Well…made it to 7,000 miles on the bike for the year today and now only have 78 left to the goal…and that should be early Thursday…I did go out to the mall today to look at the car show and it was a big one…over 1,000 cars and there had to be 5,000 people there while I was…it took me over an hour just to walk down all of the isles and see all the cars…lots of Mustangs and every other kind of car you could think of…there was a 56 Pontiac Chieftan wagon restomod that was just gorgeous and you normally see the 56 Chevys that sit on the same frame instead…not many of the Pontiacs made…I even got to park right next to the show in a parking spot that was just Miata sized and that was cool since the next spot was 200 yards away…I guess it’s an annual thing…pretty cool…
The most stupid thing I’ve ever seen…
Well…all of us who are no maga addled know that the idiot trump’s brain has been fading fast and here’s another bit of evidence that he is just not right…in an interview the other day he said this: “…the transgender thing is incredible…think of it, your kid goes to school and he comes home a few days later with an operation..the school gets to decide what happens to your child…and you knew many of these childs (yep, childs) fifteen years later say what the hell happened, who did this to me? If you can make sense of that crap, you’re doing better than me…look, there is no way that any school is making gender decisions for any kid and there are no operating theaters in and school in this country unless it’s a medical school…and the bad thing is that 40% of this country thinks he’s the “stable genius” he calls himself…I think he’s dumber than a box of rocks…and that goes for the person interviewing him who let this nonsense pass without getting up and walking out…geez…
August 2nd
Well…it’s only 49 degrees out there so that is going to force me downstairs for the first ride today but that’s okay…I can use a later start to my day for a change…only have 10 miles to do to get to 7,000 miles for the year and I’m in the countdown to 7,100…just so damn worn out this morning that all I want do to is sit here and have coffee…but, I’ll get going before 8 as I always do…had a good day yesterday but didn’t accomplish much and I’m not sure what I’ll do today…I do want to head over to the mall to see the car show but I’m not really geeked about it…I’ve seen so may of them in my lifetime that there is nothing new to see…but it’s going to be a nice day so wandering around in a parking lot might be fun….we’ll see…I really do need to cook something today and it may be another batch of pasta salad…don’t really have any protein in the freezer so maybe some pasta and garlic bread? Haven’t made that in a long time and some spaghetti sounds good…not much to do today…going to get on the bike downstairs in 25 minutes and that gives me enough time to have another cup of coffee…more later…
Don’t know how to do this…
Well…sitting here waiting for the Man U match to start and just sitting here is hard and I really don’t know how to take it easy anymore…have the first ride in and the weight work done and now I’ll settle in for a couple of hours to watch the match then right back out for two more rides before the indycar race starts at 3…saw some really cool clouds at the beach this morning that looked like they were in 2D and painted on the sky…strange…I did see 4 more houses with Harris/Walz signs in the yards and still only 1 for the idiot trump and this is a quite conservative area…it looks like we have a major weather change here today with the low getting down to 50 tonight and down in the 40’s by Friday…a little too cool for me this early in September but we all know what’s coming and there is nothing to be done about it…just hope the heat doesn’t start coming on til the end of the month…okay, the match is starting…
Russia is starting to feel it…
Well…I think it’s finally starting to sink in with the Russian people that they are in a war…up til recently, people in Moscow were just going about their daily business but that changed last night when Ukrainian drones hit a major power station and oil storage tanks in Moscow leaving a large portion of the city without power…now I think they are going to have to pay attention to the air raid sirens from now on…how stupid is putin looking now? Ukraine is taking Russian territory and has been able to attack basically anywhere in Russia and match the drone attack by Russia two days ago…now it’s time for Ukraine to hit the Kremlin just like Russia hits Kyiv…and with Ukrainian industry innovating and building their own drones they can use without restriction, it’s just going to to get worse for Russia if they don’t just get the hell out of Ukraine…looking forward to more oil storage going up in flames…geez…
September 1st
Well…damn, it looks like the schedule of races and soccer matches is going to be a problem with getting the rides in today…need to get on the bike by 7:30 to get a ride in before the F1 race at 9…and that will take me to the Man U match at 11 that will go for two hours so the next time I’ll be on the bike is 1 and then I need two rides before 3…crap…I hate busy days like this…slept okay last night but feel like I didn’t and I need the coffee to work right now…I forgot to do the weight work yesterday and I feel like a slug from it so I’ll do it while I’m watching the race at 9…another month starts and the weather is changing to a low of 50 tonight from the 67 that it is right now…as long as the heat doesn’t come on, I’m okay with that….there is a big car show starting this afternoon to raise money for cancer survivors but I’m going to wait to go til tomorrow afternoon…supposed to be 1,000 cars there and it might be fun to see…have to remember the 100 sunscreen when I go…don’t know what I’m going to eat today but I do know I need to eat more…my ribs are showing and I haven’t seen that in a long time…more later….
We always have to clean up the economy…
Well…it’s one of the things I can’t figure out…how the hell can anyone think the idiot would be better on the economy that any dem? After all, he ran the economy into the ditch and put 7 trillion dollars into the national debt using the same policies he said he will do again..tax cuts for the rich and tariffs on everything imported that every damn economist says will shift the tax burden to the middle class and will add another 6 trillion dollars to the debt…do Americans have memory loss or are they just stupid…and the one thing they have to remember…after every repub presidency, the dem that follows always has to fix the damn economy just like Joe Biden had to do after idiot boy…and Harris/Walz ticket will continue the fact based policies of Biden/Harris that have made our economy the best in the world…and yet people think the idiot is better…man, we have gotten stupid…geez..
August 31st
Well…damn, it’s after 7 and I’ve just poured my first cup of coffee and that puts me behind for the day already…need to get two rides in before F1 qualifying at 10 so I need to get going by 7:30…got a lot of miles in yesterday so I can only do two rides today and not feel too guilty about it…Michigan plays tonight so I’ll be glued to that at 7pm so another night of no Svengoolie and there are lots of races on, too, so today might be fun…going to slather my neck with voltaren before I go out in 8 minutes….and my right elbow that has been hurting so badly that it hurts to pick up my coffee cup…damn, I’m getting old…the humidity has finally dropped out here and it’s pretty comfortable here right now…it was just so wearing to have everything so damp for so long…I may even clean the bathroom today since it will dry after I wash everything…I do need to cook today with no leftovers to eat and I haven’t planned anything yet other than taking some thighs out of the freezer…should make another batch of pasta salad but that may wait til tomorrow…damn, I need to get going…more later…
An easy day turned into more..
Well…when I got up this morning and it was raining, I knew the rides were going to start indoors and it really did look like I wasn’t getting outdoors for any miles…and I even entertained the thought of only doing one ride indoors and calling it good…but the one ride turned into two inside and by the time I finished indoors, the rain had stopped and it was drying up quite quickly so I jumped on the outdoor bike to get a ride in…that ride turned into two for a total of 42 miles and my easy day turned into more…and now I only have 186 more miles to go to get to the goal of 7,100 and I should get there next week since there is no more rain in the forecast until next Friday…not sure how I feel about that…I know it’s what I have been working towards all year and have thought about for years and I know I haven’t thought past it…not sure if I need a goal to be motivated to ride but I know staying active is the greatest anti aging thing you can do and I like the way I look weighing less so I know I’ll keep it up…not sure if it will be at this pace, though, since I do feel like I’m wearing out…haven’t had a rest day this year but that is another goal to be met this year…riding every day for the year…time for weight work…
It was just normal…
Well…after watching the Harris/Walz interview the other day it struck me just how normal it seemed…other the the interviewer spewing right wing talking points, Kamala and Tim just answered the questions, made sense, and didn’t attack anyone or lie…and I think that’s key in these times…aren’t you tired of the idiot trump? The ranting and raving and constant lies and attacks and every day striving to be worse than the day before? I think this should be a theme for the campaign…look how normal we are…and when you come home from work and turn on the news there won’t be any outrageous anything that would have happened…just steady, normal leadership and getting things done to make American’s lives better…we know that idiot boy can’t do that and aren’t we tired of it? There is enough stress in modern life and we should make the point that calmness is possible if we elect the Harris/Walz ticket…don’t you need a little calmness…I know I do…
