Well…running normally this morning and need to get this one done before I get out on the bike….it was an okay day yesterday but I don’t remember who won at pool so I won’t comment on that…slept okay but that is all there is to report on that…no dreams to speak of but I haven’t tried to remember them lately…I so need to get going to get on the bike….not much to do today…I am going to watch a couple of races and try to get the kitchen floor done but I don’t have to cook today so that will make it easier…pork loin tomorrow so that will be something to look forward to…more later…

Well…running a little late this morning and it is just that I don’t need to be in a hurry on Fridays…it’s a no work out day so all I have to do is get on the bike in a few minutes…I do have to do some repairs to get the squeak out again but that takes about a minute so I can just take it easy…it was a good day yesterday with a long HH with T and lots of laughs and the car has just been transformed with the clutch fix…just so much more fun to drive now that it shifts right…slept okay, too, and that is a big plus…I did get out to Target and picked up an all in one printer yesterday…a wireless printer, scanner, copier for only 35 bucks…can’t even buy the ink for that price…pretty cool but I’ve never owned an Epson so we’ll see how that works..not much to do today…out for pool later but that is about it…and another one of these, too…more later…

Well…running late again today and there is no reason for it, really…just wanted to lie on the couch instead…but, I’m here and ready to go now…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the chance to take the Miata out for a long, top down drive which was fun…I can’t believe how much nicer the car feels with the clutch working properly and no notchiness in the shifter…slept okay, too, so that is a good thing…and I had a little bit of luck taking the bike out yesterday…when I got on it the computer was not working so I stopped to check it out and found the magnetic trigger had come loose and was barely hanging on…if it would have fallen off on the trail, it would certainly have been lost…not much to do today…I do need to get moving to get the workout in and there may be a HH with T later but that is about it….more later…
August 14th
Well…running late today since it is grocery day and that does take some time….what the hell is going on with the weather here in GR? I mean, 47 degrees in August? And only in the 70’s for highs? August is supposed to be high humidity and 90’s as the summer winds down…I hear it is supposed to get back to normal next week so that will be the week to get out to GH. It was an okay day yesterday and I got the car cleaned and waxed but not much else done….I am still so sore that doing anything that is too strenuous is really a pain…I guess I’ll have to remember the ibuprofen in the mornings to try to get the tendon swelling down…slept okay last night and the new tenant upstairs is not an A/C junkie like the last one so that keeps it pretty quiet at night…not much to do today…just the normal stuff of workout, riding the bike, and cooking…the kitchen floor need a scrubbing and I may get to that today…maybe not…more later…
August 13th
Well…it was a kind of strange and depressive day yesterday with it raining almost all day…and it started raining after I was out about a mile on the bike and kept raining the whole way…but, it was warm enough with no lightning so I just kept going….and the bike survived another day of riding with the fiberglass holding up…slept okay last night and it was nice that it was a little cool but I think this is the coldest I can remember it being for such a long stretch in August…it is supposed to be 90 but today will only be around 70 for a high and tonight it will be in the 40’s…strange….not much to do today…more resumes, of course…and cleaning, cleaning….more later….
August 12th
Well…it was just another normal Sunday with tons of vegging and not much else going on….kind of boring when I think about it but it is what it is…and, today is looking like more of the same and that is just not something I’m looking forward to…the only bright spot was the first of the last series of “Breaking Bad” and that was pretty good…slept okay, too, and with only having a half a cocktail last night, I feel okay today and ready to get some things done…not sure what those things are going to be but I’ll try to figure that out as the day goes on….will have to wait to get out on the bike with the rain still coming down or I may even take the day off and let the legs rest…more later…
So far so good..
Well…just a short update after the bike ride…and, if you can’t tell, I’m cheating a little to try to get caught up today…so far so good…I did abuse the bike a little this morning to see how the fiberglass will hold up and the seat is still tight and not flopping around so maybe it will hold up for a while…I do have enough material left to do the whole thing again so if it does break, I can just repair it again…it was a nice morning to be out on the bike, too, so I am starting to feel okay again…on to the news…
August 11th
Well…running a little late today but not too late…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the bike repaired but I’m not sure how good of a job I did…that will show in a minute when I take it out for a ride….doesn’t look too good but I I’m more into function so that’s okay…slept okay last night but with it being a cocktail night, I feel a little crappy today…but I think I ate enough yesterday so that won’t be compounding it and I should have good legs for the ride…if the bike holds up, it will be a long one today….not much to do today…I was going to wash the car but I think I’ll wait until tomorrow…or maybe today, who knows….more later…
Just an update…
Well…it has been kind of a busy day today and I finally got to doing the fiberglass on the bike frame to keep the seat post tube from cracking….laid up three layers of glass and resin and it looks like it might work okay but I won’t know until I take it out tomorrow and put some stress on it…I hope it works or I may have to start looking for a new bike…but I don’t want to spend 400 bucks right now….maybe I’ll start saving where I can and see if it can be done…didn’t get to washing the car today but that’s okay…it will give me something to do tomorrow….I am looking forward to the premiere of “Breaking Bad” tomorrow…may have to go out to Netflix and see if last season’s finale is out there….
August 10th
Well…it was a long and interesting day yesterday and I even won at pool for the first time in over a month…and put the 8 ball in on the break to win the week…something that I never do…so that was fun and then out with K for a couple after I got home…and I made a little cash so I have groceries for another week….slept okay last night, too, so, all in all, it was a pretty good day….I am feeling a little crappy today, though, and I think it’s the allergies that are kicking in since my head is plugged up and hurting…oh, well…not much to do today…I do need to clean the car since there is a film on the inside of the windows again and the really bugs me…and I do need to clean this place up, too, so there will be things to do today…and I do need to do a couple more of these to get caught up….
