Wooly bear slalom…

Well….things are heating up in politics so you are going to be hearing about that in the next few weeks but I’m not sure if that is going to be today…I did have a funny thing happen on the trail today, over the past few weeks the quantity of wooly bear caterpillars has been increasing some but today, they just exploded and were everywhere…so, since I will not hurt one since it would mean one less Monarch butterfly next year, it was a wooly bear slalom all along the trail to keep from hitting them…kinda fun but a lot of work….

September 16th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…slept crappy but I did have a dream in the last hour that was pretty weird…had to do with a sporting goods store where I was working for free…lots of fishing and T, but T had a sister which is weird since she doesn’t….I feel okay today with being good and I think I want to do this all the time…I did have a little scare with the car yesterday…coming back from meeting up with a friend on the e-way, I started to smell coolant and it got really bad…started watching the temp gauge like a hawk to make sure the care wouldn’t overheat….after a while with the smell really strong…I passed a old Dodge SUV that was smoking and that was the source…I was so relieved especially with it being the wedding week and cash being somewhat tight…not much to do today…might have lunch with T but, if not, I’m going to clean the car and get it ready for this weekend..and clean around here a little…more later…

September 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much…I did get out to meet up with K for a few minutes and that was fun…but the rest of the day was watching the Lions lose (surprise, surprise) and watching the race and being bored….I could have cleaned the kitchen but I didn’t…I did do laundry but just kind of blew off the rest of the day…woke up this morning feeling okay even with not sleeping well so being good is a good thing I think…I do have some stuff to do today but with the rain coming I need to gt the workout and bike ride in soon…so, I am going to finish the second cup of coffee and get moving….more later…

September 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and Michigan won but I didn’t get much joy from it…they still look like they will get crushed when the Big Ten season starts….slept okay but still feel tired this morning and I’m not sure why…I am getting going early today and I’m not sure why about that either…maybe it’s because I need to get the bike ride in before Man U plays at 11? And then the Lions play after that but I’m not excited about that at all…I did get the bathroom cleaned and that made me feel good for about an hour…need to to the kitchen today but I’m not sure I will….not much to do today…just going to veg it mostly after the ride….I do need to find a new remote control for my dvd player….wanted to play one last night and it didn’t work…more later…

September 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool for the second week in a row so that was cool….slept crappy and had some weird dreams that I don’t remember much of so I won’t try….the allergies are bad this morning and I may have to take something for them before the evening like normal….and, I should have taken something last night since I spent the night choking and wheezing…might have something to do with not sleeping….it is cold outside right now, not even 50 yet, so I guess I’ll have to wait to get on the bike today…and that is okay since the EPL is on and it is halftime…not much to do today…there is a spider red alert in the bathroom so that needs to get taken care of, and there is Michigan football later but that is about it…more later…

September 12th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday with getting the new phone and getting my life moving again…slept okay but no dreams again and that is normal, really….the rest of the day was spent getting back into the routine of working out and the bike ride…hate doing it so late in the day when there is traffic so crossing the street is kind of dicey….and it was cold with it being only 55 degrees but I guess I have to get used to that, too…not much to do today….may have lunch with T before pool but that is kind of iffy at this point….other than that, not much to do today….grocery run…darn…just remembered that, need to get going and get that done….more later….

Update…

Well…just wanted to do a quick update on the phone trials I have been having for the past few days…got the new one less than 24 hours after I put the order in and that was pretty cool…and the new one has the latest software which is  a little different but okay…and all of the switches and the screen works like it’s supposed to for the first time in a year….we’ll see how long this one works…I did change my plan, too that will save me over 40 bucks a month so that is cool, too more later…

September 11th

Well…it was a really crappy day yesterday…my phone died and I spent the entire day trying to get it fixed…a  new one is supposed to be here today…and it is on the Fedex truck…but with how the phone is the primary way I connect today, it has been a royal pain in the butt…I did manage to get my contact list and photos downloaded from the old one so all I have to do is get my apps reloaded when it gets here…slept like crap with being good an no sleeping pills so I am tired today…don’t think I slept more than 3 hours total all night…and it is cold outside…but, the biggest pain is that I have to sit here and wait for the truck to get here….they won’t leave the phone without a signature…so, the rest of the day will be waiting…more later…

September 10th

Well…not running as late today but I’m not sure why…my routine is always the same so I should be here at the same time every morning but that never works out….slept crappy…and no comment…but there were some dreams that were not satisfying at all….I did get some stuff accomplished around here so that was something…but, not enough, so I need to get more done today….it looks like the bike ride will be between the raindrops today if I go out at all but the radar has rain and storms backed up all the way through Illinois so I may just take the day off…not much to do today…still feeling crappy so I think I’ll kind of take it easy unless a surge of energy hits and I get some ambition…more later….

Bike stuff…

Well…I am starting to have hope that my hands and feet are getting better…I have stopped itching all over so that is a good thing…but, that’s not what this is about…after I replaced the rear shock on the bike, I was having problems getting comfortable on it…something had changed and I was just not able to figure it out…it got to the point that I was thinking I was just getting bored with it…but, after I replaced the new shock after it failed with the old one…the bike feels good again and there is no squirming around in the seat trying to get comfortable…and I think I figured it out that the old shock has a different ride height than the new one which puts me more over the pedals than behind them and gives me a more direct pedal stroke….all I know is that today’s ride felt good and the bike feels more solid that it has in a while….it’s funny how an inch of change can have such a huge effect…
