Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was good again so I feel okay today..slept okay again…not as well as the other night but still better than normal…my back hurts today, though so the ibuprofen will be necessary for the bike today…there were dreams again and my Miata keeps turning red in them so I don’t know what that is about….I did finally get out to replace the coffee maker and got a nice one for 15 bucks that I just ran for the first time…pretty good coffee so that is cool…I also made some cash yesterday so I can pay my car insurance next week….I am happy that the car is so reliable…have not spent anything on repairs in over two and a half years…I know I don’t drive a lot but that is still pretty cool…put 15 bucks in the car last week and it still has 3/4 of a tank in it…not much to do today…the normal stuff but that is about it….I do need to do something before the summer is over and I’ve already done the beach thing so I’m not sure what that something would be….who knows?  More later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but another wasted one that I need to change today…slept pretty good last night and I feel okay this morning…which is something I didn’t think I’d say anymore…I think the no cocktail idea is a good one and I think I’ll do that for a week or so to just see how it works out….but, no…I’m going to need a cocktail for the repub debate and Jon Stewart’s last show thurs….but that will be a late starter since I’ll have to stay up until almost midnight…and that’s late for me….have been making progress toward the goal of 25K miles on the bike and it’s down to only 900 more miles to get there….feel pretty good about that and my legs are back to normal finally….it looks like a week of great weather so I do need to wash the car again but I’m not sure why it gets so dusty so fast…..not much to do today…I do have to go out for the new coffee maker today and get some cleaning done but that is about it…..more later….

Well…it’s back to the old routine today after getting the site back up Friday…so, here we go….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again…so today will have to be different….the storms were a little disappointing but the fog this morning wasn’t…pretty cool to wake up to but it is burning off now before I get the chance to ride the bike in it…slept okay but went to bed dearly out of just sheer boredom so that made for an early morning today….but, I feel okay so it will be a workout and bike ride day….not even sore at all but I will still take something before I get on the bike since my wrists have been killing me when I ride….not much to do today…need to clean and go out for a new coffee maker but that is about it…and then come back here for another one after I read the news to get some topics…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did drag the old coffee maker out so I could have coffee this morning…slept okay but no dreams again and that disappoints me some….not really sore today so I think the aspirin and ibuprofen is working quite well…and yesterday’s ride was almost normal so that was cool….and it looks like I need to get out early today to beat the storms that are coming later in the day….I sure hope we get some since some damn bird crapped on my car and I just washed it….not much to do today…going to just take it easy and clean a little…don’t even have to cook today other than veggies so I’m just going to enjoy it and let it flow…more later….

Well….have been sitting here today thinking about things…one weird thing that happened today still has me shaking my head…the wind was blowing pretty hard and I had the windows open with a flower pot on the sill…well…a gust comes up and pushes that 2 lb flower pot off the sill and into my coffee maker, breaking the damn carafe and spilling coffee everywhere….never have I seen anything like that…looks like I’ll have to drag the old 9 dollar one out to make coffee tomorrow…glad I kept it….is anyone else kind of creeped out by the new Col. Sanders? Every time I see those commercials, I think of Jon Stewart’s GW impression….I think I may have said that before….I have been making some money lately and that has meant lots of food around here…I think that has helped the dead legs on the bike but it is still hard to keep eating more….it is sure nice to have this thing working again….I missed doing these and having something to do…said that, too, I guess….it has been a nice day today but I haven’t really done anything but veg out…and that looks like the rest of the day, too….okay, that’s enough…going to watch part of the auction…..

Well….with the site being down, I am now working on remembering all of the thoughts I had over the past week and getting them down here…so, since my memory is not linear, there will probably be little order to them…but, there really never is so that shouldn’t be a problem…as you know, when something unusual gets my attention when I am heading out on the bike, I just start counting to kind of quantify how weird it is with numbers…you’ve seen me do that with tiny bunnies, snakes, deer, turtles, and anything else that is on the trail…some time last week, I started out and saw a couple of dead moles on the way out of the lot here so I started counting…and at the end of the 15 miles I had counted 47 dead moles…not sure why they were dying on the pavement like that but is was kind of strange…in the days since, I haven’t seen even one of them…weird….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and the ride out and back with the top down was fun….slept okay last night but no dreams but I am getting used to that…not sure why I’m not sore today since I have been for the past week or so…just haven’t been able to get comfortable on the bike and I’m not sure why…and the legs have been good and then flat alternating from day to day…going to do a hard ride today and see what the deal is…not sure if it is the fallout from the bug I had a few weeks back or what but I sure don’t like it….it looks like a nice day out there with no wind so it will be a good one to go hard….not much to do today…bought a 10 pound frozen mass of chicken that I have to let thaw so I can break it up and put it back in the freezer and then I’m going to grill some pork for lunch…I should clean since the spiders have invaded again but I’m not sure I have the motivation to do that…we’ll see…right now I need more coffee…more later…

Well…it’s be a long week of my site being down but I’m back and I hope  few of you who have been here since I started this will take one more chance and come back and take a look…..it has been a week where not doing this has left a big hole in my days and I have so much to say that I will be overloading for a few days…I do feel bad to not make the goal for the month but not being able to access the site is a pretty good excuse…I think my son is going to move it to a more stable server tomorrow…but, right now is cocktail time and I need to get back to work on that…but, I will be back with a full slate tomorrow…I have a lot to say so come back and see if it makes any sense….more later…and that feels damn good to say….

Well…haven’t done a trail one lately but today there was something that was just so cool I had to talk about it…sitting at my last water stop on the bench in the park today, looking out over the open field that is in front of it, there was a cloud of tiny little fighter jets that were hunting through the tall grass…well…actually they were scissor tail swallows that just look like tiny little fighter jets when they were twisting and turning in high g turns as they chased the bugs they were hunting….but, I think there was more than just feeding from some of them…one especially looked like it was just having fun….pulling up until he stalled but then still didn’t flap his wings…he just fell a few feet until he started to glide again….and he kept this up for a few minutes as I watched…just made my day to see this kind of stuff…nature is pretty cool when you pay attention….

Well…as you can see, I’m back up finally after being down since last thurs…the server’s CPU burned up and replacing all that stuff takes time…it was an okay day yesterday and I have to say I lost at pool…I do miss doing these…I was getting antsy when I knew I had things to say and nowhere to say them….but I did lose one about JEB! that I am going to have to try to recreate…I thin it was about Medicare…maybe I’ll do that one after I finish this one…it has been an okay weekend so far but a little too warm for me…I am still having problems with my legs on the bike but I think it’s from not eating enough so I have been trying to fix that all day…with no luck…maybe I’ll get on with the JEB! one…more later…
