Well…it was an okay day yesterday and i won at pool so that was cool…and it was a nice ride out and back but I didn’t get anything else done….that will change today with having lots of stuff to get done around here along with the bike ride and watching F1 qualifying…I was going to take the day off the bike to let the legs rest but with the storms that are supposed to come tomorrow, that may be the better day to do that….feel kind of crappy today an I think it’s a bug of some sort…have been warm and coughing with no energy but we’ll see later how that is…have been sweating this morning, too, so it has to be a bug….darn….not much to do today…work around here and back here for another one but that’s about it…more later….

Attack chicken…
Well…almost forgot about this one….out on the trail yesterday, I was passing a woman who was walking along next to the edge and a huge brown and white chicken came out of the brush, flapping it’s wings and running at her….she must have jumped a foot sideways and took off running while the chicken followed hee for a few yards….really kind of funny…but, as funny, the chicken was there again today but just standing on the side of the trail like it belonged there…just weird….
July 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but not much happened…I did get the chance to start working on the biker tan but clouds screwed that up after only a short while…slept pretty crappy again and woke up with my tooth hurting again…so, I must have ground my teeth all night….and, I’m running late this morning with a combo of talking to my daughter and then making a grocery run…I do have to order the new equipment this morning so I can get back on track…other than that, not much to do today…I was kind of hoping it would rain so I could take the day off the bike but that’s not going to happen so I need to get going…after more coffee, that is…more later…
July 24th
Well…running late this morning with a computer that has decided to try my patience…but, it looks okay now so I guess I need to get moving…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was good…and I get the chance to hang out with T for a little while and that was fun…slept okay, I think, and could finally do a night without the earplugs in….I did find out that my equipment can’t be fixed so I have to buy some new stuff but the new stuff looks pretty cool and it is much less expensive that I expected so that is cool, too….may be making some more cash today and I’m not sure why that is happening but it’s nice to be able to buy groceries without the knot in my stomach that has been there all summer…not much to do today…I do have some stuff to do around here today and maybe over to K’s later to hang out a while but that is about it…more later…
July 23rd
Well….just lost the entire post that I was writing and I am a little irritated since I now have to try to reconstruct it….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little money that I spent on groceries this morning but my head is still above water so that is okay…didn’t get much done yesterday but I didn’t have much to do so I guess that works out…did get out to have a couple with G and that was interesting…but, it broke up my no drinking week and I am not too happy about that….I am happy that the truck race on dirt from Eldora is on tonight…last year’s was a hoot to watch since a bunch of the drivers had never been on dirt before….and then later, Man U plays the LA Galaxy but it doesn’t start until 11 so I won’t see much of that…and they won’t bring the whole team anyway so it won’t be much of a game…that’s about all I have to do today…I am going to meet up with T for a HH later and I do have errands to run so it is going to be a busy day for me….more later…
July 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got some work done around here…and, found some new equipment if I have to replace the old stuff…slept crappy and part of it was worrying about T and her tests today….but, most of it was just the same old crap…I have to do a better job of watching what I eat since yesterday I was under again…but, I still don’t understand why I’m not 150 pounds with only eating 1400 cals and burning 900 on the bike every day….need to lose another 20 pounds but I’m not sure how to do it….not much to do today…might make a little cash and that would be cool but that is about it…need to get out on the bike before it gets too hot but that’s about all I have to do…was going to go to the beach but business calls so that’s out until next week now….oh, well…
July 21st
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but just a normal Sunday with a little cleaning and races in it….not going to talk about sleeping….didn’t eat enough, again, so that will have to be fixed today but that means that the legs will be dead for the bike ride…they were yesterday, too, so it looks like I may be taking a day off soon…maybe tomorrow, have been thinking about making a run out to the beach since it is going to be 90 or so tomorrow but T is going to be in the hospital for tests all day so I may want to be here for support…not much to do today…and that is true….not sure what to even think about doing….maybe I’ll figure something out later….
July 20th
Well…sitting here watching the F1 race and thought I’d get this one done so I can get out on the bike as soon as it is over….it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much…slept okay but up at 5:30 again and that is getting to be a pain….and it looks like there are many more races on today so it looks like another wasted day but that is okay…and the wind is not blowing at all so it will be a good ride…man, this one is disjointed…maybe I’ll just go back to the race and come back later…
July 19th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some more cash so that was cool…lost at pool, though, so that wasn’t but still had fun….did get the chance to drive the car at night which is one of my favorite things, and with the top down it was just neat….didn’t sleep well…not to bed until almost 1 and then back up at 6:30 with tossing and turning all night…oh, well….needless to say, I am exhausted this morning but I will get out on the bike in a while…watching F1 qualifying right now and having a sorely needed cup of coffee….not much to do today…I do need to clean again and get laundry done but that is about it….and cooking…..more later…
Trail coolness….
Well…going to cheat a little today since I am 4 behind for the month but it is really cool so I thought I’d share….while riding today, the tiny bunnies were out in force with seeing 14 or 15 of them in the first half mile so I thought I’d count them for the entire ride…64 by the end but that is not the cool part…while I was on my first climb, a rabbit was just sitting on the trail not moving…even as I got closer, the bunny still just sat there until I was about 6 feet away…but then, the strangest thing happened…a female red-tailed hawk dove on the bunny but then, when it saw me coming, it pulled up into a steep turn and left the bunny sitting there…it didn’t even move until I got to it…one of the coolest things I have seen in quite a while and had me grinning the rest of the ride….
