Lancing Elon

Surprise!  Yesterday's high did not climb into the low 80s (F) as the forecast had been predicting.  While the temp scooted around 79 (F) for most of the afternoon, there was a wind.  Now, I'm not talking about the occasional breeze.  Nope.  We had winds from the west that did a good job of keeping the gnats at bay;  I only got 2 bites.

And I did spend a bit of time outside cutting up branches yesterday afternoon.  My neighbor across the street is letting me borrow a teeny, tiny Ceepuy chainsaw that's about 6 inches long.  Let me tell you, that sucker is great for cutting up cleaning the branches so I can shove them into my wood chipper.  Looking out the window from my writing desk, I can say with certainty that a dent was made in cleaning up my... well, cleanup.  I have some chores to run this morning, but I'll be out again this afternoon.  

I did postpone the ride I had scheduled for yesterday afternoon; too many other jobs are taking precedence.  I'm only planning on doing the short upper-body workout this morning.  I want to get this clean-up complete as soon as possible, and that means spending more time out back this afternoon.  I texted this to my trainer, who replied that I'm probably getting more exercise doing this than if I were doing my full routines.  I'm going to agree with him on this.

Everyday I'm harvesting more tomatoes.  Today I'm going to make a pasta tomato salad which, hopefully will cover meals for today, tomorrow, and Sunday.  Oh, and I'm also going to be making bread pudding.  Yum.  Yesterday's harvest.

I was not surprised when I read that Elonia  Musk is going to be trying to buy Republican wins during the midterms.  Like the Orange Anus, he has his fan boys who believe he's a genius.  Like so many other billionaires, he suffers from a god complex.  He believes he's wealthy enough to make people do whatever he wants.  In fact, he is really nothing more than a large, puss filled boil ready to burst.  Tesla stock is dropping because, after all of the promises he made, the company is still not profitable.  His Space X stock?  Buyers beware, that stock is crashing faster than one of his rockets.  Making things worse for him is that both Japan and China now have reusable rocket engines, something he had a monopoly on.  I suspect one of the driving forces behind his throwing so much money into the midterms is that he realizes that, when Democrats take back power, many of his government contracts are going to be canceled.  I don't doubt that some time soon, Elonia will lanced, and amazingly enough, the world will survive.
