Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a little fun going out and hanging with some of the old crowd for a while…made a little cash, too, so that was also cool…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of but that is normal…I’m not really too sore today but in my forearms but that has been going on for quite a while now and I know that is from riding in the cold and is just annoying, not really too painful….didn’t get anything done yesterday with all the running around and that looks about the same today…I do need to get on the bike soon so I can be back here for the Manchester derby at 10 but it is still a little too cold to go out….don’t want to get the thermasuit out yet so I think I’ll wait for a little while…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done and today looks the same…slept okay last night and didn’t get up til 7:30 and I’m not sure how that’s happening…two days in a row of sleeping past my normal 6 o’clock is just strange to do that….it is warm outside and I will get the bike ride in in a t-shirt for the last time this year…pretty cool that it is the last part of October and I can still do that…not too sore today but I do still need to take some ibuprofen before I go out….not much to do today…C and E are coming into town so I have to meet up with them later and I have a few errands to run earlier so I will be a little busy…more later….
Two more for the B-3 count…
Well…if you’ve been here before, you’ve seen me talk about my fascination and near obsession with people who play the Hammond B-3 organ…and I’m still on that kick so here are a couple more that I just recognized lately….saw a show on AXS tv the other day with Booker T of Booker T and the MG’s and I wondered how I missed that one since the organ was their signature sound in the 60’s and 70’s. the second one that I just forgot to mention is Jimmy Peel of the Tommy Castro band…was listening to them on the ride today and it just hit me in an organ solo….so, two more to add to the count…
October 23rd
Well…running really late today since I didn’t get up until 8 this morning..that is the longest I have slept in for so many years that I can’t remember the last time…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that’s cool…but, the pool on Thursday has me totally screwed up on what day it is and I hope that will fade as the day goes on…slept okay, as you can tell, and feel okay today even though there were cocktails last night….didn’t eat enough, though, and will have to try to rectify that today…I do like being thinner than normal so that leaves me a little conflicted about trying to eat more…but I know the energy level will plummet later today without it so I have to remember that it is fuel that I need to ride the bike…don’t really hurt much this morning and I am a little confused as to why…still going to take some ibuprofen before the bike ride since I had cramps in my hands yesterday and that is no fun trying to shift the bike…not much to do today…going to cook for the first time this week and am shifting back to chicken from pork for a while since it’s been two weeks of ham and pork shoulder…and, I need to come back here for two more today since I am getting behind for the month…more later…
October 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept really crappy last night and I am worn out today…but, the coffee is working so I’ll get out on the bike in a few minutes and get the ride in…it looks like I will have to replace the shifter, too, since it has started to go wonky and only shift when it feels like it and that is really annoying….I was hoping to get to the 25K mark without a new one but if I need it, I need it so I’ll get one ordered tomorrow….don’t feel as sore today and I’m not sure what that is about…but, I did have my left tricep spasm all night long which I think has something to do with not sleeping…aargh…not much to do today…going to shoot pool today instead of tomorrow but that will be my day…more later…
October 21st
Well….it was an okay yesterday and I didn’t get a darn thing done…but, that was to plan since I took my yearly color tour out to the two parks with the top down…60 miles on two lanes was quite relaxing and I had fun…but, out at Fallasburg, I found a secluded spot with a stream running through it…stopped and left Steely Dan on the stereo just loud enough to hear it and was relaxing with a sippy cup, just sitting, and a couple of jeeps pull into this area that only had enough room for my car…and a clown car of people and dogs piled out to take photos with damn yapping dogs and screaming…ruined that part of the day but it was still fun…slept okay last night and had dreams about the Navy and aircraft carriers…which was really quite weird…was good again last night and feel okay today…hoping to get out on the bike in just a t-shirt again…took a long ride yesterday and got down to only 75 miles to get to 25K…later in the week, I hope…more later….
October 20th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…okay, I got a little done but not much..slept okay last night and had dreams about grocery stores…yep, weird, but I think there was a logic to it at the time….I did get a nice bike ride in but after turning on the southward leg, the wind pick up to 25-35 mph which made it slow going since I could barely keep moving in the big ones…still nice to be out on the bike…and today will be the last day in just a t-shirt since it is already 57 outside and that is the cutoff….feel pretty good this morning after being good last night and I will continue that most of the week….I think I have lost the weight I gained when the bike was down and that feels good…..not much to do today…going to do the normal morning but this aft will be a color tour with it nearing 70 for a high and the leaves falling like crazy after the freeze…oh, my daughter is out of the hospital and with nothing that would explain the chest pains…on to the cardiologist…more later….
October 19th
Well…running a little late today and I’m not sure why that would be…it’s just a normal morning with nothing different about it…slept okay last night and even had a few dreams so that is better but I really have no hope it will continue…didn’t get much done yesterday but I didn’t have much planned so I can live with that….didn’t even have to cook with the pork shoulder leftovers and I think I miss that…Sundays are supposed to be for cooking…I did get out on the bike and had a nice ride but it was cold again and I had to wear gloves…the ones I have have holes in them so I may need to make a trip out today to get a new pair….I do need to put a pair in the car so I’ll have them for winter….not as sore this morning and it may have been the bug that was causing it….at least I hope the full body pain is not a normal thing that is going to go on…not much to do today…still feeling a little slow today but will get back to the workout and bike ride…I do need to make the annual color tour in the Miata and this week looks like a good one with it being almost 70 tomorrow….more later…
Just some stuff…
Well…sitting here watching the Lions stink again and thought I’d come back here and do one of these so I don’t get farther behind….it is nice to have the bike back working so I can ride again but I made a big mistake by eating before I went out…was just so uncomfortable for the entire ride that I won’t do that again…I have been sore as heck the past few days and I’m not sure where that is coming from…even my back hurts again today and that was bad on the bike…oh, well…I am going to do a sports one about the bad, bad teams that I follow that have just left me shaking my head…not sure what else….okay, going back to the couch for now and will be back later for more…
October 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday if a little disappointing for my sports teams…but, I’ll get to that later…did get some distressing news that my daughter is in the hospital after having chest pains in the middle of a half marathon again…doing lots of tests today and should know something later in the day….slept okay last night be still have that damn bug that I’ve had for a while now…still feel warm and have been coughing like crazy for a couple of days now…I was wondering why I didn’t have any energy and now I know…should probably take it easy today and try to feel better but I do need to take a ride on the bike now that it’s fixed…but, it’s way too cold right now…even had frost on the car when I went out for the paper this morning….not much to do today…just going to watch more sports and maybe a little cleaning…or maybe not….more later…
