Well…damn, the wind has been howling out here all night and it continues this morning…we had some thunderstorms roll through here last night and that is really weird for Feb in Michigan…the weather is going to make a huge change in the next few days going from almost 60 yesterday to in the 20’s Monday…so it looks like I won’t be able to get outdoors today….up at 5:23 this morning and I am so damn tired of getting up so early….just want to lie down on the couch and stop doing anything…but, I won’t….I do have to cook today since I used up all the leftovers yesterday and I think that is going to be bean burritos and some chicken pieces that I have way too many of….so, food that is bad for me but I’ve been good for weeks so I guess I can live with it…have been so busy lately that I really need an easy day to just live instead of doing, doing, and doing….but that will start after I get two rides in starting in 30 minutes or so…I do need to run an errand this morning since I need tomatoes for the burritos and a stalk of celery from aldis for some reason…maybe for snacks with some ranch? Not much to do today…just need to get going after I have another cup of coffee…man, I’m worn out…more later…
Another one of those days…
Well…darn, I’m a heck of lot busier since I retired and today was another one of those busy days…started out with getting on the bike a little after 7 and had all three rides in before 11…made some lunch and then cleaned up the piles of trash that the asshole renters left on the vacant lot across from their house…and there was enough trash to fill up 3 30 gallon trash bags…in the trash there were 52 half pint bottles of vodka, 60 red solo cups, and assorted food wrappers, diapers and over 40 water bottles…that took me almost an hour but now I don’t have to look at the trash when I go out to ride…after that I cleaned the bathroom from top to bottom, then did my weight work and i was done for the day about 3:30…so, an 8 1/2 hour day and that’s enough…now I’m going to watch some tv…
Telegraphing the ruling..
Well…was just reading that the SC is telegraphing what they are going to rule in the case that got to them from Colorado where their SC kicked the idiot trump off the ballot and it can’t be worse…we all know that this SC with all of the unqualified, lying, right wing hacks on it put there by idiot boy is poised to ignore the constitution…again..and rule that idiot boy can stay on the ballot no matter what the 14th amendment says…just as they did when they killed Roe and are going to kill the EPA and every other department of the government except what was in the constitution in 1787…they have shown that this is the most illegitimate court in the history of the country and John Roberts has a lot to do with that and is going to go down as the worst chief justice in the country’s history…he can’t even get thomas to recuse in this case even though it’s been shown that his wife was in the thick of the January 6th attack…corruption personified…geez…
February 8th
Well…man, I feel worn out today….I wonder if I need to adjust my effort level with being as old as I am? Up at 5:40 this morning and that follows the 4 am wake up yesterday and I’m sure that has something to do with how I feel…and not eating enough is part of it too, I mean 2 bowls of soup a day is about 800 calories and that has been 5 days now…but I am losing weight so I guess that’s something…but today ends that and I need to figure out the meals for the next few days…I know bean burritos are going to be part of it and there will be some pasta in there….and I did buy a head of lettuce so maybe some salads? Had a busy day yesterday but I hope today will be a little more relaxed…only going to do the rides and weight work and maybe clean the bathroom but don’t want to think about that right now…the wind is going to pick up this morning to almost 20 mph and that will make the outdoor ride a little tough…have 700 miles in for the year and when I do the math, there is no way to get to 7K for the year unless all I do is ride…and I wonder what is the point? Not much to do today…have 45 minutes before I need to get on the bike but first another cup of coffee…more later…
Busy day…again…
Well…after getting out of bed at around 5 this morning, I had much more energy than I should have so I got right at it and got on the bike around 6:30 after I had some coffee and got the first ride in then straight on to the grocery run and then back here by 9:07…then got the second ride in, had lunch, and then outdoors for the ride…back here and started the laundry and gave myself a hair cut, and just finished my workout at 4:30…so it’s been another busy day and I’m ready to be done but I had to come here and do another one of these to keep up the three a days I’ve trying to do…getting up so early has just worn me out and I need some rest…
Shot themselves in the foot…again…
Well…we really know how incompetent the repubs are but the last day took that to a whole new level…after months of negotiating for legislation to deal with the border “crisis” and having ole mitch come out and tout the agreement, 3 hours later after trump bitch slapped him, mitch came out and killed the bill…and part of it had to do with idiot boy needing the “crisis” to run on so he could bitch about it….but none of the repubs are smart enough to know that them killing the bill is going to be an anvil handed to them while they head off the cliff…and Joe Biden is smart enough to do just that…and now the repubs are out there lying to spin the reason to anything but a petulant trump being stupid and they are still scared of him…but then the house weighed in with their stupid impeachment of the head of Homeland security for not being tougher on the border…and they didn’t see the irony of killing the best deal they are ever going to get on the border…and they lost the impeachment vote, too…so, what a bunch of morons they are showing themselves to be…keep it up repubs…man, Nancy Pelosi made running the house and getting things done look easy…I miss her…geez…
February 7th
Well….yeah, that last post wasn’t true…I did get out on the bike outdoors yesterday…the temp got up to 36 so I thought I’d take a short ride sine there was no wind and with the goal for the year, I really have to ride…can’t take any time off or there is no way I’ll get there…so, another 29 mile day and I’ve been up since 5:04 and can start another on here in a half hour or so…need to get a ride in before the grocery run so I can get two in before lunch…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but i do want to clean the bathroom today since I have dust in the shower again…and i still can’t figure that out…I know this is a dusty house but damn, you would think that the water would keep the shower clean…oh, well…still don’t have to cook today with leftovers still in the fridge but I will need to cook Friday and that is going to be pasta and bean burritos but I don’t think the green pepper I bought last week will be usable…darn…ha, we are supposed to get thunderstorms tomorrow night and temps over 50 before it crashes into the 30’s Sat…and that will keep me off the outdoor bike for 10 days or so…but there is no snow in the forecast as we grind our way to March…not much to do today…just the grocery run and bike rides…cleaning is still staring me in the face so I’ll try to do some of that, too….more later…
No outside rides today..
Well…darn, the temp is still only 35 degrees at 2:30 in the afternoon so there won’t be an outdoor ride today…the last time I went out at that temp with no sun I froze my hands and they took almost a half day so I could feel them again…so, only 16 miles today along with the weight work that I just finished…I really should have cleaned the bathroom today but there is going to be rain later in the week so I’ll do that Thurs…need to get the grocery list done today so I can do the run tomorrow but it doesn’t have much on it since I still have lots of freezer food to eat along with pasta once I finish up the masala and potato soup leftovers…I can actually move my right big toe today so it appears the water treatment is working…it’s even back to normal color from the throbbing red it was last week…
Trump loses again…
Well…the court opinion we’ve all been waiting for dropped this morning and the ketchup must be flying down at the idiot’s tacky golf club in Florida…in a 57 page opinion, the DC appeals court ruled unanimously that ex presidents have no immunity from prosecution for crimes committed at any time, even when in office…this upholds a lower court opinion that said the same thing and blows every delusional argument from idiot boy’s lawyers out of the water…I mean the complete immunity that the lawyers tried to argue would let a president or ex president even murder someone and couldn’t be held responsible and that is just wrong…so now what happens? Of course idiot boy can appeal to either the whole appeals court or the supreme court but they also can say out of it and refuse the case which will get the trial by Jack Smith back on track and idiot boy is headed to prison…it will probably be another 6 months for that to happen but it will happen…even the corrupt SC isn’t going to give trump a get out of jail free card…I hope…geez…
February 6th
Well…darn, I’m out of steam already and have only been out of bed for a half hour…woke up a little before 6 and really tried to go back to sleep with no luck…everything hurts from the neck down to my waist and I know it’s from riding the outdoor bike…that uses different muscles from indoors and even my hands hurt….my right foot seems to be more flexible today and that’s welcome…damn, it’s a pain getting old….I realized yesterday that I have been lucky enough to take part in two housing price booms in my life…bought my first house for 11K and sold it three years later for 36K and bought this house for 90K and it’s now worth at least 150K and that is in three years too…weird…I’ve been stacking up the busy days here since the start of the year and I wonder when I can have an easy one? Not today but maybe soon…it would be luxurious to just do what I want but I’ve got 20 minutes to get on the bike so I can get both rides in before lunch…not much to do today…just the routine of bike rides but I do need to clean the kitchen and plan some meals for later in the week…the weather is going to hell next week with high temps in the 20’s…ick…more later…
