Well…it’s been a normal morning so far today but I need to get the coffee working…feel a little slow and it might take a while to get going…slept okay last night but the damn cough has come back today and I’m not sure what the heck is going on….this week will be a month and that is way too long for a cold…so it must be allergies and that could go on all winter….and winter is going to start in the next couple of days with the temps in the high 20’s starting wed….but, today I will be able to get out in shorts for the last time since it is already 45 outside…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but repair the bag on the bike and watch sports…and I won’t get a lot done today with pool this aft…..but, that’s okay…really don’t have that much to do….more later….
Another 3,000 mile year….
Well…when stopped for the light at Kalamazoo this morning, I looked down at my bike computer and noticed I had hit 3,000 miles for the year today…along with doing a 100 mile ride, this was my only other goal for the bike this year….and I’ve put 650 miles on the old bike since I got back on it with only 350 more to do to get to buying a new one….it will be nice to get back to the trigger shifters again and the disc brakes….I like riding the old one but the new ones are just so convenient to ride I can’t wait until I can afford one….more later….
December 3rd
Well….running a little late again today and I think I’m in a lower gear this morning….really don’t have to get going until around 10 when it will be warm enough to get out on the bike….just can’t go out when it is 25 degrees yet…but, it did hit me yesterday that I am starting to get used to the cold and I hope my feet get the message…even with double socks on yesterday they were cold….slept okay last night and don’t feel that bad today…the cold is finally in it’s end stage…I hope….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but making soup that came out good and watching some sports…might clean a little today after the bike ride but maybe not….the Lions play at 1 so I’ll have to have things done by then….not much to do today….just a little cleaning and a lot of vegging and that’s okay with me….more later….
How does this happen?
Well….I see a lot of things out on the bike that I forget to come back here and talk about…but today, it was not possible to forget this….you remember the other day that I talked a little about the underground work being done at 60th and Hanna Lake where they have one of the lanes on 60th closed off…and, until this morning, they had one of those flashing arrow signs to tell people to merge into the open lane…but, they don’t anymore…sometime last night, someone ran over the sign (not an easy thing to do) and left it in a mangled heap in the blocked off lane. I wonder, how does this happen? I mean a huge, flashing sign…how the heck do you not see that? Just one more reason I’m happy to not be on the road too much anymore….geez…
December 2nd
Well…up at my normal time today and I don’t feel too bad…my back has been cracking like crazy since I got up and that is a good sign…had a little pain yesterday and it feels good to have that done this early…slept okay last night but still feel a little worn out…not sure if I’m eating enough right now…and if I’m thinking about it, I probably aren’t….I am still coughing this morning and that is getting annoying….again….not sure what is going on but it is over 3 weeks now….not much to do today….I am going to make turkey soup today since I have veggies that need to be used and that will give me something to do…but I want to ride first and that will have to wait until the sun comes up….but I do need to get that done before Man U plays at 12:30…more later….
Neil Young Live…
Well….just finished watching Neil Young in a live streamed concert and I am just blown away…it is the most intimate that I have ever seen Neil…the concert was done at one of his hometowns… a little place called Omemee, Ontario….I found out about it by accident…Neil re-tweeted a tweet by Darryl Hanna that the concert was happening tonight and I was just freaking out when I saw that….and I figured out how to take the HDMI output from the computer and run it into my tv…I know that most people know how to do that but it was a first time for me….pretty darn cool night….
This is damn funny…
Well…if you need any more proof of how hated the idiot trump and his cronies are, you just have to look at the turnout for the tree lighting ceremony held at the WH yesterday….during Obama’s administration, it was standing room only with people packed to the walls and the tickets were one of the hardest “gets” for the holiday season…for this idiot *president, there were maybe a hundred people there…and the photo of the few people and the thousand or more empty seats was just damn funny…I wonder when the idiot will tweet to say that there were more people there than for any other president? Impeach….
Meuller has Trump…
Well….there is good news that has come out this afternoon…that Michael Flynn is going to testify (or has testified) that it was the idiot trump who ordered the contacts with Russia…and it appears that ole Mike Pence was in the loop, too…let that soak in for a minute…okay, try not to grin too much since we need to save some face muscles for the indictments to come…and the way the plead deal was written states that if Flynn stops cooperating, the rest of the charges will be filed…so he has lots of incentive to spill on everyone…including donny junior, kushner, and Ivanka…they’re gonna need an entire wing in a federal prison before this is over…impeach….
Lock him up…
Well…just finished up putting the snowies on the car and came in to this bit of great news….Michael Flynn, the idiot who led the “lock her up” chant at the repub convention last year, has just been taken into custody by the FBI…and is going to plead guilty to lying to the FBI…now, with all of the things he is guilty of, for Mueller to allow him to plead way down to only one felony, Flynn has given up someone even higher up the food chain…can you say trump? This is the first bit of good news this week and the endgame is on…I am SO anticipating another shoe to drop today and for the idiot trump to start tweeting his final meltdown….let’s just do a little comparison here…Obama’s 8 years….zero indictments….the idiot trump’s first 10 months…4 indictments of top people in his administration….the most lawless, corrupt administration in this country’s history….here come the perp walks….
December 1st
Well…running late this morning and I really didn’t want to get up at all…and I lost my glasses overnight and can’t understand how they ended up under my bed…oh, well…didn’t sleep well and I am feeling it today…it looks like it will be a low key day today but I do need to put the snowies on the car today…I don’t really drive much anymore so I don’t have to worry about putting too many miles on them…and it is supposed to start snowing next Wednesday and then continue for 10 days or so…ick….and it is going to be cold, too…with highs only in the 30’s so I guess the winter clothes will have to come out….not much to do today….just work on the car and then clean a little but that is about it….more later….
