July 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and the team that I predicted won the world cup…and, in a pretty good game…but, I am going to talk about that later…slept normally…and crappy…but, who cares? I did get a few things done but today and tomorrow, I am going to just screw around since it is my birthday tomorrow…I am going to try to find a place where I can get a free meal just for the heck of it…I do still need to work out and get the bike ride in but there won’t be any grand gesture this year to prove that I can still do things….proved that to myself a few years back….not much to do today…I am going to clean a little and do some laundry but that is about it…more later….

July 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…and Brazil lost the third place game so that made me smile…what an overrated team…slept okay, or I should say better than what the norm has become so that is a plus…had weird dreams where I was working again and that was strange….left the kitchen window open last night and the counter and window were soaked when I got up…didn’t think it was going to rain last night…oh, well…..getting ready to get out on the bike early today but I have been having trouble getting the seat adjusted right…and that it so annoying when you’re on it for over an hour a day….not much to do today…the world cup final, of course, but not mush else…may do the kitchen since I felt good after getting the bathroom done….and I will probably come back for a world cup wrapup later….

Computer glitches…

Well…it has been a day with getting some cleaning done…finally…but I have had computer problems all day that I think are finally ironed out…just like my phone, when this thing does updates, it screws it up…had it running all day with the updates and the router looked just like it was running a movie all day….seems to be alright now…but, when I cleared the history, I lost the login to my site but my son just texted it to me and now I’m up and running again…sitting here watching a boring movie….yeah, I know, why? There was nothing else to do after the soccer match ended so I thought I just try one….but, it is cocktail time now so I’m going to end here and go back to the boring movie….

July 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool for a second week in a row which is really unusual…another night of crappy sleep and that is getting frustrating…up at 5, again, okay…not going to talk about that anymore….it was a nice ride out and back with the top down and I did the same thing going for groceries this morning….I am looking forward to the third place game in the world cup today just to see how bad Brazil is going to play…I am going to finish the bathroom today and get some other stuff done but it is going to be one of those low key days…going to lay out in the sun to get dome color before the soccer since the biker tan is getting pretty ridiculous….more later…

Kamikaze dragonflies….

Well…there has been one stretch of the trail that has huge amounts of those blue/purple dragonflies on it the past couple of days…that in itself is pretty cool, even though a few of them hit me at 20 mph which stung a bit….today, I decided to see if it was accidental or on purpose…while riding through the area, I decided to look up the trail to see if I could track some of them and get out of the way…well…this worked for most of them but there were three that changed direction and ran right into me again…with the first one, I just moved a foot or so to the right and it hit me in the chest…for the next two, I moved a full lane, waiting until they were almost upon me before moving and they still hit me…one of the strangest things I have seen in a while and this behavior is the reason for the title….weird…

July 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the shower cleaned so I guess that is a start…I did scrub the grout with a brush, too, so that was more work than I planned…will have to do the rest today..or maybe I’ll wait til the weekend…slept really crappy again even with it being a cocktail night so I’m not sure what is going on…and the cocktail night was not any fun so I guess that maybe I’m past that, too…I did have a funny thought this morning when I opened my mail and found my new driver’s license..this could be the last one I ever get…just like the Miata could be the last car I ever own…weird…might be because my birthday is coming up and I just hate getting older…oh, well….not much to do today…the rest of the bathroom and pool but that is about it…and I am going to try to not get further behind here…more later….

July 10th

Well…running really late today since I had some cash in my pocket and had to get some groceries before it all evaporates….was out of everything but today I will have some pork chops to grill…but, that is almost out of reach now with the prices going up so far…back to chicken, I guess…slept crappy again last night and I had really hoped that it would get better…I guess I’ll try staying up later if I don’t get too bored and see if that will help….didn’t get the equipment fixed since they didn’t get the part so I have to cripple on for another week…oh, well….not much to do today…I do have to do the bathroom…but, I have been saying that for a couple of weeks now…the next time I use it I will have to fight my way past the spiders…more later….

July 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was a good thing…slept really, really crappy last night and I think I pulled something from tossing and turning so much…and then up at 6 or so after not getting to sleep until about 1 so that makes it about 4 hours or so of sleep…I’m starting to think that that is the amount that is normal for me….didn’t get much done yesterday since the world cup was on and my prediction of the outcome of the Brazil game was right…but, I am going to talk about that in a post later so I won’t go deeper into that here….I am looking forward to the game this aft to set the final so I will need to get everything done early….and I do have some stuff to do today…have to go out and check on my equipment and run a couple of errands and that might be fun with the top down….not much to do today….I am going to try to clean the bathroom again…and that is try…not sure if I will or not….but, it is getting to the point that the spiders will take over unless I do it…more later….

July 8th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but seeing the damage to all the old trees from the tornado was a little depressing…can’t imagine what the people in the path are going through….slept okay last night and with being good, I feel okay today…but the night was boring and I really do need to find other things to do other than watch tv….looks like the bike ride is going to be put off until later today since it is storming right now but I can still work out and get some stuff done around here…not much to do today…looking forward to Germany/Brazil later today but that’s really all I have to do….more later….

I made it….and tornados!

Well….I finally go there this morning…20,000 miles on the bike! I has been a long 6 years but rewarding…maybe not rewarding but it has been fun and I have seen lots of weird stuff….like this morning when I heard on the news that a tornado had come through around a mile from my place last night…and right on my normal path on the bike…it looked like a bomb had gone off there and the was not one undamaged tree left standing…it was kid of strange coming up to the area…it’s look had changed so much with the trees being flattened that I had to look at it for a while to recognize the normal landmarks….a pretty close one….more later….
