Well…have been working around here all day to make the place presentable since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings…and, the place really did need it so that’s okay….I did do a little work on the bike today…just got so tired of the grips being worn out and turning to jelly and having to keep pushing them back on all the time that I bought a new set today…a really cool set of gels that are supposedly ergonomically correct….put them on and they look pretty cool…and the neat thing was that Meijers had the ones that I have been looking at online and for the same price…so, we’ll see how they work when I get the ride in tomorrow….and, I bought some white lithium grease to see if that will help me get rid of the squeak in the seat post…that is annoying as hell….we’ll see….

Well…it was a day yesterday and I was completely lazy so I didn’t come back for another one and now I’m feeling guilty about that…and I have to clean this place up since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings game tonight and that should take all day….slept okay last night but the temp in here was marginal since I forgot to put the heat back on….probably should go out and get some snacks and beer for tonight but I need to work out first and get the bike ride in…so I probably should get to it…more later…
May 5th
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had some money come in so that perked me up a bit…it was a cocktail night that got out of hand so I feel a little crappy today…nope, a lot crappy so this one is going to be short for now….I do need to get out on the bike before Man U comes on at 10 but I just can’t get to enthused about it…slept okay but no dreams…okay…not feeling it….back later for more…
Okay…have started to feel normal for me so I thought I’d come back for a little more…there was a weird thing that happened this morning leaving for the ride…there was a stupid duck just standing in the middle of the road quacking at me, cars, and anything else that went by…kind of strange…I did get the ride in and felt much better afterward…and I made lunch and now the napcar race is on and that appears to be my only ambition for today..I do have an idea for another one so I may come back for it later…
May 4th
Well..as you can see…I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday…the brain just has not been working well enough to be able to write something that is up to the quality that I want…so, I didn’t do it…it was an okay day yesterday but this morning the clutch pedal started to do weird things and I think the cylinders may need to be replaced…hope not…worked okay coming back from Meijers but it got really soft pulling into the parking lot…just don’t want to work on it…slept okay last night but I am still a little worn out from the bug….I’m sure it’s not from the cocktail night last night…it is going to be a busy day today with races, the Kentucky Derby, the Wings and Dr. Who….yep a total slackers day so I do need to get out on the bike so the guilt is not overwhelming….more later…
May 3rd
Well…it was a really bad day yesterday…nothing happened but I felt like crap all day and it must have been a bug of some sort…still feel crappy today but I am going to get out on the bike in a few minutes anyway…yep, stupid but I just can’t stay in and not ride….slept okay last night with it being a cocktail night and there were dreams but I waited too long to do this so I don’t remember them…oh, well….didn’t get anything done except making chili but it came out good so I guess that will have to do…today looks like a low key kind of day, too…going to stay in low gear most of the day and just try to feel better….make some chicken thighs on the grill and try to eat something…food just doesn’t appeal to me right now and I know it’s part of feeling crappy but forcing food down is not the answer either….more later…
May 2nd
Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish so I thought I’d get to this one….it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…my brother stopped over to hang out for a while and brought beer….who sells beer in a nine-pack? That’s what he brought and I thought it was a little weird….did sleep okay last night…had weird dreams about the Miata and a 62 Chevy with a 409 in it that I was jumping with my car and when I went away for a few minutes, someone stole both cars and just left the battery from mine behind….weird….I did have a little revelation coming back from the ride yesterday….my neighbors Prius was parked next to my car and it looked like my car was gone until I got right next to it…when your car is much smaller than a Prius, you know it pretty damn small…..not much to do today…just got the grocery run done and I do need to wash the car at some point…although, if it’s going to rain tomorrow, that doesn’t make much sense….more later….
May 1st
Well…running late again today and with it being the first of the month, another trip to the dumps is in order and is going to happen….I just hate this day…especially with no money coming in….oh, well…was up late last night watching the first Wings playoff game that they lost, and then back up at 5:30 so it was a short night….don’t feel that bad today, though, since I was good and that will continue through the rest of the week….I did have some dreams last night but they were jumbled and I don’t really remember them so I won’t comment….yesterday was kind of a bore with not much happening….I did get a long ride in with almost all sprint so it does feel good to be getting the legs and lungs back…and it was nice to be able to go out right after working out…and it looks like the same today before the weather goes back to crap for the weekend…oh, well….not much to do today…going to clean and cook but that’s about it…more later….
April 30th
Well…it was and okay day yesterday and had some fun going out with G for a couple…and I was good when I got home so I feel okay today…but I do have a little bug since I can feel it in my chest and I am a little warm…running late this morning since I did need to get a haircut and wanted that done before I started anything else…I am getting excited for the Wings to start the playoffs tonight but that is going to be stand-alone topic for later to get to the goals so I’ll stop there….not much to do today…have to get going on the workout in a minute and then get a ride in if the rain lets up enough…that may have to wait for later but that’s okay….I do need to do three of these so come on back….more later…
April 29th
Well…running late again and just can’t get motivated to do much…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much….mostly vegged the day away with a bunch of reading and writing…slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today…think the allergies are hitting their stride and I have been coughing and sniffling…maybe a cold? Who knows? The brain is not working too well right now….not much to do today…I am going to work out and get a bike ride in this morning but the rest of the day is going to be only as necessary…not going to try to accomplish anything today but survival…more later…
April 28th
Well…it was a really long day yesterday with staying up to watch the Wings game…not really staying up..it started at 7 and was over by 10 and I did got to bed at the normal time but I feel like I stayed up late…yep, cocktail night last night so I am running a little slow today so far…and the rain is coming in so I won’t get a bike ride in this morning to help me feel better…maybe this aft…who knows? I did take the car out for a drive yesterday aft and that was fun..got sunburned again so I really do have to remember to get the screen out….not much to do today….I am going to just veg out the day with Man U playing in an hour or so and then grill some ribs later on…and come back for another one since I am running out of days and I am one behind….
