Bluntness

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

The Arrival

 So, yesterday was my day off and I had a few chores planned, mostly I wanted to work on painting the trim in the exercise room and the hallway.  I was upstairs moving things around when the dogs began barking... loudly.  They do that when someone walks past or a FedEx or UPS truck stops at a nearby house to make a delivery.  And then my doorbell rang.  Surprise!  My treadmill had unexpectedly arrived.  There was supposed to be an appointment... that never happened.  The tall, skinny guy who delivered it said it weighed 300 lbs, I corrected him 232 lbs.  Oh, and I had to help him get it up on the porch, and with his help, I pushed it into my living room.


Justin's coming over this morning to help me carry it up the stairs.  And, I've decided I'm going to take the day off.  I want to get it completely assembled, and maybe get a jog in.  Business has been slow.

Of course our skies were filled with clouds last evening so there was no viewing the bright planets.  A friend from Arizona posted a picture and you saw two specific points of light, not one, which means this was a lot of hype.  

And I saw where Pat Robertson, who once said the Idiot Jerk was going to be re-elected and that would start the end of days, now says the Idiot Jerk should concede.  That man is an old fool and should keep his mouth shut.  

Oh, and we're getting a teeny, weeny check from the government.  While I don't really need the funds, there are many who do.  The Republicans don't really care about them, only themselves.  The problem is too many of them are old, and too many are two wealthy.  These people need to be excluded from the election process since they only seek to serve themselves.

  1. Robertson also said Biden will die in office, or resign, before his term is up. And said that _____ shouldn't run in 2024, but let Nikki Haley do so.
    Nikki Haley?
    My laugh of the day.

  2. Enjoy your day off and your new toy! :)

    I see Bob's comment about Nikki Haley and I would laugh along with him except that I can totally see the GOP backing Nikki Haley in 2024 and giving her wholehearted support. After 45, nothing is too absurd or off the table for Republicans.

    1. You wouldn't be Ho Ho Hoing if you'd seen the delivery guy. He kept pausing and putting his hand over his heart and I kept thinking 'shit, this guy either has Covid or he's going to keel over with a heart attack.'

  5. Whoa, Dave.
    It's bigger than I thought. But I bet you get that all the time, no?
    And it's cool you're taking the day off to assemble it.
    I wish people were getting a bigger check. It really is almost nothing for some people, at this point...

    XOXO

    2. I am not surprised by this. Not at all. But I think I'm going to need pics. Of that big thing. When you assemble it. Just to see how it looks, of course.

      XOXO

  6. I hope my second son gets his check this time. He still hasn't received the first one. I guess it'll be nice when he gets both as they could really use it. As for Pat Robertson - pffft! Senile old far!

    1. As soon as I heard we were getting it I ordered a Fenix 6 sports watch. And senile is an understatement.
