Well…damn, I have 14 minutes until I have to get on the bike so this is going to be a short one…want to get a ride in before the grocery runs so that means I need to be on it before 7…going to hit three stores today since DD has lots of stuff on sale…I mean 5 pounds of breakfast sausage for 4 bucks? And boneless/skinless chicken thighs for 90 cents a pound? Have plenty of room in the freezer so I can stock up again…damn, have to be on the bike in 8 minutes and I am so frickin worn out that I can barely move…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I hope to have everything done by 10 or so then out to the beach….or I can skip the beach and relax a bit…that decision will be made after I get the rides and grocery runs in…I did get some color yesterday and could use more to even out my tan…lots to do today…going to be running for the next few hours and I need to start right now….more later…

Well…damn, one of these days I’m going to take the day off and just sit here and watch tv all day….hurt my back somehow and it is stiff around the sides and I wonder how it’s going to do on the bike…didn’t get my water bill again this month so I need to go over to city hall today to pay it and bitch them out about it…it’s warm enough to get out on the bike as soon as I’m ready but it will be another 45 minutes or so until the coffee starts to work…damn, my right elbow hurts now and I think it’s going to be a rough day….the last day off the bike was after the last biopsy and that was a month ago but I still need to do the big ride before my birthday…and the weather is going to change later in the week down to the 70’s for highs so it may be the perfect time to do it…we’ll see…have leftovers for meals today but I do need to plan for the rest of the week…still have a block of 5 pounds of chicken in the freezer that I can thaw but I may get some thighs tomorrow or maybe something at DD…not much to do today….just the rides and some cleaning but it’s going to be 90 so I’m going to the beach again….but it’s boring if I can’t swim so I won’t be out there long…more later….

Well…I got I’ll call a swim in today but it lasted a total of about 2 minutes the water was so cold…but I went under so that counts and makes it 66 years in a row that I have gotten a swim in Lake Michigan…didn’t do anything else today other than cook on the grill…made some chicken thighs, Italian sausage, and roasted potatoes so I’ll have food for a couple of days….man, it’s hot out here but my house isn’t too bad with the wind blowing so I may not have to put the AC unit in this year…we’ll see…it’s 88 outside but only 78 in here and I can live with that…need to put the fan on in a minute to get some air moving…I think I got the mini bike shut down yesterday since the idiot kid was nowhere to be seen or heard today….good riddance…I think I’m going to watch the “Extractor” movie tonight and that will take up most of the night but then I’ll probably do the Korean show after that…okay, need to go out and put the trash out…it’s too hot to have trash sitting out next to the back door…doesn’t smell too bad but I’m not going to take that chance…

Well…it looks like it’s going to be a beach day today with the temps getting into the high 80’s and up to 90 the next few days…hope the lake is warm enough to swim since that is the best part of going out there…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same but I will get the bike rides in here in a bit…I do need to cook today and I may use the grill to cook more Italian sausage and boneless/skinless chicken thighs that will get me through most of the week…getting in a rut on food and need to change it up a bit but I’m not sure what that would be…I do have baked beans in the cupboard that I may open…who knows? Getting that damn mini bike shut down was good work for yesterday and I hope the idiot people who bought it for their 8 year old understand it was stupid for them to send him out to tear up and down the street….there are just too much stupidity in this world these days and I won’t allow it to ruin my peaceful life….not much to do today…just need more coffee and then to get on the bike in a few minutes…one of these days I’m going to just relax and let the day unfold as it will…so tired of go, go, go to get things done….didn’t get the water bill again so I have to ride over to the city hall to pay it again…crap…more later…

Well…the kid on the minibike just about killed himself this morning flying down the alley and right into the street in front of a car…I could hear the tires squealing from here but that didn’t stop him and he kept up racing up and down the street so I called the cops and had an officer stop and talk to me so I could explain what was going on…he looked for the kid but must not have found him since he was just out in the street again racing up and down…so I called back as the officer asked but I think it is going to be a whack a mole situation for a while until he stumbles on  he kid…I also told him about the drug house to the north of me that has a constant stream of cars stopping there and he told me they are aware of it and the house across the street where all the noise is coming from…and someone else made a noise call yesterday since he told me they got one and it wasn’t me…so that is cool to have more than just me calling…

Well…I am so damn exhausted this morning…up at 4 and then out of bed before 6 and that is not helping with my energy level…it’s 51 out there right now so I’ll have to wait a bit before I can go out on the bike…it’s still only 6:50 so I guess I have time to wait….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to try to get more done today…but I don’t want to…just want to sit here and do nothing for just one day….I do need to start prepping for everything that is going to happen to me over the next few months starting with the teeth work on the 10th of July….just want it all to be over…yeah…pretty depressed this morning but not defined depression…just the feeling of being overwhelmed with life and health issues….and eating too much so I’m gaining weight….so today will be a one meal day with a piece of chicken and 8 spears of asparagus and that should be under 500 calories for the day…but I am going to have a banana before the bike rides…so that will add a hundred cals and I can live with that…not much to do today…there are the Indy car and F1 races on today and the US plays in the Nations League final later but that’s not on til 9 so I won’t see much of it….I really do need more coffee….more later…

Well…I finally broke through the malaise and got some cleaning done today and that’s a relief…have been a slug for way too long and I’ll try to keep that up tomorrow with doing the bathroom and taking the rest of the tiles down from the dropped ceiling….I did cook some today, too but I think I ate too much…a chicken thigh and tiny drumstick with 8 asparagus spears for lunch, and a burger with two spoons of potato salad for dinner…full completely full…stuffed actually so I’ll have to do better tomorrow…maybe one meal…just noticed that I can hear the big V-8 powered boats on Muskegon Lake from my house and that’s kind of cool…it looks like a Svengoolie night for entertainment tonight sine he has a movie on I don’t think I’ve seen….

Well…damn, I thought I’d lost my sense of smell this morning since I didn’t smell the coffee when getting out of bed at 6:30 but I just forgot to hit the timer button on the coffee maker…still can’t taste it much but I need the caffeine to work so I can get out on the bike by 8…too damn cold right now at 50 degrees and I am so damn tired of the cold…the heat didn’t come on yet but I think it will if it doesn’t warm up soon…didn’t get much done yesterday but I do need to clean today…want to get the kitchen floor done before F1 qualifying at 4 and I have some chicken and Italian sausage to grill today and want to do that for lunch…going to have to call the cops again today if the idiots who bought their kid a mini bike send him out on the street again to run up and down the street all day….8 or 9 year old just flying the thing and almost hit a car more than once…who the hell does that…sounds like child endangerment to me and I’ll probably be on the phone in the next hour or so….not much to do today…just cleaning and cooking and taking care of the garden that is dying….oh, well…more later…

Well…took a day off today other than riding the bike twice this morning and I need to get out of that habit…I do have work to do especially cleaning that I could be doing do tomorrow is going to be clean the kitchen day since it really could use it…and the bathroom could use a once over along with the living room needs dusting so I will need to show some discipline and get some things done….I am waiting for a call back from the cops since there has been an 8-9 year old kid blasting a minbike up and down the street all day and I really think he is going to get killed with how he’s driving the thing…and it’s damn annoying to have him go past my house 4 times a minute…has been going on since 2 this afternoon and I’m not going to listen to that crap all summer…who the hell buys an 8 year old a minibike and set him loose on busy city streets? Geez…

Well…running a bit late today with not getting up til 6:40 and I’m wondering what would happen if I decided to not get on the bike today? I know I won’t but it would be nice to just do whatever I want for just one day….had an okay day yesterday and got some work done on the spare room but I think I’m going a different direction in there…the previous owners put some kind of fibrous paneling over the plaster on the ceiling that would be a pain to take down so I may just buy new inserts for the dropped ceiling and leave it in there….we’ll see…I did get the overhead light re-mounted to the ceiling yesterday and I’ll take the last panels out today…after the bike rides….my daughter sent me a couple of pairs of what would be called sweat pants but they are too nice for that…made out of stretchy material that look stylish….I wonder if she doesn’t want me traveling in jeans? Can get on the bike as soon as I have my coffee since it’s in the 50’s right now and I want to get it done as soon as I can….need to make potato salad this morning and cook some chicken on the grill later but I really have no motivation right now….just so damn worn out that I hope the coffee works soon….not much to do today…going to drag myself out here in a while to get started on the day…but more coffee is essential to make that happen…more later…
