Well..after getting better sleep last night, I got off my butt today and got some things done…got a bike ride in and then took the car out to hand wash it at the car wash and try to get some salt off it….then back here for another ride, and then made an olive burger for lunch and did a little more cleaning and I now have dinner in the oven which is going to be two chicken legs and a roast potato…I’m basically done for the day other than doing the dishes and watching some tv later…not sure what that is going to be yet but I think “Battlebots” will be first and then down to second an third tier stuff for the rest of the night…used up all of good stuff last night with “1923” and “The Last of US” so maybe I’ll go out to netflix ans see if there is something out there before I cancel it….

This is nuts…
Well…if you wanted to know how crazy the repubs have gotten in Missouri, just listen to this one…just yesterday they voted down and amendment to a bill in the repub controlled legislature that would have prevented children from open carrying firearms…so now I guess it’s legal there for toddlers to carry AR-15’s…can you imagine the carnage that would happen if you allow hormonal teenagers to carry around hand guns or semi automatic rifles? This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard…don’t they remember what it was like to be a teenager? The fights? Now let’s add a deadly weapon into that mix…red states really are become terrible places to live and I can see a mass exodus out of them as they continue to go down the crazy path….geez…
February 10th
Well…slept through til 5:04 this morning and was able to go back to sleep til almost 7 so I’ll consider that a win…but I still feel pretty worn out today so the bike will wait til around 9 or so…just started the first cup of coffee so it will take a while to work this morning…if it does, I may get on the bike by 8 so I can wash the car today….need to look outside to see if the precip last night was rain or snow since the little weather widget on the banner is saying wintry mix but it is 35 out there…nope it just changed to 33 so it could be snow…don’t even feel like getting up to look out the window and my back hurts for some reason today even without doing anything yesterday…..I did have a meal and a half yesterday but they were small ones and today will be the same…going to make chili tomorrow and then start to plan what has to come out of the freezer…froze most of the burger I got at aldis this week but I did keep a couple of pounds out since I haven’t had any beef in a few months….not much to do today….just going to ease into it and have coffee here for a bit before I head down for the first ride…it’s going to be a struggle to do two today but I am going to try….more later…
Took a veg day…
Well…took a veg day today and didn’t get on the bike…just wasn’t feeling it and didn’t even get to a shower until after 2pm…my legs hurt much more than normal and I was hobbling around here and still am…but now it’s from sitting here all day and not doing anything…it has rained out here all day and most of the snow is gone so now we just wait for more…I am going to try to wash the car tomorrow morning since it has salt all over it and I can barely see out of the windows…and I will get back on the bike for two rides tomorrow…I may do the car between them since all this rain has washed the salt off the roads…or I could do it sat morning but would rather get it done while everyone else is working….right now, I’m going to start to wind down for the night…going to use up all of my good shows tonight and the go back to the second tier shows tomorrow…..
They do know there is video, right?
Well…yeah, I’m really late today with taking the day off to lie on the couch and watch movies…but I did want to talk about the stupidity of the repubs when it comes to video evidence of what they say…I mean they do know there is video, right? It started Tuesday when Biden called them out on their plans to eliminate SS and Medicare…and they all complained loudly that they never said they were going to do that…cue the video…so today, reporters kind of did their jobs and had the tape ready when the asked Mike Lee if he was going to cut those popular and vital programs and he again denied it…so they rolled the tape and the idiot just got pissed and walked away…I saw this happen a couple of times in my feed over at Mastodon and I can understand why they keep lying…after all, not one damn repub has been held accountable for their lies so they will just keep doing it unless the media elevates the truth and continues to confront them with it…and the rest of the dems need to “Biden up” and do the same…oh, and I’ll copyright “Biden Up” tm…I thought that one up right now…
February 9th
Well…that was a little better…up at 5:04 but stayed in bed til 6:23 but that was not enough to make up for the sleep deficit from Tuesday night so I am dragging this morning…I did get the house cleaned up yesterday for Tom’s visit and it was nice to see him and Lucy…only did one ride yesterday but need to do two today…was going to wash the car but it is raining out there right now and it looks like it will be going on for quite some time…so that may wait til tomorrow…I did make some guac yesterday but the avocados were so bad I had to throw half of them away…I guess that’s what you get for 49 cents each….only had about 600 calories yesterday with one chicken leg, half a baked potato, and some corn…okay, nope, that’s only about 400 calories so that could be why I’m so worn out today…I wonder if this is going to be a day off? Sure don’t feel like doing anything today…the weather widget at the bottom of my screen has a new one today with “heavy mix” that I’m assuming means it’s just cold enough to make the heavy rain turn into kinda snowing….not much to do today…did the laundry and cleaned yesterday so it may be the day to just veg it out and take it easy…but you know I won’t…at least I’m not sore today….more later…
This a little funny…
Well…yesterday, when I had an old 60’s private eye show called “Mannix” running in the background, the main character walked into a bar and some familiar music was playing…”Bluebird” by Buffalo Springfield…and the cool thing was they were actually on the show playing it…and even weirder was that I saw that clip on a news site just a few days before…you couldn’t see them very well but I got glimpses of Stephen Stills playing in front and of Neil Young standing on the back of the stage next to the drummer looking like he didn’t want to be there…still cool to see them doing something other than “For What it’s Worth”….
State of the Union…
Well…just want to do a short one on the State of the Union address that Joe Biden did last night…and all I can say is wow! I think it was easily the best one he’s ever done and he toyed with the repubs through the whole thing…getting them to promise to not cut SS or Medicare…but we know they are liars so you can’t believe they will keep their word…he did a great job of making people understand the accomplishments of his administration and that is borne out in the polls taken afterward that showed the approval for it at a whopping 72%….and even almost 50% of repubs approved of it…but that didn’t stop the trolls like MTG yelling at Joe while he was doing the speech…acting like the spoiled little toddlers they are…I hope that the people on our side understand that Joe would still be the strongest candidate for 2024…he’s not senile, he’s not “losing it”…yeah, he is 80 but damn what a speech…
February 8th
Well…damn, that sucked…woke up at 3:04 and then tossed and turned for 3 hours until I gave up at 6:23…I am so damn worn out that I may not get on the bike today but we’ll see later…it’s going to be a chore to do the grocery run today and I can’t get to that until 8:30 with needing to get some allergy meds but the pharmacy doesn’t open til 9 so I’ll hit Aldis first….and the means a run over to Sternberg road today since the Aldis over there opens at 8:30….I think I need to take a day off soon and just take it easy but it’s easier to just stay on schedule….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to do laundry today and cook…making some chicken legs for lunch and I need to figure out if I’m staying with the one meal a day or if I’m having two…it feels like my energy level is pretty low from only eating one yesterday so I’m not sure if it’s sustainable….I wonder if spring is coming early this year with all of the snow melting yesterday and no sub freezing temps in the forecast for the next 10 days….haven’t had any birds on the feeder for the past few days and that is a little strange…have had flocks of them this winter and it has been pretty entertaining…not much to do today…just the grocery run and laundry but how I feel right now, that will be enough…more later…
Had work to do today…
Well…when I got off the bike for the first ride, I had some work to do over at mastodon since it had gotten very political in my feed and I didn’t want that…I did remember that the changes happened when I followed a few people that appeared to do nothing but boost posts all day long which cluttered up my feed…after unfollowing them, it is back to what I wanted it for…to talk to people and see what other people are doing in their lives…I did get the second ride in and, with having toast with peanut butter early, I’m only going to have one meal today….so I have the dishes done and only have to set up the coffee maker for tomorrow morning….just wrote checks for another 600 bucks today for my house insurance and electric bill and that brings the spending to 1600 bucks out of the 5 grand I’m going to spend by the end of the month…and that’s extra outlay over and above the normal bills so I guess the electric bill shouldn’t be included….
