July 30th

Well…it was a nice day yesterday with lunch with T and getting some stuff done…not enough but some stuff…I knew the sleeping well from a few days back with cool dreams couldn’t last and it didn’t…worst one in a while last night but I did everything the same to prep so I guess I just have to take that it is a crapshoot and move on…I have been good all week and I am going to try to make it to Friday night before cocktails again…I do feel so much better and am losing weight so that is pretty good motivation…along with better health…and the grocery bills are so much smaller…not much to do today…C is coming into town to sign away his house and then we are going out for some drinks…which don’t count since they are during the day…and the sequel to “Sharknado” is on tonight so that should be a few laughs…more later….

July 29th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so I feel good about that…running early today since I had the weirdest Donal Fagen dream last night…where no one showed up for his concert but me so we said the hell with it and took off to Virginia to drive old stock cars that belong to Junior Johnson through the woods….then back to the concert where Donald and his band put on skits instead of playing music that made the crowd mad but he didn’t care…then, he decided to do the concert and I got to pick all the songs that he played…haven’t had a dream like that in months…I think I slept okay, too….weird….not much to do today…having lunch with T and then Man U plays so the day looks full at this moment…more later….

July 28th

Well….it was just another nondescript day yesterday and nothing really happened so I’m not sure what to write about….it was a no cocktail night so that was something and I feel pretty good today…so far….I did get a few necessary things done and today will be cleaning and laundry after the bike ride…I did remember to thaw some chicken so I will have food to eat today…but, chicken, chicken, chicken….there are not many ways to cook it that I haven’t tried and I am getting really bored with it…I do have to go up to the office to bitch about a non running car that has been pushed right in front of my building and I just will not take it….not much to do today….and, that is true but I’ll try to figure it out…going to catch up today so come back for two more….

Just can’t get motivated…

Well…it has been a long couple of weeks trying to get motivated to more of these than just my life but it just hasn’t worked…not sure why but I guess I’ll have to start trying new methods since the old ones don’t work anymore….I am taking the week off from cocktails to cut back on the calories and lose a few more pounds and give the liver a rest…might have to take a few days off the bike, too…my back has been quite bad lately and now there is numbness in my right thigh that I know is from a pinched nerve so I need to deal with that, too….I have been hoping for a storm all day but it looks like no luck for that, either….at least it’s not as hot with the wind blowing….I am going to work on some politics or science or something for tomorrow…my brain is turning to mush from disuse and that needs to be fixed soon….you would think that with making some money that I’d have food here…but, nothing sounds good and I’ve lost my desire to cook, too…aargh…

July 27th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…was up and down all night so I feel like crap this morning but I think it will be cool to get out on the bike after the F1 race in the fog….I was going to take the day off the bike but I just can’t resist the way things look when it’s foggy….shouldn’t have had nuts yesterday…I am paying for it this morning but i still think I’ve had a bug for a few days and that is part of it too….okay…the race is coming back on so I am going back to it…more later….

Of course I’m going to cheat some…

Well…getting to the end of the month and I don’t want to fall further behind so I’m going to cheat a little…made a little more cash today so I went ahead and ordered the new rear shock for my bike…only 9 bucks and no shipping and it should be here in the middle of next week…pretty cool…but, it is a cheap one so we’ll see….it can’t be any worse than the one that’s in there now that doesn’t do anything….I did get a lot of work done today, too so I guess I feel good about that…but, I think I do have a bug since I am still coughing and feel crappy even now and it’s late in the day….I think I may buy the new headlights for the car tomorrow but I’m not sure…it would be cool to have some really bright ones…although I  seldom drive at night….okay…enough cheating…back to the race….

July 26th

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…
