybe today is the day…so the 2nd ride may be at 9 or so when the race is over if I decide to do it…slept okay last night but still feel worn out today so I probably should have some toast at least before I head out on the bike…going to do the weight work here in a minute so I don’t forget to do it so I need to get moving since it’s already 5:30 and that give me a half hour to get everything done…not sure what the food for the day is going to be but probably eggs, toast and sausage for one and then I’ll just wing it for the 2nd…then I’ll plan something for this week…I am going to read the last book today and then start to do other things tomorrow…there are lots of little jobs that need to be done and I’ll start to take them one at a time…more later…
Gotta stop this…
Well…damn, I have got to stop having these easy days where I don’t get anything done after I get the rides in…and that will probably mean taking a break from the library and reading so much..I mean I’ve read 5 books this week and think about how much I could have accomplished if I had just gotten off my ass and got started…so, I have one more book to read and then I’ll start working around here instead…do want to wash some of the siding starting with the garage and then I need another extension handle so I can reach most of the house siding without having to stand on the top of the big ladder…I really feel pretty worn out after getting up at 4:41 this morning but I did take a 15 minute nap this afternoon…I know that’s not enough but sleep is not really part of my life anymore…I did get out on the bike in the dark again this morning and I kind of like it…don’t see that well in the dark and never have so bikes sneak up on me until it gets light…it looks cool with the lights on and being out on the trail almost by myself…okay, it’s still hot and pretty humid here so I just put the fan on and I’m going to watch the rest of the race…
Yes, they are pissed at you…
Well…the delusional asshole squatting in the WH just moved his delusions to a whole new level yesterday when he was asked about the rout that is coming in the mid terms…and his answer was “they’re mad at repubs but they’re not mad at me”…hey mr. delusion, yes, they are pissed at you and more than 65% of the country thinks your incompetent ass is the cause of everything wrong with the country…why else would you have a 30% approval rate and even 35% of magas think you’re a moron who has no clue what you’re doing…look, idiot boy has gotten everything he wanted already…money…from his time in the WH so he just doesn’t care if any repub gets elected again…he doesn’t need them anymore since he already stole everything he could…so, yes idiot…the people of the US do hate you and you will be impeached again once we win the house and senate back this fall…geez…
August 8th
Well…damn, up at 4:41 this morning and that is going to make today a survival test instead of just normal…or is getting up so early the new normal…all I know I didn’t sleep at all last night and I wonder if I should just skip trying so I’ll be so tired I’ll have to sleep…going to have to do something…going out in the dark on the bike again this morning since sunup is all the way back to 6:45 and that’s too late to get moving…it looks like another wasted day today with no motivation to do anything but the bike rides but maybe that will change later…still on leftover food but that runs out today and I’ll really need to plan some meals…I think I’ll make a pizza tomorrow since I have green pepper and pepperoni to use along with mozzerella and that will give me three days of meals…I do have eggs and breakfast sausages to make one meal for the next two days so I guess that’s taken care of…I was right about the rain in the forecast when it all fell apart before it got here just like every damn time…we are almost 10 inches under the average rainfall for the year so far and if this keeps up Muskegon is going to turn back into dunes again…oh, well…pretty warm and humid here right now and I’m already sweating just sitting here doing this…at least the AQI is around 70 this morning….more later…
Another easy day…
Well…had another easy day today with nothing but laundry getting done…okay, the bike rides, too….but that is a given and the baseline for a day…it is jut so cool to not have to worry about my laptop overheating anymore when I use it on the couch…have the fans running on a low speed that I can’t hear and it’s still cool to the touch…I still feel lazy with not getting another room cleaned today but the house looks okay so I can live with that…the AQI was over 100 this morning and I could small smoke again but I really didn’t have an effects from it when I was riding…but you could sure see the smoke, too mixed with the fog we had here…you couldn’t even see Lake Michigan at the end of the 2nd ride but that was kind of nice…it is supposed to rain…okay, yeah, that made me laugh, too since the Muskegon force field has worked the last two times rain has been in the forecast…even some of the condos along Muskegon Lake have stopped watering their lawns and they have turned as brown as my lawn…at least I won’t have to worry about mowing when I’m in Italy if this keeps up…okay, still have the weight work to do and need to get on that right now…
Bye, bye jobs…
Well…with the incompetent idiot in charge, and just like everything he touches dies…idiot boy has killed the job market in this country…the latest data released today showed that employers have CUT 23,000 jobs in July and the previous 2 months have been revised from even the anemic job additions to basically 0 jobs added…so we went from adding 2-300,000 jobs a month under Biden to this crap and it’s all trump’ fault from his stupid tariffs to his illegal war with Iran…and people are starting to realized that the repubs are terrible at policies that help add jobs since they don’t care at all about it…for the billionaires to get their tax cuts they are right on it…but anything else they can’t be bothered and they let an ignorant, economic illiterate call all the shots on the economy…now the repubs and idiot boy are underwater and less than 40% of the people think they know what they’re doing…and people are tired of this crap which I hope translates into crushing these assholes in November…geez…
I’m stealing this from Thom Hartmann…
Well…as expected, the repubs and the right win chattering class of pundits are freaking out that Abdul El-Sayed won the primary for senator from here in Michigan and the Marxism, communist bullshit is flying from them since they have nothing else…okay, I’m stealing a lot of this from Thom Hartmann over at Kos but he clarifies what this fall’s election is really about so well that I can’t do anything better than to paraphrase…so, here we go…this election is not about voting for Karl Marx or communism or anything the right is bleating about…it’s about getting back to where money is not hoarded by the billionaire class who have been stealing this country since reagan started the tax cutting nonsense that has been shown to only concentrate wealth and not create jobs or benefit anyone but the rich…we just want fairness and what every other industrial country has…they want no fear that if one person in a family gets sick, the family is decimated…evidenced by the fact that there were almost a million medical related bankruptcies here when there are none in any other country…how about an education system that is fully funded from kindergarten to college and that doesn’t put people into debt (to the tune of 2 trillion dollars) and everyone who can do the work is encouraged to engage in building the skills we need in this country…every other country does that…not here…they want a system where voting is easy and can’t be hijacked by billionaires and corporations buying elections…and finally they just want jobs that will pay enough for people to afford to buy a home and raise a family on one income…just like it used to back before reagan…so, you get the point..we are not looking for communism or marxism…we are looking for a country and government that helps people when they need it and is the referee that enforces fairness and makes the people worth just as much as corporations and billionaires…is that too much to ask? geez…
August 7th
Well…darn, not up until a little after 5 and I’m already behind for the day at 5:44 an I’m still not sure how that happens…yeah, I know, it’s just that I still feel like I have a schedule at this ripe old age but who knows how to stop that? I sure don’t but I guess I’ll just have to live with it…slept okay for me last night and I’m hoping that the coffee works soon but I’m only on the first half cup so I’m behind on that, too..didn’t have enough leftover coffee in the carafe so I just made another pot so I’ll have enough to take on the bike for the 2nd ride…the AQI is back to concerning levels again today at about 100 but that is not high enough for me to wear a mask out there…and the goldenrod is blooming so I’m going to be miserable for the next month or so…we need some rain to wash the pollen out of the air and may get some tonight and tomorrow…ha,ha…yeah, you know how I feel about rain in the forecast…going to clean the kitchen today and maybe my bedroom to get rid of the cobwebs and vacuum the rug in there…the bedding is due to be done so that may be a project for today, too…I did service the bike yesterday to lube the chain, cables, and swingarm but I do need to clean everything to get the gunk out of the chain that builds up over time…haven’t washed it in a while but I’ll probably wait til after I get it dirty again in the rain….more later…
Got some work done…
Well…got to the point today where I really needed to accomplish something or I’d rekindle my guilt that I’ve been suppressing lately…so I started out by servicing the bike after the two rides and running over to the city offices to pay my water bill…it cost me 10 bucks to water the lawn for 2 hours over 2 days and I really need it to rain so I don’t have to spend money on it…after I got the bike done and did a bit of reading, I got after cleaning the bathroom from top to bottom and even found some clr to remove the water residue build up that gets applied just by using the shower…lots of lime scale and other stuff that I finally got rid of…now the shower is shiny and smooth again…had that done by noon so after that I treated myself to some reading and finished off the latest “Reacher” book I got from the library…I do like the laptop fan/stand since even on the lowest setting…it moves plenty of air even with no rise of the keyboard…so a good purchase for 14 bucks…started to buy some clothes for Italy today with getting a pair of shorts for 17 bucks…hope they fit…okay back to Jeffrey Deaver…
