Well…as I expected, it was a long day yesterday but I had a lot of fun with the dinner for G…but, I feel okay this morning…taking it easy, though, for a while to kind of ease into the day….I have read the papers and had a couple of cups of coffee and that has helped…it was cool the Wings won last night but looked really sloppy…at least Hudler got a goal so maybe he will get going this year….there is a huge dilemma in the Michigan sporting world to tonight…the Tigers, Michigan, and the Wings all play tonight so it looks like the remote is going to get a workout….not much else to do today…it looks like a gorgeous morning out there so I can get my ride in early…and I am going to take it easy to try to get the legs to stop hurting…and just smile and look at the colors for a change…hoping to have some more wildlife stories to report….yesterday’s really made me grin….more later…
Oh, today is day 170…only 13 more to go..
Here’s today’s lyric: “I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets…make love to these women…languid and bittersweet…”
Well…it was an interesting day out on the trail…on one of them that runs through a forest…almost t-boned a deer that was running through like a heat seeking missile….I could see it coming from the left and it crossed the trail only about 5 feet in front of me…I wonder how they can run so fast when the woods are as thick as they are there…pretty cool…and then, about 2 miles on, I saw a huge female red-tailed hawk sitting on the bridge where I saw the other raptor a couple of weeks ago…again, pretty neat…
Oh, today was day 169…only 14 more to go to get to my six month goal….and there probably won’t be another one today….and I can’t come up with a song lyric off the top of my head so I won’t do that today, either….
Okay…here’s the lyric: “start on Key Plantain…walk a tropical mile….you’ll see a house in the Spanish style…”
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a lot of stuff done on the car…broke a wrench trying to get the tires off to rotate them but it was one of the lifetime guarantee ones so I got one free and finished it up…I do have to get some more trans lube today since it is low and that may be why it has been shifting kind of stiffly….it was a long night, though with the Tigers beating New York…yay….and having a couple of cocktails so I feel a little slow today…it is going to be a long day today with G’s birthday party and the first Wings game tonight…so, I’d better rest up and get a glass of water…more later…
Well…a long day yesterday..but I already told you about that so I won’t repeat myself…didn’t sleep well again…but that shouldn’t be a surprise….the weather has been nice but I think I may have to wash my car again…I didn’t know there were so many bugs still out there…the trip to Mt P coated the front of it and the windshield and that is kind of bugging me…oh…that was bad and I didn’t event think of it….it just came out…not much to do today…I do need to rotate some tires on the wreck and check the trans oil, and eat something since I really didn’t have much yesterday with all of the traveling…more later…
Well…I was going to come back and do a political one but really the only thing you need to know about right now is the Occupy! protests that are going on around the country..it is the center/left revolt that I have been predicting for the last year and hoping would happen. But, that’s not what this one is about…it was C’s 40th birthday today and I had to make the run to Mt. P to hang out with him for a while so that took up most of my day and I just got back and had dinner…now I’m going to have a cocktail and watch a little tv for a while….the old wreck made it again but I don’t know how many it has left in it….okay, I’m going to go take it easy for a while…200 miles in one day takes a lot out of me…
Well…up really early this morning since it was just not worth it to try to get back to sleep….and there were no dreams to speak of so that was a little disappointing…but I guess I’ll live through it….it was a nice day yesterday and I did get a few things done…the bike looks a lot better with the cleaning and I did the winter cleaning on the car, too, which was less work than I expected…but it will make me smile when I get in it this morning. I am just loving this last gasp of good weather but I know the transition to fall is coming fast and it can’t last…it is cool to watch the daily progression to color in the trees when I make the last stop in the park on the hill but it also reminds me that another year is coming to a close and I’m getting older…but that is going to happen whether I think about it or not…so I think I won’t…more later….
Well…a kind of fun day yesterday but I’m still trying to get over the bug that has been troubling me over the past couple of weeks and that is starting to irritate me somewhat…still have the coughing and sore throat and feel a little warm….so, I think I’ll just take it easy today and rest up…I do need to clean the car and bike, though, so I may have to do that while the weather is still nice. It was a pretty good Tigers game last night and I am looking forward to them maybe finishing up the Yankees tonight…it would be cool if they didn’t waste such a good season by going out in the first round…I will be back later for a political one since there are some developments that I need to comment on…more later…
Okay…I did forget that I am up to 166 days on the bike…under 20 more to go to get to 183…yay…
I forgot today’s song lyric, too…so here it is: “We blew off work cause the sky was so beautiful…and headed north for a three hour tour…you cracked a beer..then you put some music on…”
Well…it was a long day yesterday and I don’t really feel that hot right now….it was fun, though, and I finally won at pool after getting beaten for a few weeks…I did make the pork shoulder roast yesterday and it came out really great..I will buy another one of those when they are on sale…not much to do today..recovery is on the top of the list and then a little cleaning if I can muster up the strength…and I need to go out to hulu and see if I can get last night’s episode of “Breaking Bad” since I fell asleep on the couch last night and missed it….more later…
Oh…I forget a couple of things…I will go over 2100 miles on the bike today and it looks like I will get to the 2400 that I had last year…don’t know if I’ll get to 3000 but I’m going to try like crazy…
Here’s today’s song lyric: “so we cheated and we lied and we tested…and we never failed to fail….it was the easiest thing to do…”
Well…just a short one with some trail weirdness that I observed when I was out today….everything just seemed that it was small…there were small mittens and socks that someone has lost…there were small caterpillars and grasshoppers everywhere and many, many, small birds. What does that mean? Absolutely nothing…just an observation..it did make me feel bigger, though, and that’s not a bad thing.
Okay…didn’t have much to say but that so I’ll stop here for now….
Well…running late this morning and, as always, I’m not sure why….I do feel a little crappy today with the Tigers losing last night and there being ice on the car when I went out for the paper this morning…that will push the bike ride back until at least noon but that’s okay….I overdid it last night so I feel crappy and it will take that long to get the coffee to work….I slept okay but it was one of those nights that feels like I didn’t if you can understand that…just feel weird today and I’m not sure why…maybe I’m dying…maybe not….I did put a pork shoulder roast in the oven for later today but that takes almost 4 hours and I’m not sure what it’s going to be like…might have used too much garlic since the whole place smells like it but since it’s the first time I’ve done one of those I’ll just have to wait and see….okay…..I need to head back to the couch before I melt into the chair so I’ll be back later….
Here’s today’s lyric: “Katy tried…I was halfway crucified…I was on the other side of no tomorrows…”
