June 4th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…but the third of 4 kids is moving out of state today and I’m happy he is going…it’s time for him to try some new things and get out of GR….and it gets me another place to visit that I haven’t been to yet….but it is still bittersweet….I wasn’t good last night so I need my coffee and papers…I’ll be back later with more…

I know…it took a long time to get back here but I was feeling like crap all morning and then I had to take a nap to try to feel human again…which I am, kinda, I was so good all week and then K tempted me yesterday and it was time to give in…but now I remember why I was being good and I’ll only have one more day of badness before I become good again…the bike ride was a killer today even at 9am and I came back just whipped…I did see my first snake of the year on the trail today which made me smile….it is getting hot today and I know I’ll have to run the air to sleep tonight..don’t know if I’ll have anything else to say today but I’ll try later….

June 3rd

Well..it was an interesting day yesterday…not really, didn’t do much but lie out in the sun…and it only took about 30 mins to get scorched to the point I needed aloe to keep from peeling…yep, lead a very boring life….but today might be better…I have hope anyway….I do have things to do today starting with heading for G’s first in a little while and then to the normal routine but that will be broken up with drinks with K later in the aft….I have been good three nights in a row now…nope, four nights in a row and I am starting to feel better…but still no sleep but I’m waiting for the body to reset so I guess I’ll just have to be patient…I’ll be back in a while to add to this one and for others….I think the cobwebs are clearing a little and that means you’ll have more to see later…

June 2nd

Well… I was good last night and feel pretty good today…but we’ll see if that continues past the morning…I sure hope so…I am getting tired of being tired all the time….it was just a normal night last night…I did watch the movie “The Fighter” last night and it was just so much better than the “Black Swan”…so I’m two movies into the oscar nominated ones from last year..I think I’ll have to look up that list so I can order the right one next time…I did watch part of the Stanley Cup playoffs, too, but I just can’t get interested with the Wings not in it….sleep was okay last night but still no dreams and I miss that….not much to do today…might get the clubs out and go hit a bucket of balls but my elbow is a little sore so I might just rest it and take it easy…not quite warm enough to go to the beach but it looks like next week will be better…I will get more out today since the nonsense of the repubs is starting to get deep….

June 1st

Well…had a fun day yesterday with lunch with T and then out to play pool with Tom…and I won for the first time in a month so that was the icing on the cake…I was good when I got home….the first day of no cocktails at home so I should feel better today…and I think I do but I just got up so I’m not sure yet…did not sleep at all which I know is a result of being good and I know it will take a few days to get back into the groove and reset the body. I do have some stuff to do today…have to rebuild the door on the car since the duct tape is coming apart and then the regular routine…looks like a nice day out there already and I need to get going since I’m already running late…there will be more later even if I have to force it since I barely made my numbers for last month…so, more later…

May 31st

Well…yeah, I know…I’m not doing my job here but I just haven’t had much to say lately…I did have an okay day yesterday but I did have to turn the air con on to sleep last night…I just can’t get the picture out of my head that there was money going out of my wallet every time the thing came on…oh, well…went over to K’s yesterday for a little party and had some fun and I feel quite crappy this morning but today starts the being good for the summer phase so you won’t hear that from me anymore. I do have lunch with T today and I am looking forward to it and to the storms we are supposed to have later. I did get the bike cleaned up yesterday..it was just coated in crud and I didn’t even want to ride it….it is starting to look like it has the 7,000 miles on it that it does but that’s okay….that’s about it for now…I will be back later for politics and other stuff…

Okay…just thought I’d add a little to this one before I take off and go to lunch…..it was a really nice bike ride this morning but the wind was up again which always hurts like crazy…at least the real wind waited to come until I got back here….I don’t know if it’s me or not, but people seem to be getting nicer…yep, I’ll bet you never thought you’d hear that out of me but it appears that I’m seeing far fewer scowls and idiot behavior out there when I’m on my bike…or it could be that these people have seen me if full crazy mode on the bike before and it makes them laugh that an old guy like me tortures himself every day….don’t really care which…just hope it continues because it helps my mood considerably….more later….but it has been a slow news week again so nothing has outraged me…geez maybe I’m getting too mellow to keep doing this….

May 30th

Well…a long day yesterday with all of the racing but it did get kind of boring at the end of the napcar race…haven’t been feeling that hot lately…just so damn tired all of the time but that might be from boredom….who knows? I am looking forward to today but I’m not going to do a lot..it is supposed to be hot and I’ll finally get the chance to get the biker’s tan evened out if it doesn’t rain. Not much else to say right now so I won’t say it. More later…

May 29th

Well…was not good last night so I feel kind of crappy…so this one is going to be really short while I wait for the coffee…I’m done….be back later….

Okay…my humanity is returning after the first cup of coffee but the brain is still not working that well so you’ll have to bear with me…I do feel bad that Man U got just whipped on yesterday but I really expected them to lose so it was no surprise….in the middle of watching the Monaco GP which is the first of the three races to see today…the best day of the year for us race fans…I have to get the bike ride in after the GP since Indy starts at 11..I’m still like a little kid about Indy every year and can’t wait for 11…be back later with more…

May 28th

Well…it was a day yesterday, but that’s about all I’ll say for it. I did finally get back out on the bike and the legs were turbocharged after taking a couple of days off. Other than that, it was quite a bore of a day but I did manage to amuse myself somewhat. Man, when you can’t even remember what you did yesterday, your days must be really boring…or too many cocktails but that’s not it…I hope. There are things to do today…I have this to write while I wait for the coffee, for example…then qualifying for the Monaco GP at 8, then the big game with Man U and Barcelona slugging it out for the Champions League title…and then the nationwide race….it might be easier to stay amused with the help of this stuff…okay, the coffee is done so I’m going to settle in on the couch, read the papers, and veg…more later…

May 27th

Well…I didn’t get back with the musings as I promised but you know that’s not unusual…I did have an okay day yesterday even with the rain…my legs are pain free for the first time this year so that is a plus to not riding for two days…..but, I’ll be stupid and go out for 20+ today and they’ll hurt later. The heat should not be running at the end of May….and I should be able to lie out in the sun….okay, no flow again today so I’m going to stop for a couple of minutes and hit the couch…more later…

Back again….and the brain still isn’t working but I thought I’d try again…not much to do today…got the grocery run done yesterday to beat the crowds so all I have to do is ride the bike…everyone is out of town so it looks like I’ll be hanging out alone and that is not bad when I take into account that Man U is playing in the champions league final sat aft and then there are wall to wall races Sunday so I’ll have plenty to do…it will be nice to have this place open after cooking yesterday…it does kind of smell like cooking and I need to air it out….still more later…

May 26th

Well…a rainy day yesterday that kept me off the bike and I am a little cranky for it…it looks like today is going to be the same and will just compound the crankiness…but I guess my legs can use the rest for a couple of days…they hurt a lot less with the day off so maybe it’s a good thing…I can make up for it tomorrow and through the weekend. Last night made it three in a row out and I am getting a little tired..but there was a good reason to go out with G getting the promotion she was working for and being pretty happy…but I need to take a couple of days off to get the liver working again and cut down on the calories. Not much to do today…going to do the grocery run to avoid the crowds that will be out for the holiday weekend and I need to get some new food…I am getting tired of chicken but have some thawed that I do need to cook today….but then burgers and tacos for the weekend..I do have to grill, too, so that will give me something to do….having it rain so much is just too depressing…more later…
