Well…finally got all the packing done and have the ride to the airport confirmed so now all I have to do is worry that my garment bag is too big to carry on…I’ve done it quite a few times but it looks like they revised how big your carry on can be…oh, well…all I can do is try it and see if they force me to check it….and spend more money that I don’t have….it has been a weird couple of days getting ready and I just want the trip to get started…I guess I’m just not the traveler that I used to be and being gone 5 days is going to be about to the limit for me….so, with that said, this will probably be the last one until next week…I do have one idea percolating that I might get to but I’m not sure…

September 4th
Well…I know, running late again today and today I’ll blame it on packing for Seattle…but, that’s not really true…have just been distracted lately and I know it has to do with flying for the first time in over 10 years….and, today is two of my son’s birthdays and I have to pay my cell bill before I go and I have to prep this place…just too much to do…so, this one is going to be short…have to confirm my ride to the airport tomorrow morning and figure out what to do if that fell through…more later…
September 3rd
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday and there really is no excuse but I was on a total veg day and didn’t really do anything but watch sports all day….so, it was okay but today I need to get moving and get the clothes ready for the trip to Seattle Wed…so, that means I will be at least 10 under for the month since I am not taking my computer with me and there will be no posts from wed until Monday…then, I’ll try to get caught up but I’m not going to promise anything…I am trying to match the food on hand here with my travel schedule so that might mean a fast food day on tues but I’m not sure I want to do that since it will be all fast food for 5 days and I’m not sure how I’ll react to that….I will be back later for more and try to do at least three a day today and tomorrow…more later…
September 2nd
Well…sitting here watching the F-1 race from my favorite track, Spa in Belgium, and thought I’d take a minute and get this one done…it was another sports day yesterday and I think I’m getting burned out on it…but today is the same with the race, Man U, drag racing, and then the cup race later…slept okay last night after falling asleep on the couch and even with the cocktails last night, I feel okay today…but, there won’t be any accomplishments with all of that stuff going on…so, I’m going to veg it out today…more later…
September 1st
Well…running as late as I ever have today but I have great excuses that I won’t get into right now…it was a huge sports day yesterday and I think I strained a finger flipping back and forth last night…and it looks like another one of those today…haven’t even gotten to the newspapers yet and it is 11:30…so I am going to go do that right now and come back later for more…
Last one for the month…
Well…another month has gone by and at least this time I didn’t have to cheat to get to the goal…I know I’ve been kind of fixated on the lies coming out of the repubs lately but they need to be highlighted…but, not in this one…just going to meander around a little and maybe do a summary of the month…I can’t remember a nicer summer and a better one to purchase a Miata…not sure what it is going to be like over the winter but I’ve wanted to get back into a rear wheel drive car…it is going to need new tires since I can spin the ones on the car even if it’s a little wet….maybe I’ll just hope for a winter like last year…almost ready to go out to Seattle next week but I’m still not sure if the back will hold up to 18 holes of golf…just hitting 60 balls yesterday has left me sore and stiff but the ibuprofen is cutting it…it has been a nice August but getting to the first of September depresses me as always when I have to pay my rent…not much has happened this month that I can remember except Neil Armstrong dying and the repubs lying…I was going to go back to the life post to add another part but I think I’ll do that here…there was a grasshopper alert yesterday on the trail with clouds of them flying up as I rode through them….pretty weird to have them smacking off my face and chest and even hitching a ride for a ways…okay…that’s enough for now…need to get a few things done before the State game tonight…
August 31st
Well…I just can’t understand why I’m always running late over the past few weeks…oh, well….I guess I’ll either live with it or do something to change it…not sure which….it was an okay day yesterday with getting a chance to hang out with T for a while…and I ran into K out at Kohl’s and that was kind of strange…it looks like a day off from the bike today since my legs were so dead yesterday that it was hard to get the whole ride in…I need to go run some errands so I’ll end here…I’ll be back later to add to this one…
August 30th
Well…it was just another day yesterday with a cocktail night so I do feel a little slow today…but I slept okay and may even have eaten enough so that might help today…I was just so tired yesterday it had to be undereating…or the allergies…not sure which. I don’t remember the dreams so they must have been unremarkable….today is going to be a little busy with putting the clubs in the car to go out and hit a bucket this morning to see if my back is going to hold up for the tournament out in Seattle…and then I need to meet up with T and G and D later so it is going to be busy….I may take the day off from working out and riding to try to make the pain go away…have been hurting all over….more later…
August 29th
Well…it was a busy day yesterday with all of the errands I had to run..put almost 100 miles on the car running around but today looks quite a bit easier…slept okay but tossed and turned all night and I am still tired this morning…part of it is only eating 3 tacos for the day yesterday but I am going to try to do better today…I do need to make the grocery run today because I am tired of tacos and chicken…really, I’m tired of everything but I do need fuel so I will force myself to eat today…the car has been perfect since I fixed it and has been fun to cruise around in…might go down to K-zoo today but I’m still not sure I want to hang around with the old folks in the Miata club…I do need to put the clubs in the car and get out to the range since I’ll be playing golf in Seattle and I don’t want to look ridiculous…more later…
August 28th
Well…another pretty normal day yesterday but I am sore all over and I can’t figure out why….slept okay but was up at 3 again so I am a little worn out…it may have to do with not eating enough yesterday…I don’t think a chicken thigh and a small baked potato is enough but I’m having trouble eating….so, I’ll try to do better today….I did have dreams about some weird place that had lots of vodka and mean people but the rest of the details have faded already so it must have been somewhat painful….not much to do today,,,I do have to run out to Kohl’s to look for a dress shirt for the Seattle trip and to see if I can find some new shoes…and then meet up with T later in the day….I hope I get some energy or I may have to skip the bike ride today…
