Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…put an 8 in on the break so that made it a little better…slept okay but no dreams again..and that is getting redundant…..it looks like I may be able to take the day off from riding today since it is raining and looks like that will continue for a while…I can probably use a day off even though I’m not too sore today…hoping that the guilt won’t drive me to going out later but if the sun shines, I may just take a leisure ride…but, I feel a little slow today and may just sit on the couch and drink my coffee….not too much to do today…I have a pork shoulder in the oven right now at high temp to brown it and then I’m going to cook it low and slow the rest of the way…just trying some new stuff to see how it comes out….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but still didn’t get anything done…well…I did get a few things done around here that were necessary but not enough….oh, well…crappy, crappy, night of sleep, too, so I’m a little worn out today…and the cramps in the calves have started already without having been on the bike and that is not good…I did get bananas at the store yesterday and have had one so I’m hoping they will be better before I get on the bike…it’s only 51 outside so I’ll have to wait a while for the temp to come up to go out…but I need to finish the coffee first anyway….one good thing is the soreness in my neck and shoulder is better so that’s something…and, I’m going to make some cash today and tomorrow so there will be groceries for the next two weeks…not much to do today…pool, of course, and an errand  but that is about it….more later…

Well…I think Tom will get a laugh out of this one…I have this weird obsession with how many bands/artists have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their songs…just saw another one…watching Crosby, Stills, and Nash on AXS…they have a Hammond…that makes almost everyone..other than Jeff Beck who I saw last week…just kind of funny….

Well…running really, really late today and I’m not sure how the morning got away from me…I did have to do the grocery run and put gas in the car but how I got to 9:30, I’m not sure…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few errands run so that was something…but no cleaning that I needed to do and I’m not sure I’ll get to it today…I do have to take G to the airport this aft so that will crimp the day somewhat…have to remember to take a bungee cord to hold the trunk down since I don’t think I’ve seen a suitcase small enough to fit without it….I have the tendon pain in my left elbow now and I am getting tired of the crap moving around like that…just wanted to get through a summer without any but I guess when you start getting old you have to just deal with it….not much to do today…I got a pork shoulder this morning and I’m not sure if I want to cook it today or Sat…but there is not much else to do other than stuff around here…more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but it was hard to get motivated to do much…I did get out to have a couple with G and that was only okay…slept okay last night but no dreams again and I may just stop reporting on that….the lack of motivation has carried through to today and I am trying to figure out a justification for not working out or riding the bike today…but, guilt is stronger than that right now so I guess I’ll get going in a minute….I do need more coffee to get going, though….the pain that was in my right tricep has moved to the left one and that is just so irritating….not sure why I’m so sore right now but part of it is that it was pretty cool on the bike yesterday and I never got warmed up enough to make the pain go away…not much to do today….just the normal stuff and coming back here for a couple more of these….more later…oh….only 650 more miles to 25K….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…was just in shock about Wall street’s meltdown and couldn’t think about anything else…but, I slept okay last night and that was strange…even with being good last night and the problem is that there is no pattern that I can replicate to ensure that sleep happens…the pain is better today but my left shoulder is still hurting and I wonder if it the moving tendonitis that I have had the past few years…I do have to buy some bananas in the grocery run this week since I have been getting cramping in my calves again on the bike….and it even hurts when I’m not on the bike so potassium is necessary…not much to do today….I will be back here in a minute for another sad one and that will set the tone for the rest of the day….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got the bike ride in before the rain so that was something…almost took the day off from riding but needed to avoid the guilt so I went….slept okay last night but no dreams again so I have given up on them…not sure if I miss it or not…have to think about that one…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but didn’t really need to so I avoided the guilt there…I do need to vacuum and do a little more cleaning today and it is going to be cool so that will help…have been having a hard time getting motivated but I hope to change that today…still sore in my neck and I think it’s from riding…just stiff, really, not sore and it is starting to get annoying…not much to do today…should clean the glass in the car since I did a pretty crappy job last time and there are streaks that I can see in the morning…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get out to look at the cars on 28th street so that was fun…slept okay but I am feeling a little run down today with the allergies getting worse…sitting here watching the F1 race from Spa and I am a little disappointed since this is my favorite track and it’s not much of a race…oh, well…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks like the same since I don’t really have any motivation to do anything today….not really sore today so that will be good on the bike…I was going to use the rain as an excuse to not ride today but it looks like it will hold off until the afternoon so I will go to avoid the guilt….not much to do today…going to just kind of veg it today and take it easy….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…sitting here watching Man U play and they are disappointing me again…they are not behind but there is no flow in the match..but, they have looked like that since the season started so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…slept okay but had to get up early to get out to get the papers since the match started at 7:45…..and I am still not really moving too well….it was a nice ride out and back to pool and I finally got the rattle in the car fixed and I really didn’t know how much it bothered me until it was gone….the coffee is not working too well this morning but I guess I should go get more to help that…not much to do today….going to get the bike ride in after the match and have to go to the stand and get some tomatoes to have the blt’s that T suggested yesterday….and I do need to clean but I probably won’t…more later….

Well…just a little short one on an observation I made today on the bike..the grasshoppers are missing…normally this time of year there are clouds of them on the trail that popcorn into the air when I ride through…but today, I counted 5 of them in the entire 15 miles….and there are normally thousands of them by now…not sure what is going on but it is just weird….oh, one other weird thing…had a bee land on my handlebar bag and just stayed there for over 5 miles…not sure what the heck that was about either…
