Well…running really late this morning even with waking up at 5:13…but I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep and must have since the next time I looked at my phone it was 7…so that puts me behind for everything…should be on the bike already but I need coffee before I do that….I did get some stuff done yesterday and was pretty busy most of the day…even got two rides in and fed the lawn…I’m not sure what is going on with the lawn…doing everything I normally do with lawns and it’s not working…the front has dead patches all over it and the whole thing is turning brown so we’ll see if the food helps…might have to get more food next week since I’ve only fed it once this summer before yesterday…it would be nice if it would rain sometime….I did start to wind down the downstairs project yesterday and started putting some equipment away and that will continue over the next couple of months until I shut it down completely…need to start prepping to move even if I don’t know where I will be moving to…not much to do today…and that is true today…I may take the day off other than cooking and riding…and maybe a little cleaning….still feel pretty worn out but need to get going here in a minute….more later….
Trump is just nuts…part two…
Well…does this sound like a sane person to you? “And you have people coming over with bags of soup and the anarchists…start throwing it at our cops…and if it hits you, it’s worse than a brick because that’s got force…and when they get caught, they say, no, this is just soup for my family”…No? Good then maybe we are still sane enough to tell that trump truly is nuts…crazy…and it is getting worse..this one was in July preceding the super ninja airplane story from a few days back that made my jaw drop…is there any amount of delusion or crazy that will get the repubs to invoke the 25th amendment? What’s next? Invisible planes full of soup throwing anarchists who are hiding in Joe Biden’s basement? If this wasn’t so serious, it would be damn funny that any public figure would talk like that…or think that he should continue opening his mouth as he digs the hole he is in even deeper…but the troubling thing for this country is that over 40% of the people think this craziness is perfectly fine and they will vote for the idiot trump even as he descends further and further into his private delusions…maybe because they are delusional, too? Can’t think of a better explanation…geez…
September 2nd
Well…crap…back to sleeping bad again and was up at 4:24 again and couldn’t get back to sleep so this is going to be a long day….but it’s raining out there right now so I may have to go out on the bike a little later this morning….and that’s okay, we sure needed rain…my front lawn is dying and I can’t afford to put water on it…or as much as it needs….man, I’m tired….I did get a few things done yesterday…had an electrical socket fail so I had to put a new one of those in downstairs and I got some more grass seed but bought the wrong stuff so I have to run back out to Menards and get the right stuff before I do the grocery run this morning….if it keeps raining, I’ll probably do that early and since I can’t get on the bike until later and need to get that done…almost didn’t get on the bike for the second ride yesterday but finally got the energy to do it around 3:30 after I cleaned up the new bike and took it out for a ride around the neighborhood….I am damn tired of being sore all the time but I know the only way to stop that is not to ride twice a day…and I’m not ready for that yet….not much to do today….just the grocery run and I need to feed the lawn along with cleaning some but I’m not motivated at all right now so that will come later….I hope…more later….
Trump is just nuts…
Well…don’t know if you saw the latest unhinged interview that idiot boy did yesterday but the only conclusion that can be drawn from it is that he is just nuts…I mean drooling into his lap nuts…disconnected from reality nuts….and the whole interview was the moron pushing one conspiracy theory after another and he couldn’t even function in the softball fox interview where he was prompted and still couldn’t make any sense. He started out ranting about a Biden presidency saying “they” will control him and that it will be a revolution…never once explaining who “they” are but expressing the certainty of a madman that “they” are real…then he went on about the “people who are in the dark shadows” being the ones that are controlling Biden like a puppet…and he finished up this madman’s rant with another whopper of a lie that “somebody got on a plane this weekend and the plane was loaded with thugs wearing these dark uniforms and gear and this and that” and when asked where it was his answer was “I’ll tell you sometime but it’s under investigation right now”. Now we all know the idiot lies constantly so we can take the whole damn thing as a lie…but worse than that is that he truly sounds like a raving lunatic…and one that 40% of the country still thinks is the “best president ever”….as I write this, I’m shaking my head at how far the US has fallen due to trump and his minions….and November 3rd can’t come too soon….geez…
September 1st
Well…man, I feel like my batteries have run down completely this morning and I just can’t get moving…can’t remember feeling this crappy in quite a while and I’m sure I don’t like it…and yeah, part of it is from not eating enough…only had a brat and a blt all day yesterday and that is only about a thousand calories…it was funny that just riding once helped the pain in my legs so much…I was walking around here with just a little stiffness in the afternoon and I kind of liked it…not enough to skip the second ride every day but it is nice to know that when I cut back on riding my legs will heal…I think I may have to take a day off of everything soon and just veg…just fatigued and would really like to just melt into the couch for a day…but, I won’t….still have things to get done that I didn’t do yesterday…need to hit Menards this morning to get some more topsoil and grass seed to finish up the bare patches in the front yard and get a new plug for one that failed downstairs the other day…should probably start patching the back yard too….have lots of spots that have died back there and I need to keep watering to or the whole yard will die….not much to do today…that may be true if I can’t get moving soon…but I have to so I guess I’ll have more coffee and try a little harder….more later….
Got to see my grandson today…
Well…you know, it’s a pretty good day when you get to see your first grandchild for the first time….I got to go out this morning and hang out with my son and daughter in law for a while and hold my grandson and it was pretty damn cool….he is a big baby…9 1/2 pounds and 23 inches long at birth and he has lots of hair….oh, and the capper is he has my eyes…the exact color of mine and I think that is pretty cool, too…well…it’s the same color as my son’s, too since he has brown eyes….and he looks like both of them combined but I’m sure that will change over time…so now, I have to live a bit longer to see him grow up…can’t wait to see that….
We are going to have to purge every police department…
Well…not sure if you saw the footage the other day of the police in Kenosha attacking protesters there….and this has been going on for days but you know one group they aren’t attacking? The gun toting right wing assholes who have killed at least three people over the past few days…and what was the reaction of the cops to this? Yep, you guessed it…they asked these thugs if there was anything they needed, gave them water, and told them to keep up what they are doing….keep up what they’re doing? Like attacking protesters from the windows of their trucks with pepper spray? Like running protesters down with their cars? Like coming from other states to murder peaceful protesters? This kind of behavior from the police just reveals the deep seated racist rot that infest police departments across this country…in every damn state we see them teaming up with violent right wing assholes or ignoring their crimes to beat and kill peaceful protesters. The only solution for this rot is to purge every damn one of these racist assholes from every police department across this country and get rid of “qualified immunity” that allows the police to get away with their crimes and keep them from being held accountable…until this happens, there will only be more murder and more riots instigated by these fascists as the police stand by and root them on….
August 31st
Well…running a little late today with not getting up until almost 6…slept okay but feel pretty crappy today and I think it’s the ragweed and goldenrod that are flowering and driving my allergies nuts…and I’m pretty damn tired but still need to get out on the bike here in a few minutes…the swelling in my foot and ankle is finally coming down and if it keeps up, it may be back to normal in a couple of weeks…this is the longest it’s ever been puffy and I’m not sure what the cause is….it may be that the weather is not as hot as it has been all summer…but who knows? I didn’t go out to see my new grandson yesterday since he had a bad night and my son and daughter in law had been up all night with him…going to try again this morning and I hope it works out….need to get some photos for my friends to see…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks about the same…okay, I did get the lawn mowed and some clean up work done but I’m just not too motivated right now and I may take the day off after I get back….might even only do one ride today since I am pretty sore right now and probably should take an ibuprofen before I get on the bike….more later…
Don’t let the idiot blame Biden…
Well…I know I haven’t done many political ones lately but I am going to try to get better now that we are in the home straight to the election…if you’ve heard anything from the asshole in chief lately, the new talking point they are pushing is to blame Joe Biden for everything trump’s done….some kind of projection that we can’t let him get away with….just yesterday at another one of his virus spreading “rallies”, idiot boy rolled out the projection that you have to elect him or there will be a depression….hey moron, we are almost in a depression right now…20 million people out of work, the economy contracting at at 32% yearly rate, and the coming eviction/hunger crisis are the things that you see in a depression…and it’s happening on trump’s watch…Biden has nothing to do with it…and talking point number two is that cities will be in flames and rioting will be in every street….and again, trump is responsible for it…sending his brownshirts into Portland and Kenosha yesterday to attack peaceful protesters and even kill three of them…rolling through in their pickup trucks and pepper spraying protesters from the open windows….without the right wing assholes that trump is egging on to attack peaceful protests , there wouldn’t be any violence and if Biden is elected, the first amendment right to peacefully protest will be protected and right wing assholes will be locked up for the criminals they are. Look, you just have to remember that everything the idiot boy says is a lie…and also remember that projection is just part of trump’s many mental illnesses and they will get worse as the election goes on….so he just needs to go…get out and vote, please…we won’t survive if idiot boy gets another term…
August 30th
Well…that was a little different…slept through the night…mostly…but still got up at 5:30….that gave me a solid 6 hours of sleep…not enough but better than the 4 I have been getting…so I don’t feel too bad today…not even that sore this morning but that will change after I get on the bike in a few minutes….the swelling in my foot is even down some and it’s been almost 3 weeks since my toe hurt and that is weird….I did get two rides in yesterday and re-set the blocks that were taken out to put the new gas line in along with seeding more of the lawn to start taking care of the bald spots….but, I’m only doing one ride today since I am going out to my son’s house to see my new grandchild this morning and I really need to take one easy day a week to keep from feeling sore all the time….and I don’t think I’ll do any work on the house today…just going to read the paper and watch the start of the F1 race from Spa before I take off….I should have made some of the coffee that my brother gave me but I want to save that to enjoy leisurely…not on a morning when I need to get moving early….more later…
