Some updates….

Well…running one behind for the month so I thought I’d do a short one on some updates…will be getting to 900 miles on the bike since April this weekend…way behind last year but I got to start in January last year with the warm weather so I don’t feel too bad about it…probably won’t get to 3K this year but that’s okay…I did get the oil changed in the car today and i am looking forward to seeing how the Rotella T-6 works…only took about 10 mins and spent 25 bucks all together so that was cool….there were suicide bunnies on the trails again today and they made me laugh like crazy…and I forgot to write about the deer that was trapped in the fences that enclose the trail and I followed it for almost a mile until it disappeared…looks like the group drive with the Miata club might be rained out tomorrow…supposed to be storming all aft and I don’t really want to take the drive unless I can put the top down…that’s it….no more later…

June 25th

Well….it was just another day yesterday and I really don’t remember if anything happened…I did get out in the sun to try to even out the biker tan but that is about it…slept okay last night and with it being a no cocktail night, I feel okay today…was planning to change the oil in the car today but it is finally storming so I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow….and I may get the day off the bike to let the legs heal so that may be a good thing and I won’t have to feel guilty about it….maybe a leisurely read of the papers today with some fresh coffee…it seems that with even being unemployed, I feel stress constantly to be doing something to find work…it is like a black cloud hanging over me all day…so maybe today I can get past it for a couple of hours and just relax…hope so…

June 24th

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…it may have been the heat…or the boredom…or that I just didn’t have anything to say….or, all three..or more…who knows? It was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t really do much other than meet up with a couple of people and make a little money…so, there will be groceries for another week or two…slept okay but I am tired today for some reason…and the heat really might be part of that…really have been trying to eat enough but it is harder than it looks and that may be a reason for the tiredness…was only able to get to 1400 cals yesterday and part of it is that nothing tastes good and it is almost too much effort to cook…maybe I’ll have to spend some cash and get a pizza…I will come back today for more since the supreme court is supposed to have some big rulings today and I do have to comment on them…

June 23rd

Well… sitting here watching the end of the 24 hours of LeMans and thought I’d get this done so I can get right on the bike after it’s over…it was an okay day yesterday…but, I already updated that so I’ll not bore you with more…did sleep okay but my shoulder hurts so I must have slept wrong…it is bad when you can get injured sleeping…guess I’m getting old…and I am just coated from sweating but don’t want to shower until after the ride….and I don’t really have much to do today….more races and probably a nap…and more cleaning if I want to keep up…more later…

Part two…

Well…haven’t been able to think of a political one to do today so I think I’ll just update and see if I can get in the groove…it has been an okay day so far…LeMans has been nice to have on all day and I have gotten some cleaning done finally…the bathroom is now spotless and I got the mat for the bike cleaned and removed a bunch of stains from the carpet…didn’t get to anything else, though, so I am a little disappointed…did get a nice bike ride in and got the squeak fixed again so that made the morning nice…I am counting down to cocktail time here in about an hour and that will be a light one tonight…I am a little frustrated that the storms have fallen apart again today and it looks like nothing across the lake so I guess I’ll just have to wait….might have to run the air later since it is still 85 and that contributed to the uncomfortable sleep last night….okay….done with this for now…

June 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….but the damn storms that I was waiting for fell apart coming over the lake and it looks like the same thing is going to happen today…slept okay but there were spiders that drove me nuts…looks like I have to do a spider sweep today to get rid of them….I do need to eat more since I have been so tired lately and I know it’s from the 1400 cals a day I have been taking in….but, I did buy food today so I have some here and I am going to try to get over 2000 cals today…I am a little excited that LeMans is starting in a few minutes and there is like 15 hours of coverage throughout the day so I will have background noise as I clean…and I do need to clean today…both the bathroom and the kitchen…hell, the whole place needs it so I have work to do today….more later…

June 21st

Well…another long day yesterday but it had a nice, long trip in the Miata in it so that made it okay…slept okay last night but it looks like I may have to run the air the next couple of days since it will be in the upper 80’s the next four…finally getting some summer here and I like it….I do have to remember sunscreen in the car with it this hot, though….the damn squeak is back in the bike but I’m hoping it’s the shock and wd will take care of it…going to be a really good sweat today with it being almost 80 and not nine yet…and going to take a long one today to get the toxins out from the cocktail night last night….not much to do today…pool day, of course, but that is about it….but, need to get the bike ride in right now so More later…

June 20th

Well…had a surprise night out with G last night so I feel like crap today and am running late because of it…..slept okay but that doesn’t help after a night out…and I am running late for an appointment out in Dorr so I need to work out and get the bike ride in right now so I’ll have to come back later and finish this…I do need to make a comment out on Kos first, though….

Okay…I’m back for a few minutes…got the run to Dorr done but he HLA’s were ticking like crazy when I got over to HF to get my brake bleeder…but it went away after the drive back here but I do know it needs an oil change…have to do that next week…I did get a ride in but the bike is squeaking again…damn….might just be the shock, though, since I can feel it through the seat…okay…not feeling it…I will try to get a political one in later….

June 19th

Well…it was another day yesterday and I did get some stuff done…the papers are gone, finally, and I did clean the car but am having a hell of a time getting the haze off the glass…remembered that it is probably the type of paper towel that I used so I will try to fix that today…slept okay last night but I am still tired so I guess I’ll have to remember to eat more…one good thing from last night was that the Griffins won the Calder Cup for the first time and that was pretty cool….not much to do today…going to do a grocery run today since I am really tired of eating the same old crap and need some variety to jumpstart the taste buds….and then re-do the glass to see if I am right about the paper towel….more later…

June 18th

Well…it was another day yesterday but at least lunch with T was fun…but, the rest of the day was the same old bore that it normally is…I should be used to that by now but it still bugs me…slept okay last night but I had dreams that the Miata was rusting away so fast that you could see it and that was really weird…but no plot or anything so it was unsatisfying….it looks like the weather is going to cooperate today so I think I’ll do a complete clean up of the car…just don’t have much else to do so I may just as well be productive there….I might clean, too…the freezer needs to be done and then all the rest of it…yadda, yadda…
