Well…damn, I hurt frickin everywhere this morning and I have no clue why that would be…all I did was mow the lawn on top of the rides yesterday but that’s normal for me…hmmm…the allergies have been terrible the past few days and I need to take something for it here in a minute…it looks like rain is finally coming in soon so I’ll be down on the indoor bike in a half hour or so…up at 3 today but was able to get back to sleep til 5:34…left the house open overnight since it didn’t get below 70 all night and it is nice to have a slight, cool breeze blowing through here as I wait for the rain…didn’t get a lot done but mowing the lawn yesterday and I wonder how much I’ll get done today? I think I’ll grill some chicken legs today along with some sliced potatoes but I’m not sure if I want to do that much work…I do need to make some chicken masala again so I have some easy leftover food to eat…it seems like cooking is getting to be a chore like everything lately…it’s after 7 and I need to get on the bike soon but I sure need a day to just veg and take it easy…just want to sit on the porch couch and listen to the rain when it comes…not much to do today…if I can get through the bike ride indoors it will be an accomplishment…and I’ll keep my string of riding every day this year intact…have 165 days in a row of riding and I know my record is 186 days so that will fall by early July…and that is just for this year…I really started this string last October 19th so I’m already over the record…more later…

Well…another day of starting out at 7am and now I just finished up at 2pm and I am used up…got the first ride in downstairs to start my day…then out for groceries where I did pick up a new tire for the bike and that was an ouch at 25 bucks…then two rides outdoors and mowing the lawn since it may rain off and on for the next two days…I did see a mama turkey with 8 little ones crossing a busy street this morning and the little ones were so tiny I could hold two of them in the palm of my hand..was going to stop and get a photo but didn’t want to spook them and have them run out into traffic…still waiting to hear from depot that my blinds are in so I can get them up…should probably put the groceries away but I just want to sit a minute and read some news after I’m done here…bought some chicken legs at aldi’s for 99 cents a pound so the grill will be working overtime the rest of the week…okay, time for some news…

Well…have to get on the indoor bike in 15 minutes and I’ve only had a couple of sips of coffee and that is not enough to jump start this old body…slept okay last night but feel pretty worn out even though I ate two meals yesterday…I really think that is too many calories…I mean a burger and a chicken burrito in the same day? I did get the shower cleaned and need to finish the bathroom today but that will be after the 33 miles on the bike….it’s going to warm up over the next few days to almost 90 for highs and I’m ready for that…it was 41 degrees yesterday morning and that is just wrong for the middle of June…it may rain today and the radar shows that there is a little shower coming in and maybe some storms later today and into tomorrow…need to mow the lawn today after I get one outdoor ride in but I may do it after the grocery run…it seems that every day is a busy one lately and I’m so tired of running and running… and I have about 5 minutes before I need to get on the indoor bike…the new blinds are supposed to be in today at depot but I haven’t heard from them yet…I sure want to get them up  and get rid of the walmart crap I’ve lived with since I bought this place….more later…

Well…damn, it’s 43 degrees out here and I know it’s never been that cold in the middle of June since I’ve lived out here….so I’ll be waiting to get on the outdoor bike til around 9am…I am sore everywhere from cleaning the windows yesterday but it is nice to have that done and I like the way it looks from the outside of the house…no other house in the neighborhood has windows this clean… and I’m going to get them dirty again when I start on cleaning the siding so I’ll have to do the outside of them again…oh, well..we are going to get a huge weather change out here starting Wed when the high temps will start to rise to almost 90 and then stay in the 80’s for a couple of weeks…cripes, I’m going to spend a few hundred bucks the next week or so with the new blinds, new front brakes for the car, and rebuilding the driveline on the black bike that is going to be over a hundred dollars…okay, the weather widget on the bottom of the screen says it’s 41 degrees and that is damn cold for the middle of June and will probably push the outdoor rides back til 10am…not much to do today…going to make it an easier day and not work for 11 hours like I did yesterday…but I do need to get on the indoor bike here in 25 minutes to start the day…and I sure don’t want to…more later….

Well…this has to break soon or I’m going to break…started off this morning at 7am on the indoor bike and since it was too darn cold, I started cleaning the windows and got the 3 kitchen ones done before the temp came up enough to get on the outdoor bike for two rides, then had lunch and got right back to cleaning the other 9 windows and the mini blinds and just finished up a little after 6pm so and 11 hour day today and I am beat…and one of the cheap assed walmart blinds in the living room broke so I decided to order three grey ones that I was going to buy anyway and they are not cheap…29 bucks each since my living room windows are so big…so I just burned 90 bucks at depot and they will be in Wed for me to pick up…and then I’ll install all three even before I work on repairing the window frames so I don’t have to look at these crooked ass blinds anymore…haven’t even had time to breathe today and I still have work to do before I can relax…damn…

Well…damn, just sitting here exhausted and wondering why I can’t luxuriate in taking a day off anymore….was up and down all night last night starting at 1am but that is still not going to allow me to take a nap to make up for it…it’s only 50 degrees out here right now so that will mean an indoor ride in 28 minutes while I wait for the temp to come up…it’s going to be hot later in the week with highs getting to near 90 and that will bring the assholes out and I’ll be making noise calls all week…I just can’t figure out the thought process of these morons…I mean someone in their 60’s thumping that bullshit? Oh, well…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get enough done…need to do the kitchen windows today and get the dirt out of them…and that will mean taking the blinds down and washing them, too…and I do need to start on washing the siding, too…damn, just too much to do…but, to do that, I need to get going right now…and finish the coffee…the first cup anyway….more later…

Well…darn, have had another busy one today and I’m just now done and it’s pushing two pm…started out the day with being ready to get on the bike by 7:15 but when I got out there the rear tire was flat so I must have pinched it with the tire tools when I changed the tire yesterday…so I did my best imitation of a nascar pit crew and put a new tube in it…only took about 5 minutes and then I got out and did three rides for another 38 miles…when I got back here I got cleaned up and put the chicken on the grill and, while that was cooking, I took care of the garden, cut some lettuce for the burger I had for lunch and for the chicken sandwich I’m planning on for later, and trimmed the small shrub that is next to the back door…shrank it back to how it started in the spring and have to keep at it so it doesn’t get too unruly…and now I’m finally done for the day other than the weight work and I am going to watch the F1 race in the rain in Canada and then the indycar and nascar race later…I need some time off but I may start on the bathroom in between…and I need to start on the windows…just have too much to do…I will have beans at about the end of next week and can’t wait…will have meals of just beans…I hope…

Well…damn, I’m sore everywhere this morning and I wonder how it’s going to feel on the bike? Going to do three rides outdoors this morning since there is little wind and it’s going to be sunny and almost 60 when I go out in an hour or so…I am going to sit here and enjoy the luxury of coffee and time today…don’t have anything to do today…okay, I do have things to do but nothing that is really pressing so I can choose what to do…going to grill some chicken today so I can make some chicken burritos for the next few days…I do need to clean the bathroom at some point and that will probably be this afternoon…the pain in my shoulders has moved to the right side where it has always been and it must be from sleeping on it last night…didn’t sleep well with getting up around three and then up and down the rest of the night but I feel okay…but the coffee needs to work soon or I’ll be dragging on the bike….it was a little weird to have a big chunk come out of the rear tire tread on the bike yesterday…it was as big as the tip of my finger and I could feel it through the seat coming back…but the tube protectors did their jobs so I didn’t have to put a new tube in…lots of races on today with F1, Indycar, and nascar all on and at the same time so I’ll have to pick what I want to watch…and cook chicken before all of that….more later….

Well…darn, it’s been another one of those busy days with going over to my brothers house again and spending over 4 hours there working…but, the day started out with me losing power while I was on the indoor bike around 8 am…then over to work on the tools, back here about 1:30pm and decided to take a ride in the rain…chunked the rear tire so I had to replace that while I was grilling burgers…glad I had remembered to buy a tire a couple of weeks ago to have one in stock…so, I’ll have to buy another one this week…the one I took off had holes all over it but I’ve only had one flat so far this year…fingers crossed…I did get some more tools today…got an electric impact driver that I’ve always wanted and a few small things…some little clamps that will come in handy when I get to patching the tubes I have downstairs…and I haven’t had time to even look at the news or do my weight work yet…butter get moving…again…

Well…damn, need to get moving right now since I am going over to my brother’s house again today and need to get a bike ride in before that…so that gives me 10 minutes to drink coffee and do this….had a good day yesterday but didn’t get a damn thing done and today will be the same…need to get started on the windows  and I’ve never been this late since I’ve lived here…damn, I’m getting old….when I get back here I need to grill some burgers since I thawed a pound of burger that needs to be cooked and I’ll need to add some chicken breasts so I’ll have food for the week…and I’ll make a batch of chicken masala tomorrow and probably some chicken burritos…want to make a pizza this week, too so I’ll have plenty of food…too much, really…it is supposed to rain today so I wonder if that will keep me off the outdoor bike? I can live with 16 miles on the indoor bike and can probably use the rest…not much to do today…just the work at my brothers and back here to figure out what else I need to do…more later…
