Well…I have been trying to remember to do a trail weirdness one every week but my memory has not been doing it’s job lately…today there was some weirdness that I really want to report before I forget it, though, so here goes…as the title says today was suicide bird day on the trail…with all kinds of birds just darting out in front of me all along the trail…and not just one type of bird, either…there were blue jays, sparrows, goldfinches, and one robin who cut out of the trees, turned right down the trail and flew just in front of my bike for at least 20 feet…close enough that I could have reached out and caught it if I was just a little faster….not behavior that I have seen in a while…or maybe ever….that, along with the female red-tailed hawk who sat about 6 feet away from me while I had a water break the other day…birds are going crazy and I am not sure why….

July 22nd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday with a nice little running conversation with T that made me smile…first day of recovery after the birthday week and I am already feeling much better so that is a good thing…sleep was crappy so that kind of offsets being good but I am going to go until Thurs being good just to see how it works out….I am really sore from jumping in the pool Sat at K’s using all the new muscles but I guess aspirin will take care of that.,..I hope, I do need to get some stuff done today…mostly cleaning since I have been really lazy about that lately but I think baby steps will help…I do need to go over to Kos and do a couple of comments…more later….
July 21st
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had some fun at K’s….I am really worn out today but it is the start of the being good week so I will start to get better soon and should feel great in a couple of days…it was a long birthday week….slept okay last night but no dreams again..oh, well…I am behind on these so I will need to come back for two more today but right now I am going to get on the bike and burn out some of the toxins….more later…
July 20th
Well…it was a good day yesterday but I got my butt kicked at pool…just couldn’t shoot at all but that’s okay…I am happy that some of the heat is gone…it was getting wearing to have it over 90 all the time and to be constantly damp…looks to be a little nicer today but we’ll see after I get out on the bike in a couple of minutes….today is the last day of the birthday week and I am kind of looking forward to no more cocktails for a week or so…just feel so bloated and I am tired, too, so it will be good to be good…not much to do today…I do have a little bash over at K’s this aft but that won’t last too long and then just a veg day the rest of the day….should take a look in the freezer to see what to thaw for tomorrow…more later…
July 19th
Well….getting an early start today today for some reason…feel a little crappy after a cocktail night but I did break down and run the air early last night…just got tired of being damp and walking on damp carpets…slept okay but again no dreams….I did get a lot done yesterday so I feel okay about that and I’m not sure what is going on today….Tom’s shift might have changed so there may be no pool today but it looks like there may be storms to watch so that will be cool…and then the weather breaks tomorrow…I do have to do another grocery run today but that is about it…more later…
July 18th
Well…running kind of normal today but barely survived the day yesterday with it being so hot…and the sleep was really crappy again for the same reason…looks like more of the same today but I have lots of stuff to do so we’ll see how that works out…work around here and then out for some errands so it looks like I’m going to skip the workout this morning, get the work done and then get out on the bike….I can always work out tomorrow and sat to make up for it….or maybe just eat veggies and call it good….more later…
July 17th
Well…running really late again today…I did have to go out for some groceries but I could have done this before….but, the heat is taking a lot out of me and the lack of sleep is not helping…might have to run the air tonight to just dry this place out…it was weird this morning when someone left me a gel seat cover hanging on my door….not sure if I’ll use it or not but it sure was different….I am sitting here at 9:30 and I’m already sweating through my clothes…it’s going to be a hot ride out there and I should get going before it gets too hot….other than that…not much to do today…going to just lay low and try to not dehydrate too much…more later…
July 16th
Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another yesterday…I have an excuse…and you know it…birthday and all of that…had a nice lunch with T and then out to dinner with G and then out for drinks after that so I am worn out today…and not feeling any different so that is a good sign…it is already hot outside (and inside) so it is going to be a chore to get on the bike…after all of the festivities from yesterday…I am looking forward to just having a normal recovery day today and then back at it tomorrow…not much to do today…as I said, just a normal recovery day and I think I will just let the day go as it goes…no ambition for anything else…more later…
July 15th
Well…the big day is finally here and I am still not sure how I feel about it…I mean, being 60 is okay…I really don’t feel any different than I did yesterday but it is still that I’m not in my fifties anymore…and it feels like the possibilities that were there in my 50’s are gradually going away….slept okay last night but it just doesn’t seem to mean much…okay, not feeling this right now so I’m going over to Kos and do a couple of comments…more later…
Just one last one while I’m still in my fifties…
Well…I was hoping that this one would be the 2500th one that I’ve done…that would be some kind of cool coincidence..but, it’s not…only 2453 so I guess it’s nothing special…it’s just kind of weird to think that I’m not going to be in my 50’s any more in just a few hours….that is something that I am having a little trouble wrapping my head around….oh, well….I did take the drive down to the Gilmore museum today and it was kind of fun…only had three cars from the club on the drive but it was cool that we had an NA, an NB, and an NC on the drive so it was kind of a rolling show of the evolution of the Miata….other than that, it has been uneventful today….I think I’ll go make the final cocktails as a fifty something….and try not to dread the big 6-0….might even stay up til midnight just to see it come in….who knows?
Okay…had to add this Pink Floyd lyric…”The sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older…shorter of breath, and one day closer to death…”
