Well…damn…running late this morning with not getting up til 5:41 and I’m already sweating just sitting here so I’m going to be drenched on the bike after the 2 rides…just poured the 1st cup of coffee and need to get that down quick to have some energy on the bike…this is leftover coffee from yesterday and I have made a new pot for the 2nd ride and out to the beach later…going to go out and get a swim in early to beat the crowds…can’t believe how busy it was at my beach in the middle of the week yesterday…every parking spot was filled and most of the beach…ick…didn’t get anything done yesterday but cook so I don’t have to today and I am looking forward to trying the taco chicken wraps I’ve been thinking about…need to make another batch of homemade pickles today, though, since I am almost out of them and they go good with sandwiches…the weather widget says rain in two hours but I think it’s wrong with looking at the radar and seeing that the storms are going to the north…I wish they weren’t since my lawn is crunchy from how dry it’s been…more later…

Another busy one…
Well…darn, it seems that every day is a busy one these days but I’m going to change that tomorrow…got the grocery runs in to 5 different stores and both bike rides…then out to the beach but not til almost 11:30 and that is too late for me…it got way too busy and people were waiting for cars to leave so they could park so I’ll go out tomorrow by 10 am and be back here before it gets busy…I do have to hit the library tomorrow since they are not open Friday and I have 5 books that can go back and get 5 more…and I’ll do that right after the rides at 9am….I did try to make iced coffee to take out to the beach but I think you need expresso to do it right…it was watery and didn’t taste much like coffee but it was cold and that was good with it 85 degrees out at the beach…the water was nice again but there was no one in it until I took a run and dove in…after I was in for a while, I think people figured out it was okay and lots of them went in….only had one meal today since I was too busy to eat but I did bake a couple of chicken breasts, cut them up, and hit them with taco seasoning that I am going to use for wraps tomorrow with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and pickled onions…it just seemed like that was a good combo but we’ll see tomorrow…maybe even some taco sauce for a little heat…okay, need to get ready for the US game at 8…
Petty bullshit…
Well…with the world cup going on right now…of course the idiot trump and his minions have figured out ways to abuse the trust that came with awarding the cup to the Americas…and that was shown no better than yesterday when the head of DHS cheered that Iran had lost and was heading home…this asshole cheered and said he did a little dance when he could pull the visas of the Iranian team and send them home…but this wasn’t the worst of it…the Iranians were singled out throughout the tournament with travel restrictions that no other team had…forcing them to travel back to Mexico after every match instead of staying at the venue of the next match like every other team was allowed to do…and this asshole called the team “terrorists” and said that he thought the Iranians were trying to smuggle in revolutionary guards as players…what the hell they were going to do with constant watching by his DHS thugs…this is just shameful and petty bullshit that no team would have to put up with…I think we should be banned from ever hosting another event and the Olympic committee should take a hard look and pull the 2028 Olympics from the US…geez…
July 1st
Well…still damn hot here and the temp never got below 76 but I slept okay…or no worse than normal and I feel okay today…going to be a busy morning and my sched may be screwed up by some storms that are forecast for around 10 but the NWS doesn’t have any rain in theirs so who knows? If it does rain, it will force me to make some decisions on the day that I wasn’t planning like do I do a 2nd ride and skip the beach? Sure don’t want to after the nice swim yesterday but I need to just let things happen and figure it out as I go…I do need to cook today and it looks like a pizza for lunch to use up the green pepper and aldis has baby bella mushrooms on sale and that will go good on it, too…thinking of another tray of chicken breasts that will give me options for the rest of the week…the DD ad hasn’t updated yet so I may just stop there on the way back from Meijers to see if they have any deals for the holiday…haven’t been there in weeks since their prices have now gotten to be just normal with no screaming deals like they used to have…I do need to stop at target since I need some new t-shirts to replace ones that have worn out and are too large for me anymore…so it will be a busy one that I need to get started right now…weight work will wait til later…more later…
