Well…I would laugh but I won’t enjoy anyone being exposed to this damn virus…but there is a little irony in the fact that the coronavirus has reached the WH with at least two confirmed positive cases there and quite a few people going into self-isolation with their exposure to those people….but, the idiot pair of pence and trump still refuse to wear masks since neither one of them understand how the virus is transmitted with the idiot in chief commenting that he was “surprised” that a person can test negative for a long time and then all of a sudden they are positive…cripes, that’s how viruses work you moron….and today, idiot boy is having another one of his fascist rally/virus presentation photo ops in the Rose Garden when he doesn’t have a clue who may be carrying the virus…and it can be spread before it shows up on the test…but he is too stupid to understand that so on he goes…putting more people at risk just so he can get his ego fluffed and showing just how much he doesn’t care about anyone but himself…he just needs to be gone….

Well…that was a mistake…didn’t take any allergy meds before bed last night and I am miserable this morning with all of the usual symptoms but even worse than normal…so, I am going to suffer all day until I can take something tonight as I need to make the meds last a while…what a pain in the butt…and I didn’t sleep either so I am grumpy today…and feeling like crap….I did get two rides in yesterday and that is the only thing I did all day other than cook…but today is going to be a one ride day with the temp only getting up to 50 or so and feeling so worn out….I may get out to start prepping the trim on the front and side of the front porch so I can paint it later in the week when it warms up but I may just wait until it warms up Wednesday…I do need to get out to get my tomato cages tomorrow along with some potting soil so I can get at planting Thursday with the end of the frost…I did have the first couple of garlic plants come up in the overflow garden yesterday but something is digging in it and I found black sunflower seed shells all over it that must have been buried there before I planted…weird….not much to do today…coffee, coffee, and more coffee first and then I’ll just ease into the day…don’t have the energy to do much else….more later…
The toddler in the WH is having a sad…
Well…the poor baby squatting in the WH is having a sad over his sinking electoral prospects and is moping around because no one is doing anything about it…he’s not having a sad because 80,000 Americans have died from his incompetence and bungling…nope, that would need idiot boy having empathy for anyone but himself and we all know he doesn’t….and he has made the choice to stop any federal response to the virus since that would emphasize that he is a lying sack of shit who is killing almost 3,000 Americans every damn day. The new plan for repubs in general is to deflect from their part in this massacre by leaving trump in office when he was clearly guilty and incompetent….and blaming everything on China and Obama if you can believe it…and they are even going back the old chestnut of Russia’s proven interference in installing trump was nothing but a hoax…and idiot boy tweeted over 120 times just today…and not one thing about 80,000 dead, just conspiracy theories and hate…not something that a sane person would do. So, I’m happy that this frickin moron is having a sad…hey trumpy bear, you ain’t never seen sad until your sorry ass is out of office and in jail…NY state is still coming for you and there is not a damn thing you can do about it…
May 10th
Well…okay, that was early…running a little late today with getting out on the bike by 7:10 to try to beat the rain and almost did…it was spitting rain the whole 15 miles but I didn’t get too wet and it was over 48 so I could even go out in shorts….but that hot shower really felt good since the temp was borderline…feels good to get a ride in that early but I’m not sure if there will be a second one today with rain supposed to be on an off all day…but, we’ll see….slept okay last night and didn’t get out of bed til 6 but woke up at 4:30 and then tried to sleep again without much success…so crap…that only means 5 hours or so of sleep and we’re getting back to that again…I did just notice that my left shoulder is not hurting anywhere near as much as it had been but I think the tendonitus moved over to my right elbow since that hurts and is stiff again…I do have two of the garlic cloves that I planted that have sprouted but none of the other seeds I planted have yet…but with upper 60’s to 70 weather coming, I think I’ll get some of them to grow….I do have to get out to depot this week to get my tomato cages and some potting soil to put some plants in buckets in the back yard and that needs to happen before I plant Thursday with the weather breaking for good and the nighttime temps over 40 from there on out….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same but I am going to make a pizza for lunch since I was able to find yeast this week…and how I make them, they really are pretty healthy…I even use turkey pepperoni so there is no fat in it all…and the rest of it is just veggies…oh, I do use real cheese so I guess that’s bad for you but I can live with that….more later…
Idiot boy is scared of the mail…
Well…the deranged squatter in the WH went off on another twitter rant today about the idea that there must be a scam involved since California lets people vote by mail…which they have for years…and he is so damn dumb and addled that he doesn’t get that Californians can vote in person, too if they want…..ranting that they opened A voting booth in a democratically controlled area so the dems just have to be cheating…cripes…project much? Look dimwit…if you had half a brain and weren’t so damn ignorant, you would know that most states have varied ways to vote…as here in Michigan where we have no reason permanent absentee voting where anyone can request an absentee ballot and they don’t need a reason to request it…due to a citizens initiative that passed in 2018 but we also have in person voting for those who want to vote that way…I know what you’re scared of with mail in voting…you even said the all too rare bit of truth when you commented that a repub would never be elected again if there is universal mail in voting….that the repubs can’t suppress or play their voter ID games with…with this asshole still squatting in the WH and spewing his ignorance, it feels like we’re all in an abusive relationship…and it is so damn tiring…can November come quickly?
Yep…I’m late…
Well…yeah, I’m really late with this one but I have been out of synch all day and I’m not sure why….the day just feels weird to me and a little off…and I lost two of the four tomato plants I had out last night even though they were double covered…I guess 24 degrees is just too much for them…and I’ll probably lose the other two in the next four days that it is going to be below freezing…but, I have four more going downstairs so I guess it’s no big deal other than I’ll be behind where I wanted to be….and I planted beans and sunflowers downstairs too just to make sure I can get them to come up…the garden is looking to be a bust along with the flowers out front but I’m only out about 10 bucks so I can live with that…my day is so screwed up I didn’t even eat lunch until 2:30 and that normally happens by noon or so…it’s hard to eat when I don’t get rides in since I can’t afford to not offset the calories with a ride…and I only did one today with the wind blowing over 20…it was really brutal out there on the way out into the wind….and it wasn’t warm enough to go out again…the cold ride this morning left me freezing all day and I am just now getting to feel warm again..okay, yeah, no political one today…again, haven’t even been able to get through the news to find a topic…and that is not me either….okay, think I have a topic….
May 9th
Well…26 degrees…in frickin May…record cold that I can’t remember ever happening before…and I’m old…that’s just depressing….but, after the next 5 days, the weather is supposed to get back to almost normal and I am going to be able to plant my veggie garden…finally…feel pretty crappy this morning after having cocktails last night but I don’t hurt as much as I did the past few days and I hope taking the day off the bike yesterday will help that too…but I am going to get out later today after it gets over 42 so I can go out without gloves or a stocking hat….used up the last of the bird food yesterday and saw something pretty cool….some young sparrows that were being fed seed by their mother on my window feeder…have never seen that before…I did have an almost no work day yesterday but it was harder than I expected…and boring, boring, boring…the day seemed like it lasted forever and my guilt about doing nothing welled up all day to the point where it wasn’t too enjoyable….so, not going to do that today…probably won’t do a lot but I will do some stuff….have cleaning and laundry to do and I may bake a loaf of bread since I was able to find yeast at Meijers and I have some bread flour that I can use….I did cover the 4 tomato plants that I have outside but they were looking pretty scraggly even before the cold so I don’t think they are going to survive it….so I planted 4 more seeds that just came up and I will be able to plant those in their place….more later….
It’s 9:10 and I’m bored…
Well….this is going much as I expected…it’s 9:10 and I’m bored already…so, that’s why I’m back here already…think I’ll do some short takes and see what happens…if you needed any reason to delete facebook, Zuckerberg just got on board with the idiot trump and has started to remove opposition ads from the Lincoln Project that tell the truth about trump and his bungling of damn near everything…so, unless you want to support trump and his cronies, stop using facebook…I have…now, that latest on the idiot is that he has ordered the “re-opening” guidance from the CDC suppressed, not that it is wrong or anything but just that it will make trump look bad since it directly contradicts what idiot boy has been saying and would give the opposition more ammunition that trump is in over his head….every damn thing is politics to this asshole…he doesn’t care one whit about Americans dying, just his re-election…but, I’ve said that before as has everybody in the fact based community…..look, we all know that idiot boy is delusional but his latest ad that uses praise from Putin is otherworldly delusional and stupid….who is it aimed at? His base could be the only target since no one on the left thinks having Putin as your buddy is an argument that will carry the day after Putin installed the wrecking ball in the WH….what else? Okay, that’s enough for now even though I’m bored…will probably be back here for a few more today since I need to be doing something, anything to stave off the boredom…
May 8th
Well…it’s day off day! For the first time since I can remember, I am going to take the day off from everything…no bike rides, no work outside, no nothing….just a total veg day of tv and music and fooling around…okay, that sounds ridiculous, if you know me at all you’ll know that not doing anything is not possible for me…so, as the day goes on, I’ll get antsy and start thinking of a project to do and then get going doing something…but it is a good thought with how much pain I was in yesterday…and the pain continues today but the ibuprofen knocked it down enough to where I don’t have to limp around here anymore….so maybe today will be planning the rest of the projects I have to do outdoors…and starting on getting the doors off the linen closet so I can paint them and finish the interior…see, I can’t just do nothing….but I am going to veg it a little this morning and ease into the day with coffee and some tv playing in the background….but I am going to take the day off the bike since I am not going to go full thermasuit with gloves in May….and my legs can use the rest….more later….
Another too busy day….
Well…as I just said in the previous post, it has been a busy day and I am sore damn near everywhere but I am waiting to take something for it til the normal time at 7 since I missed the window this afternoon when I really should have take something…as I said, it was a busy today with running an errand early, then on the bike for the first ride, painting the trim on the front of the garage, making lunch, back on the bike for another hard 15 miler in the howling wind, then mowing the lawn after I got back, some yard work, and then making a big ham for dinner…and then cleaning a bit inside. So, I am worn the hell out and it really hurts to move at all…must have used new muscles to balance on the ladder and paint…even painted left handed for some of it since it was a pain to climb down and move the ladder….but, the garage looks good so it was worth it….and the grass seed I put in out front has started to come up and fill in the bare spots so I have hope that I’ll have a lawn by the end of the summer….I am kind of happy that none of my overflow garden seeds have come up yet…that keeps me from having to cover them with the lows reaching the 20’s over the next couple of days…and my flower seeds out front haven’t come up either so maybe I’ll have timed it right…we’ll see…all I know is I think I’ve earned cocktails and tv tonight with all of the work this week…I need some mindless vegging to recover…after all, doing 30 miles a day for the past 14 days in a row takes a lot out of me…so I’m taking tomorrow off the bike and using the cold coming in as an excuse….just for me…
