Well…have been down for a couple of weeks but just got it going again a few minutes ago…but the print is way too small and weird so I’ll try to fix that and come back
Done for the day…
Well…it’s noon and I think I’m done for the day…got the rides in, hit the library, and fed what remains of my lawn since it’s forecast to rain tomorrow…ha,ha…the rides were great with no wind and I did take an ibuprofen since both thighs have been aching and they still do but it’s better…will get to 4,000 outdoor miles tomorrow and with the 2,620 indoor miles I’m probably going to get to around 8,000 miles for the year and that’s without any goals or 100 mile days..not bad for an old guy…and that will get me over 30,000 miles since I moved out here…it’s going to get up to 80 for a few days next week and I think that will be the last gasp for warm weather for the year and I don’t mind that…fall has always been my favorite season and I’m looking forward to that a bit…okay, time to read…
Violence is caused by the right..
Well…look, I never cheer when anyone dies, but I would make an exception if the idiot trump fell over today..after the right wing asshole kirk was murdered this week, the media fell all over themselves trying to both sides political violence and that is a lie…every violent political attack has been done by right wing assholes spurred on by the idiot trump’s threats against dems almost every day…what the hell did they expect? Idiot boy murdered 11 men last week and as the right wing crazies howl for more of that against their perceived enemies, kirk was right there at the front of the line demonizing everyone who is not a straight white man…and now they are whitewashing his hate speech that he constantly spewed…so no, kirk was not a hero or a truth teller as the right would have everyone believe…he was a right wing bigot who made a living off hate speech…and don’t let anyone tell you anything different…that said, he didn’t deserve to be murdered…no one does…geez…
September 12th
Well…it’s nice having this thing working this morning so I can get my day started right…slept okay last night and didn’t get out of be til after 6 and that has become a pattern that I don’t mind…only up once overnight and that is a far cry from what was going on before with getting up 4 or 5 times…pretty sore today and I may take an ibuprofen before I get on the bike…not sure why that would be but my thighs are burning as they have been for a couple of days…oh, well…I do need to hit the library after the rides today since I’m down to the last book and don’t want to run out over the weekend…I do need to feed the lawn for the last time this year today since it’s going to rain tomorrow and I would really like to get the lawn to green up some…and I need to bundle the branches I cut off the trees to put them out Tuesday…I had this thought with my debit card expiring next month…why the hell do they have to expire? I mean it’s just a way to access my checking account and it’s not like anything changes…just a pain in the butt…not much to do today…just a normal Friday that I need to get moving soon…more later…
Tried the burgers…
Well…wanted something easy for dinner today so I gave the burgers I got from DD a try…they are pretty darn good and, since they are fully cooked, it only took 50 seconds in the microwave to get it hot so that works out really well…not sure how my body is going to react to the first beef in a couple of years but it should be okay…the big blue cruise ship was back again this morning for the third time in 10 days…and I saw them unload and load the tender they use to get people to shore when the ship is not at the dock…it fits in a tunnel at the back of the boat…pretty cool…I did get the 3rd book read just a few minutes ago so I can go to the library and get three more tomorrow so I’ll not run out over the weekend…didn’t do much else today other than ride and now the ARCA race from Bristol is on and then the truck race is on right after that…I still like to watch Bristol so I won’t burn any of the good shows I have left on plex…
The boat had turned around…
Well…as we hear more about the murders of 11 people by the idiot trump, it just keeps getting worse…idiot boy justified it by saying they we killed because they were “attacking” the US…a flimsy excuse that has fallen apart over the past 24 hours when the NYT reported that the boat had turned around and was heading back to Venezuela before it was attacked…and high ranking military lawyers have said that any “threat” that could be argued evaporated once the boat turned around…so this attack needs to be called what it is…the deliberate murder of 11 people by the idiot and anyone who was involved should go to jail including the pilots who bombed the boat…geez…
September 11th
Well…as you could see, the site was down all day yesterday and just came back up about a half hour ago so I missed a day of these…and I do miss when I can’t do this…so here we go…had an okay day yesterday and got a lot of things done…go some deals at DD of 4 pounds of sirloin burgers for 10 bucks and 24 ozs of hard salami for 1.99…yeah, I know…salami is probably the worst food but I can still taste it so I got some for the freezer…the big blue cruise ship is back for the third time in 10 days and I saw how they shuttle people in to the dock when it’s anchored off the dock…they have a little tender that they winch up into the back of the ship…probably seats a dozen people…pretty cool…and I still grin that huge cruise ships anchor 4 blocks from my house…got a couple of good rides in this morning and it was nice that there was little wind…don’t have a lot to do today but read and clean a little and finish the coffee…and try to start catching up here…more later…
A productive day…
Well…had a pretty productive day today and still was done just a little after 11am…started with two rides and then worked on the yard for a couple of hours…trimmed all the low hanging branches on the trees and then mowed the lawn and pulled some weeds…and finished up the book that I started yesterday and I’m about to start the 2nd one after I do this…the big blue cruise ship came in today but they couldn’t get to the dock with the Irish music festival closing the park that the dock connects to…and that’s the 2nd time they couldn’t dock in the past two weeks…DD has some deals tomorrow so I need to do three stores tomorrow…they have fully cooked steak burgers on sale for 4 pounds for 10 bucks and I have room in the freezer for them…and a 24 ounce mixed salami package for 1.99…so the freezer will be filled again after eating out of it for the past couple of weeks…think I’m going to get some chicken breasts at aldis just to have some here, too, okay, it’s time to start the new book…
Now trump’s a murderer…
Well…let’s add the big one…murder..to the list of the idiot trump’s crimes….on September 2nd he ordered an airstrike on a boat just off Venezuela’s coast the he said was a direct danger to the US and killed the 11 people on board…no search no stopping to the boat to look for the drugs he lied were there…just the illegal murder of 11 people…and the thing is there is no damn way a boat with outboard motors could carry enough fuel to reach any US shore…so this is all just a lie and if I’m the pilot of the plane, I be looking over my shoulder since he killed 11 civilians and that is a hanging offense according to the UCMJ…and trump should be watching his back, too since killing civilians is a war crime and his ass could end up in the Hague…it SHOULD end up in the Hague and be tried since you know if he gets away with murder here what’s to stop him from doing the same thing everywhere including in the US…everyone who was involved with the decision should go to jail…and now…geez..
September 9th
Well…man, I’m worn out today and it’s going to be a struggle to get out on the bike at sunrise…and I have a busy day to get done what I want to…need to trim the trees and mow the lawn after the rides…and I do need to continue the cleaning to get this place stripped down…I did get the first book started yesterday and hope to have some time to read this afternoon…not sure what the meals are going to be today but I did thaw a chicken leg quarter so I’ll bake that this afternoon with some fries maybe…I could make a big plate of chips and cheese to use the last tomato…who knows? Going to have to put long pants on for the rides…at least the first one since it’s only 47 right now and I really don’t want to be cold…darn, I would really like to just sit here and take a day off today but I won’t…have almost 700 days in a row of riding and need to keep that going….not much to do today…just need to get moving and get ready to get on the bike and I hope to be done with everything by noon or so….more later…
