Well…kind of on time today but it feels like I’m late for some reason….woke up to no back pain but I can feel it coming….it did crack a little after I got up so maybe it will be okay today…slept okay last night and feel okay this morning if a little slow…didn’t get a lot done yesterday…started on the kitchen but I don’t know if I’ll get much done today…it is pool day so that will take up the afternoon…and it will be good to get out of here for a while…haven’t been out much over the past month or so….and it looks like it will be warm enough to put the top down out and back….and no rain….I think I didn’t get the top sealed right since it fogged up going out for the paper yesterday….need to dry it out….more later….
Well….we all knew that there was at least one moron in the WH…but, as of today, we know there are at least two. Just a few minutes ago, the second moron, Mike Pence tweeted that he had just left the Colts game, using the tired lie that he wouldn’t attend any event that “disrespects our soldiers, our flag, or our national anthem”. What a f****** moron…hey, moron…that’s not what the protests are about and you know it…they are to protest police brutality and murder aimed at black people that goes on every damn day in this country….but that’s like every other repub…pick and choose what parts of the constitution should be followed….this is the protesters first amendment right to protest…you know like your beloved 2nd amendment that you think gives people (or I should say white people) the right to carry their death machines or penis enlargers everywhere in this country. So, just don’t go and use your free bribe…or I mean ticket…stay home…no one wants to see you there anyway..and we all know this was a pre-planned publicity stunt…how much did you spend of our money for this little bit of propaganda? …impeach…
Well….running late today and I just don’t feel like doing much right now….my back has been killing me the past few days but it seems okay this morning…there is still a little twinge that I hope doesn’t turn into full bore pain…I have figured out how to fix it, I think, so it may not be too bad….slept okay last night but I still feel tired this morning and the coffee is not working…and I need to get out on the bike here in a few minutes since it is already warm enough but I’m not motivated to go yet…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to clean my bathroom today and maybe work on the kitchen, too…not much else to do….more later….
Well….just don’t want to talk about the idiot boy today but wanted to stay on sched so I think I’ll just do one on some trail stuff today….have been getting used to the old bike and I may just put the new one off for another month….it is much more comfortable when I let the air pressure drop a little so I think I’ll leave it there…have also gotten the seat adjusted right..finally… so it is pretty comfortable…I did do a little trail maintenance today…some idiots had taken the sluice gates out of a pond that I ride past every day and it had almost gone dry, so I climbed over a fence and down a small ravine to put them back in place…this is a pond that normally has a crane or a heron standing in it and lots of other birds, so I hope it will fill back up some with the storms that are coming later tonight….not sure why anyone would do that since it was a lot of work to get over the fence and put the boards back….I also ran across another hickory tree that was shedding nuts all over the trail so I stopped and filled up my bag with almost a hundred of them…I have figured out how to use my vice grips to get them to split so I can get the meats out almost intact…and I like the flavor…and they are free…going to pick up some walnuts tomorrow and try some of them….okay…going to watch some football….no more later..or maybe more later…not sure…
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but my back gave me fits all day….it just won’t crack like it normally does and the pain was pretty bad most of the day….feels okay right now so I have hope that it will be better today…slept okay last night and had a few dreams so that was cool…but I didn’t get anything else done so today will have to be different….it looks like the rain will be here all day so I am going to take the day off the bike and let my legs rest…I think my hands need more rest, though, the old bike makes them hurt like crazy and I’m not sure why….I did get a care package of venison yesterday…3 lbs of burger and a couple of pounds of steaks that will get me through a couple of weeks….have to get stuff for tacos next week and I am out of butter….not much to do today…going to clean a little and watch some races and football but that is about it….more later….
Well…yeah, I know, you’re probably tired of hearing from me today but it’s been the only thing I’ve been motivated to do….so, just one more….with the idiot trump and his cronies in congress continually trying to take away healthcare from 30 million people and now trying to gut Medicare and take it away from everyone 65 and older, I thought it would be time to come back to the amount of money the idiot boy has spent on vacations in the past 9 months….that has now been calculated to be over 72 million dollars…yep, the country can’t afford healthcare for one third of it’s citizens but it can afford to spend 72 million to send trump to golf…and, if you add in all of the travel for all of his cronies that just have to have private jets, it is actually more like 80 million…I wonder how many people could have healthcare for 80 million? Let’s do the math…let’s assume that insurance costs 20K per person….a figure that is probably a little high….even at that high number, 4,000 people could have health insurance for a year…or we can continue to line the idiot’s pockets as he treats the US as his own slush fund…impeach…
Well…with over 95% of Puerto Rico still without power after hurricane Maria, and the idiot trump not giving a damn about when or if the power will be restored…I guess trump thinks it was enough to throw paper towels at the people there…here comes Elon Musk proposing he can scale up his solar panel/battery storage systems to power the entire island….as he has done for some other smaller islands across the world. With PR having the oldest, most expensive electrical generating equipment of any US state or territory, why should we just rebuild the old stuff and keep PR paying 3 times as much for electricity? To reward trump’s buddies who are already circling the island like a bunch of vultures? The long term cost would be much lower to modernize the grid there, and it could be decentralized so that even with another hit by a hurricane, the entire island would never be without power again. the only problem here is with the idiot trump, who would never approve anything like that…after all, he can’t profit from it…impeach…
Well….not sure if you have been following this latest outrage by the orange idiot in chief, so I thought I’d just do a short one on it….last week it was revealed that trump’s SoS Rex Tillerson called him a f****** moron to some of the other senior staff after trump’s meltdown speech to the Boy Scouts…and after the media reported it this week, Tillerson issued a non-denial saying he “just wasn’t going to deal with that stuff”…and this set off the thin skinned moron in the WH who then attacked the media as being “fake news” and called for a congressional investigation of the media who print the truth about him. Now, this idiot never thinks too far ahead but I think he better be careful what he wishes for….never mind that his suggestion to congress is unconstitutional, his favorite network, fox news, has been shown to lie almost 60% of the time…filling the air with more blatant, purposeful, falsehoods than all other media combined. So donny, why don’t you just shut the hell up and go away….while you still can….the clock is ticking….tick, tick, tick…..impeach…
Well…sitting here waiting for the idiot trump to do his next bit of idiocy and thought I’d just do one on sports while I wait…okay, it’s mostly the Wings but I may touch on other sports, too….the Wings looked pretty good last night in their 4-2 win over the Wild and they even scored a power play goal…so that was cool…and my guy Hank got one, too…that is just icing to me….now, I’m not going to get carried away by one win, but they could have gone the other way and that would have dampened a lot of my enthusiasm for this year…it is cool to see the youngsters hold their own and get some goals, too….now, I guess I’ll talk a little about Man U and their start to the year….only one tie for the first 8 games and that puts them tied for first in the league this year….after last year’s 5th place finish, I have hope they will do better…at least in the top three to get into the Champions League without having to go through the Europa league to get there…not much to say about the Tigers other than I am a little curious who the new manager is going to be…I think it’s best to just forget about their season….oh, almost forgot to talk about the Lions…3-1 so far and they should be 4-0…but, they didn’t look good in their last game at all…so all of the hype about the playoffs I’ll take with a grain of salt being the long time Lions fan that I am…that’s enough….
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got sunburned running errands in the car…and that is pretty cool for October….slept okay last night and I think I felt my back crack when I was putting a pickle jar back in the fridge and it doesn’t hurt anymore so that is cool….it was really bad yesterday and I was hoping that it wouldn’t be months until I could figure it out….might have to wait to get on the bike today with the rain showers that are coming but I don’t want to take two days off in a row….it is supposed to rain like crazy tonight and tomorrow and we sure need it….and I could use a day off the bike….not much to do today….going to clean some and that’s about it….more later…
