Well….I am already grinding my teeth this morning with the damn dish not resetting the program guide…in my 5th try to get the damn thing to work and it is really irritating…but, I do feel better today and I have a few things to get done so that will help….was good last night so I feel okay this morning and I hope that continues all day…just have a few errands to run this morning…need to get a new compressor for the bike since Harbor Freight has them on sale for 7 bucks and then a couple more stops to get supplies that I need….and it is going to be 44 degrees today so maybe some of the damn snow will melt….and I could possibly get back on the bike later in the week if the rains come as they say over the next two days…..but then back to cold for a while…I guess it is January in Michigan and that’s to be expected…more later…

RIP Carrie Fisher…
Well….one drawback of my total news blackout is that there are times that news I want to hear isn’t heard….that happened this week when I found out that Carrie Fisher had died two days after Christmas from a heart attack…and then her mother, Debbie Reynolds, died a day after….now we all remember Carrie from her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars but she was an author, too, with bestselling books about her life….it is hard when people younger than you start to die off….RIP Carrie Fisher…
January 9th
Well…it was a long, boring day yesterday and I think I barely survived it….and that boredom continues today….and I feel crappy to go along with it so it’s the perfect storm of crappiness….oh, well…at least my back doesn’t hurt this morning so that is something….I think I may have slept okay last night but there were no dreams to make me know it….didn’t get anything done yesterday and I don’t feel like doing anything today but I may cook some just to do something…..but, maybe not…who knows? I should run errands today but I think I’ll wait until tomorrow when it is warmer…..more later….
Bored, bored, bored….
Well…bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored, bored…..
Another one for the B-3 count….
Well….as you can probably tell, I am bored out of my mind today and am watching way too much tv…and one thing I’m watching right now is the tribute to Bob Dylan on AXS tv…and, on the corner of the stage is a Hammond B-3….and, since there are multiple artists doing his songs, I’ll count this one for Bob…
Drone racing leagues?
Well….if you were here last week, you read about my incredulity of the existence of professional fishing leagues and I couldn’t understand why anyone would watch them….but today, I read of an even weirder type of league…a drone racing league…yep, you heard it…grown men standing around racing drones and the winner is awarded a championship in drones I guess…now I do have a new most ridiculous thing I have ever seen on tv…I wonder what’s next…a pro house painting league? Or how about a pro vacuuming league that you can play in your own house? Man, I need to find something else to do….
Another one for the B-3 count….
Well….watching a documentary on Fleetwood Mac and what do I see? Of course, a Hammond B-3 on stage…so, add another one to the B-3 count….
January 8th
Well…I did get a few things done yesterday and this place is shaping up…finally….but, I feel pretty crappy this morning with going out to have a couple with K and then cocktails last night…still not over the bug yet but it is a low level one that just takes my energy away….so today will be a low key one and I think I’ll just watch soccer…the FA cup games are on until this aft so that will be my morning….T left for the Bahamas yesterday and that is kind of a change for me….no texts for two weeks leaves a little hole in my life but I’ll live through it….both the Wings an Lions lost yesterday and that is getting to be normal…maybe the Wings will get a superstar draft pick from it….the Lions…nope, not going to talk about them…the last win in a playoff game in 1991? That’s all that needs to be said….okay…going back to the couch to watch soccer and have more coffee…more later…
January 7th
Well….crap…they shut the power off last night and I had to reset all the clocks in here….that’s not an excuse for being late this morning…just got up late…and I feel pretty crappy this morning…all my fault but I don’t feel bad about it…I think it’s strange that I had an equipment failure Thurs night but the damn thing is still working today so I am breathing a sigh of relief…can’t afford to replace anything right now….didn’t get anything done yesterday and today looks about the same but I think there is vacuuming to be done so I think I’ll do that later…but, after the rest of the Man U match…more later…
No pool today….
Well…I just remembered to come back here today since I don’t have an excuse not to…Tom is still feeling crappy so no pool today and, with overdoing it last night, that’s not a bad thing…..I was in the car all morning and it was so cold I never shut it off for 2 1/2 hours…but, I made some cash so that is cool…think I have enough stashed now to get through the end of February and that takes a load off….so, I think I’ll end here and watch a little Star Trek on BBC….
