Well…I’m already getting sore from the outdoor ride yesterday and my right thumb is howling at me and I’ll have to treat it in a few minutes since the pain is not movement related…slept okay last night but still feel worn out…as I always do…and that is getting old…got a lot done yesterday but I’m taking it easier today…probably won’t do an outdoor ride today with the rain that is going on right now and it will continue all morning…got too damn dirty on the bike and it was so bad that the fenders didn’t help at all…oh, well…it is nice that the door frame is done and I have cleaned up the basement and put all the tools away so no work down there today…or maybe some cobweb patrol and cutting up some boxes…I do need to finish up the last book today so I can go to the library tomorrow after the grocery run and get more books…not sure what food I need since I still have a tray of chicken breasts that I haven’t opened but I am going to do stir fry with some of them…an I want to get some corned beef from aldis to do corned beef and cabbage….I’m part Irish after all…more later…

Busiest day in a while…
Well…man, it has been a busy day today with starting off with two rides indoors, then finishing off the door frame…and I think it came out okay for using cheap wood and not working with it for years along with how crooked this house is…then I did get an outdoor ride in but the bike got so covered in crud that the rear shifter seized up about a mile away from here and I had to ride it back here in 24th and that is no fun…so then I had to drag the hose up from the basement and clean it but then I noticed the shift indicator had broken so I had to take the shifter on the handlebars apart and replace that with one from the black bike but I do need to see if I can find a replacement…it looks like everything is working again but I’m not sure I want to get the bike that dirty again…it was fun to ride outdoors and I may have to stay on the street to keep everything working again…the trail along Muskegon Lake still had 2 feet of snow on it so it will probably be April before it’s clear…oh, well…
Fake tough guys against a real tough guy…
Well…I don’t think I’ve ever seen so much damage done to the US’s prestige in the world that infamous WH meeting from Last Friday…and the crux of the whole thing was that the idiots trump and vance just play tough guys on tv while Zelenskyy is an actual tough guy who is fighting a war…and he put ole jd in his place when jd kept pushing Z to sign a cease fire agreement that is being negotiated without Ukraine’s participation at all…and Z looked at him and asked “how many cease fire agreements do you think we’ve had with Russia since 2014? * of them and Russia broke every one…so why do you think now would be any different?” Ole jd then went off about the “lack of respect” that Z was showing him like he deserves any at all…you can’t bully a real tough guy but I think the idiots believe they can…how did that work out for you idiots?
March 3rd
Well…darn, another day of accomplishments that I have to get going on here in 5 minutes or so but I just poured the first cup of coffee and I really want that to work before I get started…slept okay last night and didn’t crawl out of bed until 6:30 or so but still no dreams to speak of and I’m not sure why that is….when I sleep okay I normally have little snippets of them but it was just black last night…oh, well…I am going to finish up the door frame today and try to get an outdoor ride in but it is supposed to rain the next three days when it’s warm enough to ride outdoors and that sucks…but any time I can get out in March is unusual since there is always still ice everywhere…man, I feel worn out today even with only doing two rides yesterday and my allergies are off the charts…I feel so damn crappy today even with having two meals yesterday so getting going is going to be a struggle…but I don’t have to cook with lots of leftovers in the fridge…have to remember I have a green pepper for the chicken burritos and for the stir fry I’m making later in the week…damn, it’s snowing out here and I am so tired of it that it’s depressing me…oh, well…need to get moving…an I sure don’t want to…more later….
Took it easy today…
Well…damn I feel pretty guilty with only doing two rides today and having two meals….and I didn’t work on the frame at all but I’m going to finish it tomorrow along with gettingĀ an outdoor ride in….I did start the Harlan Coben novel that he said not to read but it’s not bad…reminds me of my first novel that I wrote out on legal pads longhand…and it is pretty cool to see how it all started…when I find a new author that I like, I try to go back and find the first one they wrote to see how they’ve evolved over time…okay, this one is just to keep on pace with 3 posts I need to do every day….but I’m done for the day…
Zelenskyy embarrasses trump…
Well…justĀ a shorty on how badly Zelenskyy embarrassed the idiot trump in their meeting Friday..and that is boiled down to this quote…”Mr. trump, you are increasing the volume of your voice but not the logic of your argument” basically saying that the idiot yelling shows that he is stupid as shit and is out of his depth when dealing with a true statesman…and I am still laughing about that…and that is the reaction of the entire world…they are laughing at idiot boy as I’ve advocated for quite a while now…and he can bloviate all he wants and that is still the fact…what a maroon as the cartoons used to say…geez…
March 2nd
Well…damn, I’m running late this morning and need to get on the bike in 25 minutes to be able to get three rides in before Man U plays at 11:30…and the indy car race is on at noon and nascar later so there won’t be any work done today…and I didn’t have enough leftover coffee to even try to jumpstart my body so I had to make some pour over to get me going…woke up a little before 6 today but I tried to stay in bed for a while longer with no luck…and with only doing one meal yesterday, I’ll have an energy deficit that will last all day…it’s only 22 degrees out there but I looked at the 10 day weather and we are going to be getting to 56 next week and that is shorts and t-shirt weather on the bike…I am going to try to get outdoors tomorrow in full thermasuit just to see a few things and what has changed…I do need to do some service on the outdoor bike to get it ready…air in the tires and chain lube along with lubing the swing arm….not much to do today…and I really want a day like that but riding 24 miles is much to do and I don’t know how to do anything else….more later…
What a day…
Well…today did not start well…when I poured the first cup of coffee every morning, I like to hit it with a splash of milk just as I did today…but, I probably should have checked the milk since it went off overnight and I was pouring chunks…and the weird thing is that the coffee tasted normal and the chunks just sunk to the bottom of the cup and didn’t dissolve…still had to pour out a cup and that meant I was short a cup and I’m still feeling it right now 4:30pm…I did get three rides in, shoveled the snow…and yes, we got 4 inches more snow last night and it was only 17 degrees when I went out to shovel at 9:30…after that I went back down and got the third ride in and then baked bread and made Masala…didn’t get done with the cleanup until almost 2 pm and, with not eating until a little after one, I’m not making another meal today so that will be two days in a row of one meal so I will have to eat two tomorrow but I won’t have to cook…no work on the frame today and I’ll probably skip tomorrow too…need a day off…okay, more reading…
No fuel for you…
Well…after the trump shitshow in the WH yesterday, the fallout has started and this one made me laugh…one of the largest oil suppliers to US navy ships in Norway has said “no fuel for you” and has stopped selling oil to the US…and they pulled no punches saying explicitly that it is because of the treatment of Zelenskyy by the idiots trump and vance…and they are urging other counties to do the same and I’m pretty sure that boycott is going to be pretty popular since other countries have weighed in with support of the company…make it jet fuel next…no fuel for air force one…ha,ha
Shameful…
Well…I know I constantly harp about how shameful the actions of the idiot trump and his cronies are but it seems that every day they do dig the hole even deeper…so, I’ll say it again…if you thought they couldn’t get more shameful, you were wrong after their performance at a meeting with the Ukrainian president yesterday…where the idiot praised putin, attacked Zelenskyy, and told him that Ukraine was losing the war…it wasn’t even really a meeting but an ambush by idiot boy and vance to try to embarrass him to benefit putin and they kept spewing Russian taking points all day…and the idiot basically abandoned Ukraine and with that, made it clear to the world that you can’t depend on the US while the idiot is in charge and has done more to lower our standing in the world than even the last time…good job maga voters…geez…
