Well…running late again today…had to go out for supplies and wanted to get it done before I got to the normal parts of the day…slept okay last night but it has been so long since I’ve had any dreams that I think they may be gone permanently…and that would be too bad…I did have a surprise on the trail yesterday heading into the park that I ride through…there was a frickin swat team there blocking off entrance looking for a ‘distraught” guy…and the first thing that popped into my head was yeah, he should be distraught if a swat team in full gear and rifles was looking for him…and the family never said he was armed so why the overkill? Again, I don’t think rolling out the pseudo army every time anything happens is the right thing to do…why not just walk in there and talk to the guy? Not much to do today….need to get the bike ride in but that is about it…and pool, of course…need to run the car a little hard today since I haven’t been driving much….more later…

Well…I am running really late and it is all my fault..out with G for a couple and then back here for cocktails made getting moving this morning more of a chore than I like it to be…but then, I have to remember that my schedule is self-imposed and I don’t need to feel guilty about being late…but guilt is such a great motivator for me…without it, I’d weigh 300 pounds and never get off the couch…I did skip the drive with the Miata folks yesterday since I haven’t paid my dues yet and didn’t want to be a free rider…and the car museum wasn’t even open so I couldn’t understand driving there…slept pretty crappy last night since I didn’t run the air trying to save money…what a pain…not much to do today…just need to get moving an get the workout in and then get on the bike…more later…

Well…as you can see, things are a little out of synch this morning but I had to do the piece on Wendy Davis first while the hope and outrage was still fresh….it was an okay day yesterday…got a few things done but not enough of them…but, there is always today to try again…slept okay and with no cocktails, I feel pretty good…and I think part of it is really trying to eat more to keep fueled up…got to almost 1800 cals yesterday and am going to try to keep it up today…I never knew that eating was going to be such hard work. I did slash the end of my nose with my thumbnail showering after the ride yesterday…looks like I took a knife to it…bled like crazy and now I look pretty damaged…oh, well….not much to do today…might take a drive with the Miata club later but won’t if it’s raining…drives should be with the top down…oh, and the supreme court is going to rule on DOMA and prop 8 today but with the gutting of the VRA yesterday…I have little hope that the gay and lesbian members of our society will be granted the full rights that everyone else has….
Some updates….
Well…running one behind for the month so I thought I’d do a short one on some updates…will be getting to 900 miles on the bike since April this weekend…way behind last year but I got to start in January last year with the warm weather so I don’t feel too bad about it…probably won’t get to 3K this year but that’s okay…I did get the oil changed in the car today and i am looking forward to seeing how the Rotella T-6 works…only took about 10 mins and spent 25 bucks all together so that was cool….there were suicide bunnies on the trails again today and they made me laugh like crazy…and I forgot to write about the deer that was trapped in the fences that enclose the trail and I followed it for almost a mile until it disappeared…looks like the group drive with the Miata club might be rained out tomorrow…supposed to be storming all aft and I don’t really want to take the drive unless I can put the top down…that’s it….no more later…
June 25th
Well….it was just another day yesterday and I really don’t remember if anything happened…I did get out in the sun to try to even out the biker tan but that is about it…slept okay last night and with it being a no cocktail night, I feel okay today…was planning to change the oil in the car today but it is finally storming so I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow….and I may get the day off the bike to let the legs heal so that may be a good thing and I won’t have to feel guilty about it….maybe a leisurely read of the papers today with some fresh coffee…it seems that with even being unemployed, I feel stress constantly to be doing something to find work…it is like a black cloud hanging over me all day…so maybe today I can get past it for a couple of hours and just relax…hope so…
June 24th
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…it may have been the heat…or the boredom…or that I just didn’t have anything to say….or, all three..or more…who knows? It was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do much other than meet up with a couple of people and make a little money…so, there will be groceries for another week or two…slept okay but I am tired today for some reason…and the heat really might be part of that…really have been trying to eat enough but it is harder than it looks and that may be a reason for the tiredness…was only able to get to 1400 cals yesterday and part of it is that nothing tastes good and it is almost too much effort to cook…maybe I’ll have to spend some cash and get a pizza…I will come back today for more since the supreme court is supposed to have some big rulings today and I do have to comment on them…
June 23rd
Well… sitting here watching the end of the 24 hours of LeMans and thought I’d get this done so I can get right on the bike after it’s over…it was an okay day yesterday…but, I already updated that so I’ll not bore you with more…did sleep okay but my shoulder hurts so I must have slept wrong…it is bad when you can get injured sleeping…guess I’m getting old…and I am just coated from sweating but don’t want to shower until after the ride….and I don’t really have much to do today….more races and probably a nap…and more cleaning if I want to keep up…more later…
Part two…
Well…haven’t been able to think of a political one to do today so I think I’ll just update and see if I can get in the groove…it has been an okay day so far…LeMans has been nice to have on all day and I have gotten some cleaning done finally…the bathroom is now spotless and I got the mat for the bike cleaned and removed a bunch of stains from the carpet…didn’t get to anything else, though, so I am a little disappointed…did get a nice bike ride in and got the squeak fixed again so that made the morning nice…I am counting down to cocktail time here in about an hour and that will be a light one tonight…I am a little frustrated that the storms have fallen apart again today and it looks like nothing across the lake so I guess I’ll just have to wait….might have to run the air later since it is still 85 and that contributed to the uncomfortable sleep last night….okay….done with this for now…
June 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….but the damn storms that I was waiting for fell apart coming over the lake and it looks like the same thing is going to happen today…slept okay but there were spiders that drove me nuts…looks like I have to do a spider sweep today to get rid of them….I do need to eat more since I have been so tired lately and I know it’s from the 1400 cals a day I have been taking in….but, I did buy food today so I have some here and I am going to try to get over 2000 cals today…I am a little excited that LeMans is starting in a few minutes and there is like 15 hours of coverage throughout the day so I will have background noise as I clean…and I do need to clean today…both the bathroom and the kitchen…hell, the whole place needs it so I have work to do today….more later…
June 21st
Well…another long day yesterday but it had a nice, long trip in the Miata in it so that made it okay…slept okay last night but it looks like I may have to run the air the next couple of days since it will be in the upper 80’s the next four…finally getting some summer here and I like it….I do have to remember sunscreen in the car with it this hot, though….the damn squeak is back in the bike but I’m hoping it’s the shock and wd will take care of it…going to be a really good sweat today with it being almost 80 and not nine yet…and going to take a long one today to get the toxins out from the cocktail night last night….not much to do today…pool day, of course, but that is about it….but, need to get the bike ride in right now so More later…
