Well…one of the themes of the crazy RNC convention was the magical thinking that people in the US were better off 4 years ago under the idiot trump…almost every damn speech was the same damn delusions that were devoid of facts…so let’s talk about some facts…the first one is that trump and his cronies were kissing putin’s ass almost every day which led to the invasion of Ukraine…is that better? Nope…then the pandemic which was so sorely mismanaged by idiot boy that an extra 500,000 Americans died from it after he said that the virus would “go away soon”…in July of 2020 the virus exploded in the US, rising 69% and deaths went up 20%…now let’s talk about the economy…from April to June the economy contracted 32.6 % and was close to the worst drop ever…and unemployment soared to 10%…you get the picture..idiot boy didn’t do anything right 4 years ago and he won’t do anything right if we let him back in the WH…that needs to not happen…get out and vote…geez..
July 20th
Well…damn, I’m feeling old this morning…and I don’t remember being in this much pain in a long, long time…so, do I take an ibuprofen before I get on the bike or not? It’s only 59 degrees out there right now and the only thing I want to do is sit here…but I won’t and that is a little crazy with how I feel….I am going to try to get three rides in before F1 qualifying at 10 but that means I can’t wait much longer to start…didn’t get a lot done yesterday so I need to do some cleaning today and some meal planning and it will all come out of the freezer…took some chicken legs out yesterday and I have a new marinade to try that I got a couple of weeks ago…and that will pair up with the potato salad I made yesterday…and I have baked beans in the pantry that would go with that, too…it hasn’t been too bad up here with the bike event and I’m happy about that…but I am looking forward to it being over…I wonder if I should make this a repair day and only do two rides? I could sure use it but the guilts will prevent that…not much to do today…just damn tired and I need a break…more later…
Took it easy today…
Well…after all of the work earlier in the week and being so sore from it, I took it easy today and really didn’t do anything but the rides and a trip out to the beach…and I didn’t even swim much since the water was damn cold again and I couldn’t muster the energy to swim in the cold…I did make potato salad and this batch tastes good even though the potatoes were a little oxidized and dark…I did run out to get some more tortillas since I ran out and need to finish up the chicken tacos…have been eating lots of jalapeno in them…probably more spicy food than I’ve eaten in the last year…it was only 51 degrees when I got up so I did the first ride indoors but tomorrow I’ll be able to get right out as soon as I get up with the low only getting down to 62 overnight….okay, I need to reset the tire size on my bike computer since it’s not reading right…will probably adjust the pickup, too just to make sure…
Planting stories to weaken Biden…
Well…you knew this was going to happen with the corrupt billionaire owned media in this country…if you just read the mainstream media, it appeared that Joe Biden had lost all of the dem support other than his dog and he was contemplating getting out of the race… and even Obama was pressuring him to leave…not so fast..Obama came out today and said he supports Joe and his run and Hakeem Jeffries also came out and said he was “team Biden/Harris” and will do everything he can to help them get elected…so the stories of Joe’s lack of support are just what they call “ratfucking” by printing lies to weaken your opponent and all of the media was in on it except some of the independent ones that aren’t owned by billionaires…so, ignore all that crap and get out there and vote…ignore the big media and let’s put our heads down and get to work…if we vote, we win…remember that…geez…
July 19th
Well…damn, it’s only 52 degrees out there right now and I really don’t want to be that cold so that disrupts my whole day…was planning to get on the bike and get two rides in before I have to run the errand but that is not going to happen…and my back is so sore from the spading that I can barely move…okay, the weather widgit at the bottom of my screen says it’s 51 degrees and there is no way I’m going out when it’s that cold…so I’ll have to re-shuffle my entire day and sit here for a while…so maybe only tow rides today? I could sure use the rest and to just relax my way into the day…just do damn tired..I guess I could go downstairs and get a ride in and I might do that….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same but I do need to do some meal planning and get food out of the freezer…not sure what that will be until I look but don’t want to right now…only have about 700 more miles to do to beat my all time record of 6,109 miles and then just another thousand on top of that to get to my goal for the year and I’ll make that easily unless I fall off the bike or have a heart attack…I wonder that the total will be for the year? I may be able to get to 9,000 miles but I think I’ll shift back to only 25 miles a day once I get there…too damn old to keep up this pace…more later…
Forced to take it easy…
Well…after all of the work on the yard yesterday, my energy levels were so low this morning that I barely made it through the first two rides and was planning on only doing two to try to start to recover…but after setting the sod around the garage, I felt better and got back on the bike for the third ride…but was finished working by 11:40..and I am so sore from the spading yesterday, I wonder how bad it’s going to be with the second day rule? I guess we’ll see…all of the joints I abused yesterday are just aching right now and I will have to treat them with topicals before I settle in for the night…lots of voltaren on my shoulders and elbows and some biofreeze on my back and neck…need to run an errand in the morning since I ran out of tortillas and still have chicken tacos to make tomorrow…along with the potato salad that I cooked the ingredients for today…I hope this one lasts to the end and doesn’t spoil like the last batch…okay, need to get settling in to watch some good shows tonight…
What information do they have?
Well…with more and more of the dems piling on to try to get Joe to drop out of the race just because of the poor debate performance, all I have to say is shame on you…you have a president who has single handedly repaired the economy, our standing in the world, and shored up NATO and yet you sit there saying he’s not competent to do it again…and now with a bout of covid, they are piling on even more and it just sickens me…Joe has spent his entire life serving this country and has done a great job at it…but now that’s not worth anything? What the hell information do they have that Joe is going to loose? The polls are in a dead heat and all of the pollsters continue to say that you really can’t count on them until both conventions are done at the end of August…and Alan Lichtman, who has called 9 out of the last 10 presidential elections has said the Biden is going to win…so what the hell Obama? Yeah, even Obama is piling on now and that reads to me like betrayal of trust…what the hell does Joe have to do more than he has done? I am sick of these elites pushing aside a good man just because he’s old…they are going to lose this election by alienating people like me who think Joe should stay in the race…and they need people like me to win…world class stupidity…geez…
July 18th
Well…there comes a time when you need to realize that you can’t do the things you used to be able to do…I am so damn sore from spading the walks yesterday that my hands even hurt enough that I can barely move them…haven’t been this sore in quite a while and I have more work to do today with placing all the sod I cut out at the front of the garage on the bare spots…I guess that’s recycling and I’ve done that before two years ago when I did the first pass at cleaning up the walks…so that means I’m going to be sore again tomorrow and I still need to get 38 miles in on the bike this morning…so that means I have 28 minutes to pour coffee down to jump start this old body…I did go downtown last evening but didn’t stay long…had earplugs in when they started the concert and it was still too loud…I guess I’m getting old…now I just need to hunker down for the next four days and wait for the peace to return…oh, well…not much to do today…just the sod work and filling in a hole by the garage with the dirt that came out of the front…I need a day off…I got sunburned even with 50 sunscreen on yesterday so I’ll skip the beach until next week….more later…
Busy, busy day…
Well…here comes the broken record again…started the day with the first ride before 7am and then the grocery run…out for the second and third ride and then I spaded all of the edges of my sidewalks since the grass had overgrown so much you couldn’t see the edges and it looked like hell…so 250 feet later I am sore but it didn’t end there…when I finished the spading, it was only 1:15 and I wasn’t worn completely out so I decided to mow the lawn and finished that around 2pm…but now I am worn out so I’m down for the day…but I may go downtown at 5 since the concerts are starting this afternoon and outdoors is the only way I’ll ever see live music again…won’t do crowds indoors anymore…so now getting all this work done sets me up for an easy day tomorrow and I am looking forward to it…still have a few things to do yet but easy stuff…so I better get going…again…
I’ve had enough…
Well…look, I’ve had enough of dems knifing Joe Biden in the back every damn day…and now a person whom I respected has done it with Adam Schiff telling other dems that Joe should drop out…the most influential president who has got more done for this country than any other president in 50 years should drop out? Yeah, Joe is old…so what? Haven’t they been listening to his interviews and speeches after the debate? Joe is still 10 times the leader than Schiff is and now is not the time for any dem to take his marbles and go home…it is time for all of us to give Joe our full throated support and get going…there is no one else that the dems can run for president so shut the hell up Adam…and the rest of you…I don’t know why you are trying to tear the dem party apart but it probably has to do with money…and you cut rate machiavellis need to stop maneuvering and just stop this nonsense…geez…
