Scary drive this morning…

Well…man, the drive over to the plastic surgeon was as white knuckle as it gets and I don’t think I’ve driven in that kind of weather in years…visibility was down to zero in spots and I never got over 30 even on the expressway…and coming back it was even worse…at times the other cars disappeared into the snow and I couldn’t see them even when they were only 30 feet in front of me…lots of people had their emergency flashers on and I hadn’t ever seen that before…my car did okay except for the icy spots and I had a chore getting it going from a stop…but I just upshifted and it bit and I was even able to get back into the alley and into the garage even though there were 5 inches of snow in the alley…the surgery was pretty easy but I have 6 stitches in my face since they took an almost quarter sized chunk out of my cheek…now the waiting begins to see if it’s skin cancer or not…ick…

This is too funny…

Well…this is too funny…the idiots that made the Jeff Bezos financed propaganda documentary about Melania are now trying to release it into UK theaters and it is not going great…advance ticket sales can be counted on one had with most theaters that planned to show it having 0 advanced sales…I guess that there aren’t many maga assholes there willing to shell out their cash for this stinker of propaganda…and it serves Bezos right when he spent almost 30 million dollars to keep the idiot trump happy…I actually laughed out loud when I read about it in Kos this morning…good riddance…geez…

TACO in Minnesota…

Well…the rats are leaving the sinking ship in Minnesota with the head of CBP saying that he is “retiring” but it looks like more of a firing with his government social media accounts being blocked…and it couldn’t happen to a bigger asshole who called Alex Pretti, who was murdered by Dan Bovino’s thugs a “domestic terrorist” who was looking to “slaughter” ICE agents…but, of course, the people who videoed the murder showed us that Pretti was just trying to help a woman that the ICE thugs had pushed to the ground and pepper sprayed…and the ICE agents had Pretti’s legally carried pistol in their possession BEFORE they shot him 10 times in the back…everyone involved in this murder of an American citizen should be removed, up to and including the idiot trump…it looks like idiot boy is trying to save his ass by starting to withdraw the ICE thugs from Minneapolis but there is still another protest planned that will draw hundreds of thousands…and many Minneapolis residents have said that they feel it is their job to help protect their neighbors whether citizens or undocumented…good on ya, Minneapolis…geez…

January 27th

Well…that sucked…barely slept and tossed and turned all night and then gave up and got out of bed at 4:44…it’s snowing like crazy out there but I need to go out for the surgery this morning but I’m going to give myself time to get there since there is still ice all over the roads out here…and I’m going to start the car and let it run for 10 minutes before I leave to keep the windows from frosting over…since the surgeon is right next to meijers, I’m going to pick up the little bit of groceries I need before I come home…will have to shovel when I get back here but my back is not cooperating after all the shoveling…I’ll have to take an ibuprofen to get through it…at least it’s warm enough for the road salt to work finally but then it gets cold again Thursday…going to get the weight work and a ride in before I go and then do the 2nd one after I get back here…more later…

A trial of a day…

Well…I didn’t know that the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti were going to hurt so much…I am severely depressed about this…that thugs can murder anyone they choose and not be held accountable…okay, moving on…when I brought mail in yesterday, I had so much of it and my back hurt so much I had to sit down to read it…and the couch was filled with my laptop and other electronics…so I sat down on my coffee table and it just collapsed…I had repaired it multiple times so I wasn’t surprised…so now I’m using the maple top that used to be my stereo table sitting on a tub that I used to move with…that will work until I can get out to a 2nd hand store to buy a used one…might have to wait til it’s warm enough to put the top down…then this morning my computer froze up again and I spent an hour on the phone with Dell and we finally got it fixed…so today has been a bit of a trial and with the surgery tomorrow, that day should be, too…so no cocktails tonight…

Trump’s tantrum…

Well…after getting spanked by Mark Carney at Davos, the idiot trump has bee throwing a tantrum for two days now…threatening Canada with 100% tariffs if they do a deal with China… and guess what the tariffs will effect? Oil, gas, and lumber…if you think new homes are unaffordable now, doubling the price of lumber isn’t going to help much…and we get lots of oil and natural gas from Canada…guess what that will do to your heating bill…close to doubling it and that means that millions of people in the US are going to have to choose between heating or eating soon…and idiot boy doesn’t care…he just wants to hurt Carney since he pointed out how big a fool trump is…and the rest of the world’s leaders agreed with him…poor little tantrum boy…geez…

January 26th

Well…up damn early again today and I broke my coffee table sitting on it yesterday and that sucks…will need to find a thrift shop and buy another one this week…it has been coming a long time and I’ve been holding it together with wood glue but I think it’s past that…darn…just so darn worn out today and I’m not sure how much I’m going to do…it’s still only 10 degrees out there and I am tired of the cold…just another month and we should see some relief in March…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I’ve already tried to glue the table back together…not sure how it’s going to work but I had to give it a try…haven’t looked outside yet to see if it snowed overnight but I’m sure it has…but I had one day off of shoveling so I’ll have to take it…man, it’s going to be tough to get going today so I’m going to ease into it and just see how much I can do…more later…

A good day so far…

Well…it’s been a good day so far with getting two rides in along with the weight work before 9 am…and it didn’t snow! So I didn’t need to shovel today and that will be the rest day I’ve really needed…Man U played the best match in the past couple of years and beat the 1st place Arsenal 3-2…and that goes with beating City in the Manchester Derby last week…so now they are in 4th place and eligible for the Champions League later this year if they stay there…and I cooked chicken for lunch but I still couldn’t taste it…okay, just finished the next to last book and want to start the last one…

Another murder in Minneapolis…

Well…I really can’t believe I have to write another one of these but it happened so I do…yesterday there was another ICE thug murder of an American citizen…Alex Pretti was a VA ICU nurse who was there trying to help people that the ICE thugs were beating and they executed him by shooting him in the back 9 times…the thugs used the fact that he was legally carrying a pistol as their excuse but an ICE thug was seen running down the sidewalk with Alex’s gun before he was shot…and then ICE started hiding the evidence of what they’d done and abandoned the crime scene so the rest of the evidence was destroyed…it has gotten so bad that Minnesota has gone to federal court to get a restraining order against the federal government to keep them from destroying and more evidence…oh, and the coroner who inspected Alex’s body said he was shot in the back…this was clearly an execution because Alex was trying to help people and the ICE thugs can’t take it…this is another murder and these thugs need to be charged with it…at least the senate dems are going to do something about it by blocking funding for DHS and ICE until their invasion our cities stops…geez…

January 25th

Well…up and out of bed before 5 today and again, it’s getting damn old and I may have to do something about it tonight…had a nice visit with my son and his wife, and Art the dog yesterday and it was nice to see them…going to take care of Art for two days next week and will be staying in GR Monday night at their house since they are both going to be traveling…my daughter was in the hospital yesterday for more kidney stones and that sucks…had a gallstone attack when I was younger and it was the worst pain I can remember…watching the 24 hours of Daytona and they are under a yellow flag for hours now for heavy fog…it’s still damn cold here at 2 degrees and it needs to warm up soon but that’s not coming until later in the week…at least we didn’t get much snow but enough to shovel so I’ll be out later for that…took some chicken out of the freezer to cook today so I’ll be having a normal meal later with a baked potato and some veggies…didn’t eat enough yesterday with just a bowl of chili and a couple of eggs so I’ll have to do better today…not much to do today…need to get everything done before Man U plays at 11:30 but that should be easy….more later…
