Well…as the lunatic in chief gave a speech the other day amid the widespread ridicule of everything about him…his failures everywhere and even his sparsely attended rally that he claimed had “40,000 people” when videos showed the few people there bailing on his screed of a speech halfway though…and his reaction at a far right religious group was to threaten the US that we need to “respect him or else” there will be consequences…and the overwhelming response across the country was respect him for what? For being the most corrupt “president” in history? For destroying the economy? For destroying the US’s standing in the world? The response from everyone but his cult was that respect is earned…it’s not something you can demand like the tin pot dictator he wants to be and is…the idiot’s mental state is quickly deteriorating as his failures pierce his armor of ignorance and it can’t come too soon…geez…
June 28th
Well…I think I’m going to just consider getting up at 5:14 the new normal so I don’t have to think about it anymore…we just had a heat watch issued for here for the next few days when it’s going to be close to 90 but I’m ready for it…have all the windows but 2 done so I’ll be able to ventilate this place…and I am going to try to get to the beach Tuesday so I can say I was out there in June…there were lots of people out there yesterday and even one person in the water so I’ll dip my toes in just to see how cold the water is…just got a notice on the widget that pollen is extremely high today and I think it’s the start of goldenrod and ragweed season and I’ll be miserable for the next couple of months…ick…I do feel okay this morning and I’m back to the coffee again…I wonder how bad 12 cups of coffee is for you? It appears I’m heading for that again today if I fill my contigo for the 2nd ride but that is going to wait until I get back here and watch the F1 race at 8 but it will be on later so I may just get the rides done and then find it to watch later…really hate sitting around when I have things to do…I do have a small weed walk to to do today and need to clean the animal water container and refill it…need to get prepping for the first ride and get all of the pain treated before I head out…and I need a bagel, too so I need to get going….more later…
An odd day…
Well…is there ever too much coffee? Yeah, today I found out the question to that is yes…had a whole pot of 12 cups over the day today and I still feel pretty wired at 3:25 in the afternoon…I even made a 2nd pot but thought better of trying it after feeling a little strange…haven’t had that much coffee ever, I think, and I’ll try to not do that again…the day started out okay with dragging my butt out and getting on the bike by 6:30 am but then remembered it was the Seaway run today with 3-4,000 people running along my trails but I made it back here before the runners got to the return leg but then had to wait to go out for ride 2 until 11am when the races were over…after I got back at noon or so, I had lunch and then started back in on the widows and got 4 of them done today so that leaves me only 2 to do and I may do that tomorrow…or maybe not…it’s supposed to rain and since I have to go outdoors to do one of them I sure don’t want to get wet…I even got a little time to read…it is nice to have clean windows that I have open for a nice breeze blowing through…I really do need some time off after going all day…going to be sore tomorrow but will get back to normal and I’m looking forward to that..more reading…
Here’s the loser one…
Okay…here’s the one I was going to do about the loser trump losing even more in court…as he tried to punish Minnesota governor Tim Walz for not cooperating with trump’s thugs by using a corrupt grand jury to force him to supply basically all info on everything…a judge said no and threw it out…the idiot trump and his corrupt justice department is 0-9 when trying to force states to turn over all of their voter information and Maryland is the latest to say hell no…a judge has just blocked idiot boy’s executive order trying to take over elections when there is no role of the executive in elections in the constitution…Ohio governor Mike Dewine just vetoed a bill that would restrict mail in voting that was pushed by trump and his trumper minions…not a loss in court but just as good…a judge just blocked idiot boy’s ICE thugs from arresting people in courthouses who are trying to follow the law…a federal judge just blocked the idiot’s new restrictions on student loans that has been idiot boy’s obsession…and here’s a biggie…a judge just issued a ruling forcing the DOJ to release more of the epstein files by July 2nd…something that the entire corrupt justice department has been delaying to protect trump…and finally, a judge has blocked idiot boy’s DOJ from getting the records of transgender individuals who were treated in NYC hospitals…and I still can’t understand why these asshole are so focused on transgender care…whey the hell can’t they just leave people alone to live their lives? At least the loser is still losing and that will continue until we take the house and senate back this fall and the real consequences begin…geez…
The loser keeps losing in court…
Well…I’ll get to that in a minute but first I just wanted to add this laugh about kushner and ivanka’s attempt to take over an island in Bulgaria to turn it into a rich people’s plaything as they displace the people who live there…it started with protests across the country where millions of people showed up to protest their government’s giveaway to these assholes and now has escalated to the people actually attacking the construction site and tumbling equipment and supplies down off the mountain they have started to level…good on ya, Bulgarian people…it’s about time these assholes are shown the people won’t let them steal their country due to sweetheart deals with the corrupt government…okay…this made one of it’s own so I’ll get to losing in court in the next one…
June 27th
Well…damn, already running to get my day started at 6am so I can get on the bike by 6:30 and I really do need to take the time to have a bagel before I go to stave off the flat legs I had yesterday and I may even go back to having the weekend rides be easier with no sprints until they recover…but I guess we’ll see how that works out…I did sleep okay…for me…and didn’t get out of bed til 5:39 and at least that’s not 4:39 so I’ll take it…not as sore as I have been for a few days but I’m still going to treat my thighs and thumb with some lidocaine lotion to prevent them from howling later…yeah, it’s a bitch getting old and trying to keep this old body moving…I do feel good I got some windows done yesterday and just need to do the living room two today and I’ll be ready for the heat that is coming…for the first time since I’ve lived here I haven’t been to the beach before July but maybe I’ll try to go Tuesday after I get my blood drawn for the July 7th doctor’s appointment where I’ll find out of giving up drinking has helped my health at all…I know I feel better most of the time so I think that’s really enough to keep it up…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get going…not sure how one cup of coffee is going to fuel the rides today but I guess I’ll find out…more later…
Still frickin exhausted…
Well…I really don’t know what is going on but I’m still exhausted and have felt this way all day…I wonder if it’s allergies this time? They have been mowing grass everywhere including the 124 acres of the old paper plant and basically along the entire trail…and now I have goldenrod and ragweed that has started to bloom…but I really don’t know if that’s it…I did have enough energy to clean 3 more windows today so now I’ll have ventilation in every room after I do the living room windows tomorrow..but I’ll have to get a ladder out for one living room and one dining room window since they won’t fold in without coming apart…so maybe 4 more tomorrow to finish them off? Not if I feel like this…okay, going to stop whining about that now…at least I got two rides in and the weight work today but my legs were flat and stiff and that normally means I need an easy day to rest them a bit…but we’ll see how I feel tomorrow…okay, need to read a bit since I haven’t had much time for that today…Mandolorian for a movie tonight…
These are the people he appoints…
Well…it’s normal for the idiot trump to appoint unqualified people to run the government since he doesn’t care if the government works or not unless he can make a profit from it…but this guy that he appointed to head up a department in FEMA is just frickin nuts…in interviews this nut did before he was appointed, he claimed that he had, multiple times, teleported to a Waffle House that was “no fun” according to gregg phillips, the nut interviewed…and not only this, he went on and on that he wanted to punch Joe Biden..and the thing that got him appointed was his whole hearted embrace of election fraud and started the lie that non citizen voting was rampant across the country when there has been 8 times out of 300 million votes…so this guy is just delusional but I guess that means he fits in with idiot boy and the rest of the delusional folks the idiot has appointed…and now he’s been fired and the only reason is id “didn’t look good” that he was still spouting off about teleporting…anything else id okay but I guess this was one delusion too far…geez…
June 26th
Well…darn, it appears that the depression I haven’t seen in over a year is back and I don’t like it one bit…have been feeling off the past couple of weeks and it feels like I’m just enduring my life again…I know it will go away at some point but right now it’s a bit of a struggle…I did get some stuff done yesterday but I didn’t get any windows cleaned and I need to do that with the hot temps that are coming next week…going to be in the mid to upper 80’s all week so I will be going to the beach at some point…I’m starting to get really tired of having to get going so early every morning…I mean it’s 5:44 and I still need to get the weight work in before I get on the bike by 6:30…and then beat the hell out of myself on the bike or 2 1/2 hours…I just want to lie down on the couch and read but I still feel that I have to earn it by doing the rides and cleaning…still have leftover pork shoulder for the next couple of days so at least I don’t have to cook today but I do need to plan something for the weekend and get the chicken out of the freezer…okay, need to get off my butt and get going…more later…
Got some cleaning done…
Well…not sure if it was planned or not but I got some work done today…cleaned the microwave and stove and then straightened up downstairs where the gas line comes in since DTE are coming to replace the meter on the 21st of July…stalled them as long as I could bu they sent some bullshit that they have to inspect and replace the meter due to some state law and I don’t believe a word of it…my meter does look pretty beat up so I guess it would be nice to have a new one…then they want to check for gas leaks, etc. oh, well…I did get two nice rides in today and finished up the first book and started the 2nd one…my thief proof bag showed up and it’s pretty cool and hangs across my chest so no thieves can get to it…and it has ballistic fabric straps that are almost impossible to cut…the locks I bought for my luggage came too and they are nice little locks and each one came with two keys and all of the keys fit all of the locks so I’ll stash some in the unlockable part of my carryon so I will have enough…okay, want to read a bit before tv…
