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…
March 24th
Well…the normal pattern held again today and I was out of bed at wanted5:33 and the thought of sleeping in gets farther and farther away…my legs still hurt so I’ll take another ibuprofen for it in a minute but I want to get coffee down first…going to be a busy morning with the grocery run, a stop at menards and then to the library for more books on the way back here so I can get going around 8 or so…it’s only 23 degrees out there right now so I’ll have to let the car warm up a bit before I go…I did order some paint and a Chinese cleaver yesterday that will be here today…only got a quart of the paint since I’m not getting a gallon until I see if it works or not…and I’ve always wanted a new kind of knife to try…only 10 bucks so no big loss if I don’t like it…I did get started on some work around here and that will continue later…no outdoor bike ride today with the legs still healing but I’ll be out there tomorrow…more later…
Legs are a little better…
Well…man, after how stiff and painful my legs were yesterday, any improvement is welcome and I got a little of that today…still taking ibuprofen but I was able to go out and clean the yard up a bit and cut up the big branch that fell and put it out for pick up tomorrow…I sure love my recip saw I got from my brother…only took about 5 minutes to cut up a 12 foot long branch into pieces small enough to fit in the trash bin…then I put the rest of the trash out in the bin and will put that to the curb later…so the rest of the day will be finishing up the last book and maybe even starting on the cobwebs downstairs if I get done early enough…still darn cold here at 34 for a high but it starts to warm up a bit tomorrow…back to reading…
I don’t feel bad for them…
Well…another day, another story of stupid trump voters who “didn’t think he would come for my workers”…this time from the south Texas construction industry that has been decimated by ICE raids that has scooped up everyone who is not white and even those who are here legally…with one Hispanic company owner lamenting “they’ve raided my job sites 15 times in the last year”…and then he goes on to realize that the idiot trump lied to them when he said the only people who were targeted were going to be “criminals” but idiot boys definition of “criminal” is anyone who is not white…I really don’t feel bad for these people as bankruptcies spread and projects that took a year to complete under Biden now take 3 years…they made lots of money from undocumented labor and were not smart enough to know that idiot boy lies all the time…and that includes making things “more affordable” on day one…how’s that working out for you magas? Geez…
March 23rd
Well…up at 2:33 this morning but I was able to get back to sleep until 5:30 or so and it sucks that it looks like a win…my legs are a little better today and I still can’t figure out how I hurt them so badly just riding the bike…it’s going to be in the 30’s for a high today so I won’t even be attempting and outdoor ride today…not going to be cold anymore…I completely missed the first day of spring last Friday so I’ll say it now…happy spring! Sure doesn’t feel like spring or smell like it…I do need to get on cleaning up the yard soon but I think that will wait til Wed when it will be in the 50’s…but I should start cutting the branches up and pt them in the bin so I can put them out to the trash…have to figure out meals for the day today and it will probably be a burger or a chicken sandwich since I need to get stuff out of the freezer so I can put the ham bones in that I’m getting this week…not much to do today…need to finish up the last book so I can hit the library tomorrow after the grocery run but I know I need to stop reading so much and get on with other things around here…more later…
The coverup started way earlier…
Well…the way the news is reporting it, the trump coverup of the epstein files started when the law was passed that requires that the DOJ release all of the files…or I should say all of the remaining files since it was revealed today that the coverup started the day epstein died when agents for the trump DOJ started shredding files and there were bags and bags of giant sized garbage bags that were then just thrown in dumpsters…now the agents who did this should be charged with obstruction of justice but I guess we’ll have to wait for that until 2028 and we have a real president…I really can’t wait for the investigations to start in January of 2027 after we take the House and Senate back…geez…
