Well…my brother really needs to stop listen to right wing media…today on the way home he went off on the “fact” that there are millions of non citizens voting in our elections and it all happens because states are registering everyone who renews their driver’s license…and the other big part to this argument is that some states are issuing driver’s licenses to non-citizens and then registering them to vote…none of this is happening…not one bit of it but I guess the lies of fox news do have some power..in Michigan, remember, there were only 12 non-citizens who were found to have voted…that’s .00028% of the vote…maybe enough to move the vote in a tiny hamlet that only has 15 people but in a state that had 5.7 million people who voted in the 2024 election, 12 votes don’t mean squat…so, of course, the repubs here want to pass a constitutional amendment that would make it harder for everyone to vote and give the repubs a tool to rig our elections…geez…
No routine today…
Well…I was really looking forward to getting back into my routine today but that didn’t happen after my brother called me while I was doing the grocery run to ask where I was…I thought cleaning out the SIL’s house was going to happen next Wed but it was today and I just got back here…so just the weight work and one ride today before that…still drinking coffee but need to switch to water soon…got the entire house cleaned up and the microwave removed so we can change it out along with the fridge and washer and dryer next Wed…I did get a couple of Ryobi tools that I can really use…a small hand vac and a hand held air compressor that both run on the one plus batteries I have to the other tools…so I’m set now…oh, and I got a pipe snake that I have been needing to do the bathroom drain…so a pretty good day so far…but I am exhausted…have the laundry going and now I want to read a bit…
February 4th
Well…you know life has gotten weird when you get up at 5:23 and it feels like sleeping in…and it really is after getting up at 3 and then 4 the past two days…and it does feel good to be back home and into my routine but I need to get off my butt and get the weight work started and on the bike before the grocery run…I think I’ll bury the car today with how bad it was trying to get it to the garage yesterday but I guess we’ll see…the all star race was postponed til today so I’ll have something to watch as the nascar season starts…only two days until I get my stitches out and I can’t wait to be able to shave that part of my face again…almost ran the electric shaver over it but that would remove the stitches too early…going to have a bagel for breakfast this morning but need to get my teeth in first and have more coffee…more later…
Damn, it’s nice to be home…
Well…got home around 5:30 and I flew on the e-way since they were clear and dry…and damn, it’s nice to be home and getting settled in again…had to shovel the snow and make coffee and ice and put all the stuff way..it’s pretty cool that my laptop automatically reconnected to the wifi so I didn’t have to do anything…and to sit here on my comfy couch that I love to read on is just going to be nice tomorrow…I do have to do the grocery run tomorrow and I’m going to hit DD for some 30 oz self rising pepperoni pizzas for 1.99 and see if there is anything else I can use…okay, time to watch tv…
Heading home in a few hours…
Well…it’s about noon right now and I’ll be heading home around 5pm or so but I still need to take Art out for another walk about 3 or so and make up another batch of food for him…then pack all my crap up and get it in the car…going to warm it up around 4:30 or so…I did go out and shovel here since they haven’t done it in a while and I do need to shovel at home since there was quite a bit of snow before I left to come here and it’s snowed another 6 inches since then…and I need to get on the bike and take a shower before 7 so I can settle in for a normal night…still need to make the grocery list for the grocery run tomorrow and I’ll need to hit the library but maybe not til Friday after my stitches get removed…still have a thick book to finish…can’t wait til I can get back to my routine…two one ride days in a row are not good for me…
Thom Hartmann on Kos…
Well…this one is going to be a little short since I can’t do as good a job covering all of the times that the idiot trump was a traitor with his contacts with Putin and Russia…it goes on to show that he has been feeding classified intel to putin ever since putin helped him get elected in 2016…our intelligence services were freaking out about all the times that idiot boy has met with putin and there was no record of what was said and this is the first time in history that has happened…what was idiot boy talking about that he couldn’t have a record of…Hartmann thinks epstein had videos of trump with underage girls that he gave to putin and putin used them to blackmail the idiot…that would explain lots of the idiot’s behavior over the years like trying to destroy NATO which has been a goal of putin’s forever…so go over there and read…it’s a long one but Hartmann pulls it all together in one place how compromised idiot boy is and that his the biggest traitor the country has ever seen…making Benedict Arnold look like a piker…geez…
February 3rd
Well…up too darn early again today but tonight I’ll be sleeping in my own bed so that should help…it was an okay day taking car of Art but he seems to be sad and all he does is sleep…it’s the first time my car has set outside overnight and I really can’t wait to get back to my routine and my house…going to take off from here around 5 this afternoon and get a bike ride in when I get home and take a shower then just get into my normal night…I really don’t like being away from home and the nice relaxing routine I have…I will need to shovel the snow when I get home and I hope they’ve plowed the alley so I can get back into the garage after stopping to turn the power back on and opening the garage door…and I’m going to have to warm the car up for a half hour here to get the snow off the glass…sure hope they’ve got the e-way cleared…it’s 25 degrees so the salt will work and it may even be clear and that would be cool…more later…
Closing the Kennedy Center….
Well…as we all know, everything the idiot trump touches dies and that has happened to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts…after idiot boy fired everyone and put his toadies in place to run it, and then slathered his name in front of JFK’s performers have cancelled dates to the point where there are no more scheduled acts for the rest of the year…the only people who will still perform are the third tier acts like kid rock and other maga assholes and they can’t even sell those tickets to the maga faithful…so idiot boy lied and said it was being closed for two years for “repairs” I guess so he can turn the interior in a gold plated monstrosity like he’s done to the WH…I think he’s afraid that the news will keep this story alive if he keeps it open an he’s such a pussy that he can’t take it…poor baby…geez..
I made it…
Well…I made it here and now I’m set up with the laptop and coffee in my comfy clothes so I’m going to take it easy for a bit…up at 3am this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep so I’m going to be dragging later and may even attempt a nap this aft…Art is a little upset since this is the first time that my son and DIL have both been gone but I think he’ll survive it…the trip over here was a chore with slick roads and I couldn’t get over 60 with the traffic and snow but it’s supposed to stop snowing this morning and then no more until Thurs so the trip home is going to be okay…and Toni is getting back tomorrow night so I can take off after I feed Art at 5…so now I’m just going to sit here and read for a bit…
February 2nd
Well…damn, this not sleeping is starting take everything out of me…up at a little after 3 this morning and the stress of the next two days is taking it’s toll…need to still pack a few things and get the weight work and a ride in before I start the car at 6:30 to warm it up before I take off at 6:45…it’s snowing so it may be a little slick but with it being in the upper 20’s the salt should work…can’t wait to get back here Tuesday and get my routine working again…I can’t believe how much I packed for just two days away…have my electronic bag, my clothes bag, and my food bag that I need to take along with all of the stuff I need to maintain this old body…have started the coffee and will take the rest of it in two Contego cups along with a container of milk since I still want that with food…need to get going and get on the weight work…will do another one or two of these once I’m settled in in GR…more later…
