Well…the delusional asshole squatting in the WH just moved his delusions to a whole new level yesterday when he was asked about the rout that is coming in the mid terms…and his answer was “they’re mad at repubs but they’re not mad at me”…hey mr. delusion, yes, they are pissed at you and more than 65% of the country thinks your incompetent ass is the cause of everything wrong with the country…why else would you have a 30% approval rate and even 35% of magas think you’re a moron who has no clue what you’re doing…look, idiot boy has gotten everything he wanted already…money…from his time in the WH so he just doesn’t care if any repub gets elected again…he doesn’t need them anymore since he already stole everything he could…so, yes idiot…the people of the US do hate you and you will be impeached again once we win the house and senate back this fall…geez…
August 8th
Well…damn, up at 4:41 this morning and that is going to make today a survival test instead of just normal…or is getting up so early the new normal…all I know I didn’t sleep at all last night and I wonder if I should just skip trying so I’ll be so tired I’ll have to sleep…going to have to do something…going out in the dark on the bike again this morning since sunup is all the way back to 6:45 and that’s too late to get moving…it looks like another wasted day today with no motivation to do anything but the bike rides but maybe that will change later…still on leftover food but that runs out today and I’ll really need to plan some meals…I think I’ll make a pizza tomorrow since I have green pepper and pepperoni to use along with mozzerella and that will give me three days of meals…I do have eggs and breakfast sausages to make one meal for the next two days so I guess that’s taken care of…I was right about the rain in the forecast when it all fell apart before it got here just like every damn time…we are almost 10 inches under the average rainfall for the year so far and if this keeps up Muskegon is going to turn back into dunes again…oh, well…pretty warm and humid here right now and I’m already sweating just sitting here doing this…at least the AQI is around 70 this morning….more later…
Another easy day…
Well…had another easy day today with nothing but laundry getting done…okay, the bike rides, too….but that is a given and the baseline for a day…it is jut so cool to not have to worry about my laptop overheating anymore when I use it on the couch…have the fans running on a low speed that I can’t hear and it’s still cool to the touch…I still feel lazy with not getting another room cleaned today but the house looks okay so I can live with that…the AQI was over 100 this morning and I could small smoke again but I really didn’t have an effects from it when I was riding…but you could sure see the smoke, too mixed with the fog we had here…you couldn’t even see Lake Michigan at the end of the 2nd ride but that was kind of nice…it is supposed to rain…okay, yeah, that made me laugh, too since the Muskegon force field has worked the last two times rain has been in the forecast…even some of the condos along Muskegon Lake have stopped watering their lawns and they have turned as brown as my lawn…at least I won’t have to worry about mowing when I’m in Italy if this keeps up…okay, still have the weight work to do and need to get on that right now…
Bye, bye jobs…
Well…with the incompetent idiot in charge, and just like everything he touches dies…idiot boy has killed the job market in this country…the latest data released today showed that employers have CUT 23,000 jobs in July and the previous 2 months have been revised from even the anemic job additions to basically 0 jobs added…so we went from adding 2-300,000 jobs a month under Biden to this crap and it’s all trump’ fault from his stupid tariffs to his illegal war with Iran…and people are starting to realized that the repubs are terrible at policies that help add jobs since they don’t care at all about it…for the billionaires to get their tax cuts they are right on it…but anything else they can’t be bothered and they let an ignorant, economic illiterate call all the shots on the economy…now the repubs and idiot boy are underwater and less than 40% of the people think they know what they’re doing…and people are tired of this crap which I hope translates into crushing these assholes in November…geez…
I’m stealing this from Thom Hartmann…
Well…as expected, the repubs and the right win chattering class of pundits are freaking out that Abdul El-Sayed won the primary for senator from here in Michigan and the Marxism, communist bullshit is flying from them since they have nothing else…okay, I’m stealing a lot of this from Thom Hartmann over at Kos but he clarifies what this fall’s election is really about so well that I can’t do anything better than to paraphrase…so, here we go…this election is not about voting for Karl Marx or communism or anything the right is bleating about…it’s about getting back to where money is not hoarded by the billionaire class who have been stealing this country since reagan started the tax cutting nonsense that has been shown to only concentrate wealth and not create jobs or benefit anyone but the rich…we just want fairness and what every other industrial country has…they want no fear that if one person in a family gets sick, the family is decimated…evidenced by the fact that there were almost a million medical related bankruptcies here when there are none in any other country…how about an education system that is fully funded from kindergarten to college and that doesn’t put people into debt (to the tune of 2 trillion dollars) and everyone who can do the work is encouraged to engage in building the skills we need in this country…every other country does that…not here…they want a system where voting is easy and can’t be hijacked by billionaires and corporations buying elections…and finally they just want jobs that will pay enough for people to afford to buy a home and raise a family on one income…just like it used to back before reagan…so, you get the point..we are not looking for communism or marxism…we are looking for a country and government that helps people when they need it and is the referee that enforces fairness and makes the people worth just as much as corporations and billionaires…is that too much to ask? geez…
August 7th
Well…darn, not up until a little after 5 and I’m already behind for the day at 5:44 an I’m still not sure how that happens…yeah, I know, it’s just that I still feel like I have a schedule at this ripe old age but who knows how to stop that? I sure don’t but I guess I’ll just have to live with it…slept okay for me last night and I’m hoping that the coffee works soon but I’m only on the first half cup so I’m behind on that, too..didn’t have enough leftover coffee in the carafe so I just made another pot so I’ll have enough to take on the bike for the 2nd ride…the AQI is back to concerning levels again today at about 100 but that is not high enough for me to wear a mask out there…and the goldenrod is blooming so I’m going to be miserable for the next month or so…we need some rain to wash the pollen out of the air and may get some tonight and tomorrow…ha,ha…yeah, you know how I feel about rain in the forecast…going to clean the kitchen today and maybe my bedroom to get rid of the cobwebs and vacuum the rug in there…the bedding is due to be done so that may be a project for today, too…I did service the bike yesterday to lube the chain, cables, and swingarm but I do need to clean everything to get the gunk out of the chain that builds up over time…haven’t washed it in a while but I’ll probably wait til after I get it dirty again in the rain….more later…
Got some work done…
Well…got to the point today where I really needed to accomplish something or I’d rekindle my guilt that I’ve been suppressing lately…so I started out by servicing the bike after the two rides and running over to the city offices to pay my water bill…it cost me 10 bucks to water the lawn for 2 hours over 2 days and I really need it to rain so I don’t have to spend money on it…after I got the bike done and did a bit of reading, I got after cleaning the bathroom from top to bottom and even found some clr to remove the water residue build up that gets applied just by using the shower…lots of lime scale and other stuff that I finally got rid of…now the shower is shiny and smooth again…had that done by noon so after that I treated myself to some reading and finished off the latest “Reacher” book I got from the library…I do like the laptop fan/stand since even on the lowest setting…it moves plenty of air even with no rise of the keyboard…so a good purchase for 14 bucks…started to buy some clothes for Italy today with getting a pair of shorts for 17 bucks…hope they fit…okay back to Jeffrey Deaver…
People have had enough of the repubs…
Well…it appears that people have had enough of the repubs trying to take away rights and rig the system for only their benefit..In Missouri, the repubs there tried to take away the ability of the people to put constitutional amendments up for a vote since the people were really pissing them off for adding things that the people wanted but the repubs hated…like the ability to participate in their state government…yeah, how’d that work out for you, repubs? Not so good when the proposal the repubs tried to jam through went down to crushing defeat with 81% of the vote against it…and this trend continued in Kansas where the repubs wanted to replace the appointed SC judges with electing them and bringing unlimited money into the races that the repubs knew would skew the court to their advantage…but the people of Kansas said no to the tune of over 60% of the vote and that kept the non partisan way of seating judges intact again pissing the repubs off….which I think needs to happen more in this country…look, we need to use every tool at our disposal to stop this undemocratic bullshit being foisted on us by a tiny minority of right wing assholes…geez…
August 6th
Well…here’s the first post using the new stand and I think I’s going to be okay…it’s a little different to have the keyboard elevated but I think it will be easier on my hands…I did figure out the slow drain in the bathroom yesterday after I got tired of it filling the sink and taking forever to empty…and the clog was right at the top of the drain just under the stopper that I got cleared with a screwdriver…the clog still had drain cleaner in it and I burned my hand a little from it…at least the damn thing is clear…okay, who the hell listens to “christian” hip hop? That was what was coming from the park last night on the first night of the 4 days of christian music festival that I’m already tired of…oh, well…don’t have a lot to do today other than ride the bike and hit the city offices to pay the water bill…probably should clean some since the kitchen and bathroom need a once over and I think I’ll start with the bathroom when I get back from the rides…got some whipped Philly cream cheese for 99 cents at DD yesterday and I may try that out on the bagel this morning just to see if I like it or not…depends on if it’s thawed or not but I need to get moving to have enough time before I need to get on the bike….more later…
Got the new laptop stand…
Well….this is pretty cool…just got the new laptop stand and it is pretty nice…have the fans running and it set on the lowest height and it’s just about perfect…this is what I was looking for to get the computer up off the couch and allow some air to get to the fan…just checked the temp after running it for 10 minutes or so and it is shut down cold…damn, could there be a product that doesn’t disappoint? This could be it…and I can barely hear the fans…so, I’ll be trying it out for a while but so far, so good…
