Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….didn’t even get a bike ride in since I had the front tire fail on the way out and didn’t want to chance it splitting and dumping me on the trail…slept okay and had some dreams that I don’t remember so they couldn’t have been very good…not sure why but I feel pretty crappy this morning and am having a hard time getting going…and I have stuff to do today so that is a problem….so I guess I’ll just sit here for a while and hope it gets better…I did eat enough yesterday…I think…so that is not it….hmmmm…not much to do today…need to get some work done around here and then run some errands but that is about it….more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….slept okay but wasn’t good so I feel it today….almost didn’t make the goal for the month since I forgot that April only has 30 days in it…I was a little surprised to see 5/1 come up on the phone this morning…forgot to eat dinner last night so that is part of not feeling so great today and I need to do something about that….I wonder when we are going to get to spring? It is cold and rainy again this morning and I’m not sure if I want to brave it for a bike ride today…just can’t get motivated and the coffee is not helping…not much to do today….I should clean but I’m not sure if I will and I need to finish off all of the leftovers so I can cook again tomorrow…more later…
Another one for the B-3 count…
Well…here I go again…have just seen another band that uses the Hammond B-3 organ as part of their instrumentation…and this one is a little funny…it’s the Tedeschi/Trucks band made up of Butch Trucks nephew and Susan Tedeschi…..she used to come here and play Blues on the Mall…and Derek played with the Allman brothers….oh, it’s on the New Orleans Jazz festival on AXS…
Short and funny…
Well…yeah, I know it looks like I’m just trying to make sure I make the goal for the month but this little article I just read made me laugh out loud…as you know, John Boehner made the comment the he thinks the Ted Cruz is Lucifer embodied…and now, in a predictable reaction, a few of the satanist organizations in the US are taking offense with that comparison, saying that comparing Satan to Ted Cruz or saying that he is Lucifer disparages Satan and they won’t stand for it and want an apology…yeah, I know, this whole complaint is pretty tongue in cheek but I still think it’s pretty funny….not sure if there is a more hated person in the US….even more than Satan…yow….
More NC…
Well…I know I’ve written about North Carolina an their stupid bill that allows discrimination against the LGBT community…that’s stupid enough that they passed this thing, but with the financial fallout reaching almost a hundred million dollars and counting, you would think that the idiot legislators there would have some feeling for the people who are losing their jobs just so the extremists there can hate…but you would be wrong to think that…just the other day, one of the chief haters responsible for the legislation just blew at the question of job and financial losses, just saying that he basically didn’t give a damn if “liberal” companies left the state and that tourists stopped coming…completing that thought with the real reason for the bill…to keep NC “straight” not to protect women as they lied the reason for it was…typical repub asshollery….they don’t care about anyone’s job but their own….I don’t like it when people lose their jobs but they elected these clowns…maybe now they will think about who they vote for…geez…
April 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….made a little cash, too, so there will be groceries again this week…it was a long day with pool and then errands after and I am feeling it today…not too badly but a little slow…haven’t been on the bike in three days and I will need to get out today…it is too cold right now but there is no wind so I am itching to get out…going to rain this aft so it will have to happen this morning….oh, just checked and this is my 4,500th post here since I started this thing many years ago…that is a hell of a lot of writing and I’m not sure if I’ve learned anything from it or even gotten better as time has gone on…I’ll have to look back to the start to see the progression…might be something to do on a rainy day…not much to do today…have a bunch of stuff to do around here today along with cleaning so that will probably be about it….more later…
April 29th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday and the only thing I got done was the exhaust…but that saga was in another post so I won’t go into that here….did go out to meet G and had many more than a few to celebrate her getting an offer for a new job…and with cocktails here after that, it is going to be a challenging morning….and I forgot to eat dinner so that is going to compound it…oh, well….felt like crap when I got up but the coffee is helping…got a care package on my door this morning from Brian so I have more fish and and venison to eat…might thaw some and have it for lunch….or maybe take some to Tom…not sure yet…not much to do today…pool, of course, but that is about it…I wonder how loud the car will be when I put the top down later?….more later…
This is too funny…
Well…as you know if you have read anything about Ted Cruz, that he is one of the most hated people who has ever been elected to Congress…and this was borne out today with comments when John Boehner was asked his opinion of ole Ted…and, this is a direct quote… “Lucifer in the flesh”…”I never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life…and I have been able to get along with most everyone…” that just made me laugh out loud…I wonder how “Lucifer in the flesh…and the most miserable son of a bitch” would get along with the rest of the government if he got elected? Never mind that he would be in charge of foreign policy and dealing with the rest of the world…he can’t even get along with anyone here so why would he be any better at that? I am just laughing how ole Ted thinks that people hate him because he fights against Washington and the “establishment”…he is hated because he is a sanctimonious asshole….nothing more than that….geez…
Way too loud…
Well….got the car done and this new exhaust is way too loud for me…oh, well…out 180 bucks…I guess I can live with it for a while but I do need to find one that is much quieter…damn….
update: I found an oem super quiet system at rock auto for 130 bucks and ordered it…it comes with a 30 buck rebate so all I need to do is sell the other one for 100 bucks and I will be clear….
Update two: sent a nastygram to the people I bought the exhaust from and they agreed to take it back and return my money…and pay the shipping back….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept okay, too…so I have a little energy today…running early today since I have to have the car in to the shop at 8 for the new exhaust and I hope that goes off with no snags….my shoulder seems to be healing from I’m not sure what but there are still twinges of pain that I’m sure I would have aggravated if I would have tried the exhaust…and, it’s raining out there and I hate to get wet so that is a plus, too….feel okay today with being good for the fourth day now and I may make it 5 today…I am getting used to feeling okay…well…okay but for the allergies that are killing me…had to take something for it in the middle of the day yesterday and that is not normal…not much to do today….just the car and the grocery run then back here for cooking and cleaning….more later….
