Well…it’s another Friday and most people are looking forward to their weekend…but, they don’t mean a lot to me anymore since every day is a weekend…and that is a shame, really….oh, well….I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday and I am really hoping the lube I got for the bike gets rid of the damn squeak….it is a pretty cool lube made by wd…a silicone that goes on wet but then dries and just leaves the lube behind…don’t really have a lot of hope it will work but you have to love the technology….it looks like the really hot weather is going to be gone for a few days and I don’t mind that at all….it has been a trial with it being so darn hot for so long…and I do need to get off the bike for a day…it has been almost 120 days without a day off and my legs are getting really flat….I have the normal stuff to do today and it will be nice to get out of here for a while….more later…okay…not sure if this new format is working or not..it is pool day but that will be about it….cleaned a lot yesterday and burned my thumb on the damn burner grates on the stovetop…just a little blister….more later….

Well…had a pretty good day yesterday and got a bunch of stuff done…but, I’m running late again this morning with doing the grocery run….am going to try to make some different food over the next few days…got some stir fry for today and I am going to run the slow cooker Saturday with some chicken, mushrooms, potatoes and carrots…going to use a red pasta sauce for the liquid and see how that comes out….did it last time with mushroom soup and didn’t like it much…want something with more bite in the flavors so I think I’ll over garlic it….have had a pain down my left leg for the past few days and I think it’s nerve impingement again since my back sounds like a coffee can full of rocks….going to take something for it before I get out today to see if it helps…more annoying than anything but it hurt on the bike so that needs to be addressed….I do have stuff to do today…going to wash the car after I finish the coffee and then the regular stuff…the bike is still irritating then hell out of me but at least it still rides…more later…

Well…I am going to change things up today since my daily posts have become pretty repetitive and boring…..I am pretty happy that there hasn’t been much pain lately…I did have some cramps in my thighs this morning and that is a new one….it is a beautiful day out there and I am going to appreciate it…I am pretty excited that the Olympics are starting today with the US women’s soccer team playing later this aft and I will be watching that…might even watch some of the earlier games but I’m not sure…have been really bored with the food I have been eating lately and I think I need to add some spice to it so I’ll eat enough again…just have a craving for big loads of spices so I think I’ll get out the cookbooks again and try for something new…going to be just another day today but I do have to clean….and do laundry….might have to put the air on later with it predicted to be in the 90’s today and I am tired of being damp all the time…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but feel like my allergies are really kicking up an I have been coughing and sneezing all morning….think I’ll take something for then before I get on the bike…and some ibuprofen to keep the cramps at bay….I am curious how my legs are going to take the second day of only one meal…not sure why I went back to one but I just am having a problem eating…nothing appeals to me right now and I think it may be the heat….I was going to go to the beach today but realized it was the coast guard festival at GH and that makes it way too busy for me…so, I’ll do that next week…not much to do today…going back to the normal routine today since I really don’t have much to do except clean the kitchen…more later….

Well….I was going to do one on the meltdown that Trump had over the weekend but I think I’m becoming numb to the idiocy…so, let’s talk about something else. Out on the trail, even though I’m usually kind of zoned out on the bike, I’ve noticed that there are no grasshoppers this year. Once I noticed this a couple of weeks ago, I started counting and I have only seen 5 of them in two weeks…and, if you’ve been a long time reader, you’ve read that there are normally clouds of them in a couple of parts of the trail that coat my t-shirt as I ride by….I just wonder where they went…maybe it’s the hot and dry weather? Who knows? Have never seen so few and I’ve been around a long time. Just a curious thing….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I have an errand to run right now so I’ll have to come back to this in a few minutes…..okay…so it was more than a few minutes…one errand ran into a couple more and I just got back here….I did ride the bike, too, so that took some time…I did get the squeak out of the bike after using a half can of WD-40 yesterday and I just hope it lasts a few days….didn’t really get much done yesterday even though I said a few things so I will have to do better today…still no pain and that is getting more confusing as the days go by…I’m old…it should hurt…oh, well….not much to do today…have everything done I wanted to do except for a few things around here so that will be the goal today…and to watch the race that was rained out yesterday…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool…slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning…not sore anywhere again and that is really unusual…but, I’ll take it…the damn bike is squeaking again so I slathered it in grease to see if I can fix it…got almost 9 miles in yesterday before it started yesterday but it bugs the crap out of me when it teases me with being fixed….oh, well….this one is going to be short for now since the F1 race is starting in a minute…more later….

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool….made some cash so that was cool, too….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning…not too much pain today but I am going to take something before I get on the bike…was really hoping for an entire day of rain today so I could justify staying off the bike but no such luck…didn’t get anything done yesterday with all of the traveling so I will have to get the kitchen done today…and I have other work to do too so this aft will be a little busy….it is nice that it is cooler today…I am getting tired of the relentless heat but I guess that comes back next week….not much to do today….need more coffee and going to watch F1 qualifying then on the bike….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….went out to have a few with G last night and that set me on the path to feeling pretty crappy this morning…so I do….slept okay last night and I have no pain this morning and that is still confusing the heck out of me….I hope I have gotten the squeak out of the bike…went out and got some new grease and greased the heck out of the swingarm…..I am really tired of dousing it with water all through the ride….going to get out an try it here in a few minutes after I have the second cup of coffee….not much to to today…pool…maybe…and then I have an errand to run…going to make a little cash so that will be cool….more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept okay last night but feel a little off this morning…hope the bike ride will fix that….had a nice lunch with T with a lot of laughs and that made it a nice afternoon….didn’t get anything else done but I will try to do better today since the kitchen needs lots of work….going to try no painkillers on the bike today since I don’t really hurt anywhere today and I kind of want to know where the pain is before I mask it….had the top down on the car on the way out to get groceries today…hmmmm….I kind of do that every thurs….oh, well…not much to do today…just the bike ride and then cleaning…need to figure out the day to go to the beach and I think that will be next week….more later….
