Well…up a little before 6 this morning and have just spent almost 2 hours getting my emby guide re populated so I can use it today…and that made me too late to get a bike ride in before the F1 race at 9…I am just so damn worn out today and I’m not looking forward to all of the damn medical crap this week…might even take the day off the bike today but you know I won’t….there is a red flag warning for wildfires today with no rain, wind, and high temps for today….it looks like we are going to go another 10 days with no rain out here and that will get up to 50 days without any and I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in my long life….we’re into June without any storms at all? That is pretty darn strange….didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same with very little motivation going on with me…I know that half a pork chop, two spoonfuls of potato salad, and some asparagus is not enough to support two rides but without being able to taste anything, I just don’t care about eating anymore….not much to do today….just going to sit here for a while and have more coffee as I try to figure out what the day is going to look like….more later…

Well…darn, I almost forgot to come back here and do another one today…and there really isn’t any reason for it other than I’ve been bored…the tv service my son runs and where I get all my live tv has been down all day and that sucks since he isn’t talking to me…I did text him this morning but won’t hear back so I missed all the races today and will probably miss them tomorrow, too…sucks…I did get a few things done today…pulled the weeds in the lawn, did laundry, and made dinner of asparagus in the air fryer…it looks like I’m getting my bills again with getting the electric bill yesterday and a credit card bill today…so that takes a load off…I need to spend the day getting all of the paperwork done for my consults on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday…and I can’t wait for them to be over…my daughter sent me another care package today that had 2 Contego coffee cups, 2 instant pot cookbooks, 2 pairs of compression socks, and two huge, 100% cotton beach towels in it…they are selling the summer home and she said I’ll be getting lots more home stuff like sheets and bath towels over the next few weeks…I can use anything and I have room for it so why not?

Well…damn, emby is down this morning so there won’t be any races for me today and that sucks…and that means I really don’t have to hurry to get on the bike to be done before F1 qualifying….still so damn worn out that it is going to be a chore to do anything today…do I text my son and tell him? Not right now…I think I may take the day off tomorrow…the little widget at the bottom of the screen just flashed “record high” so it’s going to be a bad one today but we may get some rain this afternoon but I’m not holding my breath about that…had an okay day yesterday but I don’t think I ate enough but with not being able to taste anything, eating is not something that gives me any pleasure anymore…and that sucks….not too sore today but my right shoulder hurts from sleeping on it last night…nothing new but annoying….it is strange to be living in this old body and remembering what it was like to not be so damn old…I mean I’m never going to get better and it’s nothing but decline from this point forward….and that sucks…more later….

Well..its been a hot, hot day today and even with running an errand this morning, I still got the rides in by 10 to beat the heat…but that’s all I did today except find a bigger container to put out for the animals…washed it and put it under the tree but also left the little one out…and you can guess which one they are using….they have ignored the big one since I put it out around noon and I thought at least the Bluejays would splash in it since some of them are too big to fit in the small one…but I’ll leave them both out there and see if they warm up to it….still haven’t put the ac unit in yet and slept okay last night and I didn’t even put the fan on me so that was nice…might have to tonight….

Well…I think I’ve hit a wall this morning after being on the bike for 30 miles a day for almost a month now…feel so worn out that I’m thinking of taking the day off today…I need to go out and run an errand this morning to get a new garden hose since one of mine now has 5 leaks in it and I am tired of getting wet using it…I did notice that a couple of bean plants have flowers on them but they are only 6 inches tall so the beans are going to be pretty small…everything is just stunted other than the radishes….it was damn hot yesterday and I did get a little color at the beach but that means my right foot is a little swollen and pink…so I need to keep it raised a bit…it is going to be hot again today and tomorrow but it looks like we may get some rain tomorrow and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for that…will probably go out and stand in it if it does….need to figure out what the second meal is going to be today..DD has stuff on sale that I want but I have no room in the freezer…I guess I should use some of the stuff in there first…not much to do today…just need to run the errand but I sure don’t feel like it right now…and I need to do the bike rides…crap, too much to do…at least it was cool enough to not put the AC unit in the window….more later…

Well…darn, I’m going to say something that I never thought I would…I think I’ve lost enough weight…yeah, my entire life has been focused on restricting calories but now, I think being in the 160’s is enough for now…down almost 40 pounds in the last year and now I need to have a new mindset….had a good day yesterday and don’t have a lot to do today…thinking about going to the beach to even out my color and veg a bit…it’s going to be 90+ for the next few days and that would be great if the lake was warm enough to swim but it’s still in the 50’s and that is way too cold…but it is June 1st so it will be getting there soon…I need to get a bigger pan to put water out for the animals out here since it hasn’t rained in almost a month and they empty the 2 quart one I have out there overnight….it’s a leftover day today but I am going to make potato salad this morning after the bike rides…I can start on the rides at any time since it is warm enough to go out in a t-shirt right now…got out of bed at 6:30 this morning and I may have slept a bit but sure don’t feel like it…not much to do today…just going to get on  the bike by 7:30 so I can finish the second ride by 10 or so…man, I’m tired….more later….

Well…it was an okay day today if a little busy…got the grocery run done and then on the bike for two rides…the shifter was darn near perfect and didn’t need any adjustment but I did do one small one just to get the 4th to 3rd shift a little better after I got back here but other than that, it is just so nice to have a new shifter on it and know that I’ll get the gear I want when I want it…after I had lunch of catfish and roasted potato, I got started on peeling the potatoes for the potato salad I’m making tomorrow…not sure why since I still barely taste anything but I have eggs that need to be used…made an early dinner of grilled pork chops and asparagus but could only eat half of a chop so I’ll have them for three more days…I did get my tablet set up for the doctor consultation on Monday and it works on zoom now so that’s cool…will bring the tripod up from downstairs to put it on so it won’t be so jerky…I do need to do some research before that but I’ve got 4 days to do that so no hurry….probably going to put the AC in the window tomorrow since it’s going to be really hot the next few days and I may need it to be able to sleep at all…want to clean it up first since I’m sure it has some cobwebs in it…okay, that’s enough…need to do my teeth and make ice…

Well…it’s the last day of the month and I’m not sure I like time passing…feeling so beat today that I’m not sure about the grocery run…I know I have to do it but it seems like way too much work right now…still haven’t gotten my fingernails clean after the bike work yesterday and I’m not sure if they will ever be clean again…just want to get back here and rest today…might even take the day off the bike….damn, I’m getting old….had to make a noise call last night on the idiot to the south of me who played the same damn song for an hour and a half last night….what the hell is the attraction in that? I really do think the people up here are just the most selfish assholes there are in the world….I’m so damn tired of the health problems I’m having that I just want to let them have me and get it over with….have three appointments next week and  one of them is a zoom call and with my antiquated computer, I’m not sure if that is going to work…why the heck can’t they just call me? Not much to do today….I am so tired that all I want to do is go back to bed…..need to start paying my online bills today and that even seems to be too much….okay, I need more coffee and that should help…more later..

Well…the bike has been giving me problems for the past week or so with the rear shifter seeming to lose it’s adjustment every day…I thought it might be the shift cable so I changed that out and worked on trying to adjust it for an hour and a half and remembered that I had this same problem with my first bike when the shifter wore out at about 12,000 miles…and this shifter had 27, 000 miles on it so I bit the bullet and changed it out for the new one that was on the black bike…what a pain in the butt…worked on that thing for 3 1/2 hours but I think I finally have it adjusted and it works for tomorrow’s rides…but damn that was a hell of a lot of work and I’m not sure if I’ll ever get my hands clean…I need some rest right now and some more water…it will take days to get everything cleaned up but that is going to wait til later or tomorrow….what a day…

Well…damn, how does it go from 84 degrees to cold enough that the heat comes on? The weather has been weird out here and so damn dry that even the trees are looking wilted…slept okay last night but I am so damn worn out from all of the health crap that all I want is a day off to not think about it….just got an alert on my bottom banner that says: Air; poor…and I guess that means that the heat and lack of wind is going to let the air pollution get pretty bad later today….didn’t get much done yesterday but I am going to cook today…at least for one meal…going to make some catfish and fries in the air fryer and use the leftover burger for the second meal….and tomorrow I’ll grill some pork steaks that I thawed…and I’ll make some potato salad after I get some sweet pickles on the grocery run…the problem is I can’t taste a damn thing…what’s the point of eating?  Not much to do today…just going to get on the bike in a minute to get the first ride in…crap…the weather widget just changed to “record high” and I wonder if I should drag the AC unit out of the basement? Probably not…don’t mind the heat…more later…
