Well…damn, I’m still pretty pissed off about the unequal coverage that is happening in this election year and it is just so damn blatant that the NYT and almost every other paper ceaselessly attack Joe Biden or purposely do not report on the good things he and his administration have accomplished…and that kept up last night when the orange asshole held another one of his fascist rallies and in the middle of his rant, he froze up completely, stopped talking and stood there for almost a minute until his aides started the music and hustled him off the stage…and he talks about Joe Biden being old? And you know this would be front page news with calls for his resignation from every damn repub if Joe did this…but with idiot boy all we get is silence and then excuses….and this goes with the recent revelation that the idiot had a minor stroke while in office that just got reported this past week…so the media conspired to help trump by hiding his infirmity and brain damage…although that is on display every time he opens his mouth and a word salad pours out…this is just bullshit and we need to ignore the media and make our choice for Joe now and makes sure we all vote in November…geez…
May 19th
Well…damn, need to get moving in 16 minutes and get on the indoor bike to start the day and the 2 day rule kicked in from my 50 mile ride Friday…my back hurts like crazy and it is joined by damn near everything else and I do fear that my body is more easily damaged as I get older…won’t be outdoors on the bike this morning since races start at 8 and run until 11 then I’ll need to wedge two outdoor rides in before pole qualifying at Indy comes on at three…so it’s going to be a busy one today with too much to do…I do need to make some chicken masala but I really don’t know when there is going to be time today…I did sleep okay last night and didn’t get out of bed til almost 6:30 after waking up around 5….I did leave the basement windows open overnight to air it out and I even cleaned the cobwebs from the windows, too…cleaned a little more down there, too, and that needs to continue…the first people toured the rebuilt little house that is for sale at 180K and I wanted to stop and tell them to run from this neighborhood or it’s going to drive them crazy from all of the noise…and I might do that if I see anyone else looking at it…not much to do today…yeah, that’s not true…going to be running all day and I’m only one cup of coffee in….more later…
Big miles for the week…
Well…after another day of 38 miles on the bike, the total for the week is 302 miles and any time you can get over 300 miles in one week that’s a lot…all that had to happen was for my body and the weather to cooperate and they both did…and I don’t think I did any permanent damage since I’m not really sore from it so that’s cool…and I’m getting near the half way point in miles for the year with 1,470 outdoors and 1,942 indoors for a total of 3,412 and that leaves me only 138 miles to do before the end of the month…I’ll do more than that but I may be able to start to manage the riding a little better so I’ll be able to maintain the miles and not have to put in 50 mile or more days…I do still need to ride my age here in the next month or so and that will help…have never had this many miles this early in the year so it does look like the 7,100 mile goal is going to be doable…I think 38 mile days are going to be the new normal from now on since I can do them easily…we’ll see…
Rudy has been served…
Well…I had to laugh when the final subpoena in the Arizona election fraud case was served yesterday to Rudy Giuliani at his 80th birthday party in Florida in front of a hundred people…now, how would you like it to be 80 and to have fallen so far as ole rudy? I still can’t figure out how everyone who is near the idiot trump ends up losing all their intelligence and everything else…after all, rudy is on the hook for 148 million dollars for slandering two election workers in Georgia and still is under felony indictment there and now in Arizona and maybe Michigan will be next…so when rudy goes to trial and gets convicted, he will probably spend the rest of his life in jail…all in the service of the orange idiot…now that’s a bad life choice…poor rudy…geez…
May 18th
Well…up at a little after 6 this morning but I did sleep okay…I think…and I have a decision to make right now…do I get on the indoor bike or do I just wait for the temp to come up and ride outdoors? It’s only 49 out there right now so it needs to come up about 5 degrees before my hands will survive the cold…still pretty sore just sitting here so it will take a little care getting moving today…another little house was rebuilt and put up for sale out here yesterday at 179,000 dollars and it sits on a 49 foot wide lot with no basement or garage so maybe mine is inching up toward 200K now…I really did buy this place at the right time…I made a bean/chicken burrito for dinner yesterday and it came out so good…very tasty and I think part of it was the Ortega taco sauce I used instead of salsa…and the grilled chicken that I tossed in taco seasoning was a good idea along with the pickled red onions…that will last me through the weekend but I am going to make chicken masala tomorrow after I use up the leftover chicken thighs I grilled the other day…need to get my propane tank refilled this week since it’s almost empty…not much to do today…just three rides outdoors and then Indy qualifying starting at 11 so I need to get my butt in gear to get three rides in before then…more later…
Figured out the coffee maker…
Well…after the coffee make screwed up last night, I really thought I was going to have to buy a new one…but today when I hit the brew later button, the time came up as midnight instead of 6am where I had it set…so I figured the power blinked last night and dumped that information…but the weird thing was that the clock was still set right along with the microwave and range…never saw that before…I did get the 50 miles in today on the bike and I was really sore and hurting on the last ride…it was so foggy on the 2nd ride that I couldn’t see Lake Michigan from my water stop bench and I got soaked just riding through it…took the rest of the afternoon off after lunch and just did some cleaning and reading sine I have books that need to go back to the library Monday…there is a big bike event going on down the hill at Heritage Landing tomorrow that I’m going to check out…they even have differing length rides you can sign up for but that’s not my style…don’t want to ride with anyone but myself…
Idiot boy could be convicted next week…
Well…as I said yesterday, I was going to try to get here earlier and do a political one that I do every day…so here goes…with the judge in idiot boy’s election cheating trial telling the lawyers he wants closing arguments next Tuesday, that can mean that he could be convicted by the end of next week…from what I read, almost every former prosecutor thinks that the idiot is going down for every one of the 34 felonies he is charged with and it shouldn’t even be close…and I can’t wait to see the maga assholes crying about it and whining their little hearts out that the verdict is “unfair”…but, will he ever go to jail? No, that’s my prediction since the SC justices he put on the court are going to give him the immunity he wants…and they don’t care that it’s unethical for any of them to rule on any case that involves idiot boy…but we know how they feel about ethics…it’s for other people, not them…after all, they all lied to get on the court and they should have been prosecuted for perjury…but they all got away with it…and now they are going to protect a criminal…geez…
May 17th
Well…darn, I think my coffee maker is dying…it brewed a pot this morning but then shut off and now it isn’t keeping the coffee hot…and this one has only lasted a year…guess I’ll have to get out the french press for tomorrow…I have a conundrum this morning…it’s warm enough to go outdoors for rides right now but if I start that, I’ll have to do 4 outdoors for over 50 miles today…and I’m not sure if I want to do that much work…slept okay last night and only got up once all night but still feel pretty worn out today…it can’t be that I’ve done 46 miles a day for the past three days and haven’t been eating enough…can it? Have been under 1K calories for days now and I wonder if I have the ability to eat more? Who knows? Got a lot done yesterday but I am going to take it easier today with just riding in the schedule…going to make some bean and chicken burritos later…have green pepper, lettuce, and tomatoes along with enchilada sauce so it could be pretty tasty with coating the chicken with taco seasoning…and I have chicken to make some masala tomorrow or Sunday…and I have some pickled red onions to put on the burritos, too, so it could be pretty darn tasty…and I have another red onion to make more…not much to do today…it’s almost 7 and I need to decide how to start the day…it’s funny how I started riding only 3 miles a day and that has evolved into 50 miles a day…I’m still wondering if I’m doing good for my body or using it up and will pay for it later? Who knows? More later…
Way too busy…
Well…it’s a little after 4 and I’ve been running all day since 7 am when I got on the indoor bike for the first ride…then mowed the lawn, then three rides, and just finished grilling some chicken that will last me into the weekend…going to make some chicken/bean burritos with some chicken breast I just grilled along with thighs and a pork tenderloin fillet…so a 9 hour day with another 46 miles in it and I know I’ll hit halfway by the end of the month…my shortest ride this week has been 38 miles and I think I’ll make it three in a row of 46 tomorrow if it doesn’t rain me out…and it looks like it won’t…storms are passing to the north and south right now…oh, well…maybe a little rain tonight but we are going to be 80 Sunday and Monday and then back down in the 60’s again…crap, just remembered I still have the weight work to do…oh, well…
They are going to kill people…
Well…god, what the hell is wrong with modern repubs? Okay, everything but here’s one of their pet projects that is going to get people killed…in NC, the repubs just advanced a bill that would outlaw anyone from wearing a mask in public…no cancer patients, no immunocompromised people, no old people, no one…and you can bet that people are going to die and their reason for it? So criminals can’t hide their faces…another bullshit reason that these hard right assholes are using…but you know who is not included? The KKK…yep those right wing assholes are exempt along with the balaclava wearing militias that infest the whole state…but someone trying to not get the disease that has killed over 150,000 people in NC…nope…another good reason to never set foot in a red state…and this goes along with Florida repubs who are trying to outlaw vaccines in their state…so people, stop trying to twll me all the time there is no difference between dems and repubs…the repubs are actively trying to kill people…we aren’t…geez…
