Well…have to get on the indoor bike in 15 minutes and I’ve only had a couple of sips of coffee and that is not enough to jump start this old body…slept okay last night but feel pretty worn out even though I ate two meals yesterday…I really think that is too many calories…I mean a burger and a chicken burrito in the same day? I did get the shower cleaned and need to finish the bathroom today but that will be after the 33 miles on the bike….it’s going to warm up over the next few days to almost 90 for highs and I’m ready for that…it was 41 degrees yesterday morning and that is just wrong for the middle of June…it may rain today and the radar shows that there is a little shower coming in and maybe some storms later today and into tomorrow…need to mow the lawn today after I get one outdoor ride in but I may do it after the grocery run…it seems that every day is a busy one lately and I’m so tired of running and running… and I have about 5 minutes before I need to get on the indoor bike…the new blinds are supposed to be in today at depot but I haven’t heard from them yet…I sure want to get them up and get rid of the walmart crap I’ve lived with since I bought this place….more later…
Alito has to go…
Well…if you’ve been following the Alito flag scandal for the past couple of weeks and the scarce coverage in the media, you would think “no big deal” but you would be wrong…Jay Kuo adds a bunch of context over on substack and it is just so much worse…and Alito should be impeached or resign…just for his rulings on standing in cases, where he always rules for conservatives 100% of the time and rejects claims of standing 100% of the time for liberal claimants…and by doing that, he is pushing the far right wish lists every day in the court…and the law specifies that he has to recuse himself in cases dealing with people he knows but he never has…like for the January 6th attackers or trump for that matter…and in a secret interview that was taped this past week, he makes it clear that he is the most biased judge on any bench by stating that the left can’t be bargained with, they have to be “defeated” and he is doing his part on the bench….any other judge in any other time would have impeached and convicted for what alito has already done…and for what he promises to do if he can help install trump again…let use this as a rallying cry and in ads for this fall…I’ll bet a lot of independents would go for removing thomas and alito if we win in the fall…let’s get it done…geez…
June 11th
Well…damn, it’s 43 degrees out here and I know it’s never been that cold in the middle of June since I’ve lived out here….so I’ll be waiting to get on the outdoor bike til around 9am…I am sore everywhere from cleaning the windows yesterday but it is nice to have that done and I like the way it looks from the outside of the house…no other house in the neighborhood has windows this clean… and I’m going to get them dirty again when I start on cleaning the siding so I’ll have to do the outside of them again…oh, well..we are going to get a huge weather change out here starting Wed when the high temps will start to rise to almost 90 and then stay in the 80’s for a couple of weeks…cripes, I’m going to spend a few hundred bucks the next week or so with the new blinds, new front brakes for the car, and rebuilding the driveline on the black bike that is going to be over a hundred dollars…okay, the weather widget on the bottom of the screen says it’s 41 degrees and that is damn cold for the middle of June and will probably push the outdoor rides back til 10am…not much to do today…going to make it an easier day and not work for 11 hours like I did yesterday…but I do need to get on the indoor bike here in 25 minutes to start the day…and I sure don’t want to…more later….
Damn, running again…
Well…this has to break soon or I’m going to break…started off this morning at 7am on the indoor bike and since it was too darn cold, I started cleaning the windows and got the 3 kitchen ones done before the temp came up enough to get on the outdoor bike for two rides, then had lunch and got right back to cleaning the other 9 windows and the mini blinds and just finished up a little after 6pm so and 11 hour day today and I am beat…and one of the cheap assed walmart blinds in the living room broke so I decided to order three grey ones that I was going to buy anyway and they are not cheap…29 bucks each since my living room windows are so big…so I just burned 90 bucks at depot and they will be in Wed for me to pick up…and then I’ll install all three even before I work on repairing the window frames so I don’t have to look at these crooked ass blinds anymore…haven’t even had time to breathe today and I still have work to do before I can relax…damn…
This is pretty funny…
Well…after being convicted of 34 felonies, the idiot trump is now in the system and that starts with meeting with his probation officer today…and she is a black woman and I think it’s going to drive him nuts since she’ll be running the show…and one of the question will be if he has been associating with people who have been convicted of a crime which would violate the terms of his release…I wonder how he can avoid that since almost everyone associated with him have been convicted of various crimes? Then she is going to ask about other crimes in his background along with any other things that could affect his sentence…one of the things I just hate is that he always seems to get special treatment like having his lawyer present and letting him do the interview on zoom from his tacky Florida golf club…and he is supposed to be drug tested but that’s a little tough to do from 1,200 miles away so more special treatment…I wonder if you can commit perjury in one of these interviews? He does lie about everything after all…geez…
June 10th
Well…damn, just sitting here exhausted and wondering why I can’t luxuriate in taking a day off anymore….was up and down all night last night starting at 1am but that is still not going to allow me to take a nap to make up for it…it’s only 50 degrees out here right now so that will mean an indoor ride in 28 minutes while I wait for the temp to come up…it’s going to be hot later in the week with highs getting to near 90 and that will bring the assholes out and I’ll be making noise calls all week…I just can’t figure out the thought process of these morons…I mean someone in their 60’s thumping that bullshit? Oh, well…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get enough done…need to do the kitchen windows today and get the dirt out of them…and that will mean taking the blinds down and washing them, too…and I do need to start on washing the siding, too…damn, just too much to do…but, to do that, I need to get going right now…and finish the coffee…the first cup anyway….more later…
Running again…
Well…darn, have had another busy one today and I’m just now done and it’s pushing two pm…started out the day with being ready to get on the bike by 7:15 but when I got out there the rear tire was flat so I must have pinched it with the tire tools when I changed the tire yesterday…so I did my best imitation of a nascar pit crew and put a new tube in it…only took about 5 minutes and then I got out and did three rides for another 38 miles…when I got back here I got cleaned up and put the chicken on the grill and, while that was cooking, I took care of the garden, cut some lettuce for the burger I had for lunch and for the chicken sandwich I’m planning on for later, and trimmed the small shrub that is next to the back door…shrank it back to how it started in the spring and have to keep at it so it doesn’t get too unruly…and now I’m finally done for the day other than the weight work and I am going to watch the F1 race in the rain in Canada and then the indycar and nascar race later…I need some time off but I may start on the bathroom in between…and I need to start on the windows…just have too much to do…I will have beans at about the end of next week and can’t wait…will have meals of just beans…I hope…
Of course they did…
Well…I’m really starting to hate the media and it’s blatant trying to tear down Jo Biden and push for the asshole trump…and the latest incident was the Time magazine interviews of both men this past week and it was revealed that Joe took the hard questions and breezed through it cogently with no gaffes that the rest of the media was hoping to have happen…but the big reveal was that when they interviewed idiot boy, they dumbed the questions down and selectively edited his answers to make them try to make sense…now they have been doing the crap for years at his fascist rallies…when you see a transcript of any of them, he sounds dumber than a box of rocks and bare makes sense…and he glitches all the time where he just stands there for a minute staring blankly at the crowd…and they think Joe is too old? And now the publishers at both the Washington Post and the NYT are straight from right wing propaganda outlets and they are transforming those two papers into fox news in print…and I can’t stand it…geez…
June 8th
Well…damn, I’m sore everywhere this morning and I wonder how it’s going to feel on the bike? Going to do three rides outdoors this morning since there is little wind and it’s going to be sunny and almost 60 when I go out in an hour or so…I am going to sit here and enjoy the luxury of coffee and time today…don’t have anything to do today…okay, I do have things to do but nothing that is really pressing so I can choose what to do…going to grill some chicken today so I can make some chicken burritos for the next few days…I do need to clean the bathroom at some point and that will probably be this afternoon…the pain in my shoulders has moved to the right side where it has always been and it must be from sleeping on it last night…didn’t sleep well with getting up around three and then up and down the rest of the night but I feel okay…but the coffee needs to work soon or I’ll be dragging on the bike….it was a little weird to have a big chunk come out of the rear tire tread on the bike yesterday…it was as big as the tip of my finger and I could feel it through the seat coming back…but the tube protectors did their jobs so I didn’t have to put a new tube in…lots of races on today with F1, Indycar, and nascar all on and at the same time so I’ll have to pick what I want to watch…and cook chicken before all of that….more later….
It’s been a day…
Well…darn, it’s been another one of those busy days with going over to my brothers house again and spending over 4 hours there working…but, the day started out with me losing power while I was on the indoor bike around 8 am…then over to work on the tools, back here about 1:30pm and decided to take a ride in the rain…chunked the rear tire so I had to replace that while I was grilling burgers…glad I had remembered to buy a tire a couple of weeks ago to have one in stock…so, I’ll have to buy another one this week…the one I took off had holes all over it but I’ve only had one flat so far this year…fingers crossed…I did get some more tools today…got an electric impact driver that I’ve always wanted and a few small things…some little clamps that will come in handy when I get to patching the tubes I have downstairs…and I haven’t had time to even look at the news or do my weight work yet…butter get moving…again…
