Well…getting started early today and feel pretty good so I will be going out for coffee and papers today..yay….had a good day yesterday but didn’t do much but the normal workout stuff…there are brand new aches and pains to deal with…I was wondering where the chronic pain was going to be this summer…last year it was my right elbow that hurt all summer and this year it looks like my right wrist is going to be the place…more tendonitis but the grinding and popping is kind of funny when I can hear it….yep, little things make me laugh…not much to do today…might have a couple with K later and I know I need to start finding other things to do to relieve the boredom some…but that’s my problem…I will have at least two more for later today since I’m behind in the count for the month…

Well….out with G last night and then I was not good when I got home so I’m running late today….and I don’t have too much to say right now so I’m not going to say it…have to let the brain fire up for a while so I’m heading back to the couch for a glass of ice water and some veggin…going to skip coffee today since I just can’t warm up to Biggby…well…I’ll think about it for the next half hour or so and then decide….more later..
Okay, I’m back after getting the exercise I needed to clear out the fog and I feel quite a bit better….the bike ride was fun but the sunglasses fogged up when I got going…it rained a bit, too, and it was not bad even though it was only about 60…I am going to try to get another one out but skipping the coffee and newspapers takes away most of my topical information for the day…so I’m going to get to the online news and see if there is something there…
June 15th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a lot done plus laid out in the sun and got some color…I discovered that “the Song Remains the Same” is on Netflix and I may have annoyed my neighbors some with playing it through the stereo…I didn’t have it up that loud, though, so I hope I don’t get a complaint letter from the management. I had a bunch of ideas for posts last night but I don’t remember them..I should have done a placeholder I guess. I hope I’ll remember them later today…not much to do today…need to cook some of the 10 pounds of chicken I got yesterday for lunch and then just the normal stuff…out with G later, too I think, but that’s about it….more later…
June 14th
Well…I was extremely good last night and I woke up today full of vim and vigor…getting through the night was kind of a chore, though, but I did get a lot of stuff done…got the bike maintained, did the dishes, and cleaned some more…boring, huh? Oh, well…even Netflix is starting to be boring so I think I need to start figuring out new things to do…I was so desperate last night that I re-read the Sunday paper and was looking through every corner trying to find a book I haven’t read in a while…I thing I may need to talk to T to get another bag o books to get my brain working on every level again…I think it did that once but it’s been a while….not much to do today…I do need to clean up the car since the pollen and dust on it is about an eighth of an inch thick and the old thing just looks better clean…that’s about it, though and fighting the boredom is going to take some creativity that I just may be able to muster…more later…
June 13th
Well…a normal Sunday yesterday with races and just taking it easy…one of the best F1 races I’ve seen in a while with rain, crashes, and a run from the back to the win for Jensen Button…didn’t do much else but cook and I think I have the foil pouch chicken zeroed in finally since it came out great…moist and tender…yummy….not much else the rest of the day and I think if I add up the sleep between the ups and downs, I only got about 4 hours…I know that’s not sustainable but still don’t know what to do about it. Maybe tonight will be better…not much to do today….I do have work to do around here today so I just may be busy most of the day and that will help…I am finally getting the winter weight off and the goal of 160 looks attainable in the next month or so if I keep up the work…at least that is something I can enjoy…I will have at least one more for today but I’m not sure if I’m going out for coffee today…still can’t warm up to Biggby but it’s the only place out here so I guess I’ll keep trying…more later…
June 12th
Well…a relatively nice day yesterday that I just enjoyed with not a lot to do….it has been kind of cool to have the 24 hours of LeMans on all day so I could see racing whenever I wanted to…and having cable internet let me live stream it when it wasn’t on the tv…so, I’m still watching it right now for the next 30 mins and then out for a bike ride…but I think I’ll wait a while since it’s only 51 degrees and that is a bit iffy for going out in a t shirt….not much to do today…still haven’t heard from K this weekend so maybe today…if not, there are three races on this aft that I can watch and I do have some work to do around here so I won’t be too bored…just a little…I did get three out yesterday so I’m not sure if there will be more today…we’ll see…more later…
Just some extra stuff…
Well…it was a good idea to take the day of biking yesterday…my legs were turbocharged this morning and I did the longest loop without tiring…it just makes me feel so good that I can still do this stuff at my age…58 is creeping up on me…okay, not creeping but coming at me like a freight train and it is becoming easier to accept the changes that come with it. Oh, that’s not where I was going….have been trying to reconcile the loss of anger with being able to do this and have come to an idea that maybe the changes will help but might make the topics somewhat different. After all, none of the screaming I’ve done here over the last year and the 962 posts have made a damn bit of difference to anyone but me. So, I may start trying to be a little more introspective and talk about real things about life…and I do have the idea that I’m going to start another novel that will be about the weird but great childhood I had….oh, I guess that won’t be a novel since it really happened…it will be called “Sledding on the refrigerator door” and that will be one of the chapters that will deal with the creativity you need to have to have fun when you are poor….I’ll put another category at the top for you to click on and read what I have started….
June 11th
Well…I kind of like that it rained yesterday and I could take the day off of all exercise to try to heal up the little aches and pains that I have been suffering for the past couple of weeks…and with the 24 hours of LeMans coming on in a couple of minutes, I am going to delay the bike ride this morning for a couple of hours…it is kind of wet out there with a heavy mist (yeah, that sounded weird to me, too) that would soak me before I got out a mile so waiting is a good idea…it is still in the 50’s after all. I find it kind of strange that the inner peace that I have been seeking for quite some time is having an effect on my writing…making it much harder to come up with topics and then to find the fire that I need to explode them here…but, I’m pretty sure that I don’t want that seething inner volcano back either….it is a conundrum that I find really interesting but on an objective basis….I do look forward to seeing where this takes me and what effect it has on the rest of my life; I don’t know how I can describe the feeling that has come over me…something like bemusement I guess…oh, well…I’ll keep you updated on the travels in this new world….it was funny yesterday when I asked T if she ever thought I’d be at peace and get to where I am now and she just laughed and said no….
Not much to do today…bet you thought I wouldn’t work that in today….I may meet up with K for a couple later and I have started to clean this place up and I’ll continue that but it’s going to be more of a laid back day…I am going to cook a pork loin with fresh broccoli and roasted red potatoes for lunch/dinner and I can’t wait to smell it cooking….I’ll try to get to another one later but you know how my Saturdays go….
June 10th
Well…I was a good boy last night so I feel okay today even with the lack of sleep…it was nice to have the weather cool off somewhat but I do like it hot…it seems that I’m just not a creaky when it’s warm…I have been sore lately with pains almost everywhere and now I’ve got this grinding thing going on in my wrist…it is kind of fun to listen to it when I move it…yep, doesn’t take much to amuse me…not sure what I’m going to do today but I do have lunch with T and that will be fun and maybe even drinks with K later which would help fill today at least….need to take the clubs out and hit a few but it looks like rain this morning so I may just leave the bike in, too, and heal up some….won’t have to cook today so that moves the pork loin back until tomorrow and that is good since tomorrow is another race day with the 24 hours of LeMans running all day…as you can tell…I’m still struggling with the flow of this thing so I’m going to stop here but I will keep trying later….
June 9th
Well…an okay day yesterday but I woke up this morning to another flat on the bike so I’ll have to get a repair kit when I get groceries this morning or another tube, not sure yet…but I guess that’s the only decision I’ll have to make today and that makes it easy…I am a little irritated that I missed the storms last night but I can stop running the air and don’t have to watch the money running out the door every time it starts…I wasn’t good last night so I do feel a little crappy today but I may survive it…not much to do today…groceries, of course and then repairing the bike but that’s about it…I did watch a good small movie last night called “How do you know” that was a little odd in that even though there were characters with flaws, they were all still likable and nice people…but, not much happened in it and that is okay…I will get to more later but the hope of a long form one is quite slim today…more later…
