July 7th

Well…it was another day yesterday and there were a few interesting things that happened so that was okay…got the chance to get out and have a couple with C in the aft and drive the car a little but the night was interrupted when the power went out in the middle of a show that I was watching…after sitting in the dark for an hour, I gave up and went to bed…the storms were pretty cool though but they think there was a small tornado that went through about 2 miles north of me…I’m going to take the bike out and take a look at the damage later since that area is on my normal route….slept crappy last night and that is leaving me worn out this morning but one more cup of coffee and I’ll get started on the day….not much to do today….going to take it easy since my back has flared up and I’m pretty uncomfortable….more later…

July 6th

Well…F1 is in a red flag for a crash so it looks like the perfect time to get this one done….it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the car cleaned…the glass was so filthy that I just couldn’t stand it anymore…slept crappy again and I’m not sure what to do about it…I did have one good day last week and that makes it even more frustrating…didn’t get much done but I need to do better today…but, there is so much racing on that I may just skip everything and veg…not sure yet…may even skip the bike ride since the next race comes on at 11 and at noon…I am going to try to clean a little since the spiders are taking over the bathroom and I need to get them gone….more later…

July 5th

Well….as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one but it’s early in the month so I can catch up later….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool but the fireworks that went on all night were a pain in the butt…so many of them around here that I could smell the sulphur in my place…annoying to say the least….did not sleep well since I forgot to take my allergy medicine and could barely breathe….last night was a bore with a boring race and not much else to see…it looks like tonight is going to be the same with another race but maybe it will be better….not much to do today…I am going to clean some and watch soccer, yep, I’m still doing that, and there are some good matches on today…but that is about it.,..now it’s time to get out on the bike since it looks like a nice morning out there…more later….

July 4th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was good….slept kind of okay, too, so I’m not sure what is going on….didn’t do much yesterday but the grocery run and some cleaning but I don’t feel bad about that…being broke has a way of depressing you so nothing really sounds good…I am getting closer to the 20K mark on the bike…only 60 more miles to go and that will put it next Tuesday that I will get there…might have to celebrate a little….I am a little down remembering what the 4th used to be like with the big parties and raising a little hell and now nothing really…there will be pool today since I made some cash so that will be fun…and making a delivery late last night got me out to watch the fireworks that people are setting off…it smelled like fireworks everywhere with the top down and that was kind of cool…not much to do today…pool, of course, and then back here for races and soccer….yep, still going to watch the rest of the world cup even though we’re out of it….more later…

July 3rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get some stuff done on the car so that was good….still waiting to see if the lube of the front end got rid of the squeak…I do think lubing the throttle cable helped..it has idled fine today so far….slept crappy again last night and I have been up since 5 so I will need to compensate for that today…running a little late today since Brian just stopped to chat for a while but, what the heck do I have to worry about…it looks like the weather has cleared up so that will make for a nice ride today…not much to do today…I am going to make some big ribs today since I am just so darn tired of chicken and I have been under eating almost all this week which left me just so tired all day yesterday….will try to fix that today…and I still haven’t made any money so it looks like I may have to skip pool tomorrow unless a call comes today…..more later…

New speed records….

Well…I know it’s only been a few weeks since I reported that I had a new set of speed records on the bike, but today I broke them again and thought I should report that, too. On the downhill pedaling, the new record is 30.6 mph..helped a lot by a 20 mile an hour tailwind and 3 cups of coffee…and that resulted in a new top speed at the bottom of the hill of 34.5 mph….which is really hauling on a bike…at least it is to me…I wonder if I can get to 40 mph by the end of the summer?  Sounds like a goal to me…more later…

July 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was good….no more world cup for the US so that is bad but not unexpected….I did have some problems with the car that I need to work on today…the throttle hung up and gave me an idle around 2K for a while but I think that has to do with the cable needing some lube…and I had a squeak in the front that I think will be from the same thing…going to get under it this morning and hit all of the bushings with lube, too….not much to do today…other than the car that is….I am going to clean the bathroom and start getting rid of the unneeded mail….and then I’m not sure…more later…

Another day…

Well…I guess I used up my political outrage yesterday so I won’t be doing one of those today…haven’t been real motivated today but I did get a few things done….broke, broke, broke again but I did take my broken equipment into the store that I use for supplies and they are going to fix it for just the cost of parts…about 15 bucks since I am a good customer…that will help since the new equipment is just not cutting it…one bad bit of news is that the US lost this aft so there will be no more world cup…I may watch some of the rest of the games if only to just root against Brazil and Belgium….now, it’s almost time to shut off for the day and just veg for a while…so, that’s what I’m going to do…

July 1st

Well…another month goes by and I am trying to have the US game this aft drag me out of the depression that comes with paying the rent each month…and, I spent the last 2 dollars I had for papers this morning so it looks like it’s going to be a hunker down week with nothing much that I can do…yesterday was okay and I did get a few things done so that was good…but, I have recognized that the new equipment is worthless so I have to figure out how to repair the old stuff and make it work again….not something I really can afford right now…not much to do today…going to just hang out and do the normal stuff while I wait for the game at 4…go USA…..more later…

June 30th

Well…last day of the month and I am slipping into the depression that always comes with this day…slept okay but don’t really care….it was an okay day yesterday but all I did was watch soccer…no cleaning or anything and that is not what I need to be doing but it is hard to get moving right now…and, I do need to do three more of these today to make sure I hit 60 for the month…but, that will be easy with the last decisions of the supreme court being released in about a half hour…so, I will be back in a few minutes to either cheer or rail against the stupidity of this court…back soon….
