Well…just go the test results of the ultrasound and everything is pretty normal…no masses in the liver and no cirrosis…no gall stones and spleen is normal so I’ll bet the high billirubin IS from being dehydrated…so, it looks I’ll live for a few more months anyway…probably the best results I could have hoped for…yay! and I just got a call from my doctor’s office confirming that there are no problems and nothing to do but check the levels in November…yay, again! Lucky day for me…

July 15th
Well…damn, I’m sore today after all of the work yesterday but today will be a little easier after I get done with the rides and the periodontist appointment…I do need to get started cleaning and I may run over to menards to get some lawn food to feed my burned out lawn with the rain that is supposed to be coming in the next few days…darn, I hurt so much that I just took an ibuprofen for the first time in a long time…it looks like a break in the weather Thurs with highs in the 70’s and we really need some relief….and I need to get some home defense bug killer since I’m getting lots of spiders and other bugs in here and the old stuff I have has a broken sprayer and that’s annoying…and a gallon of spectracide is only 6 bucks at menards…so maybe I’ll skip the beach today so I can get the food on the lawn and get the fridge and dining room cleaned…might be a good day to play a little vinyl while I work….going to get a 2nd cup of coffee down before I head out on the bike and that is going to happen before 7am…more later…
A busy, busy day…
Well…I really hadn’t planned to have such a busy day today but it turned out it was…started out with getting the two rides in and then decided to hit the beach for a swim and the water was just perfect so I was in it for a good 45 minutes…then back here for lunch and then made potato salad and right after that, I decided to get the yard work done so I took the cover off the car, fired it up, and drove it around the block hitting the brakes hard to try to get some of the rust off the rotors and then mowed where the car sits…after getting the cover back on it, I decided to mow the rest of the lawn and trim some branches off the trees…after that, I did laundry and just put that away…then put the trash trolley out and now I need to do my teeth and make ice…no cocktails tonight with the periodontist appointment at 10 tomorrow morning…oh, I forgot, ran out to DD to get more braunschweiger and a package of black forest ham and a pound of kielbasa…so now I just want to have a few minutes to read…this has been a really busy day…
Fraud is okay if you’re a repub…
Well…I guess it’s now official…if you are a repub and commit fraud, there will be no charges and you may even get a medal…just last week the incompetent AG Pam Bondi (you remember her, she was the AG of Florida who threw out charges against trump university in exchange for a 30K campaign donation) threw out charges against a surgeon (a repub, of course) who stole 28,000 dollars worth of covid vaccine and destroyed it…while he was selling thousands of fake covid vaccination cards and injected children with saline so they would think they had a vaccine when their parents didn’t want them vaccinated….then we have the case of Michell Fiore, a former Nevada state rep who stole money that was supposed to go to a slain police officers family but she took it to buy herself plastic surgery…pardoned…or Scott Jenkins, a Virginia sheriff who took bribes to drop charges against people and to sell sheriff’s credentials…pardoned…so now we know…repubs don’t have to follow the law at all…geez…
July 14th
Well…another night of pretty good sleep with not waking up til 5:14 and the being able to get back to sleep until after the coffee maker got going…but that leaves me late to get going and won’t be on the bike til 7 or so…and I do want to get out to the beach this morning to see if the water is warm enough to swim…my right elbow is still painful today and I’m not sure if it’s comforting or not that it’s the moving tendonitis that I’ve had for years…I do need to clean today and the goal will be to get the dining room done…we are under an air quality alert today and it has been on here for days now and I wonder if I’ll feel it on the bike this morning? I do need to mow the lawn to even it out this week but it’s basically dead…I’ll move the old car and probably drive it around the block just to get everything moving again…damn I need to sell it…or give it away….not much to do today…just need to get off my ass and get things done after the beach run and have 15 minutes before I need to get on the bike…more later…
An easy day…
Well…yeah, I know I should have been cleaning today but I just didn’t feel like it…so all I did was take an easy day and read after the rides…and watch races…the rides were good ones today and my right knee didn’t hurt at all as it has for the past two months…the damn motorcycle rally starts tomorrow and goes for a week with nothing but noise all the time…and we already have enough noise up here as it is…have the damn moving tendonitis that has settled in my right elbow that hurts like crazy when I use the weights or even lifting my water bottle…oh, well…I think I’ll hit it with some voltaren in a bit…I am going to go to the beach tomorrow but I’ll make it early and be back here to clean by noon or so…hope the lake has warmed up so I can swim again…okay, want to read a bit so I’ll stop here…
Epstein files are not going away…
Well…holy crap…the maga world is tearing itself apart with the realization that there is a cover up going on by the idiot trump and his cronies…after all, if there was nothing in them pointing to trump, he would be all over his crappy social media scam releasing all of them…and probably selling copies to fill his pockets…and now Glenn Beck has filed a FOIA request for any and all correspondence that deals with the cover up and not releasing the files…we need to hammer on this every damn day since the majority of the country really doesn’t like pedophiles and the people who enable them…and let’s remember that Epstein and his girlfriend were convicted of human trafficking of underage girls for many of the parties that the idiot trump attended…so, of course he’s going to use the entire government to keep any information of his crimes secret…let’s just sit back and watch the show…maga destruction is going to be sweet…gez…
July 13th
Well…damn, slept through the night last night and that is just so damn odd…sure don’t feel like I slept at all and I need to get on the bike in 9 minutes to get back here for the MotoGP race at 7:30…I’m getting pretty tired of rushing all the time…didn’t get much done yesterday but I need to get off my butt today and start cleaning to have this place done before Sat when my son and his wife are coming over with their dog Art to celebrate my birthday that happens this week…damn, I’m getting old…not looking forward to this week and all of the motorcycle crap that is going to go on all week…the biggest rally in the eastern part of the country and that means lots of racing around and noise…oh,well…and lots of money for the businesses downtown…not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get moving and that is harder than it looks…at least there is no wind today after the blow we had yesterday…getting old is hard…more later…
Good tacos…
Well…the chicken tacos I made came out really good and the new batch of pickled red onions was the kicker that put them over the top…so good that I even ate two of them for lunch and I probably should only had one…oh, well…and I have enough red onions to make another batch…I do need to test out the turkey bacon I got cheap at DD to see if I want to go back there and get more at 99cents a half pound…so, I’ll do that tomorrow for one meal…got everything done early today with the idea that I was going to read but the tv app that I use crapped out twice today and I wasted 3 hours getting my channels back…that really sucks and I hope that the changes my son made to it will fix the audio/video problems it has had lately…I do have my final periodontist appointment on my birthday next week and I’ll be glad to have that over…one cool thing that happened today was that I decided to open an look at my monthly mortgage statement and found out I owe less than 40K on it and that gives me at least 120K in equity and that sure makes me smile when 4 years ago I was broke…pretty cool…reading time…
The Epstein files…
Well…gee, one of the biggest clubs that maga used to beat on dems is now non-existent? Of course I’m talking about the files on Jeffrey Epstein, the pedophile pal of the idiot trump and the client list that was supposed to be released as soon as the honest trump got re-elected…but now it doesn’t exist and there is …nothing to see there…and the reason for that is that idiot boy is on it…do you think that the idiot who has been adjudicated to be a rapist didn’t rape underage girls at all of the parties with Epstein that trump has been photographed and videoed attending? Not a chance in the world and now all of trumpworld is working overtime to downplay, and I’ll bet they get to the point in a week or so where they will deny that Jeffrey Epstein ever existed..but does it even matter? The 33 felonies didn’t, and being adjudicated a rapist didn’t, and having mush for brains didn’t…nothing matters to the maga assholes who saddled this country with this moron…nothing matters anymore to the repubs…geez…
