Well…just had a thunderstorm roll through here with tons of rain and that was a little weird since it’s only 46 here today…and we’re supposed to get an inch of rain today…I did get an outdoor ride in for the 3rd day in a row of 21 miles a day…felt good again to get out but today I had my rain gear on since there was a heavy mist happening the entire ride…supposed to rain again tomorrow so I’m not sure if I’ll get outside on the bike…getting close to 1,000 miles for the year that I should hit next week but I need to pick up the pace if I’m going to get to 8,000 miles this year…I’m enjoying my discovery of Clive Cussler and his books so I’ll have reading material for weeks and the wandering around the library worked pretty well Wed…okay back to reading…
Noem is gone…what about the 230 million?
Well…kristi noem is out at DHS for the mortal sin of trying to throw the idiot trump under the bus for approving a 230 million dollar grift…and this is just a case of noem trying to loot the federal government of the money by giving it to a firm that didn’t even exist 2 weeks ago…and who she has connections to…and who in hell spends 230 million dollars on commercials with her in them? I can’t wait til we take back the house and fire up an investigation into all of her corruption…oh, and her ICE thugs have murdered more than 50 people in the last year so let’s toss that into the investigation pot…geez…
Best economy in history?
Well…just last week the idiot trump crowed and lied that the US under him has “the best economy in history” so lets take a look at that…February’s jobs numbers came out today and they showed that the economy LOST 96,000 jobs last month and the number from January and December were revised so that the economy has lost jobs for 5 of the past 9 months…so no jobs at all have been added under the idiot trump…with the idiot’s stupid war on Iran, gas prices went up 11% Tuesday and market analysts are predicting oil prices are going to hit 150 dollars a barrel and that will mean gas of over 4 bucks a gallon…is that the best? With all of this happening, investors in the stock market are spooked and the dow has lost 1,700 points this week and we are looking at correction territory if this keeps up for another week…and this takes away the talking point that idiot boy croaks about all the time…that the stock market set a record under him…and his terrible tariffs are to blame for no jobs being added and inflation surging to almost 4% from the 1.8% that was handed him by Biden…so, is this the “best economy”…not even close to being a poor economy and the worst is yet to come…geez…
March 6th
Well…up and out of bed at 5 am and I feel just damn worn out today…just poured the first cup of coffee and need to pour it into me to get going…we’re supposed to get an inch of rain today so I’ll need to get out on the bike before 10 so I can get an outdoor ride in before the rain comes in…but that means I need to get on the weight work by 6am…it’s going to be raining for the next few days so I’ll be riding indoors but I’m not sure if I’ll do 2 rides or one…I think I need an easy day but that won’t start til tomorrow if I do it at all…didn’t get much done yesterday but I need to eat more today after only a bagel and a turkey sandwich yesterday…and that was only about 800 calories for the day and I’ll be feeling that today…so, I’ll toast a bagel in a few minutes with the 2nd cup of coffee so I’ll have a little fuel for the rides…not much to do today…just need to grit my teeth and get going but that seems like a lot of work right now…more later…
Cold and wet….
Well…got another 21 miles in today but came away from it cold and wet since it was only 40 degrees when I went out and it started to rain about 3 miles out on the way back from Lake Michigan…so, it’s a heating pad day but I should get off my butt and do a load of laundry and I will after I get this done…starting a new author, Clive Cussler, right after the laundry and I am a little excited…I have run across him but never read anything of his until now…this batch of books has 3 new authors in it so I have expanded my group and added a bunch more books to read…was running out with the other authors I have been reading so I hope these will give me something to pass the time…time for laundry…
What a grift…
Well…has anyone else seen the Charlie Kirk ad where they are grifting by selling books that the idiot wrote…let’s be clear, in this ad they make kirk out to be a very religious nice person who lives his faith when he was not that person at all…he was a hate filled racist asshole who lived his life completely on the wingnut welfare circuit and spent his time demonizing anyone who was not straight and white and now his wife is lying in these ads that make him out to be a saint…I even have to change the channel whenever the ads come on…I wonder how these people can lie like this…oh, yeah…they’re repubs so that comes naturally to them…geez..
March 5th
Well…there just is something wrong with getting out of bed before 5am and pouring coffee down at 5:14…I am so damn tired that I may only do one indoor ride today…it’s not going to be warm enough to ride outdoors again today since the 42 degrees out there is the high for the day and it’s going to get colder soon…didn’t sleep well at all last night but that is the pattern since I decided no more sleep aids and I may have to rethink that…you would think that I’d be able to take a nap after no sleep but that isn’t happening either…oh, well…need to get on the weight work soon but I just want to sit here for a bit and think about meals…I could make another pizza today but don’t want that many calories…so maybe a bagel this morning and then a smoked turkey sandwich for lunch and no dinner today…that would keep me under 1K calories for the day and I need that…crap…already running late and need to get off my butt and get moving….more later…
Iran had agreed to US terms…
Well…if you didn’t think that the Iran debacle could get any worse, it’s now been reported that Iran had agreed to all of the terms that the US asked for…so then why the attacks? I think it’s still the idiot trump misusing our military illegally to take attention away from his rape of multiple underage girls that is coming out in the epstein files…so now he is using the military and the DOJ to try to protect himself from consequences of his actions…and I think there is another reason for the attacks…that he feels like a tough guy when the draft dodger sends our military to their deaths…and he just like killing people and getting away with it…and now gas prices are up almost 60 cents a gallon from his stupid war that goes right along with hiws stupid tariffs…and he still hasn’t given any reason why he attacked Iran other than his lies about the Iranian nuclear program…so the ball is in your court repubs…what the hell are you going to do about it?Geez…
I declare the trails open…
Well…you read that right…I was able to get out to Lake Michigan on the trails today and only had to walk the bike about 300 yards in 12.5 miles…and most of that was along the base of the bluff along Muskegon Lake that doesn’t get much sun…it’s never been open this early in the 5 years I’ve lived out here…all of the snow we had did nothing to raise the water level in Muskegon Lake but it doesn’t look worse either so I guess that’s something…the condo project looks like a ghost town with it going into receivership last fall and there was not one car or truck in any of the parking lots so it looks like the restaurant has closed after only being open a year…so it was a busy morning after the rides, grocery run, and washing the crud off the bike so I can lube it up tomorrow since it is going to be raining most of the day…it feels good to ride more than 20 miles in a day for the first time this year…time to read a bit..
March 4th
Well…I’m not sure how it happened but I’m back to getting out of bed at 5:14 again and that is way too damn early…I know it helps me get my day going but having my first cup of coffee before 5:30am seems a little weird to me…so I’ll be on the bike before 6am and I could even get two rides in before I head out to the grocery run but I’m not going to do that…want to get an outdoor ride in to take a look at the trails to see if they are passable…if they are, it will be the earliest in the 5 years I’ve lived out here…need to do some meal planning today but I am picking up some smoked turkey so there will be sandwiches for the next few days…need to get some food out of the freezer but I’m not sure what that will be yet…a little tired of pizza but I still have 4 in there so I’ll probably use one this weekend…it’s going to rain a ton over the next few days so the snow will all be gone but, with the 30’s that are coming, we could get more next week…ick…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and grocery runs…and maybe some cleaning…more later…
