Well…after the idiot trump lied and said that all of Iran’s military capabilities have been “obliterated” just last week…then why did he have to attack Iran again yesterday? I wonder if it’s because his bullshit “deal” with Iran is just so much vaporware…yeah, I like that word, and the negotiations haven’t even dealt with the big issues like Iran’s nuclear program…oh, that’s right, that’s another part of Iran that’s been “obliterated” so I guess he doesn’t have to deal with that in negotiations…folks, this is one stupid individual and he has never in his life ever negotiated anything that the other side didn’t take him to the cleaners and that is what Iran is doing right now…they know they have the upper hand and that idiot boy is desperate to make any deal he can…and Iran’s “obliterated” military just attacked the base that idiot boy used to attack them and destroyed a large part of it…so much winning maga folks…how do you like it now? Geez…
May 28th
Well…I am so damn tired today and that is something I don’t want to get used to…I’m sure part of it not sleeping well…with tossing and turning all night and dragging my butt out of bed at 4:54…I’m just shaking my head at how sore I am today after just spraying the front steps with cleaner and then rinsing if off…no scrubbing at all and yet my lower back is so sore I can barely move this morning…as everything else is and that just sucks…and I need to spend a couple more hours on the steps today applying the thompson’s which will aggravate the pain in my forearms…man, I’m just a wreck…oh, well…that comes with getting old…still need to get my butt moving to get out on the bike when it gets light and that gives me 45 minutes to drink coffee and get the weight work done…it’s in the 50’s right now but close enough to 60 so I can go out in a light fleece and should have the 2nd ride done by 9am or so and I can go straight into treating the front stairs…should be done with everything by 11am or so and I’ll take the rest of the day off after that….more later…
A better day…
Well…it was a better today but it really had to be…but I’ve been up since 4:44 and that sucks…that got me started early enough to get the weight work in and a ride done before the grocery run where I only spent 22 bucks…but I spent almost 50 at menards getting the deck wash and thompson’s since I couldn’t find anything better to waterproof the front steps…I tried a new deck wash made by Pittsburg paints and I really like it…just sprayed it on with an old hose sprayer I didn’t use anymore and let it set for an hour or so and washed it off…it removed almost all of the green algae and cleaned the wood really well…getting rid of all of the black mold that was on it and leaving me with a good surface to waterproof…and the jug it came in is 2 1/2 gallons for 16 bucks and I think I probably have enough to do the steps two more times…the active ingredient is pretty much bleach but it has lots of soap in it too and I love the idea that I didn’t have to scrub at all…much better on my hands and back…and my e-mail seems to be working with getting a lot of the spam I used to get along with actual e-mails for me…pretty cool…just finished a book and now I need to start another one to finish it before Friday…
The idiot got what he wanted…and what we wanted…
Well…after the Texas primary for senator yesterday, it looks like both our side and the idiot trump got what he wanted when Paxton defeated Cornyn and is the nominee…we were really hoping that Paxton would win since he is the most scandal plagued candidate in history and even the sane repubs ran ads against him that I’m sure our side can just lift and explain who ran the ads…that the only people who wanted paxton were the maga diehards who love crooked people to vote for…and now our guy Tallarico can get to work with the best chance to win we’ve had in Texas in 20 years…and it’s just another case of the idiot being so stupid that he endorses the worst candidate for the general election just to soothe his ego and try to show he is still powerful in the repub party…but the rest of the country hates him and his endorsements in the general have put the touch of death on “his” candidates and they are losing all over the country…so keep it up idiot…geez…
May 27th
Well…man, I feel worn out this morning and getting out of bed at 4:44 didn’t help…and the 2 day rule is still working so I hurt like crazy everywhere and will take an ibuprofen before I get on the bike early…need to get a ride in before the grocery run and at least it’s warm enough to go out in shorts…and put the top down on the car for the run…need to get the stuff to take care of the front porch and get it waterproofed and I may even work on that today since there is no rain in the forecast until next Tuesday so that will give me time to spend a few hours to clean it and let it dry before I treat it…got the lawn mowed yesterday and noticed that the brush killer has started to work on the trash bushes in my fence and I hope it kills them all…the damn things have been wrecking my fence since I bought this place and it’s time to get rid of them…at least it will be warm enough to wash the porch and not freeze my butt off and that has been a long time coming…I mean it’s almost June and we are still in the 50’s right now…need to get the weight work in and eat something before I get on the bike in 50 minutes…more later…
One of those days…
Well…it’s been one of those days today where everything that could go wrong did…stupid yahoo tried to extort me into paying them 100 bucks a year to “upgrade” to yahoo mail plus by making my e-mail fail this morning…and they have stopped giving tech support to people unless they give them the hundred bucks…not going to do that and I think I may have figured out a work around…we’ll see…I did get out on the bike in shorts and a t-shirt today but the rides were fueled by only one cup of coffee and that is not anywhere near enough…so I was still drinking coffee at 2pm to use up the old stuff so I can make new tomorrow…not as sore as I expected on the bike today but I think the 2 day rule will come into effect tomorrow and I’ll be feeling it…I did get the lawn mowed in between the rides but that took everything out of me and the 2nd ride was a lot of work…but, I survived it again today and even had the chance to read a bit…still haven’t dealt with the noise ordinance out here but there is only so much I want to deal with in one day…maybe tomorrow…need to get the deck wash at menards tomorrow along with some thompson’s since I couldn’t find a more affordable sealant…oh, well…
The idiot trump is healthy?
Well…after the last trip the idiot in chief took to Walter Reed Hospital, his stupid doctor basically said he’s the most fit president in history…if that’s true why has the idiot gone to the hospital 3 times this year including today where his schedule says he will be there “all day”…now, when I go to my doctor for the yearly checkup, it takes me like a half hour since I really am healthy and they don’t have to run hours of tests to see that…and don’t feed me the bullshit that this stuff is “precautionary”…anyone can see that idiot boy is not healthy…from his swollen ankles to his bruises everywhere cover up with makeup, to his falling asleep in almost every meeting is not normal and if I reported this to my doctor, I would end up in the hospital for test just like idiot boy…and let’s remember the idiot bragging about “acing” his cognitive tests that they have given him 3 times already this year and that wouldn’t happen unless it was noticed he was declining…my doctors take one look at me and listen to me and then skip the cognitive tests since they could see no decline…and yet, the media that harped constantly on Biden’s slow decline say nothing about trump’s clear inability to do his job…geez…
May 26th
Well…what a shitty morning…have been trying to fix my e-mail all morning and yahoo is no damn help…all of my e-mails are going to the trash folder and they haven’t done a damn thing…crap…so I’ve wasted hours trying to fix it and it’s put me in a damn crappy mood…and I’m late for getting on the bike and that doesn’t help…the city has changed the noise ordinance here to allow people to do whatever they want until 11 pm so I’ll be putting my house up for sale soon…but first I’m going to go to the city council meeting and ream them a new asshole for doing this to this city…do they think that noise is no longer an issue? I’ll be burning up the e-mail today blasting every one of these morons for doing this…why the hell can’t I just live life without all this damn work? I need to stop here and just stew a bit…more later…
39 miles today…
Well…when I got up this morning I thought I’d have a short wait to get the temps high enough to get out on the bike and it was…55 by 8:10 and I was even able to go out in shorts…with the wind tolerable and the temp coming up to almost “springlike” temps, I decided to test my fitness level and do 3 rides for 39 miles this morning…so, I survived it and just feel a little stiff from it…energy held out and I still felt good at the end of the 3rd ride so that means I can train up and get ready for doing the “ride my age” day in June…now, it may hit me badly tomorrow or Wed but I guess I’ll just have to wait it out and see…a little stiff and sore right now but I’m only going to read this aft so it will give my body a chance to recover…I hope…reading time…
I think there’s a recession on it’s way…
Well…you know I’m always predicting things and sometimes I’m right…okay, more than sometimes it appears…and now, from observations of the past couple of weeks, I think there is a recession coming for the US…and there are a few things that make me think that way…first, houses out here are no longer selling in one day like mine did…there are some out here that have been for sale for months and there is even a purpose built VRBO vacation rental duplex that went up for sale a couple of weeks ago…and even in my neighborhood, there are about a dozen houses for sale and the only reason I see is they are distressed properties that the owners can’t afford when they bought at the top of the market…second…the city owned marina is only half filled and there are only 3 boats on the 50 buoys that were almost filled last year…and I take that to mean that people are tightening their belts with the soaring inflation we are seeing in everything…and boats are the first luxuries to go…third…they held a boat sale at the condo development last weekend and no one showed up…salespeople outnumbered customers 10-1 and I saw that as I rode right through it over the three days of the sale…and all of this goes with the surveys that say almost 60% of people have cut back going to restaurants and are seriously watching what they spend…not good omens since the economy is driven by consumer spending…here it comes…geez…
