June 4th

Well…it was another day yesterday…and I woke up to my right eye being closed again…this is getting to be a pain, after all, it’s been since last Thursday that I got sunburned and you’d think it would have healed by now…slept okay even with it being a no cocktail night so maybe I’ll get a few things done today…the kitchen does need a complete teardown but there are other things to do before that….I do look like a peeling snake today with losing all of the burned skin…it would be nice if it would get warm enough to go to the beach one of these days…what the heck is s Miata for? Might have to take a road trip one of these days..it can’t be good for the car to only drive it 300 yards a day….but, it does save me money on gas…more later…

June 3rd

Well…this damn software did it again…my June 3rd post disappeared…no wonder I’m behind…so, I’ll try to re-create it…slept okay last night but the eyes were swelled shut when I got up and I have been massaging them to be able to see ever since…I did get the squeak out of the bike for at least one day…had to tear the front fork off and grease the bearings with some lithium grease…but I made the mistake of lubing up a bunch of other stuff so I really won’t be sure where the squeak was…just glad it’s gone for now…I think I’m just going to bite the bullet and replace the clutch master cylinder this week…it has just been acting weird and I don’t want the damn thing to fail on me somewhere on the road…okay…that’s about all I remember so I’ll stop here…

June 2nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a little fun with going out and having a couple with K and V…slept okay and the swelling in my face seems to be a little better but it is still there…but there was no ooze out of the skin like there was yesterday so I take that as a good sign…..and my feet are much better…I won’t let sunburn like that happen again you can be sure….took the whole front of the bike apart and greased it yesterday but is still didn’t get rid of the squeak…I may have to take it over to the car wash and clean it so I can start from scratch…going to take a ride in a few to make sure where it is coming from…but that didn’t help yesterday….not much to do today….not even any cooking so it will be a lazy day…going to clean a little and then just read some…and come back for one more…

June 1st

Well…running late today, again, have been trying to get the squeak out of the bike again and it is driving me nuts…slept okay but woke up to find some thing really weird… the sunburn on my head has swelled up my forehead and tightened up the skin so much that my normal wrinkles are gone…looks kind of weird but and I hope it will go down as the damage is repaired…my feet are still huge, too, and I am having to wear my loosest fitting shoes just to have something to wear…not much to do today…going to get the bike ride in right now and then come back here and cook and clean…and, there are races on today so the boredom shouldn’t be too bad…

May 31st

Well…it was a weird day yesterday…kind of…my oldest brother just stopped by out of the blue and we stood outside and gabbed for a couple of hours…didn’t think anything of it but when I came in I was so sunburned on my head and feet that I have been bathing in aloe…and my feet have swelled up so much that I can barely get them in my loosest pair of shoes…oh, well…my fault…waiting for the blisters to form it’s that bad….other than that, it was just a normal day…I did make some cash and went out for breakfast which is really weird for me, too…feeling a little worn out today but I hope the coffee helps…might even skip the bike ride today to heal up but probably not…it’s the only thing that keeps my guilt from being overwhelming and it normally makes me feel better…I do have to try to find the squeak again…aargh….

May 30th

Well…running early this morning since I have to meet up with someone at 8….bad night last night with the Wings losing but I didn’t watch it so it was less painful….slept okay but feel like crap today and I think the allergies are doing part of it….okay…not feeling this right now so I am going to stop and come back later…

Okay…I’m back..it has been a busy day with the breakfast meet up and then my brother stopped over and we stood outside and gabbed for a couple of hours…got sunburned like a frickin lobster…need to get the aloe out so it doesn’t peel….this is the first time I’ve stood still all day and it’s after two….okay…need the aloe and some more water…long, hot ride today….still thirsty…

Dead birds and tiny bunnies…

Well…I’m one behind for the month so I thought I’d do one on the weirdness out on the trail today…yep, cheating like crazy but this is my site so I get to do whatever I want..on the trail today, I saw something that I thought was kind of weird…there were 6 dead baby birds on the trail…I mean so young that they didn’t even have feathers yet…but the strangest thing is that they were not near any tree that held a nest they had fallen out of….like they were just dropped from the sky….then, there is the just born crop of tiny bunnies who have not developed any sense yet and were just shooting all over the trail…some of them were even just sitting in the middle of the trail watching me as I went by…..it’s probably good that they have so many of them, these were so stupid that their lives will be short….

May 29th

Well…running late again today and I know the cause today, stayed up late watching a live concert by John Fogerty and didn’t get to bed until 1:30…and was back up at 6:30 or so…hmmmm…so why am I late? I did go to Meijers to get some stuff I needed…maybe that’s it? Who knows? I did sleep okay but I’m still tired as heck so maybe a nap later…did go out for a couple with G and she was in a mood to go so maybe that’s it….The wings play a game 7 tonight but I’m not going out to watch…it’s just no fun watching with a bunch of strangers and spending money to do it….it was a wet day out on the bike yesterday and I came back mudded from head to toe…going to need to do some maint on the bike since the dirt has made the shifter stick between gears and that is just annoying…I need to work out and get back on the bike so I should get going…more later…

May 28th

Well…it was a day yesterday and the Wings lost so that will be the end of watching for me….just don’t like going out by myself and spending money so Wed’s game will be spent doing something else…slept okay last night but forgot to close the window when I was out so I had to turn the heat back on when I got home…I wonder if we will ever have summer…or even spring…I did get the bathroom cleaned, finally, but that was about it…other than the air filter for the car….not much to do today…I do have to go over to the post office to get my mail since they said my mailbox was full and took all of my mail…I am really irritated about that since my electric bill is in the pile and I need to pay it….on that note…I am going to finish the coffee and get in the car….more later…

May 27th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with all of the races and I just couldn’t get motivated to do another one so today looks like I’ll have to do four today….there are a few things going on to comment about so it shouldn’t be that hard…slept okay last night but three cocktail nights in a row takes a lot out of me…I did make some money yesterday so that was cool and I can get groceries again this week…I do need to get going so I’ll be back later for more….

Okay….so I’m back…it has been an okay morning…did finally get the air filter changed on the car and did the rest of the checks…still can’t believe that I have over 4,000 miles on the oil change and it has still not used any oil..that from a car that has 156,000 miles on it…pretty cool…and I did get a bike ride in…and after using about half a can of WD-40 on it, it didn’t squeak…so that made the ride much better and my back is even getting better…still have to go out to watch the Wings later since they are still on a channel I don’t get….oh, well….
