Well…yep, going to cheat a little to see if I can make it to the goal for the month so bear with me….have had a good year on the bike and I am close to reaching the goal of 3K miles for the year…and, this morning I noticed that I have only 75 more miles to go…that should be easy with a month to do it in if the weather cooperates…and that leaves my plan in place to ride this bike another thousand miles to get to 30K on this one before I retire it….not bad for an old guy…and an old bike….

Well….woke up this morning sore again and I just can’t believe it’s from working on the car yesterday…..oh, well….feeling worn out again and I think I just need to eat better…only about 900 cals yesterday but nothing appeals to me right now so that’s probably the best I can do….even got tired of turkey this year and that never happens….maybe I should get a pizza or something today? Or some fast food? I do have some stuff to do around here today…need to put the papers out for the last time and clean the bathroom if I can get motivated…more later…..

Well….the day didn’t start out too well but it has gotten better…I did get under the car and couldn’t find what is making the noise so I’m not sure how to go forward on that….darn….but, I did get out on the bike in shorts and no gloves and this one just has to be the last day like that….and I got the headlight bulb changed out with it being so nice outside…it is almost 60 right now and I knew I had to take advantage of that…I did just notice that I have the front tires rotating the wrong way and never noticed it all summer…oh, well…putting the snowies on in the next week or so so that won’t matter….I wonder how I didn’t look at the rotation arrow when I put them on in the spring? It looks like I may not make the goal this month since I would have to do 7 tomorrow and that is not going to happen…I have an excuse so I don’t feel too bad about it….

Well…running late again today…just can’t get started…again…and I’m not sure what that is about…..can’t even think too well today and that could be a problem….maybe it’s not having coffee until now…this whole news blackout thing is still screwing up my mornings…I would normally get the papers and have my coffee by 7:30 but without the papers…I just don’t get going….didn’t even get out on the bike yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it…and that is the problem…I think my guilt system is out of whack…and that usually keeps things in check…oh, well…..not much to do today…haven’t said that in a while…I do have to work on the car here in a few but that is about it….more later…

Well…yep, stole that one from an old country song but it is such a good descriptor of my day today that I just had to use it…was paralyzed all day today an just couldn’t get moving at all and I have leftover cocktail material to use tonight so it will be a waste, too…not sure what is going on but I am sure I don’t like it….still haven’t even looked at the car to see what is wrong with it and really don’t care…well…that’s not true….but, whatever it is is going to cost money that I don’t want to spend right now….a conundrum to be sure but tomorrow will be another day and warmer so I will get under it and take a look….not sure if I can survive another day like today…yeah…there is some hyperbole in that but the guilts from this one are killer….

Well…finding it almost impossible to get started this morning…I think part of it is how gloomy it’s been lately…can’t remember the last time I saw the sun and that doesn’t help my mood any….I did get a bike ride in yesterday but that was just about it…and today looks the same with it raining already so I probably won’t get on the bike today….I am going to try to clean some but not for a while…Man U stunk up the place yesterday and that didn’t help and there was really not too much else to watch….I don’t hurt today so I guess I should be thankful for that….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that right now and just veg for a while….more later….

Well…another disappointing day yesterday with Michigan losing in OT and all the rest of the things that are happening….started coughing again and I wonder if it’s still that bug I had last weekend….I did get a bike ride in yesterday and it was a pretty good one…and I am going to have to go out early today with Man U playing at 11:30 so I think I may have to double glove it with my hands freezing like crazy….but, my back doesn’t hurt today so maybe I’m past that….someone won the 400 million in the powerball last night so that can keep my hopes up for another day or so…..okay, need to get the coffee and hit the couch for the last race of the year…more later….

Well….note sure if I like these after holiday days…they seem to be a license to be lazy and just veg….oh.well….don’t really have a lot to do anyway so maybe I can get past the guilt today…didn’t shoot pool yesterday since Tom is still sick and I think I still have a little bit of the bug with coughing all morning but I still feel okay…didn’t get out on the bike yesterday with it raining most of the day and I just couldn’t muster up the energy to get out in the cold….might be able to get out today after F1 qualifying but it will have to be right after since I want to watch Michigan/Ohio State at noon…..might even get the gear on for that one…..I do have to get under the car to see what is going on but I took it out this morning and it’s not as bad as it had ballooned in my mind so there really is no sense of urgency…..next week will be fine….need coffee and the couch right now so I’ll end here…more later….

Well…it was a slow, relaxing day yesterday and didn’t do anything but cook and watch sports…the turkey came out great again but I’m not sure I’m going to do one next year…just can’t see the point anymore….there was good sports news with the Lions and Man U winning and the Lions doing it on the last play of the game again…it would be nice if they would win big for once….I did get a bike ride in in shorts yesterday but today will be half thermasuit if I go out at all…it’s raining right now so I’m not sure if I’ll get the chance….not too sore today and I feel okay so it might be a good one to get out…just not too motivated right now so I think I’ll get more coffee and watch F1 practice…more later…

Well…damn, broke something under the car yesterday when I went out to meet K for a couple….sounds like a pipe hanger or a motor mount since something bangs when I start it….oh, well…car still drives fine so I’m not going to worry about it today…had a nice lunch with T yesterday that lasted quite a while and had a lot of laughs in it…but didn’t do anything else all day until I met up with K….and today is going to be just cooking and watching football…I did go out and get the 10 pound newspaper that was a waste of time and money…..never going to read one again….didn’t win the powerball last night so Saturday’s will be over 400 million….I need to win it….more later….
