Well…that wasn’t too tough…made it to Baltimore and now I’m petting cats and getting this one out…going through TSA in GR was a breeze and only took about 5 minutes…the flight was full and loud so I had earplugs in all the way…sitting behind the wing in a 737 is not the best seat to have…but I made it here with no problem and the big adventure starts tomorrow evening about 8 when we fly out of Philly to Heathrow….now I need to look for a topic for a political one for today…more later…
September 18th
Well…this is going to be a short one since I need to get out the door =in a little while…didn’t sleep for crap last night with the thoughts of the trip on my mind and trying to remember everything I need to do to prep the house and me for it….and I need to shut this laptop down so the battery will last til I get through the TSA line before boarding…I’ll try to come back for another one when I get to Baltimore…here we go…more later
NBC is attacking the US
Well…I sure as hell didn’t watch the idiot trump on “Meet the Press” this morning but the general consensus is that the whole thing was a mistake for NBC since they let him come on and just keep on lying through the whole interview…and what the hell legitimate news organization lets a person who is under 91 felony charges and who is a proven rapist come on tv for a whole hour just like it’s the most normal thing in the world? Whoever is running NBC should be fired today along with the new anchor who just let him lie and lie with no pushback or fact checking…a debacle like this used to be career ending and it still should be…there is no place for letting this felon spew his toxic bullshit…by allowing this, NBC is complicit in attacking our country as much as any terrorist….geez…
Ready to go…
Well…after a little bit of work today, I’m ready to go on the trip tomorrow…got my early check in done and now I just need to shut the house down in the morning and head for GR…not sure if I’m going to get to one of these before I get to Baltimore but I will get to it at some point….I am finally starting to get excited about the trip even though it’s going to be a lot of work and I’m going to be completely worn out when it’s over but it is still so darn cool…I did notice that I have a loose toenail from whacking my left foot about a week ago so I put some super glue in my bag in case I need it…I did stay off the bike today since I didn’t want to have any chance of hurting myself and I really did need the rest…going to take it easy the rest of the day….have already gotten rid of all of the food out of the fridge except for the milk and I’ll put that out in the morning if there is any left….so, now I’m just going to watch the Lions…have already taken care of the car and put the battery box and coolant in the trunk in case I need them….
September 17th
Well…up at the normal time today and that is around 6 or so…it’s the last day before I leave for my trip and I have details to take care of today….but not a lot of work so it will be an easy one…just need to give myself a haircut and clean up my beard but I can’t put my tooth brush in until tomorrow morning….I am a little apprehensive about flying tomorrow since I haven’t done it in years and things have changed….I think it’s going to be a relaxing day today with the F1 race on at 8 and then the Lions play at 1 so that will be a good background noise for the day….no bike ride today with the rain that is coming in and I wanted to rest my body anyway to make sure I don’t hurt tomorrow….I need to get some rest today and maybe even a nap later but I slept okay last night so that might not be necessary…will have to get rid of the perishable food later but I don’t have a lot of that since I planned for the trip….need to check in for the flight in a few minutes to make it easier at the airport tomorrow…not much to do today…just need to take it easy and get a few things done so I can get out of here by 8 tomorrow morning….more later…
Jobs…
Well…just wanted to do a shorty on an article I just read about a comparison of jobs created by repub and dem presidents…and there really isn’t any comparison…since the end of the cold war there have been 49 million jobs created…and guess how many are from each party…yeah, you know where I’m going with this, don’t you? Of the 49 million jobs net, the dems created 47 million of them or 98%…and that just shows that the dems economic policies are ones that work for everyone while the repub policies of tax cuts for the rich doesn’t do anything but make the rich richer…and we need to shout this from the rooftops since people believe that repubs are better on the economy than the dems when that is not even close to true…geez…
September 16th
Well…had another okay night of sleep last night but I’m pretty sore for some reason and it might be just from sleeping wrong…it’s cold in here this morning and I’m not sure why…it’s 57 out there and I shouldn’t feel cold…need to get on the bike by 7:30 this morning so I can be back here by 9 when F1 qualifying starts so I need to pour coffee down me and get jump started….and I need to remember to make a full pot of coffee tomorrow so I can have some Monday morning to get going…still have the high pollen warning on the bottom of the screen and I can really feel that today and it’s probably going to get worse as I get out and ride and then mow the lawn…it will probably be an easy day after the ride and mowing…don’t have much to do other than that and I really just want to get the trip started….have to make sure I do my rehab exercises today since I skipped them yesterday and I do need to keep up the healing…not much to do today…just going to wing it but need to watch Man U play at 10 so the mowing will wait til the afternoon….more later….
A pretty good day…
Well…it’s been a pretty good day but I didn’t get much done other than getting the flu shot and running an errand…I did clean the bathroom today so I’ll have a clean one when I get back…I think I’m having a little reaction to the flu shot but that’s pretty normal…my arm hurts a bit and my neck even hurts on that side but I’ll hit it with some biofreeze here in a bit to see if that will help…I do have everything packed but had to unzip the big part of the case to get my toiletries bag out since I forgot some stuff that needs to go in and I need to put my toothbrush and beard trimmer in…another race on tonight so that will be the entertainment for the evening….now it’s time to take it easy for a bit before the night starts…
Americans are crazy…
Well…with the latest polls out that show the frickin idiot trump tied with Joe Biden really means that Americans are crazy…or stupid, or delusional…they even rate them the same on honesty and criminality…and that last one just makes me shake my head…the idiot charged with 91 felonies is the same as Jo Biden who has never been charged with a crime? The moron who tried to overthrow the government is rated the same as Joe who has done more for the country in 3 years than any president in history…the asshole who is one of only two presidents to lose jobs in his presidency is rated the same as Joe who has created 12 million jobs in his first three years? The dumbest president in history who added 7 trillion dollars to the debt in one term is rated the same as Joe who has taken the deficit down by a trillion dollars a year cleaning up after the disaster of trump? You get my point…anyone who thinks that idiot boy can compare to Joe in any way is just willfully stupid…and they would like nothing better to return to the circus of trump so they can continue to “own the libs” while the country burns and the rich steal it all…
Well, darn…
Well…darn, went out to get my vaccinations this morning and found that the covid vaccine has been delayed at least at Meijers until the end of the month so I’ll have to get it when I get back…I did get my flu shot and that is a good thing sine the flu is increasing in the UK…I was going to mask up on the trip anyway so no big deal…
