Well….as you know, I broke the bike last week and have been waiting for it to be welded…so, today I talk to the guy and he promises that he’ll do it today but raises his price for making 2 inches of welds to 75 bucks from the 25 bucks he quoted…so, after talking to Tom and having him offer to weld it, I went and picked the bike up since I wasn’t going to pay 75 bucks for a 10 minute job….after I got back here, the idiot from the welding shop called me and started bitching at me and told me he was the only one if GR that could do the weld and WHEN I brought it back to him the price would be double to 150 bucks…and, of course, I told him I would junk the bike before I’d ever let him touch it….what an ass….but, that was the only thing that has happened to me today…

Well…running late today and there really is no reason for it…been up since 6 or so but just couldn’t get motivated to do this until now…and I still don’t feel that good…stayed up until 1 and back up at 6; just not enough sleep but that can be rectified later today…have to go pick the bike up even though it’s not done…and then find someone that will really work on it…but, I am going to go get coffee first…not much else to do today…it is going to be hot all week but I’m not sure if I’m going back to the beach or not…we’ll see…more later…

Well…running late this morning since I wanted to get the car washed early…and I did so that is one thing off my list for the day…it was a total veg day yesterday and T thought I should be cauliflower so I was…I did have some errands to run and it was nice to get out and talk to people for a change…slept okay but don’t really remember how well so I’m not going to comment on it…not much to do today…I am looking forward to the Spain/Italy soccer match later this aft and there is a 6 hour race on that I may watch part of…but that is about it…I should clean my kitchen later but I am just not motivated to do it right now…I am going to take a shower and then take it easy for a while….

Well…it was just another day yesterday…just like all the rest and it is getting old….but, what’s the alternative? Slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of so that’s boring, too…okay…this isn’t working right now so I’m going to stop here…need to take a shower and go out for the papers and then back here for coffee…

Okay…I’m back and feeling better after coffee but the brain still is not working as I think it should…or maybe my life has just become so boring that even I’m not interested….not sure what I’m going to do today…it’s going to be hot again but I don’t mind it too much even without the air on…I do have an errand to run this morning but that’s about it…and I do have to do one more to make the goal so I do have that to look forward to…and they are capping my internet usage starting tomorrow so I’m listening to Pandora and watching Netflix all day today to get my money’s worth….then, I may just cancel Netflix since I’m not going to pay more to the cable company just to watch….more later…

Well…just poured a cocktail and thought I’d sit down to do another one before the race starts…and you know what this one’s about….just trying to make the goal for the month but I do have some things to share…I haven’t said anything about the bike lately but I broke it the other day…the tube that the seat post fits in shattered and I had to drop it off at a welding shop to see if I can get it repaired…still waiting for them to finish it but if they don’t get to it soon I’m going to try another place…I did find a new seat post today so I’ll be ready when the bike is….but, I do miss the exercise and I have had to cut my calorie intake back by almost 600…and, in a 1,500 calorie diet, that doesn’t leave much for the day and I think that is going to leave me feeling like crap for a while…but, that is doable and the car is okay so I guess things could be worse…and, after this one, I only have two to do tomorrow…there are some things I do want to comment on so I guess I should get at it….tomorrow, that is…right now it’s time to just relax for a while and watch the race…

Well….it was a long day yesterday…I guess I say that every day…but the days just seem so long…and I do feel a little crappy today with breaking the bike a couple of days ago…I guess I could get the old Schwinn up and running again but I just don’t feel like it…I hope to get it back from the welder today but I do need to find a new seat post…why is is so hard to find parts in GR? I think I’ll kind of lay low today…the car was acting up a little yesterday but I think I figured it out…at least I hope I have….I do have to go over to Meijers today so I think I’ll look for a post there….maybe check out some bike shops later…but, right now I think I’ll drink more water and hit the couch…

Well…as you can see from the count, I am running out of time to get caught up for this month so I guess I’ll have to cheat a little and write another one on what has been going on…I did go to the beach today and got a little color…but the car ran a little hot and I am concerned that I shouldn’t have had the radiator flushed…the tube to the overflow tank was loose so it may have not had the suction to keep the radiator filled…and it was down a little when it cooled off so I think that may be it…the last car did the same thing so I’m hoping that I’ve figured it out…I did get some color but one thing I am a little confused about is why people with children, who have the whole beach to choose from, always have to set up right next to me and then scream at the top of their voices for hours? I don’t know if I’m getting more sensitive to this kind of stuff but I find myself annoyed when I’m around kids…that’s about it…. I won’t be back for another….but three tomorrow…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I feel pretty crappy today…and I broke the bike which has me depressed, too, but the shortness of this one is more related to to feeling crappy than anything else…I am thinking about going to GH this morning to sit on the beach for a while but I’m not sure I want to feeling this bad….more later after I can get moving and thinking…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did accomplish a few things…you know about the car already so I won’t mention that again and I did sleep okay last night….no dreams to speak of so I won’t…and I do feel good today…so far…with being good for three days in a row…that string will be broken today since it is pool day and that means at least a few cocktails but I am going to be good today since I want to go to the beach tomorrow morning and get some swimming in….I am doing the grocery run today so I can get out the door by 8:30 tomorrow morning….it is supposed to be 97 degrees tomorrow and that is perfect to be at the beach…it will be good to start to get the color evened out and it would be cool if there are some waves….but, that is tomorrow…I will try to come back today for another one or two since the end of the month is coming up fast…

Well..it has been another day and I did take the car in to have the coolant changed but it took longer and cost more that I expected by about 40 bucks since it was so bad…they had to run the flush 4 times to get the brown goo that was in the radiator and everything else out…and it took almost 2 1/2 hours for them to finish it…one good thing..it was so bad that they said to bring it back in 5000 miles so they can flush it again at no charge…so, I guess the waiting and the cost was worth it…I had never seen coolant so bad and it needed to be done so no damage was done to the car…they found what they thought were bb’s in the flush but I think they were the remnants of a water pump that went bad…probably the bearings that failed…it should help it cope when it gets to almost 100 thursday…
