Well…not getting up until 6 seems like such a luxury these days so I’ll take every one I can get…and I even slept okay last night without putting the air on so that’s a bonus…but, I need to get going to get on the bike soon before the storms come in…okay, that’s a laugh…every time I say there is a storm coming it falls apart before it gets here but I hope that’s not the case today…I’m thinking about falling off the no red meat wagon today with DD having burger on sale for 1.49 a pound…I’ve only had two burgers since last September so I think I’m going to splurge and get some today…I hope I can get a small enough package so I don’t have to put anything in the freezer since there is very little room in there…have to start thinking about using some of the chicken in there, too, and get some meals planned…I do need to make some Alfredo or other pasta just to change it up…I did get a lot done yesterday morning with finally getting my oven cleaned and washing and waxing the car along with doing some rust repair but I’m not sure what I’ll do today yet…just need to get some coffee down so I can get on the bike in the next 15 mins…more later…
On a lighter note…
Well…have had some things rattling around in my head that I wanted to get down before I forget them…might be a better idea to forget them but hey, after over 7,000 of these, I need topics from anywhere so here goes…I was watching “Jessica Jones” the other night and saw something that made me laugh a little bit…when she was getting ready for a stakeout, she filled a stainless steel water bottle with whiskey to take with her…and it was the exact same old school sub-zero one that I have to carry water on the bike…no fancy top or anything like that but one that you have to unscrew and remove to drink…see, I told you this really doesn’t mean anything…it kind of like seeing a Miata in a movie or tv show…only means something to me…oh, one other thing…that may qualify for trail weirdness…okay, I think I’ll wait on that one and actually do a trail weirdness one later today or tomorrow since I have a few things that I have been storing up…and that one will have turkeys!
trump is so full of crap…
Well…with the fiasco of the Asia trip that the idiot boy is now trying to spin into the most successful trip by any president ever, we can now see how full of crap trump is…I guess some of his aides have told him that meeting Kim at the NK border for a photo shoot that legitimized the murderer in the eyes of the world was not that good of an idea, so trump today is out there saying that Obama begged Kim for a meeting (project much?) but Kim wouldn’t meet with him so trump is the bestest diplomat for getting the meeting. How much more laughable can trump be? There is no damn way the Obama would reward a dictator for murder and threatening the US by giving him a meeting that Kim could spin into saying that the US “respects” him and that would make him an equal in the eyes of the world. Trump is again played by a cheap little dictator just like he gets played by every damn one of these thugs…and what did he get for it? Today, NK put out a statement that they gave no concessions on their nuclear program to the idiot trump and will continue to do what they want no matter what the US does…and trump just puts his tail between his legs and slinks off to plan the trump spectacular 4th of July ceremony…I guess now he gets tanks so nothing else matters…even that he and his family are more and more being seen as the fools they are…and they drag the US down with them…impeach…
July 1st
Well…that was a little better…didn’t get up until 6 or so and there were no dead crickets on the floor…have been trying to find out where the hell they have been coming from and I think I finally finally have poison in the right places to keep them out…slept okay last night and started to feel better later in the day yesterday after feeling like crap Saturday with no energy at all and I think that was from not eating enough to support 30 miles a day on the bike…and my guts felt like they were filled with acid…so I need to continue eating more but that screws up my schedule that usually includes two meals a day…I could use a toasted bagel with cream cheese with my coffee in the morning so maybe I’ll try that…I still have some smoked salmon in the freezer, too, so that would be good…didn’t get much done yesterday but I do need to clean my oven today and I want to wash and wax the car so that will fill up my morning after I work out and get on the bike…more later…
Ivanka is as dumb as her dad…
Well…feeling a little better today with eating more or the bug is leaving…not sure which but I know I had to come here and do one on the moron first daughter and her behavior at the G-20 summit. First of all, why the hell is she even there? Does she have an degree in economics or diplomacy? Or any relevant experience? Or any role in the government that would need her to be there? The video that has gone viral sees her trying to insert herself into a conversation with heads of state and the head of the IMF and the obvious contempt that these people have for her…with most of them rolling their eyes as she tried to interrupt Macron and Merkel and put in her two cents….exactly the response that they have for her daddy when he does the same thing with his ignorant nonsense. Just like daddy, she thinks that people should respect her for her delusional sense of self importance and she truly believes she belongs on the world stage because she used to design shoes and cheat people when she was selling condos in NYC. God, I can’t wait for these idiots to be gone….impeach…
June 30th
Well…that was a little better with not waking up until almost 5:30 and slept okay….and I don’t feel too bad this morning after feeling like crap all day yesterday after I got the second ride in and I’m not sure why I felt that way…might be not eating enough or it could be that I’m not acclimated to the heat yet but damn, it was really bad…okay, still feel crappy this morning and I’m wondering if I should get out on the bike or take it easy…my guts have been screaming at me the past couple of days and I’m trying to figure out what the heck I ate that would cause that…yeah, it’s as bad as it sounds but I am going to get out on the bike after I do this and have a little coffee….with feeling so lousy yesterday, I didn’t get much done but a load of laundry and I think I’ll be taking it easy today after I get back and I’m not sure if I’ll only do one run or two….starting to feel like I did yesterday so I am going to watch a little Moto GP and take it easy….more later…
trump argrees with Putin…who knew?
Well…the ugliest of ugly Americans is stumbling his way around the G-20 conference this weekend wreaking havoc on everything he touches…and, the idiot trump is trying so hard to please his handler Putin that he threw the whole of Western society under the bus…agreeing with Putin that the “liberal idea” has “outlived it’s purpose” and has “become obsolete”….phrases straight out of the communist playbook of the cold war…and who knows if it is by trump’s ignorance, stupidity, or loyalty to Putin that he agreed, but his subsequent comments that he has seen what is going on in Los Angeles and SF that are run by liberal administrations shows that he has no frickin idea what “the liberal idea” means or that the US and the rest of the west are liberal democracies. He hears something that he thinks will play to his radical conservative fascist base, that anything “liberal” is a bad thing, especially when it comes from his buddy Putin and trump is too dumb to understand that Putin is using his ignorance to attack the US on a world stage to further destroy our standing…some thing that trump does on a daily basis…making the US a laughingstock…and trump grins his way through the insults with a stupid grin on his face like a toddler that just made his first crap in the potty. I wonder how many years the next dem president is going to have to work to fix the trail of destruction that the idiot trump has left across the world? More than one term I’ll bet….impeach…
June 29th
Well…up a little early today but nowhere near as early as yesterday…5:30 is much better than 3:43 but I would still like to get a full night of sleep at some point…I think only going out once yesterday has helped with the pain since I’m not too sore today and I’ll be getting out soon to see how much energy my legs have after the rest…it is already almost 70 out there so the second ride is going to be hot today…not sure when I’m going to wedge the second one in with Moto GP, F1, and soccer on today…one good thing is I don’t have to cook today with running the instant pot yesterday but I do need to marinade some more chicken and make another batch of pickled red onions but that is pretty easy and won’t take much time…I am going to get to my kitchen counters today and maybe even clean the oven once I get started…and the microwave needs attention, too, so I have plenty to keep me busy….don’t want to be too ambitious, though….then I’ll be bored tomorrow…more later….
A surprise fun day….
Well…as you can see, haven’t done one on politics today so far and probably won’t…had a surprise fun day when Tom called to go out and shoot pool and, of course, I’m always in for that…I had just gotten the instant pot loaded to make some chicken leg quarters so I decided to just let it do it’s thing while I was gone…the first time I’ve ever let any cooking go on without me being here…but, it worked out perfectly and I had a nice, hot chicken lunch waiting for me when I got back here and that was cool…had lunch done and cleaned up from it by 1:30 and now I need to watch the US women’s team play in the World Cup here in a few minutes…and probably take a nap at some point since I’ve been up since 4 or so…I may get to a political one later but I doubt it….only got one ride in today and I’m trying to not let the guilts get to me….
June 28th
Well…that really, really sucked…up at 3:43 and then couldn’t get back to sleep until 5:30 and then up at 6:15…ick…so I feel pretty crappy right now but I need to get out on the bike soon since there are storms coming in from the NW that appear will be here in about 2 hours but who knows? There was a huge storm coming in off the lake last night but it fell apart before it got from the lake to here…and that is the second time this week that has happened…I did get two rides in yesterday but almost lost the rear wheel when it came loose and jammed the chain but I got that fixed and I think it will be good today…I wish they would finish up the brush removal on the start of the trail since it is a pain to have to detour every day….not much to do today…I do need to clean some and maybe cook some chicken but that is about it…and watch the women’s WC when the US plays this afternoon…I need more coffee and to suck it up and get on the bike here in a few minutes….even going to skip the news for now…more later…
