Well…running late this morning with my site being down when I got up…so I did the rides and went to the library first…up at a little after 5 this morning but was able to get back to sleep until after 6 so that’s not bad…allergies are still terrible and I’m still coughing so I may have to take something for it and I really don’t want to…I guess we’ll see…it’s going to be cool the next few days and I need to remember to close the basement windows since it’s barely going to get to 60…I’m curious to see what the big rain we got yesterday does to the lawn…there are patches of green in it instead of the brown it was all summer…but I think we’re going to need rain every few days to bring it back before winter…pretty sure I’m going to have to reseed a lot of it in the spring and that will be the big project for the year…not much to do today…just need to go over the kitchen and probably should flip the couch cushions today, too…more later…

Took it easier today…
Well…after filling the majority of the day yesterday with tasks, I took an easier day today with just the rides and reading…I did finish up the 5th book so I can get more tomorrow…it finally rained out here and heavy enough to turn my street into a river for the half hour it rained…I’ll bet we got close to an inch of rain in that half hour…rained so hard that it looked foggy and I could only see about a block in any direction…not sure if that will help my lawn much but it didn’t hurt it I’m sure…so tomorrow will be another easy one with just a little cleaning to do along with the bike rides and of course reading…time to get ready for tv…
It’s about time…
Well…with the idiot trump threatening to invade blue states with the army, a new idea on how to check his power is gaining traction across the country…with blue states financing a large majority of the federal government with some states sending over 4,000 dollars per capita over what they get back, it’s time for the blue states to shut of the tap of dollars going to the federal government…I mean why should blue states finance the invasion of their cities? And all of the red states are welfare states getting back 1.24 for every dollar they pay in taxes…so if the blue states want, they have the power to stop all of the illegality that idiot boy is doing…after all, trump and his cronies ignore the constitution every day and with California being the 4th largest economy in the world, if they just stop paying federal taxes the government will go into default and idiot boy won’t have any money for his bullshit…geez…
September 3rd
Well…I’m getting damn tired of my wake up times starting with a 5 and that has been going on for weeks now…and that is getting really old…the rain is coming in and it looks like I’ll be getting wet on the bike today…and cold weather is coming starting tomorrow with the high barely getting out of the 50’s for 4 or 5 days…but that is supposed to happen in September in Michigan…don’t have a lot to do today other than the rides and reading…have one last book in this batch so I’ll be heading to the library Thurs or Friday for 5 more…coffee…and lots of it is needed right now…going to do another covid test today to see if I’m still contagious…still coughing a bit but I think part of that is allergies with all the damn goldenrod along the trail…still have an hour before I need to get on the bike when it gets light so I’m going to sit here and have more coffee and read the news…think I’ll do the weight work before I get on the bike so I don’t have to think about that…more later…
Busy day…
Well…it was another busy day today with tasks that needed to be done all day…got the two rides in then did the grocery run and then cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom…and I still need to get the trash put together and out here in a few minutes along with all of the normal things I need to do to finish up the day like doing the dishes, making coffee, and making ice…at least I didn’t need to cook with the few days of leftovers left…but I do need to start to do some meal planning for later in the week…oh, and I went to the city offices to pay my property taxes and water bill…so yeah…it was a little busy today but I am finishing up right now so I can get a little reading in before I watch a little tv…out to do the trash…
Finally…
Well…a judge just ruled that the idiot trump and his minions violated the law when they sent troops into LA to “enforce” the law that no one was breaking…and he also ruled that they knew they were breaking the law and pointed out the weasel words they used as justification…the only problem is that the judge made it a narrow ruling that only applies to LA so when idiot boy sends troops into other dem cities, a new suit in that jurisdiction will have to be filed…so it looks like the good guys will be playing whack a mole for the time being or until someone files a lawsuit that has monetary damages attached to it…gee I wonder it this will be in the articles of impeachment when we retake the House? It should be…geez…
September 2nd
Well…darn…didn’t get out of bed til 6:42 this morning and that is going to make me late for the whole day….need to pay the water bill and my property taxes before I do the grocery run and need to get a bike ride in before that…so I need to get started by 7:30am and I’m going to need more coffee before that happens..pretty worn out today and I am so tired of being tired…oh, well…didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same unless I get off my butt and get going…this place needs cleaning but that seems like a daunting task right now….no wind again today so the rides should be easy….coming up on 700 days of riding every day and that is some kind of an accomplishment….but I’m not sure what kind…I just feel old today and need to get going…don’t need to cook today and won’t until late in the week and I’m still eating out of the freezer…going to take the last container of turkey soup out today so I can have that later in the week and that will open up space in the freezer to fill if anything is ever on sale…more later…
Didn’t do much today…
Well…it was a really easy day today and my son got emby working great and I can’t believe how much better the picture is on the tv…and the video and audio is synched up on every channel so that is cool with the soccer season getting going…and I won’t need multiple channels to be able to see the matches I want…just watch them like normal…and all for 39 bucks…I still can’t figure how how the Roku went so bad but didn’t quit altogether…so, all I did today was ride the bike and read and I needed a day like that after working on the new player for hours and hours Sunday….won’t have to cook for a few days but I’ll still be eating out of the freezer since there is no protein on sale this week…I have two bags of breaded pollock that should give me 5 meals or so and I do have two more containers of soup to thaw…time for tv…
Speculation…
Well…with the health of the orange idiot becoming a story since he hasn’t been seen in public since August 23rd other than a stumbling walk out to a car yesterday…and with his hugely swollen ankles showing up over the past few months I’ll speculate that he is having heart problems which would fit with his obesity, lack of exercise, and diet that is just about all fast food….even those on the right have started to plan for him not making it through his term…but if he is that sick or infirm, don’t the people have a right to know? He has been stumbling around for years and yet the media just continues to give him a pass…do you remember how every day there were stories about Biden’s health? That is because big media is now all owned by billionaires and they just need to keep him alive until they can steal the entire country…but I’d bet you 10 bucks he won’t make it though the term…any takers? Geez…
September 1st
Well…up at 5:36 this morning and that is too damn early…haven’t slept well for so long I don’t even remember it anymore and that sucks…I am so worn out from getting the new equipment going yesterday that it’s going to be a chore getting going today…I do need to run an errand after the rides this morning but I really don’t want to do anything right now…but I have over an hour before I need to get on the bike so I hope the coffee is working before that…don’t have to cook today with making the Masala yesterday but I do need to plan for later in the week…it’s warm enough to get out in shorts today and that is a welcome change from the past few days when I had to put long pants on…have lots of pain going on today with every damn joint feeling like it’s full of sand…so maybe there will be an ibuprofen in my future…damn, coughing again and I guess I’m not over the covid yet or maybe this is really allergies again…might have to do the grocery run tomorrow to avoid the rain that is supposed to happen Wed…but I just want to sit here and have more coffee….more later…
