Well…the news just keeps getting more dire about the storm that is supposed to hit here Thursday and continue through the weekend with over a foot of snow and steady winds of almost 40 mph gusting to 50 or so and the high is going to be about 17 Saturday…so that will make the wind chill way below zero…so, I need to get my groceries Wed and have enough to get through the weekend which really isn’t that much since I don’t eat much…but I am going to get a turkey at 55 cents a pound to make Sunday and get the ingredients I need for ham soup if the weather is going to be crappy, but that will fill the freezer back up again…I will have enough soup for the whole winter, though, and that will be cool…not looking for ward to shoveling a couple of times a day for the next week or so…I suppose I could work on the dining room trim…we’ll see….
Four charges for trump…
Well…the January 6th hearing is over with 4 charges referred to the Justice Department against the idiot trump and his cronies…1. Obstruction of an Official Proceeding 2. Conspiracy to defraud the United States 3. Conspiracy to make false statements 4. Insurrection
Yow! All felonies and all pretty damn serious and they are referring some of conspirators in the House to the ethics committee for failure to do their jobs and cooperate with the investigation….and the committee was clear that there are many, many more people who were involved in this conspiracy that will also be referred as part of this package…I am still waiting for idiot boy’s reaction to the committee slapping him in the face and that will be glorious….more later….
Going to be a bad week for idiot boy…
Well…is it wrong that I am almost giddy about the January 6th committee meeting this afternoon at 1? I don’t think so and I think it’s going to be a bad week for idiot boy and some of his closest cronies when the last of the evidence against them is presented today and then the entire report comes out Wed…and I really can’t wait for the idiot’s meltdown that is going to come later today….there was a preview of his lunacy over the weekend and it didn’t disappoint so I’m hoping the same thing will happen today….but I am still a little pissed that it’s been almost two years without him being charged with anything when there is enough evidence in the Mueller report to charge him with obstruction…10 counts of it and that is before the Georgia call or stealing thousands of government documents that he admits taking…so, I’ll be watching and to do that I need to get everything done I was planning here in the next hour and a half….so buckle up people, this is going to be fun….
December 19th
Well…cripes…the damn computer updated last night and it has taken me a half hour to get it running again….didn’t sleep much last night and was up at 5:04 and out of bed by 6:23 and I’m pretty worn out…didn’t get on the bike yesterday but need to do two rides today to keep from getting fat….did the math last night and riding the bikes burned 240,000 calories this year and prevented me from gaining 80 pounds but I sure don’t feel like that’s enough…I wonder if I should do three rides a day? That would suck since even doing two downstairs take up a lot of time and uses up my whole morning…but what else do I have to do? Yeah, I could be doing woodwork in the dining room but I’m just not motivated to do that right now….hmmmm….didn’t get a damn thing done yesterday but I will try to do something today…the rugs need vacuuming and there is dust everywhere and I remembered that I do have to replace the furnace filter so I’ll get one of those Wed when I do the grocery run…we’re into that cold spell that was coming and it’s only 23 degrees out there and I feel cold sitting here…had to have a blanket over me last night just watching tv….not much to do today…just going to have more coffee and then get on the bike by 8 so I can get the second ride in by 10 or so…I do need to find out when the January 6th committee hearing is on so I can watch it…but I will just wing the rest of the day…don’t have to cook with making the big ham yesterday and still having soup in the fridge and I’ll be eating off that all week….I think I may get the ingredients for ham soup this week to use the three ham bones I’ll have after I finish this ham….but I don’t want to think about anything right now….more coffee….more later….
That was some match…
Well…congrats to Argentina for winning the final match at the world cup…what a game! They were up 2-0 in the 80th minute and then France scored two in about 90 seconds and then it was a slug fest through overtime when Argentina scored first and then France scored in the last two minutes to tie it…and then Argentina won it in a shootout…I did want France to win but I’m happy for Messi and Argentina…probably one of the best matches I have ever seen…and a pretty good world cup…now we need to get to a final at some point or at least win our first knockout round in 4 years….
December 18th
Well…damn, I am breaking my routine this morning with not going out to get the Sunday paper…they haven’t plowed the streets out here and there is at least 8 inches of snow on them and I don’t want to get the car stuck….and I only get the paper for the ads anyway and I got the ones I want in the little paper they deliver on Friday….feel a little crappy today and still think I’ve got a cold so I’m going to act like I have one and take care of myself today…and that means taking it easy and no bike rides…I am going to make a big meal today with a ham and all of the sides that I will need to get in the oven by 10 or so….and the world cup final is on at ten, too, so I’ll have something to watch…and the Lions play later so it will be a lazy day that I am looking forward to…will have to go out and shovel the snow again and I guess there is another big storm coming so I need to go out for supplies at some point but I’ll wait til they plow to do that….not much to do today….just need to have lots more coffee to get my brain jump started or maybe I’ll just let the morning unfold slowly and sit here a bit….more later…
Joe Biden makes us some money…
Well…are all the right wingers so stupid? The answer to that is yes by the way…and it was shown today with the latest attack on Joe Biden that has been floating around the dead bird site where these morons are bitching about Biden buying oil to refill the national reserve after using some of the oil in it to try to keep the prices down…and they are going on and on that Biden is stupid since they think the price is higher than what he sold the oil for a few months back…but, of course, they have all wrong…when Biden sold the oil, the price was in the mid 90 dollars per barrel…and, as of today, the price is anywhere from 74 to 78 bucks a barrel…so he’s MAKING 20 bucks a barrel…so, right wingers I’ll explain it for you…if you sell something for a higher price than when you buy it back, you make a profit off the sales…and by profit I mean you get to pay less than you were paid for the same oil…see how that works? Do you understand now? No? I didn’t think you would…morons…
A conundrum…
Well…have been having computer problems today with it getting really slow…it wouldn’t even restart so I had to unplug it and take the battery out of it…and then getting my browsers reloaded took me about a half hour but here I am…I have a conundrum…just noticed that Meijers has turkeys on sale this week for only 55 cents a pound…so, what do I make for the holidays? I am going to make another ham tomorrow but do I buy a third ham later in the week or do I get a turkey and make that instead? I think I may do that since I can get a 12 pounder for around 6 bucks and I’m down to only one container of soup in the freezer from the last batch and I should make ham soup first…and I probably shouldn’t have anymore salty ham…so it looks like I’ll get a turkey wed and it should be thawed or close to it by Sunday so I won’t have to think about protein for the next two weeks….and then I need to just stop eating at all for about a month when I get off the bike for three weeks…ick….okay, time to shovel the slush off the walks….and then salt them…
I think I have a cold…
Well….damn, I think I may have a cold…have been coughing and feeling a little worn out today and my head is completely plugged up, too…so how the hell could that happen with always having a mask on when I go out? It does feel a little like I’m not eating enough and I wonder if a chicken leg and a handful of baked fries is enough for the big meal today? All I’m going to have for dinner is a bowl of turkey soup and a couple of crackers and that is the same as I had yesterday…let’s see, how many calories is that? 300 for the leg quarter and probably close to that for the fries and 100 for a glass of milk…so 700 or so and the bowl of soup is about 200 and the crackers are about a hundred and a hundred for another glass of milk, so 400 so that makes it 1100 for the day for the past two days…but I’m still gaining weight and I just hate it…I did do two hard rides this morning but that’s only about 700 calories burned…okay the calculator on the internet says that riding as I do burns 700 calories per ride but that just can’t be…if it was I wouldn’t be gaining weight…crap…oh, well….
It’s a sports day…
Well…after a brutal second ride, I’m now settling in for a big sports day with a cup of coffee and the heating pad on my back…and it has started out good with Croatia and Morocco each scoring a goal in the first ten minutes of the match…and after that, I’ll go out and shovel the snow for the first time and I’m sure not the last time since we are supposed to get 4-8 inches out here today…and then lunch and football games start and run for the rest of the day…so, I think I’ll veg out and just watch sports all day…I may clean a bit but I may not…who knows? More later…
