Well…reached the first milestone on the new bike when the odo turned over to 1,000 miles today….this same milestone took me almost a year on the Motobecane but I’ve only had the new one for 3 months so that’s a pretty good pace…with the chain skipping having fixed itself, and finally getting settled on it, it is so much fun to ride that I think I’m going to start doing morning and afternoon runs to double up…but, a big part of that is just the boredom that permeates my days…need to find something more to do that doesn’t cost much…well, I can afford to do a few things but none of them are too interesting so I guess that all works out….

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run…spent almost 80 bucks and that opened my eyes a little since I really didn’t get anything out of the ordinary…I did get 4 ears of corn for 50 cents so that was cool…slept okay last night and didn’t get up until 6:35 so that put me a little late for everything this morning….but, I really don’t have much to do but ride the bike today so I guess that’s okay….I’ve left the battery in the car connected for the past week and it has started every time so maybe it’s fixed itself? We’ll see Sunday since I won’t be driving it again until then….I do have to take some ibuprofen before the bike ride today…I am a little sore everywhere and I think that might help to prevent it getting worse…not much to do today…going to make an olive burger for lunch and then I have to clean the fridge but that is about it….more later….

Well…woke up early today but I’m not sure if 6 is early anymore…slept okay last night and I am just easing into the day with coffee and a little old school tv….finally ate enough yesterday…I think….my stomach has been good so far and I hope it continues…I am tired of heartburn….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday and the fog is pretty thick right now…I hope it stays until I can get on the bike in a little while…I’m not too motivated to get out right now and I hope the coffee helps with that…didn’t get anything done yesterday but really didn’t have anything to do….I think I’ll clean the fridge today if I can get moving but I need more coffee and to read the news some first,,,,,more later….

Well…when I was out on the bike this morning I realized I haven’t done a trail update in quite a while so I think I’ll do one of those today….I am a little irritated that my uphill sprint trail is still shut down and it will be for the rest of the summer with the rebuild of Wing st. going on until then….and then today they ripped out the sidewalk that I was using to go around it to put a new road in for a new subdivision on 60th…and that puts me out on 60th street for a couple of hundred yards and I really don’t like being out in the traffic…especially when I get out early and have the 8 am traffic to deal with….other than that it was a nice ride today in the fog and mist but I got back here soaked and with a bike that looks almost camouflaged with all of the leaves and dirt that are stuck to it…will probably wash it here in a minute since it is going to be dry the rest of the week….I wonder why the tiny bunnies are not out yet….I did have an adult one pace me down the trail for a hundred yards today and that was a little strange…they normally dive into the weeds as soon as possible but this one just kept running….and all I could think of was “run Forrest, run”……

Well…running on time today and I even slept in until 6:35…yeah, that last part was a joke….my stomach has been giving me fits that past couple of weeks and I’m not sure what the heck is going on…it has been a long time since it has been like this and it is really annoying…had a nice ride out and back to pool even in the rain…but it rained so hard that there were huge puddles that were pitching the car around when I hit them….oh, and I lost at pool but it was  a championship game so that was cool….didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I do have a couple of things to do today and I may clean some, too….or, I may not since this place is not too messy…I do have to cook today and I am going to make some fish that I have marinated overnight…and then try to use up the rest of the pork shoulder later….more later….

Well…it’s a little after seven and I’m having a hard time getting started…again…I did sleep okay last night but just feel a little off today…thought I had a cold or something yesterday but now I think it’s just allergies…the pollen count from trees is extremely high right now and I’m feeling it…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t need to…today will be the same with pool this afternoon and not being too motivated…I do need to get going soon with rain coming in if I want to get the bike ride in today…but I also want to just sit here and have coffee right now…haven’t disconnected the battery in the car for almost a week now and it has been starting okay so I wonder if it fixed itself…probably not…just have driven it every day this week….more later….

Well….almost forgot to come here and do this again today and it’s funny that it is always Sunday that it happens….hmmmm…slept okay last night but I feel a little slow today so I am just easing into it…had a nice bike ride yesterday but it was raining and misty so I was covered with dirt and leaves when I got back here…I think there was a quarter of an inch of dirt in the bottom of the shower when I got done…and the bike looks like crap again so I think I may have to wash it later today…and I am waiting to get out until the temp comes up a little to get out today…it looks like rain so I may have to wait until later in the day to go out….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I may do something today…cleaning, probably but I’m not sure….don’t have a lot else to do with getting the laundry done yesterday and leftovers to eat….more later…

Well….up at 6 again this morning and I wonder why I can never sleep in…slept okay last night but I would like some dreams for a change…and I don’t feel that badly today so I guess I’ll take it…had a great bike ride yesterday and went as hard as I could the whole 15 miles and that felt good…but, it looks like I’m going to have to wait to get out today with it raining right now and for the next few hours…but that will have to wait until Man U plays in the final of the FA cup at noon….and that will be the last Man U match of the year and that is a little disappointing….oh, well….I did make a pork shoulder roast yesterday and it came out so good I think I’ll have to remember how I did it….very tender and flavorful….not much to do today…just some cleaning that I didn’t do yesterday….more later….

Well…I hate it when Windows does an update on my computer….it changes things and the computer works differently…and it took almost two hours last night…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today with not being good last night…so, I am easing into the day…just put a pork shoulder in the oven at high heat to brown it some before I take the heat down and cover it for slow cooking the rest of the day….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I don’t know how much I’ll do today….just have no motivation right now so I guess I’ll just wait to see how the day unfolds….I did remember to put the heat on last night so I didn’t freeze overnight and it is comfortable in here right now….not much to do today….just need to get out on the bike but the wind is blowing some so it will be a little work….but, that’s okay….more later….

Well…running exactly on time today and it is funny that I always get here on Thursday around 7:50…but it was slow driver day today with everyone being 15 below the speed limit and that is just damn irritating…and had to do the two store two step again today…but, it’s a nice day and I have time so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much…slept a little iffy last night with forgetting to put the heat on and it got down to 60 before I realized it…can shut it off again this morning with the temp coming up pretty fast…didn’t do much yesterday but I do need to clean the fridge today…it’s almost empty so it’s a good time to do it….I did get some ribs and a Boston shoulder roast for cheap…they were on sale and then 20% off on top of that…got an 8 pound roast for under 8 bucks so that was cool….not sure how I’m going to cook it but I couldn’t pass it up for that price…not much to do today…can get on the bike as soon as I have my coffee and that makes it spring to me…more later….
