Well….running a little early today and I feel quite a bit better…not sure why I felt so crappy yesterday but I think it was from not eating enough…slept okay last night and I am waiting for the coffee to work and I hope that’s soon since I have a bunch of stuff to do this morning…need to wash the car before I work out and ride the bike since it is covered in dust from the lot cleaning….didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft but that’s okay….I really don’t have a lot to do around here…the bike is still confusing me…two days now without a skip and I took all of the adjustment back out…will have to think about that a bit but I’ll take it…the weather is going to be gorgeous the next few days with our first 80 degree day this year and I can’t wait to air this place out….it will probably make my allergies worse but I can live with that…more later….

Well…almost forgot to come here for this one with the F1 race just getting ready to start….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today…not really crappy but just slow…and I am going to ease into the day with coffee…..and more coffee….my back has been sore for a day now and I hope I can figure out how to crack it today….I may have to take a day off the bike soon to let my legs heal up some since they have been really sore the past few days….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same…just can’t get motivated to do much lately…..the bike is still confusing me with the skipping and the adjustments not doing much…it started with the start of the ride yesterday but then stopped after I adjusted it but then I took the entire adjustment out and it still didn’t skip…weird….not much to do today…just going to veg out the morning and have more coffee….more later….

Well….I think I’m about on time today with soccer just starting…and I slept okay last night but feel so slow today that this one is going to be a struggle…..still feel a little depressed and I’m not sure how long that will last….hope it’s not too much longer since I don’t like it much….going to have to wait for quite a while to get out on the bike today with it being in the low 30’s right now and the warm up is going to be slow…will probably have to wait until the aft….don’t have a lot to do today but cook…going to try a new set of spices for the veggies today since I am bored with the same old same old…and I just got some oregano that I have been out of for some time….not much to do today….just going to watch some soccer and have some coffee right now….and try to feel better….more later….

Well…have been sitting here for a while trying to come up with a pertinent topic today and nothing is grabbing me yet so I thought I’d just do one on anything that pops into my head…started to have problems with the bike again today out of nowhere…had two days of not one skip and then it just started again today…and this time I hadn’t done anything to it…no adjustments at all…tried the same adjustment again and it seems to have helped since it didn’t skip at all when I took it out to go to the bank and get my powerball tickets for tomorrow…it was a little strange going to the atm on the bike…normally when I’m in the car, I have to stretch because the car is so low…but, on the bike I had to stoop to be able to have the buttons line up with the screen….but, it still worked so that was cool….might be going out to have a couple with T later if her sched allows it…that would be a good start to the weekend….even though every day is like a weekend to me now….and it is warm enough to put the top down over and back…..not as depressed now as when yesterday started…hope it continues….

Well…have been sitting here staring at the screen trying to figure out how to start this one….it should be pretty easy after doing more than 6,000 of these but it’s not…I did sleep okay last night but have had this malaise for the past few days that I think may be depression again and I am not looking forward to that…I did get a double in on the bike yesterday and I was planning on trying that again today but my left leg is just too sore for that…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but I am going to try to clean a little today since I tracked mud in on the new shoes and it is all over the carpet….I need to get out sometime to look for some new shoes with the old ones worn out…but not until next week…just don’t feel like doing that right now….more later….

Well…kind of on time for a Thursday and that might get the day started right….slept okay last night but feel a little worn out today so I’m going to ease into the day until the coffee starts to work…I’m not sure what is going on but the idiot people on the road this morning have me shaking my head…running stop signs and almost backing into me in the lot as I was leaving for the grocery run…but, I survived it with no damage so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much….I did have to clean up a little around here yesterday with the guys coming to do the furnace service today….just stuff that I needed to do but couldn’t get motivated to do….had a good ride yesterday but it was a little cold when I went out…and I’ll have to wait to get out today with the temp in the 30’s….not much to do today…just going to take it easy until the coffee works then I may clean a little more…who knows?

Well…it’s another early morning today with getting up for the first time at 4:25 and then for good at 6….feel a little run down today with the allergies flaring last night that left me with a sore throat today…hope that’s all it is but I guess if it’s a bug, I don’t have to go anywhere…I am coughing, too, but that seems normal every morning for the past week or so….I am a little sore since I went hard on the bike with it fixed and my legs are feeling it this morning….think I’ll take something for it before I get to working out…and, I’ll be able to get on the bike as soon as I finish that with it being almost 50 right now….I did get a few things done yesterday and have a few more to do today…have to run an errand to Aldi’s to get some chicken thighs and I can’t wait to try the legs that I have been marinating over night…that will be for lunch today….more later….

Well…have been having some problems with the new bike that started yesterday…the chain was skipping in the top 3 gears and I spent a couple of hours yesterday changing out the rear gears and lubing everything up but nothing worked…and it irritated me so much I just went on and on about it when we were out shooting pool yesterday…and was going to send a nastygram to the company and bitch to them about it since the bike only has 600 miles on it….but, when I got up this morning, I knew exactly what was wrong with it….as a little background, with a new bike you normally have to make some fine adjustments to the shifters so they are zeroed in…and yesterday, I had made a quarter turn towards the downshift side just to see if it could be any better and completely forgot that I had done it…and the chain didn’t start to skip until a few miles down the trail so I didn’t connect the two…so, this morning I took the adjustment out and no skips at all in 15 miles….the bike was trying to shift down a gear when it was skipping….and I am an idiot for not remembering that I made that adjustment…I guess the bright side is that the chain and gears needed to be lubed up and that is done now….geez….

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday and that is kind of normal for pool days….and, I think I won, but I haven’t been keeping track of that as much as I used to…slept okay last night but I think I got sunburned with the top down ride out and back to pool yesterday….at least my face looks red and it feels kind of tight….might have to use some aloe later….have been having some trouble with the bike the past couple of days and I think I may have figured it out….we’ll see later when I get out…and I can go any time since it is already over 50…but, I need to work out and have some coffee first….I do need to get some stuff done around here today but easing into it seems to be the right thing to do right now….more later….

Well…running on time today and I’m not sure why….slept okay last night but was up really early…it’s odd that it is now light enough to wander around here without the lights on in the morning…have been thinking about going into shorts for the year today and that would be about the normal time for me….it is going to be about 70 today and that will mean a top down run out and back to pool today…and, I have to go to the bank this morning to deposit my fed check….I did get another crack in my right heel and it hurts like crazy when I walk so I’ll have to figure out something to do about it…not sure what but maybe I’ll check on the internet…not much to do today….not going to do much around here today and I don’t need to….more later….
