Well…it was a fun day with going down to GH to have lunch with T and had a lot of laughs and fun catching up…hadn’t seen here since early last year and that’s too long to go…I did go over to the new marina to look at the boats but none of the offshore powerboats showed up an all there was to look at were the boats that have rented slips there…and I’ve seen them before…I did get the morning rides in for 38 miles today and I’m starting to feel better with eating enough finally and I need to keep that up…but first I do need to do my weight work as I watch Indycar practice….
Fundraising…
Well…with fox news and the rest of the lying right wing media crowing endlessly that the idiot trump outraised Joe Biden’s big haul from a fundraiser last week, all you have to do is look at the details of where the money came from to know that it’s thanks to citizens united for idiot boy’s win…while Joe’s money came from thousands of donors from large to small, idiot boy’s was made up of 6 million dollars raised from small donors, and one billionaire donor who wrote him a check for 50 million dollars…so, in reality, the idiot only raised 6 million dollars and that is spent already…before citizens united that allowed unlimited contributions, the billionaire would only be able to give 2,500 bucks but now billionaires can buy any politician they want and they do it all the time…mostly repubs…is there any wonder that the repubs don’t do anything for normal people? They don’t need them anymore so everything is done for the easy money the billionaires bring to the table…and that sucks…geez…
June 21st
Well…damn, I’m not sure if I’ve ever hurt this much in my life…just sore everywhere and it hurts to pick up my coffee cup…and that makes me laugh…I am getting old, after all…I wonder if I need to throttle back at my age? Yeah, probably, but will I do it? Who knows….slept okay last night but was up around 5 and I still can’t figure out why I can sleep on my back now…did 38 miles on the bike yesterday but I’m not sure how many I’ll do today with having lunch with T down in GH later…will probably try to get on the bike here in 15 minutes or so and that will set me up for three rides and make me hurt even more…the big boat event happens this afternoon so I’ll have to keep the beers to a minimum at lunch so I can ride down to the marina when I get back here…it goes on tomorrow but it’s supposed to rain all day but I’ll believe it when I see it…the force field kept us dry yesterday when there was a strong line of storms heading this way and they just fell apart over the lake…need to pick some peas today and I have no clue how to cook them…do you take them out of the pods or just steam them without taking them out? Can’t taste anything so I guess it doesn’t matter….more later…
Another busy day…
Well…today was supposed to be an easy one to try to get caught up on some house stuff but it didn’t turn out that way…on the bike at 6:45 to start the day and did two rides back to back I needed to run an errand to get some allergy meds that I was out of and forgot yesterday and I picked up some pork chops on sale that I’m going to marinade in some teriyaki sauce for the grill in a couple of days…then back here for the third ride and now it’s 1pm and I am done for the day…and I really think I need to make sure I eat enough to support all of the physical activity I have in my days…at the beach yesterday, after some hard swimming and being beat up by the waves…again, I felt pretty dizzy and that normally only happens when I under eat…then I though about it and I don’t think a small piece of pizza and two chicken legs is enough to support doing 38 miles a day on the bike…and yesterday it was only a small piece of piece of pizza and some chicken masala that figures out to about 800 calories for the day…so today I started to try to correct that by having two pieces of pizza for lunch and I’ll have more chicken masala for dinner and I hope that gets me over 1,000 calories for the day…and Ive been so dehydrated that I can see it in my skin so I’ve already had 5 quarts of water and I just might add some electrolytes that my daughter got me…we’ll see..
“Spiritual” advisor…
Well..it seems that every time you turn around another repub ends up being revealed as a child molester…I don’t remember any drag queens doing that…just yesterday news came out that the idiot trump’s “spiritual” advisor, Robert Morris, molested a 12 year old girl at his mega church…and they had the gall to say that it was handled internally by the church without law enforcement involvement…now that’s a good thing to have in your back pocket…that the mega church you founded is the entity that decides on you punishment for molesting a 12 year old girl…I wonder if he paid off the girls parents to keep them from filing charges against him? It’s no wonder that the repubs don’t think the law applies to them…I mean this guy commits a felony against a child and just has to resign from his church while anyone else who did it would still be in prison…and they don’t like child molesters in prison…the repubs have made this country a hellhole where they can get away with child molestation or overthrowing an election…the party of law and order…yeah, right…geez…
June 20th
Well…darn, I’m sore from playing in the waves the past three days so I won’t be going out there today…there is rain coming in a couple of hours so I need to get on the bike here in a few minutes…still want to get three rides in but I need to run an errand at some point since I’m almost out of allergy medicine…didn’t get a lot done yesterday so taking a day off the beach will help me get a few things done today…don’t need to cook with making the Masala yesterday and still having leftover pizza for a few days…I did get some teriaki sauce to use on some chicken and will get some thighs or legs marinaded in a couple of days so I can grill them…or maybe some pork chops…it really doesn’t matter when you can’t taste anything….I think I may be picking some pea pods today and some more beans and I’ll probably just steam them together and see how that works…I did get some small red potatoes for 25 cents for a three pound bag after using a coupon so I’ll need to look for recipes on how to cook them today…not much to do today…going to take it easier and not rush around like I have been…but I will be getting on the bike before 7…I really do need to eat more and rest my skin after getting pretty red over the past few days…just sore and worn out and need to take care of myself better…more later…
Still looking…
Well…it’s been a busy day today and I’m still looking for a political topic for the day…okay, I did go to the beach for an hour that I could have used to look but I busted my butt all morning getting the 38 miles in and the grocery runs done…and now I really do need to start cooking the chicken Masala for dinner since it takes a couple of hours…I will try to come back for another one later if I can get everything else done that I need to do including my weight work for the day…damn…
June 19th
Well…now I know the downside of playing hard in the waves yesterday…I hurt almost everywhere today and only have 16 minutes before I need to get on the bike at 6:30 am to get the first ride in before the grocery run…it only got down to 77 degrees last night but I slept okay even with that…the beach was fun yesterday but I won’t be going out there today…have too much to do with making chicken masala for lunch and needing to get three rides in after only doing 25 miles the past two days…going to make the first batch of potato salad this week and i can’t wait for that…but, I like to make mine with Miracle Whip and that is up over 5 bucks a jar and that is just stupid so I may make it with Mayo from aldis that is only 2.49 a jar…oh, well…damn, only have 8 minutes before I need to get on the bike so I need to get moving…not much to do today…just the bike rides and and cooking along with the grocery run and I need to get going right now….more later…
Fun day at the beach..
Well…had to sit here to wait out the rain so I could go to the beach and I was surprised how nice the water was…I don’t think it got to this temp all last summer…so I was able to get used to the water quickly and I spent 20 minutes playing in the waves…I do have to remember that I’m not 40 anymore and to not do anything stupid…the waves were pushing me around a bit and the lake floor was so uneven with sand bars and holes all around and that made it difficult to walk without stumbling…I did get a couple of 40 yard rides in on the waves that almost landed me on the beach and I laughed like an idiot…lots of fun but it looks like I won’t be out there again til Thurs with needing to do the grocery run and get three rides in tomorrow…need to get eggs and sweet pickles to make the first batch of potato salad this week…
More tax cuts for the rich?
Well…if you want to see a big difference between the dems and repubs,…all you have to do is look at their tax policies…the idiot trump promised the CEO’s he met with last week more tax cuts for them and to renew the 3.7 billion tax cut debacle they passed in 2017…the dems want those tax cuts to expire and with that to use some of the money to make childcare affordable and to keep the infrastructure engine going to keep making good paying jobs available for the middle class…the dems want to raise the corporate tax rate from 21% to 28%…and the dems want billionaires to pay a higher tax rate than a working person…and to keep funding the IRS so it can enforce the law and go after wealthy tax cheats…okay, independents, which one sounds better to you? I know which one does to me and it’s sure as hell not more giveaways to the rich…not another dime for them…geez…
