Well…as I was siting here on my butt just reading, it hit me that it’s been a week since I did the cement repairs and that it should be cured enough to paint…so I went down and got the first coat of Zinsser’s peel stop paint on it and I’ll let that dry for a couple of days before put the second coat on it…only used about a third of the quart that I bought so I’ll easily get one more and maybe two more coats from it…I have a few more places that need to be repaired and painted so I’ll probably buy another quart soon and get started on that…I do want to paint the bike room and continue the grey with white trim as I’ve done up here…I guess we’ll see if it works or not…didn’t get much else done today other than the normal stuff and some reading…man, it’s been raining hard out here since I gut up at 5am this morning and we are supposed to get 2 inches of rain today and another inch a day Friday and Saturday…it’s pounding against the siding and we even had some thunder roll though and I can figure that out with it only 35 degrees out here…at least it’s not snow…more reading…
Trying to bully the SC…
Well…the idiot trump went to the SC yesterday to try to bully them into saying that the 14th amendment that grants citizenship to anyone born here doesn’t say that…and in the entire history of this country, not one president did this stupid thing…and when the justices telegraphed that they were not going to rule for him, idiot boy stomped out of the courtroom before the defense even got it’s chance to speak…just as always this idiot thought that all he had to do to tear up the constitution is put his signature on a piece of paper and it would be the law of the land…but that’s not how this works…and now idiot boy is threatening to pull out of NATO since none of the countries in it support his stupid war in Iran…the only way we can leave NATO is with a 2/3rd’s vote in the senate since it is a treaty and those are the rules for treaties…so, again, this ignorant asshole is still just blundering around like a blind baby as his approval polls show that 65% of the country do not approve of anything and that is the highest of any president in history…keep talking idiot…there is nowhere to go but down…geez…
April 2nd
Well…up and moving a little after 5…again…but today is going to be an easy one with the rain keeping me off the outdoor bike so all I have to do is the weight work and one indoor ride and that means I’ll be done before 8:30 or so…didn’t eat much yesterday but 2 pieces of pizza but I’m having a bagel to get the day started today…but not for a while…need to drown myself in coffee first or I just won’t get started…going to have to get off my butt and get the lawnmower fixed so I can start on the yard work soon but I think I can put that off for a few days…and just live for a while…not sure what I’m going to cook today but it will probably be just heating up some leftover pizza…don’t really feel like making mashed potatoes to go with the ham so that will wait til tomorrow…not much to do today…just going to get the normal stuff done and then clean a bit…it’s raining and almost cold enough for it to be snow and that sucks on April 2nd…more later…
Moon launch at 6:24 today…
Well…I almost forgot about the Artemis II moon launch today where they are sending 4 astronauts for a loop around the back of the moon and then back here…the flight is supposed to last until the 9th and it will be so cool to see a rocket launch that has nothing to do with ole elon…didn’t get much done today but the exercise but no outdoor ride since it’s still just a bit above 40 here and I’m not going to be that cold anymore…supposed to start raining later tonight and rain all day tomorrow and tomorrow night with some storms thrown in…so it will be indoor rides for the next few days…I did get another BAH at Meijers this morning and I picked up a 10 pound bag of potatoes at aldis for only 2.79 so I’m good on them for a while…used my next to last frozen pizza today so that means it will be a one meal day for me…didn’t even have a bagel for lunch so I can make a snack later…okay, back to reading…
Idiot boy keeps on losing…
Well…in a ruling yesterday a Bush appointed judge just called a halt to idiot boy’s tacky ballroom saying that it is permanently stopped unless congress approves it…and the judge went on to tell the moron in chief that he doesn’t own the WH or the property he is trying to build on…it belongs to the people of the US and he is enjoined from making any other changes to the complex unless he follows the law…and that goes along with another ruling from a judge yesterday that said he can’t end funding for PBS or NPR as he did with an executive order…so now they have to be funded to the level that they were before he was elected…this goes with another loss when he tried to end mail in voting the same way and a judge told him the executive branch has no role in elections since they are run by the states and that makes this EO worth the toilet paper it written on…so much losing and so many grounds for impeachment next January…geez…
April 1st
Well… up and out of bed by 5:27 this morning and that followed waking up at 3 or so…and that’s wearing me out. ..the weather is going to suck for spring and we’re not going to get to 60 until late April and that’s just not right…so I won’t be out on the bike in shorts again until May…ick…didn’t get a thing done yesterday but I need to get moving now since I’m doing the grocery run this morning and need to get the weight work done and a ride in downstairs before that…and then I need to plan on some cleaning…still have 2 books to read out of this set so it looks like I won’t be hitting the library til Friday or maybe I’ll wait til Monday to give me time to do other stuff…got the laundry done yesterday so maybe I’ll paint the patches downstairs today and see if the paint really works…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get moving right now and I’m tired of that every day…more later….
2 storms…
Well…the second storm of the day is rolling through here and the lights just blinked and I don’t like that one bit…at least it’s still over 50 and the furnace hasn’t been on all day for the first time this year…I did get out on the outdoor bike in shorts today but it really wasn’t pleasant when I forgot that the temp is 10 degrees colder out at the lake…so I cut the water stop short and got to the north side of the dunes where it was warmer…the detour route isn’t bad but going the wrong way through the tunnel of trees is a little weird…my legs held up a lot better with just a little stiffness but my right thumb has been howling all day so I’ll hit it with some voltaren soon…can’t pass up protein at 85 cents a pound so I’ll be getting another ham tomorrow since the pork shoulder is no longer on sale…darn…and that means I only have to make mashed potatoes again and I’ll be eating for another week…okay, want to finish the book I’ve got going…
They need to remember this…
Well…with all of the criminal behavior that is going on with the idiot trump’s minions, something they need to remember is that the SC granted immunity only to the president…so every grift and crime will be dealt with when we take back the government in ’28…and when we do, every damn one of these assholes will be prosecuted and you can be damn sure that no dem president is going to pardon one of them…and even the NYT had an article that highlighted idiot boy’s abuse of the pardon power…I mean the ex president of Honduras who imported over 300 tons of drugs into the US…or all 1,500 of the traitors who attacked the capital on January 6th? This asshole has torn down every guardrail there was and we are going to have to rebuild them with concrete so they can never be torn down again…geez…
March 31st
Well…another month ends and I don’t know how I feel about it…it sure feels like time passing has a finite edge to it as I get older and there is an end that I can see coming…didn’t drag my butt out of bed til 6 or so this morning and I feel like I’m running behind as I always do…the weather forecast has changed from the 6 inches of snow that was supposed to come Thursday to an inch of rain instead and I’m okay with that…it would be warm enough to get out on the bike right now but it is going to be raining for a few hours so I guess I’ll do an indoor ride to start the day and maybe get outside after lunch…need to check on the cement patches I did downstairs to see if they are dry enough to paint…would like to get that done today…Meijers has pork shoulder on sale for 1.49 a pound and I am going to get one of those tomorrow if they have them…but they haven’t been following their ad prices lately and will either not have them or have a higher price and that sucks…I guess I can buy another ham at 85 cents a pound if they don’t….more later…
First 25 mile day…
Well…finally, I got two rides in outdoors today for the first 25 mile day…I think I’ll be paying for it tomorrow but that’s okay…and it was the first day this year I didn’t ride the indoor bike and I was done with them before 10am…not too cold out there but it was still in the 40’s and I know how to dress for that…I measured the new detour route and with riding the tunnel of trees both ways, the new route is the same 12.5 miles as the old one so that is cool…I did see a duck perching on the railing of the boardwalk and I’ve never seen that before…usually the ducks stay on the other side of the dunes in Muskegon Lake where their food supply is…weird…okay, back to reading..
