February 25th

Well….it was an okay day and I spent some of it prepping for the snow that came all day….I was able to get the car out this morning but the heavy, wet snow was hard to push and I almost got stuck in the FF parking lot…the snow was so heavy that the plows broke and left huge pile in all of the roads that I had to try to avoid…was plowing snow with the front and bottom of the car all the way and had to keep the momentum up to get back here…hope this is the last one….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today with the fourth day of being good under my belt…I could get used to this….got the grocery run in yesterday so I wouldn’t have to go out today and that now looks like a pretty good idea….my back is still good today and I think I’ll stop reporting on it since it’s 5 days now it hasn’t really hurt….not much to do today…going to just veg it out around here and do some cooking and cleaning but that is about it…more later….

February 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept okay and feel okay today since I was good for another day and today will be the same…I am sitting here waiting for snowmageddon to happen today and even moved the grocery run up a day to make sure I don’t have to go out if it does get as bad as forecast….hope this is the one last blast for this winter….my back is still holding up with just a little pain and I hope that continues…just a little stiff and creaky but I can live with that….have been feeling better with being on the bike almost every day but the wind is blowing too hard already to go out today…so, I’ll just work out and then on to work around here….not much to do today…T is going in for some dental implants to replace a couple of teeth and she will be in my thoughts….and I should do some cleaning after I get my other work done…more later….

February 23rd

Well…running early today since I have a ton of stuff to do today…and I have already started that by fixing the shifter on the bike…the pivot pins came loose again so I had to put them back in place and try to drift the holes over so they will stay put….slept okay last night and feel pretty good today with being good…and that will help with getting things done today….my back is on the 4th day of no pain and it is just so nice being able to get up and down without thinking about it…I wonder if it’s the fact that I’m back on the bike….but today looks like the last day for a week or so with the snow that is coming tomorrow…might be able to get out if I go early tomorrow, though…not much to do today…I have errands to run this morning and then again this aft…going to make a little cash and spend a little today so I guess it works out…more later….

February 22nd

Well…..have lost the cursor here so I have to restart the computer…okay…back now….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….just kind vegged it out all day and I am a little guilty about that but I’ll live through it…slept okay and feel a little slow today so I am hoping the coffee starts to work soon….the one good thing is my back doesn’t hurt at all today so it looks like this pain episode is over…finally….took a couple of months but I am happy that it didn’t end up permanent….the bike ride yesterday was brutal with just no energy in my legs and I am hoping I got enough fuel in yesterday so that won’t happen again today…but, I’m not sure about that….it will be a full thermasuit day on the bike since it is back to being cold again but I’m okay with that…it is February in Michigan after all….not much to do today….and that is the truth…might run an errand but that will be about it…more later…

February 21st

Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday…how many times have you heard me say that? Had a three hour lunch with T that I am still smiling about and had the chance to put the top down on the car and do some cruising around to get a few things done…even got sunburned on my face that I have had to use aloe on but today looks a lot colder so it will be full thermasuit on the bike today….slept okay last night but no dreams and that is normal….my back is not hurting at all today so that is a plus but the allergies are flaring again and that is not fun this early in the year…didn’t get a lot done other than lunch yesterday but that is okay…will try to get some cleaning done today since this place needs it…not much to do today…going to just veg it out some and clean a little…and Daytona is on later so that will be the first napcar race of the year and I will nap some during it…more later….

February 20th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but no pool…so I didn’t win or lose….slept okay last night but woke up without my earplugs so I must have tossed and turned like crazy…oh, and I made some cash yesterday, too, so that was cool….I did get a bike ride in before the wind got crazy but it was still blowing around 25 when I went out…that made the southbound legs just brutal and I hope today will be better…it looks like it’s blowing about 15 or so so it will be better when I go out in a few minutes….I did get out to have a couple with K and J last night and that was a nice surprise….but, it gave me a head start that I am paying for today….didn’t win the mega last night so I am disappointed in that…but, no one else did either so I still have hope….not much to do today…might have lunch with T but that is in pencil so I might not..then back here for the race this aft and maybe some cleaning but probably not….more later…

February 19th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…slept okay and had some weird dreams that had T in them and that doesn’t happen very often….my back feels okay today but my allergies have gone overboard and I’m coughing again and that is not fun…I did get out to have a couple with G and there were no arguments so that was cool, too…but that really wore me out and I am feeling it today….feel a little slow this morning so the bike ride will have to wait until after I run an errand at 10….it looks like it will be warm enough to put the top down on the way out to shoot pool today if it’s not raining and I am looking forward to that….not much to do today…pool, of course, and I am making a little cash this morning with my errand…and I’m sure I won’t do anything when I get back here so that will have to wait until tomorrow…more later….

February 18th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…and, I got a 6 mile bike ride in but had to stop when I got the trails in the woods that were just too icy to ride on…slept okay last night and I was good…again…so I feel pretty good today and will accomplish a lot….I hope….had to do some late night laundry last night when I found my favorite travel bag had gotten a case of the molds and I wanted to see if it could be recovered…worked out okay but I forgot I had tissues in one of the pockets that left it coated in a shredded mess…another wash and it was okay…I did get to see the latest “Mission Impossible” movie last night and it was pretty good….and my son added a feature to his server that lets me order any movie or tv show I want…that could get dangerous and use a few more terabytes of memory…have to try to restrain myself…not much to do today…that’s not true…already have the grocery run in and now I have to get a bunch of stuff done before Man U comes on at 1…then out with G for a couple later and then races and Wings on tonight….gonna need a rest tomorrow morning….more later…

February 17th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got some stuff done around here so that is cool….and my lungs seem to be getting better with much less coughing along with tolerable pain in my back so maybe it was a good day…slept okay last night with some weird dreams that I just won’t relay here since they were really odd…even though I got some stuff done yesterday, I need to continue that today and do the workout I skipped yesterday…wanted to get the stuff done around here and I am getting bored with working out…can’t wait til the trails clear again and I can get out on the bike…I have been doing better on my weight this winter but the calorie restriction has taken away some energy when I go overboard….it has been a good winter so far….just read that we have had half the normal snow for this time of the year…only 30 inĀ  when we normally have 60 by now….and, I’m okay with that….not much to do today…going to clean a little and maybe run some errands but that is about it…more later….

February 16th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with feeling kind of crappy, I didn’t get much done….one good thing is that my back didn’t hurt walking into the store to get the papers this morning…that hasn’t happened in a long time and I am happy that it has….slept okay last night…no, that’s not really true…slept pretty crappy since I decided to not take an antihistamine so I could breathe just to see where I am…still need it so tonight will be different…and I was good last night so that might have had something to do with it…I do have work to do around here today but I may put that off until tomorrow….the kitchen still needs work and I do need to do some meal planning for later in the week…just way too much chicken in the freezer…not much to do today….still feel a little slow so whatever I do, it will be in low and slow mode….maybe I’ll work on some new music…more later…

Oh, one last thing…a belated happy birthday to Peter Gabriel who turned 66 last week….
