April 14th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I planned to feel pretty crappy today…and the plan worked so this one is going to be short…it was pretty cool that Bertuzzi stepped up and pummeled Weber in the Wings game last night…okay…not feeling it so I am going to go back to the couch and wait for the temp to come up so I can ride…

Okay..it’s later in the day and I have gotten the bike ride in and I am starting to feel better but I think it will be a long term project….I do need to remember to eat more since I think that is part of it….and my right thigh is acting up with that same burning sensation that I’ve had for about a month and it is starting to concern me a little….not much to do today…I think I’ll just lay low here and try to heal up some…might even get the day off from riding if it rains tomorrow…oh, one last thing…last year, the 14th of April was the first day out on the bike…and this year, I’ve already gotten 700 miles in..so, maybe 4000 is possible this summer….

A day of 5’s….

Well…this one could have been titled ‘more trail weirdness” but I just thought the 5’s thing was a little more catchy…out on the bike today, the strangest thing happened…riding through the woods…I saw 5 deer running in a row through the trees…then, further up the trail, I saw 5 ducks in a row paddling down Plaster Creek….then, a little further on, 5 turkeys crossed in front of me…not sure what any of this means but it was pretty cool…

April 13th

Well…yesterday was pretty much a lost day…I did accomplish a couple of things but not enough….but, what is enough? I did forget to do the Red Wings update but that will come later this morning….the car is still running with no noise and that confuses me some…does a car fix itself? This one seems to at times….okay…I’m not feeling it right now so I’m going to stop here and come back later to make some sense…

April 12th

Well…it was a disappointing day yesterday with the Wings losing the first playoff game….but the rest of the day was okay and I have to stay positive…and today will be a good one, I hope, but I need to get the coffee going and load up the slow cooker for later so this one is going to be short for now….I did have dreams in the later part of the night that included travel to either Canada or England…and undercover police….not much else so I don’t know why I’m sharing that. Going to get back to the slow cooker part…be back later for more now that I’ve caught up for the month….

April 11th

Well….it was a day out yesterday…lost at pool but it was a hard fought week so I feel okay about that….another night of post apocalyptic dreams with guns and abandoned houses but I don’t remember the cause of the societal breakdown…it was weird but okay….the car seems to be okay but I think I need to start looking for another one…it is just worn out and rusting away slowly so I think I need to start doing the pre-work to find the Miata…but, not today…I have to do the grocery run to get ready for the Wings first playoff game and I think I’ll just concentrate on that…may have lunch with T today but it’s kind of iffy so I’m not going to count on it…do need to find the Wings gear and get ready for tonight but I do need to ride the bike today if it’s not snowing…right now, though, it’s water and couch time for a few minutes…more later…

April 10th

Well…getting at this one really early today…it’s about 5:30 am but I couldn’t sleep so I thought I do this right now…it was kind of a fun day yesterday with some good news for a change and I don’t know what to think about that…let’s start with the car….went out Sunday to shoot pool with Tom and had what I thought was a rear wheel bearing that started to make noise…but the noise stopped on the way home and hasn’t come back yet…so that was the first good thing…the second one was getting the taxes done and finding that I only owe the feds 200 bucks versus the 2K that I expected….and then, last night, I had a nice night out with G and we laughed a bunch with no arguments….all in all, a pretty good day as my days go…didn’t sleep at all, though, but I’ll take that as a trade off any day…not much to do today…I am going to take a day to just smile at the sky today and maybe get that spider alert completed…it is going to be too cold to go out on the bike today and I think my right thigh ( really, both of them) can use the rest. I will get back here later for another one and since politics has been kind of boring lately, I may have to branch out to other topics…should do one on the Wings since the playoffs start tomorrow…more later….

April 9th

Well…it was a long day yesterday…was going to shoot pool with Tom but forgot that the bars were closed…at least some of them…and one of the rear wheel bearings on the car started to make noise…but, by the time I got home, the noise had gone away….I am going to check it out today but I don’t have the tools to take it apart anymore so I’m not sure what I’m going to do…maybe just not drive it…who knows? I feel kind of crappy today but I know it’s a bug this time…so, I’m going to go back to the couch and heal up for a while….

Okay…got the workout in and feel a little better but I’m still sweating like crazy so I know I have something…I may even skip the bike ride…I did read the online papers but it still isn’t enough to get good topics so I may have to go back to the real ones to keep this thing going…yep….it is a bug….my stomach has gone to hell and I am sweating standing still….so, I am going to stop here and head back to the couch…more later…

April 8th

Well…running normally today with Man U on and last week’s Mad Men coming on in a minute…yep, a pretty boring life when those kind of things excite me…but it does help pass the time while I wait for the temp to come up enough to go out….it was cold riding out to get the paper this morning and the wind was just brutal….I did have a little fun yesterday with meeting the twins and V over at Logan’s but the rest of the night was kind of a letdown…the Wings lost in a shootout and that puts them on the road for the first round of the playoffs….okay…I’ll be back later…want to watch some of the match…

Just a few things…

Well..getting ready to watch the Wings last game of the year and thought I’d come back and talk about sports and maybe a few other things…I am kind of torn about the Wings and whether or not they should kind of tank today…if they lose today and finish in 6th, they will get a much easier west coast team than if they win and finish fourth…but then, that means 10:30 games that I won’t make it through…a conundrum to say the least…I did get the bike ride in already but I have injured my left thigh and it hurts even with ibuprofen….so maybe the cold days that are coming are a good thing and I can rest and let it heal…okay…it’s getting to 1 and the start of the game so I’ll stop here…

April 7th

Well…it was kind of lost day yesterday since I felt so crappy all day and I think I may have a bug or the allergies are flaring…have been coughing a ton and my head feels like it’s full of concrete so that can’t be from the cocktails the other night….and I feel warm but that can be from not eating enough, too, so I’m not sure what to do about it….I am running late today for no other reason than I bought the papers today and have been reading them…it is nice to have T back in town from her vacation….it just seems right…no dreams to speak of but I also slept as badly as I can remember so that is part of it…not much to do today…I do have a spider alert in the bathroom that has to be dealt with and the Wings play their last game of the season before the playoffs start next week so I have to watch that…and Ferris State is in the NCAA hockey championship game later in the day that I’ll have to watch…and maybe out for a couple with the twins later in the day…I’m still sitting here cold and sweating so there must be a cause….since I only did one yesterday, I’ll come back for another today…not sure what the topic will be yet but it will be something…more later…

Okay…a milestone passed this week and I forgot to mention it….on the 3rd, I had been doing this for two years….and almost 1600 posts….not sure if that means anything…but that’s a hell of a lot of words to write….
