August 8th

Well….another Sunday but it was better than normal…went out to have a couple with K and had fun….it looks like no waves for today so I’m going to get back to the normal routine….feel crappy today and I’m losing my motivation to work out and ride…I wonder if I can take the day off and just veg here and watch a movie…nope, that doesn’t work for me, as you know, the guilts work quite well for me and I’d be thinking of nothing else…not much to do today…I really should keep cleaning this place up but I’m not motivated to that either…oh, well….I’m already one behind for the month so I do need to get moving on that….more later…

August 7th

Well…it’s about 7:45 and I am trying to get going so I can get the bike ride in before the fog burns off….not much of a night last night with just hanging out here but I guess that’s what it is right now….so, I’m going to come back later and build on this one….

Okay…I’m back…had to get the bike ride int an get lunch started…making some Texas style ribs in the foil pouch and it smells good in here…even got some work done…had to clean the shower grout and I wonder how they expect you to use cleaners to do that when you aren’t supposed to have them touch your skin….I feel like I did some damage to the bottoms of my feet since I had to stand in the tub to clean…do they make feet gloves? Hey, I may have just invented something new….the fog was already gone when I went out so it was not the neat visual I was expecting but it was a good ride….waiting for the storms to come here in a few minutes but it look like they are kind of dissipating as they come across the lake….I may have to take a trip out to GH tomorrow if the waves are going to be the 8-10 feet they are predicting…even though I’m getting older, I still love to play in them….

August 6th

Well…yeah, I know, I’m early today but I’ve been up for 15 minutes and I’m already bored so I thought I’d do this before I go out to get the few groceries that I forgot to get Thurs….not much to do today after that, though,….maybe this wasn’t a good idea….I’ll be back in a while….

Okay, got the bike ride in and feel a little better…I think I may have a bug of some sort…I’ve been quite tired lately and only feel good when I’m on the bike….maybe it’s the heat…who knows? I did get another one done and if you’ve been here before, you know that is really unusual for a Saturday…but I had this weird idea pop into my head when I was out riding and had to get it down before I forgot it….looks like another event at the church behind me and there will be noise all day….may have to run the air…more later…

August 5th

Well….it was a long day yesterday and I do feel a little crappy today…I did get to have a couple with T and that was fun….nope…not feeling it…just too depressed about the economy…going to the couch for a minute or longer and will be back later…

Okay…I’m back…got the bike ride in and feel 100% better…I still don’t have much to say right now so I’m going to start lunch, get some stuff done, and read the online papers….I will be back later with more than this….trying to stay current with the count this month…

August 4th

Well…another normal night here at the homestead and I feel a little crappy today but I earned it so I don’t feel that bad about it…there is a lot of political stuff going on and I should be commenting on it and I just might do that later…after all, that’s the purpose of this thing…I did hear from the Post why they dropped me but I still don’t understand it…it was because I write this thing everyday and having it already gives me a “voice” that others don’t have….but everyone has a Facebook page that has much more exposure than I get daily…I really don’t fit into the “poor me” that they were looking for for the series and I think I would not have added to the story they are trying to tell…not much to do today…what do I normally do Thursday? Groceries, of course, since I don’t have any food in the place and I may meet up with T for a minute but that’s about it….I will have more later so come on back…

August 3rd

Well…I finally had something to do last night with going out to have a couple with G but that slid right back into boredom when I got home….had more weird dreams about computers last night and working in an office again but that will never happen so I don’t know where that is coming from….oh, well…I did have some ideas about posts but I forgot them over night…Al Gore was fired up on Countdown last night and I wish we’d see some of that from Obama….one good thing about this whole mess is that the results of this debt deal are being rejected by business with the Dow falling 265 points after it was signed and people are waking up to the fact that….oh, that is for a political one later…kind of mixing up the purposes here….not much to do today…have to keep getting rid of stuff here and cleaning but that is about it….more later….

August 2nd

Well….another night of staying home and it is getting to be quite wearing not having anything to do….I did have weird dreams that had guns, bombs, and lots of weird birds in them and it was kind of odd that I was able to go back to the same dream every time I went back to sleep. It was kind of entertaining, though, and nice to finally have some after there being none for so long. It looks like rain this morning so I might have to take the day off from riding and that might not be a bad thing…I have been having pain in my left leg and I think it may be that the nerve is being pinched by the seat….not much to do today….I do need to clean this place up….my fridge looks like a war zone and needs a deep scrubbing so that will be the plan for the morning and I have to fight the ant invasion I’m having….I am so disappointed in Obama that I will need to write about that later so come on back…I may even make sense today…

August 1st

Well…it was a cocktail night last night and I don’t feel that hot today…so the promises that I made yesterday of increased lucidity and relevance will have to wait until later today when I feel better….the first of the month is always the worst day since I have to write the check for the rent so I think I’m going to just try to repair the wounds and veg. I don’t have a lot to do today anyway….might even skip the papers and coffee… I am going to try to stay on track for two a day so come back later and there will be another one….

Okay, I’m back…

Well…it has been a day…my nice young neighbor moved out today…back home to her parents in Indiana since she lost her job and it was a little hard to see her go since she was the quietest, nicest neighbor I’ve had since I’ve been here…but things change and I have to accept that they do…had a nice day today…won at pool and now I’m waiting for 7 to come to have a cocktail and relax for the rest of the day…no political stuff today…I’m just waiting for the debt deal to be done before I comment on it and there really hasn’t been anything else that has grabbed me today….I am still a little chagrined that the Post dropped me from the unemployment project without any reason…I would think they would have let me know what the disqualifier was but that’s life…sometimes you don’t get to find this stuff out…I’ll live through it….it was nice to get to my goal for the month and there were no placeholders to inflate the count…so, a new month starts tomorrow and I’ll try to be more lucid and relevant..but, you know me….I try but I can be really inconsistent….see you tomorrow…

July 31st

Well…another month gone and I really don’t remember where it went…it is my youngest son’s birthday today and I will have to talk to him for a minute…and I do have pool with Tom today and it’s nice to have something to do…I am going to cook some ribs this morning in the foil pack while I’m out on the bike but I have the F1 race to look at first and since it is a wet race it should be fun. I will be back later for more…
