Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and the drive out and back was fun but the 3 beers were hitting me pretty hard and I’m not sure what that was about other than I didn’t eat much yesterday…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today…tried to get the pedal off the bike and it was a no go….might have to take the arm off and heat it but I’m not too worried about it since the pedal is still good…my mp-3 player gave me a scare this morning when it wouldn’t work going out to get the papers….must have left it on when I got home yesterday aft and ran the battery completely dead…it is charging now and that takes a load off….it is going to be a cool race day today with the 24 hours of LeMans, and F1 this morning…so, I am going to wait to get on the bike until later or I may even take the day off…not sure yet….more later….oh, forgot to do the not much to do today…going to clean a little and make an omelet for lunch…remembered to get the green pepper and cheese this morning so I can make a good one….now, more later…

Well…running a little early today since I want to see the F1 practice at 9 and need to get the bike ride in before then…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…and today looks much the same…but I am going to make some cash today so that will be cool….feel okay today but shouldn’t…it was a cocktail night last night and I stayed up late for me….okay…need to get going…not much to do today…pool later but busy this morning so I will end here and come back later when I have time…not even going to have my second cup of coffee until I get back….more later….

Well…I am amazed how much difference it makes to the bike just replacing a cracked pedal that flexed a bunch….now my right foot stays on the pedal without having to stress my hip at all…and the pain is almost gone…but, that’s not what this is about…a few days back, as I was in the fastest downhill that has a left-right-left fast curve in it, the damnedest thing happened…just in front of me, three bunnies on each side of the trail ran out and crossed right in front of me and then disappeared into the brush…now, I’m sure they didn’t practice that move but it couldn’t have been better synchronized if they did…I laughed my butt off for the rest of the ride at that sight…oh, one more thing…this morning as I was just starting my ride, a groundhog ran out onto the trail, between my wheels, and I whacked him with my right pedal, sending him rolling down the trail…I looked back to see if he was hurt and he just sat up, shook his head, and then took off into the brush….not sure why these animals have such a deathwish, or maybe they are just having fun? Who knows?  Still funny….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…finally…and have a spider free bathroom, for today anyway…slept normally and crappy but feel okay today…it feels nice to have a cool breeze blowing through here this morning but it is going to be hot over the weekend…might even have to put the air on to sleep….I did get the broken pedal replaced on the bike but can’t get the left hand threaded one off…just don’t have enough leverage…so, Tom…I need a 5/8 open ended wrench and a piece of pipe or something for a cheater bar…I’ll e-mail later….no pain today but I did get some more ibuprofen this morning and I may try that before the bike just to keep the cramps out of my calves….not much to do today….there is soccer on in a minute and I want to see England play so the bike ride will be put back for a while unless the game is not interesting…more later……

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…tried to get the pedals off the bike and luckily, I got the broken one loose…but, the other one won’t come off so I am soaking it in penetrating oil…going to go out in a while and buy and new set so I can get out on the bike when it quits raining…slept okay, kinda, last night and feel okay today with being good for a second day and I will do that again tonight….did toss and turn all night and I wonder it it is time to try new things to make my sleep better….probably would be a good idea….not really sore today anywhere but my hands that I abused trying to get the pedals off so the bike ride will be okay…not much to do today…need to do some work around here and then clean a little later….started the bathroom yesterday but then soccer came on and I vegged it out the rest of the day….more later…..

Well…it was a busy day yesterday but I made some cash so that was cool…had stuff going on from 8 until almost 4 so the day went by pretty fast…and I got a lot of stuff done that I needed to which will make today a little easier…slept okay last night but had some kind of bug wake me up during the night…need to spray again to keep them out of here…had some dreams that I don’t remember but maybe tonight I will…I have been feeling kind of old lately with all of the aches and pains but then I remembered that I’ve always felt that way so I shouldn’t be concerned….at least my back is holding up so I’ll take that and move on….the rain I hoped for is here but it is not going to last long enough for me to stay off the bike today and rest the legs….should end just after I work out so it looks like I’ll bag the phone and go out in the wet…not much to do today…after the busy day yesterday…that is really true…the spiders are irritating me so I may get to the bathroom today…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…not really…but I do have to do this update….slept okay last night but feel a little hollow this morning and you know why….didn’t do anything yesterday but watch races all day an I think that was a good thing…made a huge ham for lunch and I’ll have leftovers for the entire week from that…not too sore today other than the normal creaks from being old…I do have to lie out in the sun today to start evening out the biker tan that is starting to look weird….have a bad case of raccoon eyes going on and that needs to be fixed….still don’t think I’m eating enough since I am at my end of summer weight already and don’t have a lot of energy…will try to fix that today but I find it’s really hard to eat more….not much to do today…need to run some errands either today or tomorrow but that is about it….more later….

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….didn’t get anything else done and today looks the same….there are 3 races on this aft so I will be riding the couch after noon…slept okay last night but back to the earplugs again but I think that helps me sleep…not too sore today…just twinges right now but I think it will get worse after I get on the bike…not sure why I should be getting this pain with almost 1K miles already…that normally happens up until 400 miles each spring so I am a little confused…oh, well…I was hoping there would be some storms today but it looks like that won’t happen….I could use it getting a little less humid around here but I like the heat on the bike….not much to do today…going to make that ham that is in the fridge but that is about it…just can’t get motivated to do anything right now….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…went out and had a couple with K, too, so that put me ahead of the night and I am feeling it today…but, the coffee is working so I am improving and almost ready to get on the bike….have been having problems with cramps in my calves lately and I’m not sure why…along with the other pains, I am feeling old lately and I don’t like it….didn’t get anything else done yesterday and I’m not sure if I’ll do anything today…the bathroom needs to be cleaned but we’ll see how I’m feeling later….I was really hoping that we’d get some storms so I could take a day off the bike but that is not going to happen so maybe I’ll just do a no sprint day and see if that helps…my legs are getting flat so I know they will need a rest soon….not much to do today….was going to make a ham but I have leftovers that need to be used so I think I’ll wait until tomorrow…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…washed the car but it is covered in dirt again this morning so I really don’t know why I bother with it….slept okay, too…but feel a little worn out today…wasn’t good last night and that is a big part of it…I think ibuprofen works better than aspirin for my pain…took two aspirin before the bike ride yesterday and it didn’t work at all…going to try ibuprofen just for an experiment today….not really that sore today, though, so it may not be a good comparison…did the grocery shopping yesterday and picked up some cheese brats by mistake…what a weird combo…not sure what I think about them yet….I’m hoping they will grow on me…only have 5 of them so I guess I can tolerate it….not much to do today….pool, of course, but that will be it…I have been hoping for a rain day so I can take a day off the bike but no luck for the next week….oh, well….more later…
