The rumors are not true - I am alive. Just busy in the morning with a Sports handicapping blog and by the time I'm done doing that I have to go work out because I have assumed DIABETES in my blood :-) I think the number was 5.4? So now I workout 3-4 times a week, eat lots of beans and carrots and nuts and canned spinach and a crap load of protein and actually have showing muscles (well for an old guy) and my knee feels 90%. I might even try walking for golf this year as a sub.
After working out at Absolute Fitness where I think I'm the YOUNG guy there I get home, I eat a good breakfast and fall asleep LOL
I normally wrote in the morning but working on spreadsheets took all that time. ANYWAY - now I'm writing to blow off some energy from sitting at Honda for a few hours (I thought I could get a deal - no) .
Last Sunday DJ is going to babysit and I get a call - flat tire at Walgreens. So I take AWOOO and we switch cars and figure I'll limp across the street to Kwik Trip and get air and deal with that after Daytona (which I missed last year).
I get there and YUP flat. DJ takes off and I drive across the street to get air but something ain't right, clunk clunk clunk.
I pull up and get the air hose out and I look at the tire.
WTF?
WELL - that's not good - no air is going in this tire. I call AAA since we pay for it and an hour later the dude shows up and we talk about the Daytona and I make a comment that maybe he could put the new tire on as fast as Daytona.
LITERALLY it took less than a minute - SERIOUSLY! Slide the auto jack under the car, push the button, car raises, Zing zing zing zing zing bolts off - tire off, spare on, Zing zing zing zing zing - take jack out - done OMG!!
Then we're look at the metal dog bone in the tire and he says WHAT IS THAT????
He grabs a wrench and tugs and tugs
Any clue???
Tire cannot be repaired so $300 later - new tire.
MEANWHILE - The Russians have invaded The Ukraine and from a few news articles I just read they are failing - it SEEMS the Ukrainians are fighting back WHO KNEW! Their Air Force is still intact and the deep deep intelligence we have it seems the first and second day objectives have not been met.
Seems that while X-President woman groper loved Russian intelligence over America's - OURS is pretty damn good. They knew how much blood was in their blood banks Putin delivered? We know a LOT of what is going on it seems.
It is SO nice to have an actual, competent President rather then one that will hide in a bunker and spew incomprehensible propaganda while stroking his Putin. It's nice to have a sane guy. And BTW - remember Clinton? I don't care what you think - she has been right on just about everything.
As a coincidence - I'm reading a series of books about the French Resistance. Fascinating. We all know what it was but HOW did it come to be. Something that organized is astonishing. I think about the Ukraine as I read it.
The movie The French Connection. Well the bad guys that the French Police turned their backs on were part of that resistance.
I did finish Dune. WELL - I was a little disappointed. Nice world building but that book SHOULD have been 3 books with more detail. I don't want to say it was "light" but it felt incomplete and rushed.
The Resistance series starts with "After Dunkirk".
OK - I just wanted to say I LIVE!!
NUFF said - I have a Free Agent Draft to look into on my Strat-o-matic team
Cheers
