Well…that wasn’t too bad….didn’t get up til 6 or so and slept okay but there is a huge need for coffee right now and it is a fresh coffee day so that is a good thing….but, the allergies are already pretty bad even with just getting up so I will be suffering all day today…and I’m on a schedule this morning with needing to get out on the bike by 7:30 to be back here by 9 for Monaco qualifying…it looks like they have changed the weather forecast so I may be able to ride twice today…it was supposed to storm all day and now it’s down to 50% and I am not sure how I feel about that…I do need the time on the bike to get to 600 miles but I was really looking forward to taking a day off and cleaning and maintaining the bike…I think I will clean it after the first ride this morning since it is filthy and the shifter is starting to hang up and that is annoying…so, it looks like not much is going to get done again today other than cooking…I did try some spaghetti sauce that Tom made and it is pretty damn good so that will be one meal and I have some chicken that needs to be cooked so it will be easy…I do need to get some other stuff thawing to run the instant pot Monday…more later…
Let’s go, Nancy…
Well…with the news from yesterday that the idiot trump and his toady Barr are going to use the justice department to attack people who trump thinks did him wrong, with trump going so far as to bleat treason when he really has no clue what the word even means, it time to go Nancy Pelosi…it’s time to start impeachment to protect this country from this absolutely unfit asshole and let the entire world know who trump is and stop this ruination of our country and institutions. This is not the time to even consider politics in this decision, it is imperative to get this process started or there won’t be any politics to worry about anymore…there won’t be any country left after the repubs are done with it…their constant graft and lies and lawbreaking needs to be stopped…and I don’t want to hear the argument that impeachment could cost us the House or get trump re-elected…surveys already say that 54% of the American people already won’t vote for trump…so do you think that after all of trump’s crimes are revealed live on tv that more people would vote for him? Let’s go, Nancy…it’s time to protect this country and let the chips fall where they may…impeach…
May 24th
Well…I finally turned a 4:22 morning into a 6:22 morning but I don’t know if that is going to make any difference since I still feel pretty crappy this morning…my allergies freaked right out last night and even a red dot and flonase didn’t work and I was sneezing and coughing all night…don’t look forward to this all summer…I did get out to have some fun yesterday with pool with Tom and it was nice to get the hell out of here for a change..and a top down run out and back left me with a little sunburn even with having 30 sunscreen on…it looks like I have the coolant leak figured out in the car since it was dry under it and that is a relief since I just don’t want to get under it until I have a garage to do it in…didn’t get a lot done yesterday other than a single bike ride and today looks the same with the rain coming in around noon so that will mean only one ride again today…that is putting a dent in my goal of getting to 600 miles for the month but I will get to 500 so that isn’t bad…I should get some cleaning in today since both the kitchen and bathroom need work and the living room can use a once over, too…but, I need coffee right now and to read the news some…more later…
This is pretty funny…
Well…decided to not do a second ride today with the wind blowing over 20 and gusting to 30 or so…so, I thought I’d do one of these before I try to take a nap to compensate for getting up before 5 this morning…I just read something that is pretty damn funny..it seems that this morning, Nancy Pelosi called on the idiot trump’s family or staff to intervene with him before he hurts himself or the country given the spectacle of his meltdown yesterday. Now, you know I’m an old guy and have been around for a while, but in all of those years I’ve never heard a speaker of the House ask a president’s family to intervene before he hurts himself…and trump’s reactions this morning shows that she has set up house in his head rent free and is owning the moron in chief and that makes me laugh out loud. I wonder how this will set with the “great businessman” to be roundly ridiculed by everyone who saw his little hissy fit in the Rose Garden yesterday? Meltdown, meltdown, meltdown….impeach this ass right now….
May 23rd
Well…another 4:54 morning and I am getting damn tired of them…that makes about 4 1/2 hours of sleep and I am going to be hurting later today…oh, well…and I am hurting damn near everywhere again…it struck me yesterday that the pain is almost the same as it was when I had to give up running and I think it’s from too much riding but I am not going to give that up too…doesn’t hurt too much this morning so I think I’ll live through it…they did bring my new appliances yesterday and it is going to take a while to get used to the new noises they make…the basket of the washer is big enough to put almost all of my clothes in at once and that is kind of weird…and they have all kind of sensors on them that set the temp and water level and that’s almost too damn modern for me…but, I have clean clothes so I guess that’s all I needed…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same…I do have to do the grocery run and get a bike ride in but that is about it…my bathroom needs a cleaning so I may get to that today…but who knows? I’m not too motivated right now but I can’t have coffee until after I get back from groceries…and that will be an hour and a half…damn, I hate getting up early…more later..
The toddler in chief holds his breath…
Well..damn, trump really is a toddler…after storming out of a meeting after three minutes with Pelosi and Schumer that was supposed to be about how to start fixing our crumbling infrastructure, the toddler in chief went out to talk to reporters and whine that he won’t do his job until congress stops investigating him…the only thing missing was him jumping up and down and holding his breath. Is this enough repubs? Is it finally enough that this moron criminal won’t even talk to anyone about his frickin job unless they cave to his blackmail? You can see the meltdown coming and it is really going to hit the fan when the appeals court that has the case about his obstruction by not providing his financial statements rules against him and Mazars has to hand all of it over. Today was such a childish spectacle of an entitled idiot coming apart when he was told no you can’t have ice cream before dinner…the ball is in your court dems, it is now time to get the impeachment ball rolling and remove this obviously unfit toddler from office…
May 22nd
Well…running a little late today with not getting out of bed until almost 6:30…not sure how I slept but I am pretty sore this morning and my calves are hurting for some reason…I did do a double on the bike yesterday but I do that often and they never hurt before..damn, I’m getting old…maybe it’s because I went much harder than I planned on the second ride? Who knows? I did get out and run some errands yesterday to get some food and get my mega tickets that I haven’t checked yet…I do need to win 400 million dollars…the guys didn’t bring my new appliances yesterday and I am a little irritated about that…I do need a washer that works so I can get some laundry done…I think I’ll bitch to the office if they don’t come today…or, maybe not…don’t really need the washer for a couple of days but I do need it by the end of the week…it looks like I won’t be getting out on the bike until later today since it is raining out there right now but I need to do doubles to get to my goal of 500 miles for the month…ha, it just struck me that I’m going to do 500 miles in the month that the Indy 500 is run…that made me laugh…not much to do today….going to just ease into the day since I don’t feel that hot and I’ll decide later how much cleaning I’ll do….more later…
One down…many, many to go..
Well….guess what? You’re getting another one early this morning as I wait for the guys to bring the new appliances…and this is a little bit of good news for those of us who thinks the law applies to everyone. Just yesterday, a court decided that yes, idiot boy trump’s accounting firm Mazars HAS to hand over 10 years of trump’s financial records to the House Oversight committee and the ruling is a strongly worded affirmation that the House does have the authority to get any information they need to carry out their duties and the fact that he refused a stay while idiot boy’s lawyers appeal the decision says that the judge feels that the decision will survive appeal…as long as trump’s hand picked judges don’t overturn hundreds of years of precedent and ignore the clear intent of the constitution. So, the dam starts to break and this is just the first of many losses that trump is going to suffer as he breaks the law every day trying to cover up his crimes….impeach…
May 21st
Well…feeling a little run down this morning and I know it’s from not eating enough this time since I didn’t have anything for dinner last night but a little potato salad…and my stomach is roiled some this morning, too, so I may have to make some toast or something for breakfast…slept okay last night but both shoulders hurt again today and that is getting a little annoying…my legs were okay on the bike yesterday and taking a day off seems to have worked but we’ll see when I do a double today…if I do a double today…have a couple of errands to run after they come with the new appliances this morning…my DD store has packages of 20 ozs of brats for 1.49 and I am going to splurge and eat some bad food for a change…oh, and boneless skinless chicken for 1.49 a pound, too, so I’ll have protein for the weekend….I also have to run to Meijer’s to take back some wax that the sprayer broke the first time I tried to use it and get my Mega tickets for tonight…400 mil and I could use the cash…I do have laundry to do today and I can’t wait to use the new washer and dryer….more later…
Some good news for a change…
Well…as I said this morning, my clothes washer died yesterday with the agitator stopping so I put in a repair request online this morning…and that is really convenient…and a couple of the guys came this morning to tell me that they are bringing me a new washer and dryer tomorrow…and Chris told me that I have the last set of originals from when this place was built 25 years ago so that was weird…that was good news since the old ones were just worn out and so damn noisy I couldn’t hear anything else in here…and, when I got the mail this morning, right in front was a letter from the IRS…and normally, that is never a good thing but this time it was just a notice from them saying that I overpaid my taxes and they were sending me a check for 156 bucks…and the check was in the same batch of mail! So, I have to figure out how to spend it…maybe a new pair of shorts? Or 2/3rds of a set of tires? Not sure yet but it is a good problem to have…
