Well…after all of the musk fanboys bought one, sales for the cybertruck cratered so badly that today ole elon announced the ugly piece of crap was cancelled…good…that thing was nowhere near as nice as the pickups made by the major manufacturers that could actually do what a pickup is supposed to do…like drive up a hill or haul anything or not fall apart just driving it…and it cost more than any other electric pickup…even the equally ugly gm hummer…now I feel bad for the people who are going to be laid off but working for tesla and elon is support for the idiot trump and the wave of destruction they are going to foist on this country…so maybe they deserve it…yeah, that’s cold but anyone having anything to do with elon and idiot boy do really deserve what they get…geez…
The media are complicit…
Well…with the failure of media in this country, stupid ideas like abolishing the IRS and imposing tariffs on every country in the world are being treated as more than the insanity they really are…and idiot boy is trying to hide the real effects of tariffs by saying they will be collected by some “external revenue service” that doesn’t exist…look, tariffs are imposed on the importers of foreign goods not on the country they come from so no, China is not going to pay a dime just like every other country is not going to pay a dime….I say this again…you and I are going to pay and like the last time the idiot was in office when it cost the average family 1,200 dollars a year in higher prices caused by the tariffs…this time it could be triple that and that is what I call a “trump tax” on you and I…we sure as hell didn’t vote for that but the stupid people who believe his lies did…and I can’t wait for the media to report that….oh, right, they won’t and the country dies a little more each day…geez…
January 17th
Well…out of bed a little before 6 this morning and I have no motivation to get moving but I know I have to get on the bike before 7…so that gives me 45 minutes to drink coffee and wake up and that should be enough…I was amazed that they plowed the streets up here again yesterday and that made it twice since Monday but I still feel bad for whining about it…didn’t have any pain in my gums yesterday after it was really bad Wed night and I can’t figure that out…the swelling is gone and everything is back to normal…I know I’ll take it but I still wonder what the heck it was…I did get the bathroom cleaned yesterday and need to do more today…the kitchen could use some work along with the dining room and I’ll probably work on them today….it didn’t get below freezing last night but we are going to see a crash in temps Sunday with the coldest weather since I’ve lived out here…0 or below Monday night so I won’t be going anywhere…not much to do today…don’t have to cook for a couple of days but then some stir fried chicken and veggies along with some more Masala to use the chicken I have thawed…more later….
Done for the day…
Well…just finished shoveling the snow, cleaning the bathroom, and doing laundry and I am done for the day…Man U plays here in a few minutes so I’m going to take it easy for a bit…I did get the three rides in, too, but that is pretty much a given these days…I did try the pulled pork for lunch and it’s okay…nothing special but edible and I think it will grow on me as time goes on…nice to have some easy food…we must have gotten another 6 inches of snow last night and, with the wind, I had a 2 foot tall drift all along the front of my lots…and this was not the nice light fluffy snow we’ve been getting…it’s over 30 here right now and the stuff was pretty heavy…since I don’t have to go anywhere until late next week, I didn’t shovel the alley…might go out and do that tomorrow…my neck is hurting today so I need to stretch it out and give it some rest…the coldest weather since I bought my house is coming Sunday through Tuesday and we are getting down below 0 Monday night…ick…oh, well…only 6 more weeks til March…
Still trying…
Well…I have been looking for a political topic to write about and even started thinking about it on the bike but I just can’t get anything to solidify…so maybe a few small things…first, the idiot trump has started his mass deportation scheme and I really wonder why his business buddies that depend on that cheap labor are staying silent? You think the price of housing is nuts now? Wait until idiot boy deports the 65% of the housing labor workforce…oh, and let’s not forget the 25% tariff on Canadian lumber that goes into effect on Monday at noon…almost half of all housing in the US is built with Canadian lumber…so you think we have a housing shortage now? Wait for the chaos that is going to start Monday…hell, my house could be worth a quarter of a million bucks by the end of the idiot’s term when he screws up the economy like he did last time…glad I’m not looking for a house now…geez…
January 16th
Well…man, I feel like crap this morning and I slept in til 6:50 and that makes me late for the whole day…it’s after 7 now and I should have been on the bike already but I guess I need to relax and take it as it comes…had some pretty severe pain in my lower left jaw last night that had me reaching for the ibuprofen but it seems better today…the swelling has gone down and no pain this morning so I’ll take it…we did get 4-5 inches of snow last night and I am happy that I don’t need to go anywhere for a week or so and I’ll just hunker down here for that time….I’m still grinning that I found the key ring yesterday…it was always nagging me that they were gone…little darn things make me happy…I did thaw some of the pulled pork I got yesterday so I’ll try that with some bullseye bbq sauce for lunch…hope it’s not terrible since it’s taking up space in the freezer…but I still need to figure out other things to cook…maybe some more potato soup…and I have some ham in the freezer I could put in it…hmmm…not much to do today…the bathroom has been calling to me that it needs cleaning and it may be the thing I do today…who knows…more later…
350 miles already…
Well…still working on days in a row of riding and two weeks into the new year of riding I’ve already done 350 miles…and that means a 700 mile month is possible and that leads to being able to ride over 8,000 miles this year…do I dare to try to beat my 10,449 mile record? I will have over 3K indoors before I can get back outdoors and I’m still thinking about rebuilding the driveline on the outdoor bike before I take it back outdoors…I have the parts here already but the bike was still working fine when I cleaned it up and put it away…so, I don’t think I’m riding outdoors in the slush this year…it’s just too damn comfortable to walk downstairs and not have to suit up to go outside…still so happy that I found the set of keys today…had looked everywhere and really thought I’d dropped them in the trash by accident…and they are a full set that unlocks every type of lock I have on the house…okay, still have some reading to do…
Stop…just stop…
Well…I think it’s about time that we stop with the pretense that talking to the idiot trump is about the “office of the presidency” and not the orange ogre who will be infesting it soon…and Michelle Obama has taken the lead of not attending the inauguration and I think that everyone who is not a trump ass kisser should do the same…deprive him of the only thing he craves other than money…and that is the attention the he gets from squatting in the WH…I think this treatment started at President Carter’s funeral when President Obama was the only one to even talk to the idiot…everyone else ignored him as they should have…if I was the Carter family, I would have made it clear they didn’t want him there…and I think world leaders should do the same thing…isolate the US until the tumor is out of office…after all, what’s the point of talking to him? He is the dumbest person to ever sit in the WH and can’t bring one thought to any policy discussion…the thing that will kill him will be ignoring him…and it needs to start now…geez…
A good morning…
Well…it’s been such a good morning this morning and it has me smiling…started out with getting three rides in and then getting ready to head out to Meijers and DD…when I got my heavy woolen coat out to wear, I found the key ring and keys I have been looking for at least two years…on a space needle key ring that I bought at the space needle when I was out there for my daughter’s wedding…I thought it was lost and gone and now all three sets of keys are on key rings associated with her…she gave me a Mazda key ring, and I bought a Statue of Liberty one when I we took the tour of the statue and the rest of NY city….then out to DD to get some boneless/skinless chicken for 2 bucks a pound and 5 pounds of seasoned pulled pork for 8 bucks…glad I have enough room in the freezer now…then to Meijers for a few things and the prescriptions and laughed out loud again when the clerk told me the cost…1.20 for 90 days of two BP meds…one of them was free and the other was 1.20…so very cool…so now I don’t have to go out again for a couple of weeks…okay, need to have some lunch…more later…
January 15th
Well…it’s 6:45 and I’m already running late to get the things done I need to today…want to get three rides in and run an errand to pick up the new prescriptions and hit DD to pick up 5 pounds of pulled pork for 8 bucks…made enough room in the freezer over the past two weeks and it will come in handy to have some easy food…slept okay last night but I still feel pretty worn out as I always do until the coffee gets to work and I may even make some good coffee later…the weather is going to be pretty extreme over the next week with lots of snow and the high temp on Monday is going to be 6 degrees so I want to get everything done today so I can hunker down and wait it out…it’s supposed to be almost 40 tomorrow and then crash Friday…oh, well…didn’t get a darn thing done yesterday but I am going to clean the bathroom today…I made some whole wheat bread yesterday but it fell like a bad souffle and it is the strangest looking loaf I’ve ever seen….it tastes okay so I’ll have some of it with the Masala today….not much to do today…just need to get off my butt and get moving right now so I can get three rides in before I head out for the errands….more later…
