Well…it has been an interesting day today and I made a little money so that is cool….I have been sitting here trying to figure out what to write for the last one but I am still struggling with the whole idea of a topic….it is my least favorite day of the month after all…have to pay rent tomorrow…hmmm, so maybe that makes tomorrow the least favorite day? They’re both pretty bad…I did get to take a little drive today with the top down and that lifted my spirits somewhat but with taking the entire week off from cocktails…there will be huge quantities of boredom to deal with…and, the shutdown of the gov’t is just too much…where the hell did the adults go? I have had enough of the right’s bullshit and this will be pinned on them and their extortion and terrorism….okay, that’s enough for now….need to start all over again tomorrow….

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much accomplished…was just in a funk and didn’t feel like doing much…I did watch the last “Breaking Bad” and it was pretty good…kind of figured they would kill Walt in the end and that was okay…I may just write an entire one about that later but who knows? I slept like crap and it appears the sleeping pills are no longer working so I need to try something else….not much to do today…I do have some chores to do around here along with the normal stuff but that is about it…no cooking even, just leftovers from the pork shoulder…starting to get tired of it so I may just have today’s dinner and then freeze the rest for soup…more later…

Well…as you can see, I’m still trying to get caught up for the month so I am going to cheat a little….just got back from the ride and found a really cool new trail…or I should say they just finished the trail so I took it just to see where it goes…it starts out as just a trail but then about 100 yards in it turns into an elevated boardwalk that goes for almost half a mile…just couldn’t believe that Kentwood would put that much money into a trail…but, it shortens up my ride by about a mile so I won’t be taking it too much….still pretty cool….more later…

Well…it was a normal, boring day yesterday but the pork shoulder came out good so that is something…slept okay but still feel like crap today with a good sized headache that has to be caused by allergies…forgot to get allergy medicine yesterday so I’ll have to see if there is any here….I am looking forward to “Breaking Bad” tonight and that will be the focus of the day for me…after football and the races, that is….don’t have lot more to say right now…so, I won’t say it….more later…

Well…almost forgot this one from the trail this morning…when I was on the last uphill to the park where I take my last break every day, there was just the strangest sight…a rabbit, or half a rabbit was laying in the middle of the trail…it looked like it had just been sliced in half with a knife and the front was gone…and the weirder thing is that about 50 yards up the hill, there was another one…just like the first one…the front gone and the back essentially intact. Now, I am really curious about what could do that around here…could be a dog but why just the front gone? Maybe alien dissection? Coyote? It will be a puzzle for a while anyway….

Oh, one last thing…just an observation…why would anyone put custom wheels on a Prius? Saw one in the parking lot of the trail in Kentwood today…just not right…..

Well…running kind of late today but I did have to go out for groceries…just couldn’t pass up pork shoulder at 99 cents a pound and needed cocktail materials for “Breaking Bad” tomorrow night….making an 8 pound shoulder right now and can’t wait…it is going to be a little boring today with both Michigan and State on a bye week and no soccer that I can get…there may be a race to watch later, though…I’ll have to take a look…slept okay last night, I think, but I am still tired today so it must not have been that good…oh, well…it does look nice outside and it will be a long ride day with no wind to work against…other than that, not much to do today…I should clean and I might…I did get new wipers for the car and need to put those on since the ones on it just don’t work anymore…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and i was busy all morning and into the afternoon so the boredom was kept somewhat at bay….got the car cleaned and waxed and I can see out of the glass again…slept okay but feel kind of crappy this morning with going out to have a couple with G and then cocktails after I got back here…but, I think it is more the allergies since I have had this low grade headache for a couple of weeks now…and they are going to get worse with the ride this morning…but, still no medication so far and I feel good about that…but, I may pick some up tomorrow to keep from coughing so much…not much to do today..pool, since it is Friday but that is about it…I do have to move the car at some point since they are going to repaint the lines on the lot here but I am hoping that will get done while I’m gone this aft…more later…

Well…it has been an interesting morning and that is why I’m running late today…had to go to the bank to figure out why my debit card had stopped working…one of the places I used it had a data breach that could have emptied my account…but the bank canceled the card so they couldn’t steal…already have a new one and have it activated so things are back to normal…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much but send resumes….and today looks the same although I have already done the grocery run and I need to work out, get the bike ride in, and wash the car….so the aft will be busy…might have a couple with G later but I’m not sure about that…have been good most of the week so I can cut loose a little today….and I will be back later for three to get caught up…need to think out of the box a little for topics since I think I’ve beaten the normal ones to death….more later…

Okay…not sure what is going on but today, I had another bout with the suicide squirrels on the trail that was just like the one in the spring…must have had fifty of them run out in front of me with some of them doing the double…going across, then slamming on the brakes and running back again…not sure what the connection would be to spring but it has been weird to say the least….at least the bike worked well and I didn’t have to make any fine adjustments to the shifter after the cable replacement…might have to lube it, though, since it does hang just a bit…I will have to adjust it in a while to allow for the natural stretching that happens after I use it for a while…and, yes, this one was cheating a little but I am so far behind, I am starting to get concerned…

Well…it was a nice day yesterday even with breaking the shift cable on the bike…and the idea that this time they only charged me three bucks for a new one versus 12 bucks last time…bitched about that but didn’t have the receipt…oh, well…had a lot of fun with T last night going to the MM alumni meet and greet over at Aquinas…spent most of the time talking to the president of the College and that was fun…and free beer helped…even wore my suit and looked pretty sharp…and, I skipped cocktails after I got home so I feel okay today….that’s twice with T this week and that made me smile….slept pretty crappy, though, so I think that will have to be remedied with a nap this aft…but, I do have lots to do today so that might not happen….not much to do today…have to clean this place up and then get on the bike to do the adjustments to the new cable but that is about it…I will get caught up today since I am three down for the month….nope…five down for the month…need to get in gear…
