Well…you would think that will all of the shit that is ready to hit the fan with Rudy Giuliani and his part in the extortion of Ukraine for his boss the idiot boy, that he would be laying low and not doing even more crimes…..if you think that, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. Ole Rudy is back at it, crisscrossing Europe meeting with every damn disgraced “prosecutor” and Putin toady trying to make what’s false true and support the right wing conspiracy theories that the Bidens were guilty of everything bad that has happened in the past 50 years including killing Jimmy Hoffa. I have a word for the SDNY and it’s investigators…get those damn charges that you are going to charge Rudy with on the fast track and lock his ass up so he can’t do any more damage to the country by his international crime spree. It’s just so damn ridiculous that all of us are going to pay the price for this un-elected asshole’s meddling in the world that could just lead to Russia increasing their attacks on Ukraine since Rudy is telegraphing that the only thing the US cares about is political bullshit that helps trump….I have just had enough of this crap…we are not the US of trump….geez…
December 6th
Well…running a little late today and couldn’t even get motivated to get out of bed after waking up at 5….so, it’s 7 and I’m just getting started on the first cup of coffee that I hope works pretty quickly…slept crappy again last night so were back at square on with that and it’s a little frustrating…but, I am so used to not sleeping well that it is no big deal…I don’t feel to bad this morning even with the crappy sleep but I feel like I’m in low gear that I hope the coffee will shift…I did get some work done on the dining room yesterday and need to sand the re-plaster today so I can get at painting it next week and today I need to clean out the spare room to get started working on the prep in there…but, this morning I need to run back out to the south end and pick up some venison from B so I can make tacos over the weekend…and he’s giving me some steaks that I’ll saute in garlic and butter and that will be yummy….my new soundbar for the tv is supposed to be here today and I can’t wait to hear how it sounds…if it works with my tv…my audio out is only optical and some tv’s don’t work with the modern equipment so we’ll see….have been saving some movies to watch with it so it could be movie night tonight if it works….I do need to get on the bike here as soon as it gets light so I can get that done before I head out to the south end around 10 and it is already warm enough to go…but it looks like next week is going to get ugly with highs wed of only 15…looks like a good day to hibernate….more later…
Barr has got to go…
Well…cripes, is everyone in trump’s orbit a damn racist asshole? It sure looks like it with the screed that William Barr delivered the other day in a speech…saying that there are some “communities” that need to cooperate and support the police more or they may just not have any police at all. Yeah, my jaw dropped too with the not even thinly veiled threat against communities of color who have been abused by police since the Jim Crow era and whose abuse continues to this day…and now ole Barr wants them to be appreciative for being abused? Coming from any political party but the completely corrupt repubs, this would have resulted in huge calls for Barr to resign immediately…but not the modern repubs…nope…Barr’s screed was met with nothing but silence by repubs and the media who reported this incident on the back pages…what the hell is it going to take to get rid of Barr? Lying to congress didn’t do it, running all over the world trying to get someone to support stupid conspiracy theories didn’t do it…and now being overtly racist isn’t doing it…I just can’t anymore….
December 5th
Well….back to not sleeping again and I knew that would happen…still don’t like it but this is more normal than sleeping is to me and it leaves me less confused…still feel like I have a little bug but it may be that I only had half a chicken breast to eat yesterday and skipped dinner altogether…just didn’t feel like eating…but I did make some pouch carrots with brown sugar, olive oil, and onion flakes that came out really good so I’ll have to remember that for another time…I do have a couple of pork chops marinating in the fridge for today and I think I’ll make one of those for lunch today….still don’t feel like eating but with being able to ride the bike every day, I do need to make sure I keep fueled up to be able to support that…I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday with doing the grocery runs and then some organizing downstairs and I need to continue that today with working on prep for the kitchen painting that I want to do next week…and I need to defrost the upstairs fridge in the next week or so….and clean…it seems that this house needs a lot more cleaning than my apartment did…I think that may be the focus of the day today and tomorrow…need to start putting tools away since the major work is done and they don’t need to be on the counters anymore….I can’t wait until I get my new soundbar for the tv tomorrow…it’s my last purchase until January since I need to build up my cash reserves…won’t be comfortable until I have enough in reserve to put a new furnace in here if the old one dies….and that will take into the spring….more later….
The whiny baby runs away…
Well…with another performance by the idiot trump on the world stage where he embarrassed our country with his non-stop whining and attacks on the US and its representatives, is there any question why the rest of the world leaders laughed at him at a reception? This time it was even caught on video where their disdain for trump and his antics was on full display…and, according to multiple news reports, this is not the first time this has happened…at every summit, presidents and PM’s are doing everything they can to not talk to trump or, in the case of the almost as ridiculous Boris Johnson, to not have his picture taken with idiot boy since he knows it will cost him in the election that is scheduled for a couple of weeks from now. Do you know what the whiny baby’s reaction to the world laughing at him was? He called Macron names and then skipped his last conference, ran to his plane and ran away…the big, tough trump ran away because the other kids were mean to him….what a petulant little baby trump is…and this is the baby that the repubs think is the greatest leader in their party…well, looking at the rest of them, maybe he is…geez….
December 4th
Well…running a little late today with not having the motivation to get going any sooner….just don’t need to rush even with doing the grocery run this morning do I think I’ll just ease into things…haven’t been feeling too hot the past few days and I’m not sure what that is about…I did get out on the bike yesterday and it was much more work than I like with having to be really careful of the ice that was still on the trail…and it was only 33 when I went out and that is at the bottom edge of what is comfortable for me…took most of the afternoon to warm up after getting back here…but, it is already warmer than that right now so I can get out as soon as I get back from errands…slept okay last night but was up at 4:30 again…I was able to get back to sleep for a half hour or so and that helps….but, I’m still pretty worn out and that may be from not eating enough…I am a little happy that I finished the turkey from t-day yesterday and can move on to other food…yeah…the normal stuff…more chicken and tacos…I do like turkey but every day for a week is just a bit much…not much to do today…just the errands and then work around here…and I think there is a SpaceX launch this afternoon that is always cool to watch…more later…
That Peloton commercial…
Well…you know, people must really have time on their hands when you look at the volume of comments and memes that have followed the airing of the Peloton holiday commercial where a husband gives his wife a Peloton for Christmas. Lots of commenters have gone straight to the “yeah, she spent the entire year to lose 4 pounds” meme and that it is some kind of spousal abuse when a husband gets his fit, 116 pound wife an exercise machine and she appears to be afraid when she starts to use it…and then shows the year’s worth of selfies to her husband to prove that she was really using it? But, I don’t buy into that interpretation at all…no one is going to spend 2500 bucks on any piece of exercise equipment as a present unless the sig other has made it clear that one is wanted…and I’ve lived through the fear of starting to change your life and add exercise when I started my daily rides some 20 years ago….so, a little apprehension is not unusual…especially when your performance is out there on Peloton’s site for all to see. The thing that irks me about all of the Peloton commercials is that every damn person in them lives in at least a million dollar house, apartment, or condo…which makes sense for a 2,500 dollar bike but still irks me. Where are the wood paneled basements where most of these machines end up? And every damn person in these commercials appears to be fit already so what were they doing to be fit before and what makes them want to abandon that for riding indoors and not going anywhere? As I said before, with the volume of comments and bitching about this commercial, lots of people have time on their hands, I know I do or I wouldn’t be writing about this…at least it gave me a topic that is not the idiot trump and that is welcome…
December 3rd
Well…the streak ends at 4 with waking up at 4:34 this morning and not being able to get back to sleep…but, it was a good run to get 4 in a row and maybe a new streak will start tonight….I seem to have slept okay but am having a hard time getting started in the morning lately and I think I know what the reason is but I’m not sure I want to change it…I am getting tired of eating turkey and that will end today with the last two meals so I need to plan something and get it out of the freezer…or just wait til tomorrow and get some fresh chicken from the grocery run…I do have a couple of pork chops in the freezer that I could take out so I’ll think about that later….I did get some prep work done in the kitchen yesterday and will continue to do more in there today…Have been getting some stuff done around here the past 4 days in a row….hmmmm…I wonder it that has something to do with my sleeping? It may but we’ll see…the work I’m doing is just light stuff for now but I did get to straightening up the basement, too and that needs to continue….it is nice to have music to work by again with getting the receiver working again…oh, and in the quiet garage I can hear something start to buzz when I reconnect the battery in the car so I may be able to find the voltage drain by just listening…a project that I will fool with over the next couple of weeks….more later….
Karma bites trump and rudy on the ass….
Well…just a short one on a funny bit of karma doing it’s thing against rudy and the big orange idiot…as you know, or at least I hope you know, that idiot boy trump is being impeached for extorting Ukraine into ginning up some “evidence” of wrongdoing by the Bidens there…and ole rudy has been all over trying to get officials there to help with the conspiracy under the guise of “fighting corruption”…okay, here’s where it gets funny, to me at least, just the past few days every damn one of the people in the government that rudy has been conspiring with have been fired by the new president of the country…and guess what for? Corruption! Now, when they say that Karma is a bitch I guess it’s one bitch that trump can’t move on…okay, that one even made me laugh a little….
Whiny baby says what?
Well….god, I wonder if the idiot trump ever gets tired of being a big, whiny baby? With the impeachment hearings moving over to the Judiciary Committee this week and the perfectly reasonable invitation of chair Jerry Nadler for trump and his lawyers to come and participate to defend trump, all we got from the whiny baby and his lawyers was a letter Sunday saying that they wouldn’t come…I guess they realize that Devin Nunes or Jim Jordan aren’t going to be in charge and trump would really have to answer to the facts that he committed multiple crimes and not just get fluffed by his moronic minions. But, what this invitation does is put to rest the talking point that the “process” is unfair to trump and he doesn’t get to defend himself…hey, idiots…you had your chance to come and refute the evidence and you chose talking points instead…and that just isn’t going to cut it when more and more of the facts come out….and I think it’s funny that not one repub has come out to refute the facts that trump is a criminal committing daily crimes by obstructing the investigation…because they can’t…facts are facts and trump’s cronies can only whine about the fact that they don’t think crimes are crimes, and anyway, a repub president can do whatever he wants and it is just peachy keen with them….so, keep piling up the felonies just as long as the sweet, sweet Russian cash keeps rolling in to their campaigns….they are going to have to pay at some point….
