Well…got another 21 miles in today but came away from it cold and wet since it was only 40 degrees when I went out and it started to rain about 3 miles out on the way back from Lake Michigan…so, it’s a heating pad day but I should get off my butt and do a load of laundry and I will after I get this done…starting a new author, Clive Cussler, right after the laundry and I am a little excited…I have run across him but never read anything of his until now…this batch of books has 3 new authors in it so I have expanded my group and added a bunch more books to read…was running out with the other authors I have been reading so I hope these will give me something to pass the time…time for laundry…
What a grift…
Well…has anyone else seen the Charlie Kirk ad where they are grifting by selling books that the idiot wrote…let’s be clear, in this ad they make kirk out to be a very religious nice person who lives his faith when he was not that person at all…he was a hate filled racist asshole who lived his life completely on the wingnut welfare circuit and spent his time demonizing anyone who was not straight and white and now his wife is lying in these ads that make him out to be a saint…I even have to change the channel whenever the ads come on…I wonder how these people can lie like this…oh, yeah…they’re repubs so that comes naturally to them…geez..
March 5th
Well…there just is something wrong with getting out of bed before 5am and pouring coffee down at 5:14…I am so damn tired that I may only do one indoor ride today…it’s not going to be warm enough to ride outdoors again today since the 42 degrees out there is the high for the day and it’s going to get colder soon…didn’t sleep well at all last night but that is the pattern since I decided no more sleep aids and I may have to rethink that…you would think that I’d be able to take a nap after no sleep but that isn’t happening either…oh, well…need to get on the weight work soon but I just want to sit here for a bit and think about meals…I could make another pizza today but don’t want that many calories…so maybe a bagel this morning and then a smoked turkey sandwich for lunch and no dinner today…that would keep me under 1K calories for the day and I need that…crap…already running late and need to get off my butt and get moving….more later…
Iran had agreed to US terms…
Well…if you didn’t think that the Iran debacle could get any worse, it’s now been reported that Iran had agreed to all of the terms that the US asked for…so then why the attacks? I think it’s still the idiot trump misusing our military illegally to take attention away from his rape of multiple underage girls that is coming out in the epstein files…so now he is using the military and the DOJ to try to protect himself from consequences of his actions…and I think there is another reason for the attacks…that he feels like a tough guy when the draft dodger sends our military to their deaths…and he just like killing people and getting away with it…and now gas prices are up almost 60 cents a gallon from his stupid war that goes right along with hiws stupid tariffs…and he still hasn’t given any reason why he attacked Iran other than his lies about the Iranian nuclear program…so the ball is in your court repubs…what the hell are you going to do about it?Geez…
I declare the trails open…
Well…you read that right…I was able to get out to Lake Michigan on the trails today and only had to walk the bike about 300 yards in 12.5 miles…and most of that was along the base of the bluff along Muskegon Lake that doesn’t get much sun…it’s never been open this early in the 5 years I’ve lived out here…all of the snow we had did nothing to raise the water level in Muskegon Lake but it doesn’t look worse either so I guess that’s something…the condo project looks like a ghost town with it going into receivership last fall and there was not one car or truck in any of the parking lots so it looks like the restaurant has closed after only being open a year…so it was a busy morning after the rides, grocery run, and washing the crud off the bike so I can lube it up tomorrow since it is going to be raining most of the day…it feels good to ride more than 20 miles in a day for the first time this year…time to read a bit..
March 4th
Well…I’m not sure how it happened but I’m back to getting out of bed at 5:14 again and that is way too damn early…I know it helps me get my day going but having my first cup of coffee before 5:30am seems a little weird to me…so I’ll be on the bike before 6am and I could even get two rides in before I head out to the grocery run but I’m not going to do that…want to get an outdoor ride in to take a look at the trails to see if they are passable…if they are, it will be the earliest in the 5 years I’ve lived out here…need to do some meal planning today but I am picking up some smoked turkey so there will be sandwiches for the next few days…need to get some food out of the freezer but I’m not sure what that will be yet…a little tired of pizza but I still have 4 in there so I’ll probably use one this weekend…it’s going to rain a ton over the next few days so the snow will all be gone but, with the 30’s that are coming, we could get more next week…ick…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and grocery runs…and maybe some cleaning…more later…
Got some cleaning done…
Well…finished up the last book this morning so I had time to do some cleaning and that felt good so I think I’m going to wean myself off books for a while…but I am going to pick up a few more tomorrow but not 8 like I got last week..going to do a wander in the stacks tomorrow to try to find new authors who look interesting…my BP machine has been throwing error messages so I think I may need a new one…and it’s reading about 10 points higher than it used to and I’m not doing anything different…or I guess I could just stop taking my BP since we do have the meds figured out…going to hit DD to get some sliced smoked turkey they have on sale for 4 bucks for 2 1/2 pounds and I have lettuce and tomatoes so I can make sandwiches with it…looks like I’ll be able to ride outdoors tomorrow with the high getting to 50 or so then we have a short stint of warm weather and then it freezes again on the 12th with temps in the 30’s…ick…oh, well…that’s March in Michigan…
Obliterated?
Well…I really don’t think the idiot trump even knows what obliterated means…he used that term when he bombed Iran’s nuclear program in his first term…but now that “obliterated” program magically restored itself and it is the new reason that Iran was attacked last week…what it it asshole? Did you lie to us then or are you lying now…of course both can be true since all that moron knows how to do is lie….and yet the repubs who control congress don’t care, they are perfectly happy to cede their constitutional power to the idiot and then sit there cheering when he spends hundreds of billions of dollars as they starve people in this country…the founders gave the power to declare war to the congress just so one unhinged moron couldn’t do just what idiot boy is doing…war is supposed to be debated and declared by the people’s representatives to give the people the power to stop this crap…and the polls show that 75% of Americans didn’t want this war…and the repubs will pay for it in November…geez…
March 3rd
Well…up a little before 5 this morning and I went straight out on the porch to look for the lunar eclipse but it’s cloudy here so I didn’t see much of it…slept okay but feel pretty worn out this morning and it’s going to be tough getting going this morning…and, while it warms up this week, then it goes down into the 20’s for a week and that sucks…didn’t eat much yesterday but I need to do better today…so, I’ll have a bagel before I get on the bike here in a few minutes and lots more coffee…didn’t get much done yesterday but wash the car but I do need to get the grocery list ready for the run tomorrow even though I don’t need much other than milk…going to do the breakfast for lunch thing again today…have been having trouble with my BP the past couple of days and I may have to make a doctor appointment…I couldn’t get under 140 yesterday and that’s way too high…not much to do today…just need to get started on the weight work now and then grit my teeth and get the rides in…more later…
Washed the car…
Well…after I got the normal stuff done early today and finished up the 2nd ride a little after 8 so then I decided to drag my butt out in the cold and wash the car…the only problem was that it was only 13 degrees and the car turned into a block of ice and I couldn’t get all the soap off of it…oh, well…I did get the last of the sub 3 buck gas today but we won’t see that price again this year after the idiot’s stupid war…only did one meal today of two slices of pizza and no bagel for breakfast…so that is about 700 calories for the day and I can live with that…will have to plan meals for the rest of the week and get some food out of the freezer…but I can do that tomorrow since I have one more day of leftovers to have…got my new BP cuff a few minutes ago and I’m going to try it out and then go back to reading for a bit…
