Well…it got up to 45 degrees again today so I went out and did an hour riding around my little city…it is a great way to see all of the new restaurants…we even have a brand new upscale Mexican place that I may even have to try it out…my hands are hurting pretty badly with all the shifting and using the brakes and that won’t go away until I start getting on the trail around the 3rd week of April…it looks like we have a couple more days of 40’s here and I’m glad the big storm is staying way to the north on the UP where it is dumping close to 3 feet of snow…we’re just going to get rain here tomorrow and that should get rid of some of the snow pack…at least I hope it does…back to reading…
California goes around trump…
Well…with the idiot trump’s chaotic economic policies that do nothing but hurt Americans, Gavin Newsom of California has had enough and just signed a billion dollar clean energy deal with the UK cutting trump and his cronies out of the deal…and with the 5th largest economy in the world, California has the clout to make deals that will benefit it’s citizens and that’s what you get when people elect dems…and progressive run states are starting to team up to get deals done that will get around the stupid tariffs that the rest of the world hates…soon, it looks like the world will cut the US out of any economic cooperation by just trading with themselves and that is going to crash the dollar by the end of the year…so, when idiot boy tries to bully the rest of the world, they have started to just ignore him as I recommended a few months back…geez…
February 17th
Well…up a little after 5 again today and I am really tired of it…I remember times when getting up this early never happened and I could sleep in til 10am and I am quickly coming to the idea that I need to take something for at least one night of sleep…it’s almost 6 and I need to get going so I can be done with the indoor ride by 8 or so…going to get an outdoor ride in today but then the temps drop again into the 30’s but we are getting towards March and I sure hope some warmer temps…need to figure out some meals after the pizza leftovers are gone tomorrow but nothing grabs me…maybe some pasta? Have a whole loaf of garlic bread that’s been on the freezer for quite a while and two jars of sauce so that may be the easy thing…not much to do today…need to clean the bathroom at some point but I’m not sure if it will be today…more later…
Part of my gutter is gone…
Well…heard a hell of a noise a little while ago and went out to investigate…a 300 pound block of ice took down a 12 foot section of my gutter along with the drip flashing…so, I straightened out the flashing as best I could and nailed that back up and it will have to do until spring when I’ll get new pieces to put back up…not sure if I’ll replace the gutter…too small of a job to get anyone to come out and replace it…oh, well…
Down to 31%…
Well…I wonder how low the idiot’s approval rating can go? A new poll out yesterday shows that only 31% of independents approve of the job idiot boy is doing and I wonder why it’s so high…I mean any thinking person with any trace of moral fiber has to be repulsed by the idiot…especially with the revelation over the weekend that trump raped a 14 year old girl…and this was in sworn testimony at Maxwell’s trial…so why the hell has he not been charged with this felony? When we take back the house this fall, this should be at the top of the list of impeachment charges that get filed and any repub that tries to protect this rapist should be thrown out of the House…even with this revelation, more than 70% of evangelicals christians still support idiot boy…and that just shows you the rot that has taken over christianity in this country…geez..
February 16th
Well…I guess it doesn’t matter when I get out of bed since I always feel like I’ve never slept at all…that said, I was out of bed a little before 6 today but woke up around 4am and just laid there trying to get back to sleep…it’s already over 30 out there so I will be doing the 2nd ride outdoors today and I’m looking forward to that…my skin has started to peel from the chemical I’ve been putting on it and I only have 5 more days until I can start to heal the ugly red blotches with cortisone…it looks like I’ll have leftover cream to use if I have any more keratosis that shows up as I get exposed to the sun…put spray on sunscreen when I rode outdoors the other day and that hurt like I put acid on my face so I’ll have to look for some lotion sunscreen when I go out today…didn’t get anything done yesterday and probably won’t again since I am so late getting going today…more later…
Down to 36%
Well…the ketchup must be hitting the WH walls today after the release of a new poll yesterday that put’s idiot boy’s approval rating at the lowest in history at 36%…that’s darn close to only a third of the country approves of the job the idiot is doing…and he is underwater on every issue that got him elected…those stupid trump voters believed every lie he told them even though the entire world knows that idiot boy probably never told the truth or kept a promise in his life…so what does the idiot do about it? He gets the Gallup organization to stop doing approval polling…and they have been doing it for 80 years…just another organization that didn’t have the guts to stand up to him…but he is too stupid to understand that Gallup is not the only poll out there so he can’t hide how unpopular he is…and at 36%, he has started losing even the maga assholes…I can’t wait for November…geez…
February 15th
Well…up a little after 5 again today and I really do need to figure out why I can’t sleep anymore…I did eat more yesterday but I can’t feel the effects of that yet and I wonder if I will at all…I was going to take an easy day yesterday with one ride indoors but I did take advantage of the nice weather to get a 10 mile ride in outdoors and I am going to try to do that again today…but the forecast says it’s only getting to 40 today so I guess we’ll see…I do need to clean the bathroom today but that is going to wait til later…the lesions on my face hurt like crazy when I put sunscreen on to go out or the outdoor ride so I won’t be able to use the 100 spray on until they heal up some…only 6 more days and I can start using the cortisone cream to get some relief…my skin looks really bad and red and I hope all of the lesions will be gone after I’m done…not much to do today…just need to pour coffee down and get it to work right now…damn it’s almost 6 and Ineed to get going…more later…
Got an outdoor ride in…
Well…I was reading a little news and noticed the temp outdoors was 48 degrees and you know that means I’m going to try to get an outdoor ride in…so I suited up, aired up the tires and went out…went down the hill to the park to see how much ice is on Muskegon Lake and the whole thing is frozen over and thick enough that there were ice fishers and people riding quads on the ice…but the end of the trail where I start out is still under 2 feet of snow and it looks like it will be mid to late April before I get out on them…but, if it’s this warm tomorrow, I’ll be back out there to get another 10 miles in…streets are okay but still have lots of ice on them…going to be sore tomorrow…
No more ICE funding…
Well…it appears that the dems are stiffening their spines on not funding DHS and ICE and it’s about damn time…so the dems are going to let that part of the government shut down and it was a smart move on their part to separate out the DHS and ICE funding from the big spending bill so the repubs couldn’t hold the whole country hostage with a general government shutdown…after all, the repubs wanted to double funding for ICE which would make it the largest part of the government…something that no one but the magas want…geez…
