Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The Iranian TACO

Well temps are in the 40s (F) and we're going to end up somewhere in the mid 50s (F).  We're going to have mostly sunny skies, too, which is what I call a decent spring day.  Tomorrow we'll get warmer, but we'll also have a much greater chance of rain showers.  That's okay.  This is Spring.  We are in a transition period between the bitter cold of winter and the stanky hotness of summer.  This is a season we should enjoy.

Yesterday was productive.  Lots of little chores, the ones I am constantly putting off were scratched off the list of "things to do."  I'm pleased with that.  I got a decent ride in on the Isle of Corsica.  My trainer's happy.  If I get the strength workout done today, it will have been 5 consecutive days of working out. Last time the routines were broken up:  3 days on and 1 day off, 2 days on and 1 day off.  Honestly, 5 days in a row is easily doable. 

A retail workout is on the schedule for today.  I'm getting an increase in pay, though I don't know how much.  Last year they called me back two days before payday and gave me a little slip of paper indicating how much of a raise I was getting.  Rumor has it that these raises will not be processed until April, if that's the case, then every employee is working 13 months at the same rate of pay.  This wouldn't surprise me.  That would help cut back on the payroll expense for this fiscal year and expenses are a very high priority for corporate America.

Someone had a busy day yesterday.


I'm hearing that the Orange Anus would like to TACO us out the war with Iran that he started.  Some one should tell that idiot that wars don't end that simply.  Still, at the same time we are being told that American troops will soon be on Iranian soil, that's if they can make it through the troop carrying ships can make it through the Strait of Hormuz.  This is what happens when you put a dementiated old man in the White House.  

And in and desperate attempt to keep gas prices from going through the roof, oil sanctions have been dropped against some of Iran's oil.  Yep, nothing spells out stupidity like trying to buy the oil and gas from the country you're at war with.  Unfortunately, Iran seems to have the upper hand here.  It's not just stupidity, it glaring incompetence.  And people are growing more and more furious at Orangies fratboy drunk trying to run the Department of Defense from a pulpit.  Telling people they should be down on bended knees praying to God to help our troops?  Someone needs to tell Bourbon Breath that prayer has never, ever worked.

And did you hear about he FEMA director who rolled his car into a ditch and found himself teleported to a waffle house a few hours later.  This is also called driving blind drunk.

Donald Trump's Heresy

 Our temps are on the rise.  Currently we're sitting at a cool 34 (F), but by this afternoon we should be up in the low 60s (F).  There is drizzle in the forecast, but that's okay, we can always use a little rain.  One thing to take note of is that because our planet spins, what happens on the west coast tends to move east.  This means that all of that heat the westies are suffering through now will slowly move east.  

I had a nice workout yesterday.  I'm up to 70 pounds on my leg extensions, that's per leg, and I'm pleased to say I have no soreness today.  I've also increased the weight on the lat pulldowns to 40 pounds.  This is good stuff, since at this point in my life I'm focusing on muscle maintenance and growth.  And yes, for those of you who are wondering, you can still build muscle as you enter your senior years.

Retail was very slow yesterday.  However, to my surprise, I did make sales for the week.  One of my installs sold for the second time.  Yeah, the second time.  When it originally sold everything seemed fine, but then there was a problem.  The install was canceled and my credit for the sale was debited off.  Well, the problem, whatever it was, is now fixed, so the install is on again.  Wednesday they again credited me with an $11,000 sale.  

And the flooring specialist they hired is gone.  He got another job.  Even though he did give a two week notice, but then he ended up calling off every day this past week.  That would have been fine if he had personal time on the books, but he didn't.  This means when the process his termination, there will be a note added making him a non-rehire.  He will never be able to work for the orange retailer ever again.

The Washington Post revealed the $250 gold coin the US Treasury is going to be minting for the Orange Anus.  I had a WTF moment the instant I saw it.  In fact, that moment is still continuing.  This is the coin Orangie wants put into circulation.


You'll notice that the Orange Anus is directly above the words In God We Trust.  Yepper, Orangie wants to be seen as God.  I do believe this is heresy.  This man has done more to damage Christianity in the past year, than anyone else in the history.  Everything Trump touches dies.

Yesterday, for those of you who missed another one of his atrocities, with the Japanese Prime Minister sitting next to him in his gaudy as hell oval office, he joked about the Japanese bombing Pearl Harbor.  This man is an idiot.  Sadly, there are wack job cultists out there who laughed at his terrible joke.  The Prime Minister was not amused.  Shortly afterward, she glanced at her watch, an obvious signal to wrap things up.  I honestly don't know why foreign dignitaries sit through these events.  They are only meant to give Orangie fifteen to twenties of grandstand time on camera.
