Well…damn, slept on my right eye last night and now it’s blurry and that sucks…and we’re supposed to get t-storms in a few minutes so I won’t be getting out on the bike til almost 10 this morning and I really don’t know how to just sit here and wait it out…but I guess I’ll have to…at least the F1 race is on at 8am so that will give me something to do…just poured the 1st cup of coffee and I really hope it works really, really soon…might even have to grind some beans for some pour over if the 7 leftover cups in the coffee maker is not enough…slept pretty crappy last night but that’s normal and I wish it weren’t…not as worn out as a few days ago but I can feel this is not going to be what I need to feel okay…just getting old, I guess…and I don’t like it much…the 24 hours of LeMans still has 4 hours to go and that is nice background noise to start the day…haven’t really watched much of it…I’d like it if they would show some of the GT cars instead of just the prototypes…made some hard boiled eggs yesterday and I hope the old ones I used are still good..will have to check that before I make egg salad for lunch…not much to do today…just going to wing it and dance around the rain this morning and hope I can get the rides done before noon…need to get on the weights…more later…
An easy day…
Well…it was a pretty easy day after getting the rides in this morning…didn’t even have to cook with using up the rest of the leftovers…and tomorrow is going to be egg day with making egg salad for sandwiches and then an omelet to use up the onions and green pepper…and I took out a chicken breast to bake that for a meal with a baked potato and some corn…and I’m going to continue to use the breaded chicken patties that I need to get out of the freezer so I may eat those until they’re gone later in the week…and that will open up room for other stuff if there is anything ever on sale again…I do need to make some more pickled onions and pickles tomorrow so I’ll have stuff for sandwiches…I even have 4 burgers left in the freezer from quite a while back that are still good so this week is all going to be freezer food…I did another day of eating more today as I did yesterday but I still ran out of steam around 2 again and have been struggling with being tired since…oh, well…now I want to read more and I think I will../.
The loser keeps losing…
Well…how small and petty does a person have to be when he has to cover up his humiliation with a tarp? That is exactly what happened yesterday when the deadline hit for removing the idiot trump’s name from the Kennedy center and MSNBC even had a live camera showing it…but the whiny baby trump ordered the workers to hang a tarp on the scaffolding so no one could see his embarrassment when it happened…and this morning it was revealed that trump and his cronies had stolen 17 million dollars from the national ballet who have sued him to get it back…you want more humiliation? Only 16% of the country thinks it’s appropriate to hold a cheesy UFC cage fight on the WH lawn and the same amount thinks idiot boy knows what the hell he’s doing with the economy…and let’s throw in a little bit more losing…when he inserted himself into the NBA finals in NYC, he was booed by the entire crowd and then he fell asleep supposedly watching the game that he didn’t give a damn about…and this is happening everywhere this idiot goes these days…and I’ll bet this asshole is fuming since he needs to have people cheer for him…those days are over…geez…
May 13th
Well…how the hell can I wake up and have my hands be numb? And my thumbs hurt? This getting old is just bullshit and I’m tired of it…at least the US won it’s first match in the world cup 4-1 and looked pretty good doing it but tests are coming…crap just got a high wind warning for 11am today so I need to get off my butt and get the rides in before 6:30 am…at least get them started before then so I need to drink coffee fast to get going in 18 minutes…there is rain coming in for this afternoon and it looks like it could be sooner than that so I need to get off my butt…it is going to be a good race day today with F1 qualifying on at 9:25 and the LeMans starting at 10…and there is a channel that is going to run all 24 hours of it so that will be good background noise for the day…going to have to cook tomorrow but I have no clue what that is going to be…have lots of chicken in the freezer so I’ll need to take some out later this morning so it will thaw by tomorrow…I can do omelets to use up the eggs and green pepper and even hard boil some eggs for egg salad so I guess that’s good enough…more later…
I was right…again…
Well…you know I’ve talking about the prices for everything going to soar in the next month and that has already started with the price of coffee…the Hills Bros whole beans I bought last week for 11 bucks for 2 lbs are now 27 dollars and it has nowhere to go but up from there…so, it looks like I’ll be back to the cheapest ground coffee I can find locally since the ground I bought on amazon went from 11 bucks for 35 ozs to 21 dollars for the same…and everything is going up with them…thanks maga assholes…
Feeling better…
Well…it’s been a better day today and I’m pretty sure it’s from eating more yesterday and I’m trying to do that again today…it is so nice to have the bike zeroed in and working almost like new and getting the miles in…I don’t want to jinx it but the assholes in the rental have been absent for more than a week after I called on them last Thursday but I think it may be the new neighbors weighing in on them, too…but whatever it is, this is how this neighborhood should be all the time without me having to call all the time…I did get out to the library today for more books but finding a road open to it was a pain with the event going on all weekend downtown…had to walk a block and a half carrying my bag of books but it was nice and sunny and I don’t mind walking at all…and then I went to Meijers just to drive my car with the top down since it is really getting to be fun…I did get my new driver’s license today and since I’m over 70, I have to go in to renew it every 4 years…and I think that’s age discrimination when there are so many younger bad drivers that don’t have to…and I haven’t even been pulled over since 1980…that should count for something…oh, well…not going to bitch too much…I have other things to bitch about…okay, world cup time…
Gutting the state department…
Well…there are so many stupid, stupid things that the idiot trump and his minions have done but I think the worst is going to be his gutting of the state department and firing everyone who is not “loyal” to him…it has gotten so bad that we don’t have ambassadors to any mideast country but Israel and we have given up all of the rising Africa to the Chinese who have seen the weakness of idiot boy and have moved in with programs that displace the same ones that the idiot has abandoned…influence that will never be regained since the idiot doesn’t care about those “shithole countries” that can’t or won’t bribe him…and this is going to lock American farmers out of hundreds of billions of dollars in sales across the world that is never coming back…and with his abandonment of Ukraine, he has unleashed the creativity and self sufficiency that is going to undercut American arms manufacturers across the globe…what the moron doesn’t understand is he started the move away from the US with his bullshit and now Ukraine has developed a substitute for the Patriot missile defense system that all of Europe is going to adopt in the near future…and with trump in charge the entire world understands that the US is no longer a reliable partner and are going around us and not even inviting the US to partner like they did with every other president other than the most stupid one in history…so as trump stumbles around in his ignorance, the world moves on without us…as they should….geez…
No more judge shopping…
Well…the idiot trump loses another court case, this time in the SC who ruled 9-0 that the idiot trump’s DOJ judge shopping is illegal and unconstitutional and all trials have to take place where the alleged offense occurred…up until this ruling, trump and his cronies would “judge shop” looking for a corrupt, trump appointed judge who would allow them to break the law as he went after his enemies…using compliant judges and courts in Texas and Florida to investigate “crimes” that happened in other parts of the country…like the case of a RI hospital who refused to give medical records of transgender individuals so the DOJ could persecute (not prosecute) those people for living their lives…so idiot boy’s DOJ filed the case in a lunatic maga judges court to allow them to break the law and using this corrupt judge as cover…yesterday the SC reminded the DOJ of a little thing called the Constitution that specifically prohibits these kinds of manipulation by them…I hope that the lawyers defending these people will file today to get the suits thrown out and force the DOJ to follow the law…man, what a loser…geez…
June 12th
Well…that was a little better…was up and down all night but didn’t get up til 5:30am and that has been a goal for a while so I’ll take it…feel a little better this morning after eating a lot yesterday so that may be why I’ve been so worn out lately…at least I hope so since that’s a thing I can fix…need to go out and hit the library this morning but I’m going to go lighter on the books since the World Cup started yesterday and I would really like to watch some of the matches and not just use them as background noise…and the US plays tonight at 9 so I’ll at least get to watch the 1st half before I collapse from boredom…I had to fix one of the 85 year old light switches in the stairwell down to the basement yesterday…it had started to arc with wear on the contacts so I had to take a screwdriver and bend them so they’d make better contact and it’s working great now…still think these old ceramic switches are a work of art and don’t want to replace them if I can keep them working…it rained again last night and it was a nice little thunderstorm that lasted a couple of hours…nothing big but some cool lightning and thunder and it may even rain again this weekend…still not fixing my lawn but better than drought….not much to do today…need to get on the bike by 7am and that gives me and hour to have coffee, do the weight work, and toast a bagel so no rush today…more later…
Just damn exhausted…
Well…another day of being frickin exhausted and from what? All I did was my normal stuff today and I know that 26 miles is a long way for an old guy, that’s not what’s doing it…I really think the lack of sleep is catching up with me after another night of up and down for abut 3 hours of actual sleep…and I’ve been eating a lot today just to see if that has something to do with it, too….have just felt off for a few days now and everything is just so damn much effort that even just sitting here doing this takes everything I have in me…maybe I just need a day off? After all, I’ve been on the bike for 966 days straight and will make it to 1,000 before that streak ends when I go to Italy in September…okay, going to stop whining now…other than the exhaustion, it’s been a nice day with great weather for the rides and there was a new cruise ship docked down the hill to look at…and the bike is working great although I did break a left pedal this morning but I had new set on the bike shelf downstairs and it only took a couple of minutes to replace it…and I even remembered that left side pedals have left handed threads so I didn’t tighten it instead of loosening it…okay, have a half book to finish today so I can go to the library tomorrow and get more…
