Well…darn, I almost forgot to come here for this one it has been such an off day for me…first, my legs were howling in pain on the 2nd ride today and I can’t figure that out…I mean they’ve been flat for a week now but not a lot of pain but now my left thigh is sore to the touch and that never happens…I must have done something to hurt it but I sure as heck don’t know what…oh, well…and then all of my teams lost and the races sucked so I didn’t have anything to keep me from getting bored….I did use the tomato/ricotta pasta sauce and it’s not bad so I think I’ll get more while they are still on sale for 1.39…and I’ll have to do that Tuesday since I have a dentist appointment Wed morning at 9am…so maybe I’ll turn that into a semi rest day and only do one ride to let my legs heal up a bit if they stay like this…I weighed the chicken breasts I got last week at aldis and they are all a pound and a half so I only cooked one today and that will last a couple of days as I add it to fettuccine with the ricotta sauce…think I’ll see what other kind of new pasta sauces they have and just give some a try…it has been a day that has left me wanting a cocktail tonight so I think I’ll have just one…can nurse that for 2 hours and then I’ll get up and feel good in the morning…time to look for some tv to watch…
Aid and comfort to our enemies…
Well…how many more times does the idiot trump have to commit treason before the repubs that run the government do something about it? Yeah, that’s a rhetorical question because we all know they won’t do a damn thing…the latest is idiot boy’s giveaway to a Russian oligarch of a huge chunk of a new natural gas project in Alaska…what’s next? Giving Alaska back to the Russians? Look, this is an egregious example of giving aid and comfort to our enemies which is the exact definition of treason in the Constitution…and it is all so he and his family can skim a few billion off the top and help his pal putin get the money he needs to continue to murder Ukrainians…I know this is a part of idiot boy’s plan to break every law he can and hope that there are too many instances so they all can’t be stopped…if the dems don’t stop this after January 3rd it will be political malpractice and just more of the “bipartisan” bullshit they’ve been clinging to when politics in this country has changed and they need to grow a frickin spine and go after every damn one of these crimes….geez…
October 25th
Well…damn, I just can’t get this morning thing worked out…woke up at 4:31 but then stayed in bed and slept more until 5:30 and now I’m already behind for the day and won’t be out on the bike til 6:30 and that’s too late…oh, well…it was supposed to stay over 50 overnight but that didn’t happen so it’s cold out there again today so it will be almost full thermasuit today…it just takes so darn long to warm up after the rides that I’ll sit here most of the day freezing or with the heating pad on me and I don’t remember if that’s normal or not…took coffee with me on both rides yesterday and may do that again today since I only have time to pour one cup down before I get on the rides…but that leaves me dehydrated and my big toe starts to hurt…so maybe only the 2nd ride…not sure if I’m going to clean today but I am going to cook some chicken and try out the tomato/ricotta pasta sauce I got last week…probably with some fettuccini and I look forward to that…something new after 5 days of the last chicken dish I made last week…need to get off my butt and get moving but I am going to toast a bagel today since my stomach was pretty bad on the bike yesterday with not eating anything…more later…
At least I got the sinks done…
Well…have been putting off cleaning the kitchen for a couple of days and I’m not sure why…but I did get the kitchen sinks scrubbed today and will do the rest of it tomorrow…along with doing the floor in there, I’ll mop the bathroom floor, too to get it cleaner than doing it by hand…so I have plans for cleaning that I just might ignore again…who knows? I did get good rides in this morning but didn’t get started til late so the 2nd ride was completely in the light…I’ve decided to charge the bike lights ever day since the cold really takes the battery capacity down…and I really don’t want them to go dark when I’m in the dark…I was sitting out at the beach looking at Orion and saw Betelgeuse up there and that drove my mind to think about never seeing a nova or supernova in my long life and that is just wrong…I know there was one in visible in the southern hemisphere in the 80’s but I’m not sure if it was naked eye visible or not…some of them have been as bright as the full moon and that would be cool to see…oh, well…time for more reading…
They don’t care….
Well…we all know that the repubs don’t give a damn about anyone but their rich donors and that was shown in a NYT article where the idiot trump gave the biggest polluters in the country waivers of environmental laws that were written to try to stop them killing people with their emissions…and you know that every damn one of these polluters gave “contributions” (bribes) to idiot boy and his cronies to buy themselves the exemptions…and there are almost 4 million Americans that live near these polluters that will suffer the health consequences for the heavy metal and benzene and other pollutants they are now allowed to spew…4 million Americans…but the repubs don’t care anything about the increased incidence of asthma and other respiratory diseases that will be caused by this additional pollution…and you know that it is low income people who live near these polluters which is a bonus to these ghouls since they live for making life harder for anyone who isn’t rich enough to bribe them…the indifference of these assholes is just too much for me…it’s just like having the repubs walk into these homes and shooting the people who live there…it’s the same effect…geez…
October 24th
Well…damn, not out of bed til 6;02 this morning and that is going to make me late for the whole day…should be on the bike right now and I still don’t understand why I can’t just live with it and get on with the day…ick…it’s going to be cold every morning from now on and it’s only 45 right now so I’ll be dressing for that…going to even skip the bagel this morning just to save that 5 minutes…going to put coffee in the cup for the first and 2nd ride today since I don’t have time to sit here and drink some and I really need it…I do need to clean the kitchen today and I think I will…need to slow down on reading or all the books will be done before the end of the month and I really like having them here to choose from…okay, this one is going to be short…it’s already 6:30 and I need to get on the bike….more later…
No work today…
Well…I know I was supposed to work on cleaning the kitchen today but got caught up in a Michael Connelley book and said the hell with it and just read all afternoon…and I’m going to start Jonathan Kellerman’s only 3rd book from 1988 and I am curious to see the evolution of his writing style…I am so happy that I bought some books I haven’t read that should keep me busy til Thanksgiving…so maybe I’ll work on the kitchen tomorrow…don’t have to cook til Sunday and that will be a couple of the chicken breasts I got from aldis while I freeze two of them…I do want to try the new Prego pasta sauce with ricotta cheese in it and I hope to do that while they’re still on sale…1.39 is a pretty good deal for 4 meals…my legs were better today with making popcorn for additional calories last night but they still are a little flat…went out in the heavy fog today and I was glad I put my rain gear on or I would have been soaked…okay, races start right now from Talladega and the trucks should be cool…
Kushner’s next…
Well…we already knew that jared kushner was a corrupt idiot when the saudis gave him 2 billion dollars for absolutely no reason a few years back…kushner lied and said it was because of his “financial acumen” and that he would invest the money for the saudis…yeah, that never happened and now there is a report out yesterday that the GRU (Russia’s spy agency) hacked his phone and found a lot of interesting things going on like secret bank accounts that were never revealed anywhere in banks that are hotbeds of money laundering…and this guy is in charge of middle east peace? Negotiating with countries that have given him billions of dollars? At the very least this is a terrible conflict on interest where kushner is not the impartial negotiator with US interests at the top of his agenda but filling his own pockets at the expense of the US…this idiot needs to be brought into the House to answer for this fraud on the name of the US…leveraging his corrupt daddy in law to profit on his bias…this crap has to end…geez…
October 23rd
Well….damn, I’m getting tired of running all the time to get on the bike and get the rides in…one of these days I’m just going to sit here and watch tv and drink coffee…but not today…going to have to put on my rain gear this morning since there is fog/mist out there and it’s 42 and that will be warmer, too…it felt good to get some cleaning done here yesterday and I’m going to continue that with cleaning the kitchen today…I know I said that yesterday but just wanted to read in the afternoon so I did…the cold is affecting the battery life in my bike lights and I’m now only getting 2 days out of a charge but that’s still not bad at 3 hours of run time…the leaves are still not falling fast enough but that means I don’t have to pick them up til next week…once they start to come down heavy, I’ll have at least 15 bags of them to put out and hours of time with the mower to pick them up…at least the mower shreds them so more of them fit in the bags…damn, still need to toast a bagel so I can have fuel on the bike this morning so I need to get moving…more later…
I have a clean living room…
Well…I really did plan to clean the living room and kitchen today but only got to the living room…but that is completely cleaned and I even rotated the cushions on the couch and washed the cover…and I thought that was enough for one day and I’ll do the kitchen tomorrow…the rides this morning were a little rough and my legs were flat so I decided to eat more today since that is normally the cause of the problem…but I have been really sore and stiff, too and that is not caused by under eating…so I’m a little confused…but I’ll live through it…I did start a Michael Connelly book this aft and I’m going to read more here in a few minutes…it is really unusual to find one I haven’t read…it is nice to have a cushion to sit on that doesn’t have an indentation from sitting on it and I think I’ll have to rotate them more often…oh, I did give myself a haircut today since I was getting a little shaggy and I don’t like that…I did buy some new dry skin lotion that is supposed to last 72 hours and I’m up to 24 and I can still feel it so that’s cool and will save me a lot of cash trying to keep my skin from cracking and bleeding…okay, need to do the weight work and clean my teeth and make ice so I’ll end here…
