Well…sitting here watching Man U lose again so I thought I’d just do one of these for a minute to talk about nothing really…there was one weird thing that happened to me when I was going to bed last night that is still confusing me some…if you’ve ever heard of tinnitus, it is constant whistling or screeching in your ears that is normally the result of exposure to high noise levels…and I have had it for years and years…but, last night when I went to bed and put my earlpugs in, it stopped…and it kind of confused me…I knew something was different but it took me a minute to figure it out…the unfortunate thing was that it was back whistling when I got up this morning and that was a little disappointing…..I wonder what I did that made it stop…that could be a project or a science experiment for the next few weeks and could help with being bored….
December 16th
Well…it’s Sunday and I’ve already read the paper and had my first cup of coffee and it’s only 7…that is going to make for a boring morning but I do get to get out on the bike here as soon as the sun comes up so that is something to look forward to…it really hasn’t been a bad December for the bike and I have my fingers crossed that the weather will continue to cooperate…and it looks like it will for the next week or so…no snow at least and that lifts my mood some…I did sleep okay last night and didn’t get up til 5:47 so that makes it almost 7 hours and I’ll take that any day…but, I felt like crap for the first half hour or so and I’m not sure why that would be since it was a light night last night…I do have a headache and I think I’ve had it for a week now so I think I may have to take something before I get on the bike…and that may help with hand cramps I’ve been getting lately…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but a little light cleaning and I think I’ll do a little more of that today…but, I need to see Man U at 11 first and that means I need to get out on the bike as soon as the sun comes up…not going to rush that, though….I do have time after all and have to remember that I don’t have to rush anymore….that’s a hard habit to break….more later…
Doesn’t trump know anything?
Well…I am just shaking my head about the debacle of the idiot trump trying to find a new chief of staff and having everyone he wanted turn him down since they don’t want to be the chief of dumpster fire and go to jail themselves. After a couple of weeks, idiot boy settled on Mick Mulvaney to be his “temporary” chief of staff along with being the head of OMB….a job that he had to be confirmed for by the senate. That right there is why this pick is so damn dumb and to be expected from trump and his cadre of third stringers…they don’t know anything of how the government works and that is why they made this stupid pick…anytime that the House or senate wants now, they can call the COS to testify on any topic in front of any number of committees since he was confirmed by the senate…and he must tell the truth under penalty of perjury… so now anything that Mulvaney hears from trump or his cronies is going to be available to the dems….I wonder if trump knew that he was hiring a mole? Of course he didn’t…he doesn’t know anything so why would he know this? I thought I’d seen the dumbest acts from the dumbest person in the country before…but this is the gold standard of dumb….impeach…
December 15th
Well….damn…I think I have a cold…my head is plugged up and I feel like crap…we’ll see as the day goes on…slept okay last night and stayed in bed until almost 6 so that was cool…still tossed and turned a lot but slept on my right shoulder and it hurts like crazy this morning…okay…going to stop bitching right now…had an okay day yesterday with a good, long bike ride and it is cool that all the ice is gone and I got some sprints in finally…and I can’t wait to get out today with the ice fog outside…hope it’s not making the trails icy…didn’t get anything done yesterday other than a little cleaning and today will be the same….might have to figure out what to cook since I am getting bored with eggs and kielbasa although I made an omelet yesterday that was pretty good…and I may do another one of those today….but, not right now…I need coffee and and to watch the formula e race that’s on now…more later…
Just the best investigations…
Well…just saw a little article that made me laugh out loud…as you know, there are investigations of trump and his cronies everywhere but it never dawned on me that everything trump is under investigation…yep, with the announcement yesterday that the trump inaugural is now under investigation, every damn thing that trump has touched in his life is now under investigation for criminal acts….let’s compare that to Nixon even…nope not everything Nixon touched was under investigation…not for money laundering, not for working with a foreign power to steal his election, not for looting his inauguration fund, not for having a fake charity that was used like a personal piggy bank….you get my drift…until now, Watergate was the worst political scandal in the history of the country but trump beat that out even before he was elected…or kinda elected…you know, for a while there, I thought trump was going to get away with it with the repubs conspiring with him to protect him from his criminality…but not now…he is already implicated in two felonies and will pay for them when he is out of office…and the new AG of New York is going to investigate everything trump as soon as she takes office in January….and, if there are no crimes there, I’ll shut this site down and go live in the woods like a hermit…and, there are no pardons that can save idiot boy from state crimes….is it too early to grin? Don’t think so…impeach…
December 14th
Well…running a bit late this morning and just can’t get moving…had luck going back to sleep after getting up for the first time at 5:04 so that puts me late but that’s okay…what the hell do I have to do? Had an okay day yesterday and a long bike ride and it looks like I’ll be able to do that again after the rain stops this morning…the trails were clear of ice yesterday…almost…so this should take care of the rest of it…it was nice to finally not have to think for every foot and get back to the mindless, thinking rides that I like…I did go over 3300 miles a couple of days back and now the goal is to finish the year strong and get to 3400 for the year…and that’s just on the new bike…I guess it’s not new if it has 3300 miles on it…I do need to work on the shifter since it’s still hanging up on the 6-7 shift but I think it’s just dirt so I’ll soak it in lube before I go out…didn’t get anything done yesterday but the grocery run…just can’t get motivated lately and I hope I can work through that today and get some general cleaning done…or not…who knows? More later….
Yow….what an afternoon for the idiot trump…
Well…just got caught up with the news from the afternoon after I finished watching soccer and all I can say is Yow! If yesterday with Cohen’s sentencing and the fact that trump directed two felonies was hard for the idiot boy…today was a gut punch with the revelation that the feds have a criminal investigation going of the trump inaugural and how the 107 million dollars they raised was spent and what part of that money was to buy access and get favors from trump and his cronies. This investigation has even drawn in trump’s wife since her best friend was paid 26 million dollars to “plan” some of the balls and events that were held…I wonder where that money went? Kickbacks to line trump’s pockets? Oh, and one tiny little detail came up in the mistress payoff, too…NBC news has just reported that they have proof trump was in the room when the payoffs were discussed…man, I can’t wait for the tweet storm from this one…how many more instances of criminality do we have to put up with before trump is impeached and locked up? Oh, one last thing that came up from one of the people who worked on the idiot boy’s tv show….trump was constantly snorting Adderal while doing the show…I wonder if that is why the idiot is so weird all the time? Geez…impeach this asshole already….
Grift doesn’t scale…
Well…I think one of the biggest mistakes that the idiot trump made in trying to use his petty grifting tactics that worked in NY on a worldwide basis is the fact that grift doesn’t scale…what I mean by that is the sleazy two-bit scams that worked so well in NY where everyone knew trump was just that…a two-bit grifter don’t translate to a national or a world stage since the environment is different…it was just an acceptable part of the NY real estate market that scams abounded and that regulators could be bought off for what is peanuts to the scammers…as evidenced by Jared and Ivanka getting bought out of a few felony counts of lying to investors by a 25K donation to the New York county district attorney who, against the advice of the team investigating the scam, dropped the charges against them. Since he got away with everything his entire life, it follows that trump would think the same thing would happen after he was installed as president by Putin…but, then reality intervened in the guise of people who still think that the law needs to be followed and there needs to be a respect for the rule of law…and now, trump and his kids and anyone else in his crooked sphere are in the spotlight and are in real trouble….there was a quote from someone that I read yesterday that sums it up…”no one comes away from trump’s orbit unscathed”…and that would be a great epitaph for his tombstone…impeach…
Meltdown in real time….
Well…with the revelations from the Cohen sentencing whacking the idiot boy upside the head and the fact that the parent of the Enquirer has been granted immunity to tell everything they know about trump and his criminality (prosecutors now have the contents of the “trump safe” that held all the worst stuff that he Enquirer found out about trump over time), we are seen a meltdown of trump in real time today and I am not going to lie, I am loving this crap. Just today, idiot boy returned to his wall and in the span of 15 minutes said that he would shut down the government if he didn’t get funding for his wall, then Mexico was going pay for the wall in the new version of NAFTA, and then that most of the wall has already been built and has stopped 7,000 terrorists at the Mexican border. Whew…is anyone else exhausted with just hearing of idiot boy’s delusions? Look, let’s put all of this playing to his base in context…it’s all he has left…he is going to trial after his term is up in 2020…that is a fact that appears to be finally sinking in and this mornings tweets trying to minimize the severity of lawbreaking in campaign finance violations show his panic is starting to be all consuming…and the reports from inside the WH that he is a ranting hot mess further show that he is melting down in real time…man, I’d like to throw a little gas on that fire and help him along the road to ruin….although he doesn’t need any help there…impeach…
December 13th
Well…running really early for a Thursday but I was up early so I thought I’d get this done before the grocery run instead of after…I’ve been good for a few days now and it feels okay to wake up with a little energy…but, just a little bit, I won’t have coffee until after I get back so that jolt will have to wait…my BP machine croaked yesterday so I’m not sure what it is this morning…and it was so cheap that it costs less to just buy another one than to send it back for warranty replacement….so, I’ll probably do that today since I got used to checking my BP every day…it was never really too high so maybe I can wait a bit….I really do need to remember to take some ibuprofen before I get on the bike again today…did that yesterday and was not sore at all after the ride and that was welcome after how I’ve been creaking around here lately…didn’t get much done yesterday other than screwing around with some equipment but I am going to clean today and recycle some newspapers and will feel good if I do get that done…more later…
