Well…with ole elon propping up trump to the tune of 50 million dollars and counting, someone went into his background and found that he broke the law and lied about it when he was applying for citizenship here…when he came here from South Africa, he got into the country on a student visa…but the problem with that is he never signed up for any courses and then got a job here on that student visa which is illegal…and when he was applying for citizenship he lied about how he got into the country in the first place…and many, many times before, naturalized citizens have had their status revoked and were deported for lying when applying for citizenship…at the very least, the revelation that he has had regular phone calls with putin should cause his security clearance to be revoked and then SpaceX should be confiscated, especially since it was learned last week that he has been helping the Russian army attack Ukraine by providing internet access to them through his Starlink satellites…this is traitorous, helping an enemy of the US is the very definition of treason and he should be locked up for that…I’ve had enough of trump loving billionaire immigrants like elon, murdoch, and thiel who come here promising to live by the constitution and then do their best to subvert it at every turn..geez…
November 1st
Well…damn, another month starts and I’m so darn worn out that I just want to go back to bed but I won’t…just poured the first cup of coffee and it’s already 7:30 so this is going to be a day of struggle to get going…it’s not going to get to 50 out there so it looks like a short day on the bike…I am so tired of having a schedule every damn day…so I wonder if I should get the thermasuit out for the first time and get a cold outdoor ride in today? I’ll have to think about that…I really do need to put the last food on the lawn today since we have lots of rain coming in the next few days…might get up to two inches starting Sunday so I guess I could wait til tomorrow…didn’t get anything done yesterday but cook so I’ll have to get off my butt today and clean the bathroom…and I only have 9 minutes before I have to get on the bike downstairs and I sure don’t want to…but I will…going to have leftover chicken and scalloped potatoes for one meal today but I’m not sure what the second one will be…maybe the bean burritos I’ve been thinking about…who knows? More later…
Number 100…
Well…I had every intention of taking it easy today and only doing 2 rides downstairs for 16 miles and then making scalloped potatoes and chicken for lunch…the potatoes came out only okay with something missing from them…I think it’s too much flour for the roux so next time I’ll cut that back on that…after lunch the wind came down and the rain stopped so I suited up for a ride outdoors that wasn’t bad so when I got back here, I got right back on the bike for number two and about a mile out a squall came through with high winds and stopped me dead as it started to pour and that kept up for a couple of miles until the wind slowed and the rain stopped…and then the ride was okay again…so that was a 41 mile day that started out as an easy one…and this is the 100th post here this month…and that is a lot…no more later…
This is too funny…
Well…with men on the right spewing that they have the right to tell their wives/significant others how to vote and making sure their wives understand the threat that comes with them “betraying and undermining” their men, of course the Harris campaign has a new ad out there targeting this misogynist bullshit…giving women the permission structure to vote for Kamala instead of the orange ogre…some of these assholes are even equating voting different from their husbands as “cheating” on them…and that comment came from Jesse Watters from fox news who cheated on his first wife with his current wife…and a former trump WH advisor has gone farther saying that women should have their right to vote “revoked” if they are going to vote against their husbands…this is pure christian right wing bullshit that says that women should “submit” to their husbands in every decision made in a family…and it is one reason that women are going for Harris by the largest margin in history…and no matter how much they deny it, the idiot trump’s team doesn’t understand that the removal of women’s rights by the ending of Roe is still one of the most important reasons to vote dem in this election since the dems are the only party that will protect women’s rights from the kind of attacks that have come from everyone on the right…geez…
Might get outdoors for a ride..
Well…it is so strange how the wind was howling one second out here and then just stopped…it is barely blowing right now and the rain has moved out so, after the scalloped potatoes are done and I have lunch, I’m going to go out for at least one ride…already have two rides in downstairs so there could be a potential for 41 miles today and that would be pretty cool…okay, you know what this one is for…trying to get to 100 of these for the month so there is going to be some filler for the next three…I still can’t believe that I bought so much fruits and veggies this week and now I need to figure out the meals that are going to come from them..and I do need some of the cauliflower, celery, and carrots raw so that is my new snack thing..veggies dipped in buttermilk ranch dressing with three or four drops of hot sauce in it…man, that is good…and it doesn’t have the salt the pretzels were killing me with…the potatoes are bubbling so I’m going to stop here and read some news…yeah, I know, the those two things have nothing to do with each other…more later…
October 31st
Well…I think I need an easy day today after all the work yesterday and the 30+ miles of riding every day for the past month…and the weather is going to cooperate with rain coming in from the south soon and wind that is even more crazy than yesterday…the branches are just whipping around so I’ll just do a couple of indoor rides and let my body rest a bit….I just laughed when I opened the fridge to get milk for my coffee and saw all the veggies I bought yesterday along with the apples sitting on the table…can’t remember buying 4 kind of veggies in a week before…actually 5 if you include the onion…nope, 6 with the potatoes…have all the ingredients for potato soup, too…so that may be for tomorrow…pretty damn sore this morning but I slept okay so I guess I can live with it…just found the recipe for scalloped potatoes I was looking at the other day and it looks pretty easy so that will get made for lunch with a chicken leg quarter…don’t have room in the air fryer for both so I’ll get the chicken in first after the rides and then prep the potatoes as it cooks…not much to do today…I do need to clean the bathroom today and will get to that after lunch…I do need to remember that this is an easy day and take some time for myself…more later…
Survived the wind on the bike…
Well…for the second day in a row I had to ride outdoors in a gale warning but today was quite a bit windier than it was yesterday and it was a lot of work but I like being out in the strong elements like storms, blizzards and wind…started the day with an indoor ride…then out to groceries where I filled up on veggies but bought some chicken leg quarters at aldis for 1.19 a pound and that will keep me going a while since there is very little left in the freezer…and I’m going to make scalloped potatoes tomorrow for the first time with whole milk that I got a half gallon for the dish…after the groceries, I headed straight out to get the rides in before noon so I could get on the yard and leaves…just finished that up at 2:30 and ended up with 5 bags of leaves in the garage to be put out next week…so that leaves me with an easy day for tomorrow with the rain coming in…cooking and cleaning will be the order of the day…
Getting to the end…
Well…we are getting to the end of the election season and I really do want to address the delusional people in this country about how the economy is doing…the latest reports show that the US economy is still growing at 2.8% which is the best of any country anywhere…and I wonder who is responsible for that? Of course it’s Biden and Harris who have brought manufacturing jobs back tot he US…more of them since the offshoring crap started 50 years ago…and infrastructure is getting the attention that it needed after being neglected for all of idiot boy’s term…you remember the joke from that time when the idiot announced almost every week that it was “infrastructure week” and not one damn project happened…the roads and bridges continued to crumble and he didn’t give a damn…after all, only poor folks have to use the roads and he sure doesn’t give a damn about them…oh, and inflation? Back down to 2% which is the target of the Fed…are prices still too high? On some things yes but just this morning gas out here was 2.95 a gallon and I got 10 pounds of potatoes for 3.59 when just weeks ago they were over 5 bucks…so prices are coming down and do you think the idiot cares about that other than as political weapon? Let me clue you in, he doesn’t…so don’t believe the bullshit pedaled by trump that the economy is terrible…he wouldn’t know if it is or not he is just so damn ignorant…geez…
October 30th
Well…that was a little better…didn’t get out of bed til 5:30 and slept some so I feel okay today…not even as much pain as I expected but I treated it all last night and I think that helped…damn, it’s going to be a day of figuring out how to get everything done starting with the indoor ride, then the grocery run, and fitting in either outdoor or indoor rides to get to three…and in between that, I need to get the first layer of leaves picked up before the rain that is coming in tonight…but, the wind is already howling even more than yesterday blowing from 20-30 and gusts to over 40 with a gale warning on til 4 and the a high wind advisory taking over after that…so it could be a light ride day today with only 2 indoors but I’m on schedule for getting to 10K…sitting at 8,763 as of this morning and that will leave me about 1,200 miles to do in the last two months of the year…the veggie experiment is going okay and I’m picking up lots more of them at aldis today…eliminating salt from my diet is helping with my swollen right foot as I hoped it would but I still have a couple of weeks until it’s back to normal….not much to do today…ha,ha…I’m going to be running starting here at 6:30 and won’t be done til probably 3 or so but tomorrow will be an easier day…more later…
Got two stumps cut out today..
Well…don’t know if I planned to cut the two stumps put of the fence today but I did and got them down to ground level…left a big hole in it that I covered up with some leftover square hole chicken wire that was here when I bought the house…so I’m going to pay for that tomorrow…my right thumb is howling in pain right now from taking a beating with the reciprocating saw and it didn’t help my neck either…need to treat that as soon I’m done with this…got three rides in today and even though the wind was blowing 20+, they were still fun since the wind was out of the south and that made it a cross wind all the way except for the first 300 yards or so…that was brutal…so it’s 1:45 and I am done for the day other than the weight work and making the grocery list…so I better get after it….
