Well…after the capture of Maduro in Venezuela, the idiot trump and his minions thought that attacking Iran would be just as easy…and that was probably the biggest miscalculation in history…and what’s not being reported in the mainstream media is how much damage has been done to US bases in the middle east…of the 13 bases the US uses, more than half of them are now uninhabitable due to attacks by Iran and this damage hasn’t entered into the calculation of the cost of this stupid war and the damage runs into the hundreds of billions of dollars…and Iran still has thousands of the drones that are being used in the attacks and has the ability to build thousands more…it appears that no one in the WH even studied how Ukraine is using cheap drones to pummel Russia and that is the model that Iran is using…and guess what? The oil money that came from the idiot trump loosening sanctions on Russia is being used to supply Iran with drones and drone parts so essentially idiot boy is funding the war against us…how the hell does that make sense? This is just another example how stupid it was to go to war with no pre-planning at all…and now all of us are paying the price for his stupidity…geez…
March 27th
Well…that was a little better…up at 5am for the first time but was able to stay in bed til almost 6 and I feel okay…the gout is abating after pouring so much water down me the past few days and I need to keep that up…drank about 13 quarts of water yesterday and have the first one in this morning…but I still need the coffee to work soon so I can get the day started…no outdoor ride today since it’s only 28 and it’s going to barely make 30 today and I’m not going out in the cold…we did get some rain yesterday and I hope it will green up my lawn with the food I put on it Wed…looks pretty crappy right now and it looks like I’ll need to spend a lot of money on seed this year…since I got everything done yesterday including the laundry, today is going to be and easy one and I should be done with everything by 8:30am…I am going to get started on the spalling blocks in the basement today and get the first coat of the special paint on….started to think of buying one last bike yesterday since I’ve used up all of the ones I have…the grey bike that I’m riding now has over 60,000 miles on it and it’s just wearing out…so 7-800 dollars to keep me riding til I’m 80 seems like a pretty good deal…more later….
Still hurt…
Well…going to have to take an ibuprofen again today since my legs still hurt like crazy and they are stiff and not much better then when I first hurt them…and I didn’t help that at all with doing an extra long outdoor ride today looking for a new way to ride out to the beach since they are closing lakeshore drive and the trail up to the beach for repaving that is going to last a few months…but I did find a way through that I can drive and ride and I’ll be getting to the beach from the south instead of the north but that’s okay…I’ve lived here for 5 years and didn’t know you could get through this way…I did have errands to run today to drop off my ballot and pay the water bill…and I hit aldis to get a bunch of asparagus that the other store didn’t have…so it will be ham, mashed potatoes, and roasted asparagus with olive oil and dried onions for the big meal today…probably should skip dinner after having two pieces of pizza for lunch and that is about 700 calories…have been pouring water down the past two days with my damn gout hurting when I walk or even put my shoes on…back to reading…
Poor Zuck…
Well…it hasn’t been a good week for mark zuckerberg since he lost two lawsuits totaling almost 400 million dollars…and both suits brought up the fact that zuck and his creeps at Meta have been targeting children to get them hooked on their platforms so they’ll have their eyes for life…geez…that sounds just like what the tobacco companies did in the 50’s and 60’s and what drug dealers still do…hook them before they have the tools necessary to defend themselves…and internal communication shows that this really was how they saw their future and they didn’t give a damn about the damage they have done and are still doing…and now Europe and the UK are getting into the act since they have stronger laws that protect children and it could even turn into a criminal case and some of these assholes could end up in jail…and none too soon…geez
March 26th
Well…out of bed at the ungodly hour of 5 am again today and I am still curious why I can’t take a nap with only getting a few hours of sleep…still pretty sore but I think I’m getting my dehydration problem fixed since my right big toe doesn’t hurt as much as it did yesterday…need to run an errand this morning to drop my ballot off and pay the water bill…it’s going to rain this aft and that will work out good with getting the food on the lawn yesterday but I’m not sure if that is going to help since the lack of rain last year has left it patchy and ugly…but I refuse to spend 100 bucks a month to water it…they are closing down the street out to the beach for the summer to resurface it and I hope I can still get through on the sidewalk for my rides but I guess I should start looking for an alternate route…crap…going to finally start using the ham in an actual meal with mashed potatoes and corn today or maybe I’ll wait til tomorrow since I still have leftover pizza for the big meal today…more later…
Got a few things done…
Well…after the stress from yesterday, I was going to take an easy one today but it didn’t work out that way…after the indoor exercise, I suited up to go out in the cold and put the food on what is left of my lawn…then it had warmed to 45 by 10am so I got right on the outdoor bike to get another 13 miles in even though my hamstrings were stiff and hurting and they still are…can’t figure that out but we’ll see how they feel tomorrow…I forgot to report last week that we had “first boat day” with one in the condo marina and that is way earlier than normal…have never seen a boat in in March since I’ve lived out here…I did see the first turkeys of the year today but just two of them and not a big flock like last year…would like to see Stupid again since he made me laugh so much last year…okay, time for reading…again..
This is how you fight a war?
Well…with the taco in chief floundering around in Iran because he and his advisors are too stupid to fight a war, here’s another head shaker that is not getting enough reporting…idiot boy has now lifted sanctions on Iran during a war to allow them to sell 14 billion dollars from it’s supply…yeah, I’m just shaking my head abut that one…imagine if idiot boy had been in charge during WWII…he would be selling oil to Hitler and buying aircraft from Heinkel…this just has to be the dumbest thing he has ever done and that follows up with lifting sanctions on Russia to allow them to sell their oil, too…okay, cancelling wind and solar projects during and oil war is pretty stupid, too…imagine if we got 80% of our power from renewables…we could finally tell OPEC to go to hell and we wouldn’t need any middle eastern oil…but he is so stupid that he still believes that wind turbines cause “windmill cancer” and has a pure hatred for renewables that was shown last week when he paid a French company a billion dollars to stop a wind project that was halfway done…man, this guy is stupid…geez…
March 25th
Well…another day of waking up at 3 and then out of bed before 5:30 and I am damn tired…need to get my butt in gear since I have yard work to do today…need to get my first feeding of the lawn done to take advantage fo the rain that is coming in tomorrow…going to try to get an outdoor ride in this afternoon even though my legs still hurt like crazy but I’ve never let that stop me before…it’s going to be a low key, easy day today after getting the trip sorted yesterday and I am looking forward to that…might do a ham meal today with mashed potatoes and gravy but that seems to be too much work right now so I may wait til tomorrow…tried my my new cleaver last night and it is pretty damn sharp but I’ll have to get used to it…should be great to chop veggies with but I’m not sure what the next time is I’ll do that…we’ll see…need to get moving to get the weight work and indoor ride in to set me up for the day…more later…
Lots done today…
Well…after doing the grocery/Menards run this morning and picking up a big ham for 85 cents a pound, and then getting more books at the library, I came back here hoping to take it easy but the day turned into trip work and now we have our flights booked, travel insurance purchased, and all the paperwork to get us to Italy and back…and now I can take it easy tonight…it looks like the trip is going to cost more than I expected with the run up of jet fuel prices that made our flights cost about 25% more than planned…ick…oh,well…I did pick up the lawn food to put on the lawn tomorrow before the rains come Thursday and a new outdoor faucet shut off valve since the old one wore out and was leaking…I did get my new Chinese cleaver today and it looks pretty nice with a rosewood handle and etchings on the blade…since I only had one meal today, I am going to use it to cut up some ham for a snack later…and I got the quart of special paint that should stick to the spalling blocks downstairs and now I have to wire brush it to get the loose paint off before I try it…didn’t want to spend 50 bucks on a gallon of it if it doesn’t work…okay, time to start tonight’s tv watching…
Gas over 4 bucks gallon…
Well…as I said last week, the price of gas was going to go over 4 bucks a gallon and today it did…4.19 a gallon out here and it’s all because of the idiot trump…and inflation is going to be reported at 2.4% for the past month and that is over 24% on a yearly basis…and these stupid maga voters voted idiot boy in because trump lied that he was going to bring down prices…gas under Biden was under 3 bucks a gallon and diesel was a little over 3 bucks but it now sits at 5.50 a gallon and that is soon going to result in higher prices for anything that travels by truck…here in Muskegon, gas was 2.65 a month ago if you can remember that far back…and the global economy is about to crash because of two guys that don’t have a frickin clue started this stupid war…I’m tired of having morons ruining my life with their bullshit…geez…
