just enough rain to make me miserable...

 i think we're getting some of the hurricane or what is left of the tropical depression today. it has been raining on and off for hours now. just enough to make me fucking miserable. joy.

the Yankees lost again last night, to the Angels, 8-7. hopefully they will end the losing streak tonight.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Deadliest Catch and Hard Knocks.

i have spent a good portion of today watching the deadline coverage of the transfer window, wondering what Manchester United might do.

when i read CR7's message this morning to all the United fans, i started to cry. the line that this was for Sir Alex got to me. if Cristiano can bring home some trophies in his second time with the club, he will be a god.

i need to pick up the trash and get that out. i also have a couple of checks to write. hopefully, i will get paid tomorrow and add a trip to the bank to all the grocery shopping i need to do.

i should be on here after i get that all done tomorrow.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

i am definitely not a morning person...

 i was up at 5:30 this morning. neither mom or i are morning people, so when she has an appointment in the morning, i know i need to be up early to help her. i got her to her appointment nearly exactly on time. thankfully, the dentist didn't have to do as much as he thought, so i only had to get her when she was done. she's currently enjoying the effects of the drugs she got. she told me she felt weird before she went to sleep. i told her to embrace it. i'm going to get her to open her third eye sometime before she dies.

the Yankees lost again last night at Oakland, 3-1. they start a series tonight at the Angels. these are 3 games they need to win.

Big Brother was good last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

Heels was great last night. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i do hope everyone had a great weekend.

i did listen to episode 358 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

https://www.stitcher.com/show/sam-roberts-wrestling-podcast/episode/effy-notsam-wrestling-358-86431007

so i had to get gas yesterday and decided i would go get a few other things as well. i found some stuff at Big Lots that Kroger doesn't carry anymore. of course, i went there hoping to find baseball cards. i had to go to Kroger to get gas and mom's pills, so i stopped by the Rite Aid up there. i bought two Fairfield boxes of baseball cards for $9. there was $65 worth of cards in them. i was fucking shocked. there was a rookie card in there that i was stunned to see. plus about 10 cards from hall of famers. that made me pretty damn happy. of course, the Yankees made sure that didn't last.

Manchester United defeated Wolves yesterday, 1-0. they were outplayed for the majority of the match. i would love to see them get some help in the midfield before the deadline is up tomorrow. but, with the victory they set the record for the longest unbeaten streak on the road in the history of English football. 28 games so far. 

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

 so, the Yankees winning streak finally came to an end yesterday. they lost to Oakland, 3-2. hopefully, they can start a new streak tonight.

i did watch most of El Trafico yesterday. that is one rivalry game in MLS that never disappoints. it finished 3-3.

ROH was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Heels and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Manchester United plays today at Wolves. i believe if they win or draw, they will set the record for the longest unbeaten away streak in Premier League history.

other than that, sadly i will probably be watching hurricane coverage today.

mom has to be at the dentist tomorrow morning at 8. i know i'm going to be running on fucking fumes tomorrow. i have no damn clue when i will be doing the blog.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

and we barely got a drop of rain...

 so, the storms came back last night and sure enough, we got nothing. oh well.

mom's doctor's appointment went well yesterday. he did lower some of the drugs she is on. that made me happy. after the appointment, we decided to go to Fricker's for lunch. we haven't been at this place for over a year. the food was still good.

so, i did watch some of the Hell is Real game last night, Columbus vs. Cincinnati in the MLS. Columbus came from behind to win 3-2. it was a crazy game.

the Yankees won their 13th straight game last night, 8-2 over Oakland.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

The Shop was great last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty good last night.

Back on the Record with Bob Costas was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'm sure i will watch some soccer today as well as some college football.

i should be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

to my friends in New Orleans, please be safe, if such a thing is even possible anymore.

 welcome to the weekend boys and girls. hard to believe August is almost over.

the Yankees blew a 6-0 lead last night, but still found a way to win, 7-6, over Oakland. that's 12 wins in a row, their longest winning streak since 1961. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

NXT UK was good last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Derek X was evicted, 5-2. Tiffany is the new HOH.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, The Shop, Real Time with Bill Maher, On The Record with Bob Costas and AEW Rampage. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock. 

so, i went to bed last night and all the rumors were CR7 would be going to Manchester City. this morning, the narrative has flipped and now the homecoming to Manchester United looks most likely. i never saw that coming. quick update. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, CR7 is coming home...

mom has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. she got most of her numbers from her blood draw yesterday and they look pretty good. hopefully, good enough that they can take her off or have her take less pills each day.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

and finally, rain...

 so, i got mom to the place this afternoon to get her blood drawn. i had to show her how to get the appointment online and everything, but now at least she has the app on her phone. after we got done there, we went to Perkins for lunch. i had a 20% off coupon. as we were leaving there, we could see the rain clouds rolling in. we got back home and of course, it hadn't rained here. 20 minutes later, we had a thunderstorm warning and showers pouring down. hopefully, this will break the fucking heatwave.

everything went well with mom's appointment with her heart doctor yesterday. her heart is much better than when she had congestive heart failure. of course, this meant they had to change up her meds again. joy.

as for the grocery shopping yesterday, it felt like it took forever. and since i was shopping later, they didn't have everything that was on the list. but, i eventually got everything for the most part. i did get a box of Fairfield baseball cards when i was at Rite Aid. $5 box that had about $15 worth of cards in it. that works for me.

AEW was really good last night.

Big Brother was good last night. sadly, it looks like Derek X is going to be evicted tonight.

American Horror Story: Double Feature was fucking great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Big Brother. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees play tonight out in Oakland. hopefully, the Yankees can keep on winning.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow morning before i have to take mom to another doctor's appointment. if the weather is nice, i think she wants to go shopping afterwards.

my arthritis is screaming for an ice pack and my massage chair, so that's all for me kids.

not how i wanted to start today...

 i've had as many shits this morning as hours i slept (3). not how i wanted to start this hectic day.

the Yankees won their 11th straight game last night in Atlanta, 5-4.  this is their longest winning streak since 1985. they are off tonight and start a huge series in Oakland on Thursday.

NXT was good last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW, Big Brother and two episodes of American Horror Story: Double Feature.

so, mom has her appointment with her heart doctor in a few hours. when that is over, i have to get the grocery shopping done. and on top of all that, there is rain in the area and my arthritis is killing me. good times.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here on Thursday. i know i need to take mom to get her bloodwork done for her doctor's appointment on Friday. she was supposed to do that yesterday and when i asked her about it in the afternoon, she had completely forgotten about it. fun times.

that's all for me kids...

just as i was starting to write this...

 i saw an alert come across my phone that Charlie Watts had died. it made me immediately think about the time, the only time, i got to see The Rolling Stones in concert. it was easily the best concert i have ever been to. and honestly, i always thought of Charlie as one of the most underrated drummers in the history of music. if you really listen to all those old Stones songs, the drums fatten up the sound so much. Charlie was 80 years old. rest in peace. the sound of those drums will live forever.

now great, i get to type this up with tears rolling down my face...

the Yankees won last night down in Atlanta, 5-1. that's 10 wins in a row now. hopefully, number 11 comes tonight.

the New Orleans Saints won last night at home against Jacksonville, 23-21. 

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i did listen to episode 357 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

we are in the middle of another fucking heat wave. it looks like it is going to be anywhere from 90 to 100 for the next week or so. good times.

i have to go to Kroger to get my mother's pills. she has already warned me there are something like 9 prescriptions i need to get that will cost around $200. oh joy.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has a doctor's appointment with her heart doctor in the afternoon. and then i get to do all the grocery shopping after that is over. good times.

here comes the week from hell...

 so, mom has an appointment about every other day this week. and with the heat, this is going to be the week from hell. at least her dentist appointment is in town, so i'm going to go back home after she gets in there so i don't have to sit out in the heat. i'll probably do what i was going to do if i was waiting in the car... writing poems.

NXT Takeover 36 was awesome last night. if this was Adam Cole's goodbye to WWE, he honestly had one of the greatest runs in NXT EVER. and Walter vs. Dragunov II was just as fucking amazing as the first one was. just one fucking amazing weekend for pro wrestling.

Big Brother was good last night.

Heels was good last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the Yankees play tonight at Atlanta. with both teams on winning streaks, this should be very interesting tonight.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against Jacksonville. i'll probably watch some of the game tonight.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before i have to take mom to get some bloodwork done.

so right around the time Takeover was starting last night, i got word that "Mr. Ranger" Rod Gilbert had passed away at the age of 80. now, i became a fan of the New York Rangers after he had stopped playing, but i always knew what he meant to the club and city. Rod lived an amazing life. it is going to be a little weird not seeing him at MSG again. rest in peace.

so i guess i can only sleep with ice on my back now...

 i think i am averaging something around 4 hours of sleep at best in my bed now. but, put a little ice on my back in my massage chair, and i'm out in a few minutes. joy.

so, the Yankees won yesterday against the Twins, 7-1. today's game got postponed yesterday because of the hurricane/tropical storm in the area. that game will be made up in September i think. the Yankees start a series in Atlanta tomorrow night.

SummerSlam was pretty good last night. i definitely was surprised to see Becky Lynch and Brock Lesnar return. i didn't mind them making Becky the Smackdown women's champ, but the match with Bianca should have lasted longer than 26 seconds. and people wonder why so many of us think Vince is a fucking racist. 

ROH was good last night.

Austin City Limits was the Yola episode that never aired on the PBS channel here when it was supposed to. it was excellent.

so i got up this morning and fed the birds and watered the tomatoes and got my breakfast made in time for the Manchester United game. i wasn't pleased with Ole's starting lineup, or the officiating, or the fact that United was too fucking sloppy today at Southampton. now sure, a 1-1 draw keeps the away streak going, but that is two fucking points dropped that will surely come back to haunt them at the end of the season, just like last season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Heels and Last Week Tonight. i'll be watching NXT Takeover 36 for most of the evening on Peacock.

since the Yankees aren't playing today, i decided it would be a good day to get my laundry done. i know i will playing chauffeur just about every day this coming week.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow, before i have to take mom to her dentist appointment in the afternoon.

 so, i waited 7 long years for last night to happen. and honestly, it was worth it. thank fucking god, CM Punk is back in pro wrestling. and every thing he did last night reminded me and hopefully millions of other people why he has always been one of my favorites of all-time.

the Yankees beat the Twins last night, 10-2. hopefully they will win again this afternoon.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night. i am looking forward to SummerSlam tonight.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.

so, i did open the baseball cards last night. it was a value box of 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter. i got a good number of rookies and some really nice cards in it. i haven't seen any values on them yet, but i'm pretty sure it will be worth more than what i paid for them.

i need to go up to Kroger at some point today and get my test strips for checking my blood sugar.

i'll do that after i take a shower.

i also need to vacuum the house today. 

i'm guessing i will watch plenty of baseball and soccer this afternoon.

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Southampton.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Britt did get evicted last night. Sarah Beth is the new HOH.

Holey Moley was hilarious last night.

When Nature Calls was great last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night. they are off to October now i think.

my package from Topps showed up today. i haven't opened it up yet. i was totally fucking stunned when the MLB gave the license for the baseball cards to Fanatics. that will be stunning to see in a couple of years.

The King announced his retirement today. the New York Rangers said a few hours later that his number will be going into the rafters this season. i know i will have tears on that night.

i need to vacuum the house sometime this weekend. i might get that out of the way tonight.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.
