Well…there are more and more lies coming out of Romney again today..or maybe it was yesterday…who knows other than when he opens his mouth, you have a better than even chance to bet that it will be another lie…I still can’t understand that he doesn’t understand that there is videotape on all of this crap he is saying…I think he is counting on the fact that the media has gotten lazy and only a few reporters are trying to call him on this nonsense. The specific speech in the last couple of days took Obama to task; saying that the government stimulus actually held back the economy…spouting some weird, right wing propaganda that has no basis in economic fact. But the big lie is that, in 2009, he was on board with stimulus and the need for it in a severe downturn and made plenty of speeches that supported it….instead of an etch a sketch…people should be bringing flip flops to his rallies and waving them in the air…this man has no core…he learned nothing from that ivy league education…or he is just the worse sort of pandering liar that litters our political landscape these days…someone who would have been laughed off the stage 30 years ago…geez…

A trail update…
Well…with all that has been going on over the past couple of weeks, I ignored a couple of milestones that I do want to share….as of today, I went over 1100 miles for the year and it’s not even June yet…well ahead of any other year but it was the ridiculous early weather that got me the head start….and, this is the big one, I went over 10,000 miles on this bike since I bought it! I won’t do the tired cliches of how far that is in comparison…but it is a long way and I feel pretty good about it….only two short now….
May 29th
Well…the storms were a little disappointing last night but at least it’s not raining now…it was an okay day yesterday and I feel okay this morning with starting a no cocktail week…I do need to get moving quite fast today since i do need to go waste 2 or 3 hours at the Secretary of State’s office to get all of the car stuff straightened out….and then come back here to get off my butt and clean…I also have to go get a new shifter cable for the bike before the one I have breaks…maybe I’ll stop on the way back from errands…and I do have to do 4 of these today to get caught up and it looks like I may just make it without cheating, anymore, that is….but I’m not going to promise anything…more later…
Three short…
Well…it has been a scorcher today and I thought about going out to GH and then remembered it’s a holiday today and that would mean that the traffic would back up all the way to 196 and I just didn’t feel like sliding the clutch for 10 miles…so, it has been a day of just trying to get the calorie count back up to where it needs to be but saying healthy at the same time…the new neighbors have been moving in all day and they seem to be really quiet people so that is a plus….I was going to lie out in the sun again today but it’s just too hot for that so I’ll have to get evened out some time later…I do need to buy some 30 sunscreen for the car…I did figure out how to put the top down still in the seat but it is way too heavy to pull up with the condition of my shoulders…still only takes about a half a minute to get it up so that’s okay….okay, this is just filling but it is something…
Cheatin’ again….
Well…I am going to try to get to 60 so that means a return to cheating today…I am so screwed up today…it feels like a Sunday and I can’t shake it…cut the bike ride short since I was not feeling too swell and still don’t…don’t think I ate enough yesterday…you tell me…a brat, a hot dog, and two handfulls of chips…yeah, I know, it’s not enough but I still have that aversion to food that has hung on for the last two weeks since the crash…so I am going to make some Mexican food later today…maybe the spices will get me going and eating again….who knows…only three behind now….
May 28th
Well…it was too much racing yesterday and I don’t think I want to see another one for a while….other than that, I had an okay day but I am tired today and don’t really feel like doing anything…except trying to catch up with these but it looks like I may not make it to 60 for the first time since I started this thing…I will try but I’m not sure I can do it….there were no dreams last night or anything and I was up at 6 so that will mean a nap later in the day I hope…it is going to be almost 90 today and I may have to lie out in the sun to get some color….more later…
Still cheatin’…..
Well…I did not know how much I missed the bike rides until I got out on it this morning…it is such a mood elevator that after 3 miles I could actually smile again and started to feel so much better….the shifter is making me nuts but that will be fixed tomorrow if the bike shop is open….I am going to have to really watch it with the sun and the car since my head is already peeling from the test drive exposure and I really don’t need to get skin cancer from my car….there are still 1100 miles of racing to watch today and I’ve already seen two races…two more to go and I may even have a political one for you that popped into my head while I was out on the bike….
As I said, I need to cheat…
Well…I am five behind on these for the month and running out of days so I am going to cheat…and I’m not going to feel bad about it….have been looking at the radar and it looks like HL is getting drowned and I feel bad for T being up there for the weekend…I kind of wish it would storm here….but not in Indy since I do need to see the race….okay, going to go look at the radar again…nope, nothing in Indy so I have to get the bike ride in after Monaco….and it’s going to rain there in a minute so that will be neat to see….I did finally start to eat yesterday and that made this morning okay even with cocktails last night….okay, going back to the race…more later…
May 27th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and a cocktail night so I am feeling a little low today..but it is the day of the year for races with the GP2 race already done, then the F1 race is on in a few minutes, followed by Indy and then the world 600 later in the day…so you know what I’ll be doing today…I am going to try to wedge a bike ride in, too, since I fixed the flat but the shift cable is coming apart and I’m not sure if it will survive another day out….but, I am going to try it…but, right now, the coffee has just finished and I need to read the paper…more later…
Part two…
Well…with all of the events of this week and the resulting lack of motivation to do these, I find myself almost too far behind to catch up for the month so I’m going to do some cheating today….the car is growing on me as I drive it and that is a good thing..showed it to a couple of friends this morning and they were in love with it….I wonder if I should be concerned that it was a couple of gay guys? Nope….it is a cool car….I finally got to the grocery store this morning and got tons of foods in different varieties so I won’t be bored but I am still having the problem that nothing tastes good and I had to gag down a burger that I made for lunch…oh, well….I hope it does go away since I do need to eat…I may even skip the bike ride today since I haven’t fixed the bike yet and don’t feel like it….so, I think I’ll go back to the couch for a while and drink some more water….and wait for the race to come on…
