Well…just wanted to do a short one on the deepening delusion of the idiot boy that was revealed in and interview with tucker the other night…when he was arrested and arraigned last week, the idiot trump to tucker there were people all over the place crying and apologizing for processing him…and he emphasized that is was “grown men” who were crying…and I wonder why anytime anyone is around idiot boy, they start crying…now, I would understand laughing since he is just so frickin ridiculous a person, but crying? Yeah I guess I can imagine that once the person realizes what a chump he was for supporting the orange cancer…it would be a human reaction…oh, right…these folks are not human and show it every day…geez…
April 12th
Well…I was up and down so much last night I feel like a piston…and I am really feeling it right now…and I still need to do the grocery run today and that is going to be work…didn’t sleep much and I’m not sure why….oh, well…it looks like it’s warm enough to put the top down on the car this morning but the wind is blowing almost 20 out there so I’m not sure what I’m going to do about the rides today…won’t go outside in that so maybe back on the indoor bike after groceries….ha, the little weather app on my lower banner has a new one today…”fire weather” I guess from the fact that it’s so dry out here with high winds that are going to gust to 40 today….not sure what else I’m going to do today but I have some bean plants that are getting tall and spindly that should be planted but I need to check the weather to see how cold the cold snap is going to be…okay, the lowest temp is going to be 36 so I can plant and cross my fingers that we don’t get any frost…it’s going to be 75 tomorrow so I can open the house up to air it out for the first time this year….not much to do today…just need to get the grocery run out of the way and figure out the rides…DD hasn’t updated their website so I may have to wait til tomorrow to hit there…more later…
Got some work done…
Well…it was an okay day today with getting a few things done…got the two rides in into a 15mph wind and my biopsy sore is getting slowly better so that’s cool…and it is nice to have a tuned up bike to ride…didn’t make any adjustments to the shifter but it worked better today…probably from hosing it out to get the grit out of it…after I made lunch, I went out to spot the weeds with weed killer and then planted two garlic cloves that had sprouted in the cupboard…I may have some green peppers coming up downstairs along with one Jalapeno so I may hold off on getting plants for a couple of days…going to have plenty of tomatoes both regular and cherry and lots of bean plants but I’m going to still put more seeds in for more…can’t have too many beans….will probably plant the rest of everything tomorrow and then just keep it wet to see what comes up…and I need to plant more flower seeds along the side of the house…no sense in keeping them in the packets since they were only 11 cents each….now it’s time to wind down for the night and watch another movie at 7…
This would be funny if it wasn’t sick…
Well…with the obvious corruption of Clarence Thomas back in the news and the call of the dems to Roberts to do a quick and in depth investigation of all of it, it is just so funny they are asking Roberts to do something he has already ignored at least once…the dems who wrote the new letter start out with saying “11 years ago” when they asked Roberts to investigate the last time and he did nothing but enable Thomas to continue his ethical lapses by never recusing himself from cases that had to do with his wife or companies he has investment in…I wonder what it will take to get Roberts of his butt? For someone who is supposed to be concerned with his “legacy”, Roberts has presided over the most corrupt court in the nation’s history and won’t do his job as chief justice to enforce even the smallest ethics guidelines…and he sat on his hands as the repubs put liar after liar on the court when he could have at least kept Kavanaugh off it…but no, he was complicit in the courts slide into illegitimacy where only 20% of Americans trust the court anymore because he did nothing to stop it…and it the dem senators who wrote him this new letter thinking he’s going to act differently, they are either stupid or part of the problem…we need a Judicial Committee investigation, and we need it right now…geez..
April 11th
Well…running really late today and I feel pretty worn out…the idiots to the north of me were blasting their thumpy assed bullshit last night so I had to make a noise call and I am getting so tired of it…I’m starting to think that I need to find a place in the country where there isn’t anyone near me…might start looking for that today….slept okay last night but I’m just not feeling that way right now….had an okay day yesterday and got the bike tuned up and did 30 miles before that…going to do two rides again today but I may go out and try to find some pepper plants since none of my seeds sprouted…that will probably cost 10 bucks or so but I really want some green and Jalapeno peppers….damn, I’m pretty depressed this morning….but I will be able to put the top down on the car if I go out so that will make me smile…still waiting for the temp to come up so I can get on the bike…it’s only 51 right now and I need it to be at least 53 or it will be too cold….not much to do today…I sure hope DD has some protein on sale this week…have emptied the freezer and need to re-stock it…not sure what I’m going to have for food today…it the chicken legs I took out of the freezer have thawed, maybe those…and maybe a twice baked potato…who knows? More later..
Got the bike serviced…
Well…got 30 miles in today and only did a little damage that won’t keep me off the bike tomorrow..and I washed and serviced it today since it had gotten pretty dirty riding in the wet last week…tightened up the rear swingarm bushing since it had some play in it, then lubed it, the chain, rear shock, front forks, and the idler wheels on the rear shifter since they had started to make some noise… and I just planted some leftover tomato sprouts in the garden to see if they will live…don’t really need them since I have about a dozen up downstairs but I hate throwing them away…I do have 16 bean plants so I think that will be enough and I may even have some green pepper seeds sprouting…still need to plant the broccoli and arugula and I think I’ll do that tomorrow….along with lettuce seeds just for a laugh….so I will have things to do tomorrow afternoon after I get the rides in…
Keep treading right, repubs….
Well…as the repub party keeps going further and further right and uses some actually fascist shenanigans to get what they couldn’t in any election, the rest of the country is leaving them behind on every issue that is important to real Americans. Starting with the “big lie” that trump won the 2020 election…64% of repubs truly believe that he did even though there was no voter fraud at all…and that is compounded by the fact that they refuse to believe that any election they lose is legitimate…on covid the general public knows it is more dangerous than the flu at 64% while only 40% of repubs do…and as ghoulish as it sounds, natural selection is going to take many more of their voters than our side and I think they made a bad bet going against the vaccine…on the January 6th attack, 43% of repubs think idiot boy was not responsible for any of it and dems and independents were at 60% that trump was responsible….on women’s rights it is a cavern between the repubs an everyone else with only 25% saying the overturning of Roe was a bad thing while almost 80% of the sane people said it was…and this same cavern has oped on every other issue and if the repubs think they can woo back the independents and some dems, they really are delusional…and when fail districts are drawn like they were here in Michigan, the repubs lose because all they have is hate to sell…no ideas or policies that help people…just more and more groups they hate and laws that hurt people…and most Americans don’t want that…geez…
April 10th
Well…you know, I just realized that I’m never going to look younger or feel better than I do right now and that sucks…and it still hurts in the biopsy site so the bike rides today are going to be a chore….woke up at 5:41 today but laid in bed til almost 7 and I’m barely awake 30 minutes later…first cup of coffee going in and that better work soon…it was nice to get out and work on the yard yesterday but my side hurts from raking…I wonder if I’m ever going to be pain free again? Yeah, I’m a little depressed this morning with all of the pain going on and I know it could be helped with an ibuprofen but I just don’t like taking stuff….I did make twice baked potatoes yesterday and I think that is going to be in my diet for a while…not a lot of work and they taste much better than baked potatoes…more calories but I can take that….I made two of them so I can have another one with lunch….not sure if I’m going to wear shorts on the bike today but I may wait until it’s warm enough to do that…it’s only 51 out there right now and that is borderline….not much to do today…just going to sit here and have another cup of coffee as I figure out what the day is going to look like…don’t feel like doing much but I know that is a trap that I can’t fall into….more later…
I’m damn tired of being sore…
Well…after doing the hard rides yesterday and suffering the pain from them last night, I decided to take the day off today and just clean the yard up and plant some flowers and veggies…but that made me hurt even more and I am getting damn tired of everything I do making me sore….I mean I was only on the yard for an hour and a half and didn’t do any heavy lifting but I had to heat my back when I got done and now everything hurts again…so, do I take something for it or just suffer? I really do hate getting old…so I’ll stop complaining…I did check the coolant in the car and it is still full after the 100 mile trip Wed so that is cool and I mush have fixed it right…I planted some of the odd stuff today with leeks, squash, cukes, radishes, and carrots…and I still have lettuce, broccoli, and dill to plant…have some of them up downstairs so I may just plant those…have 16 bean plants up and I am going to get those planted next week along with the tomatoes…still having a hell of a time with the peppers so I may not have any of those for the second year in a row…or I may just go out and buy a few that will be larger and that might work…I’ll have to see where I can get those out here…maybe depot…we’ll see….
Now the repubs can murder and get away with it…
Well…damn, you are not going to believe how far down the fascist rat hole Texas has gone in the past week…after telling his friends that he was going to murder some protesters in 2020, a man in Texas did just that…he drove his car into a crowd of protesters and when one of then walked up to his car, he shot him 5 times…trying to use Texas’ “stand your ground” laws to protect himself from a murder charge…but just last week, a jury unanimously convicted him of murder…but here comes the twist…because tucker called out the governor abbott for letting this go to trial, abbott is now going to pardon this murderer because I guess it’s not a crime anymore for a repub to murder people in the street…and folks, this is what fascism looks like…where the in group can do whatever the hell they want without consequences because they control the government and have no morals or respect for the rule of law…and it is spreading into every red state…we need to vote these fascist assholes out and now….
