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…

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….

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….

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….

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…

Well… a quite different day yesterday…got up early and headed for the beach and the was okay but I’m not going back until the water is warm enough to go swimming…no way to cool off…and I was kind of an idiot when I got back, waiting until 2 to go out on the bike and it was like riding in liquid…almost dangerous since you just can’t dump that heat and it took me almost two hours to cool down when I got back…going out early this morning since it is going to be worse today….still can’t warm up to Biggby coffee but I may give it one more try today just to get out of here…not much to do today…going to just kind of hibernate here after the ride and stay out of the heat…I will be back later with more…there are things happening again…

Well….I’m sure you noticed that I’d titled these wrong over the past couple of days…still stuck in May…or maybe that was wishful thinking on my part…so, I went back and fixed them…need to stay consistent, after all. It was an okay day yesterday…didn’t do much but I did go out for a couple with G and ran into T at GL…it was good to see her…and then I was good when I got home so I feel okay today…so okay that I think I’m going to the beach this morning to hang out and read the paper….and get the color started evening out…it’s already 75 degrees at 7am so it will be nice…have to look up what the Lake Michigan water temp is to see how badly I’m going to freeze if I go swimming….probably should get my workout in before I go so I can just ride the bike when I get back…decisions, decisions…so you know that means I’ll be late for the next one but I normally get off the beach by noon…more later…

Well…it was kind of the day I expected yesterday…not much going on but races so I made the best of it and just watched them….and napped..it is Napcar after all….I did nave a nice ride and it still feels good that at my age I can rip off 20 miles on the bike in almost a sprint…I wonder when that is going to go away like everything else…there were some neat things to look at on the trail yesterday…a deer was about 20 feet from the edge and just stood there as I rode by…it was paying attention to me but no skittishness as all and that was unusual…there were muskrats, bunnies, more snakes…I did look up and see things since it was a no sprint day and that made me smile. Didn’t hear from G but I really didn’t expect to…will probably hear from her today..if not, that’s okay, too. Not much to do today…the weather is going to be beach-like all week and I am going to have to load the car up and go one day early in the day…I can use the evening of the bike tan….I will try to get a few out today…had many ideas as I was trying to sleep last night but they are all gone now so I’ll have to start over…

Well…a really hot day yesterday…didn’t do much but ride the bike and there were a lot of races on to watch so I just vegged it out for the day…Not sure why I’m running late today…I’ve been up since 6 but just couldn’t get going…I’m looking forward to getting out early today and enjoying the first windless day that I can remember…it’s Pink Floyd in the ears when I go out and I am promising myself I won’t sprint at all today…just a look up and around day where I smile at the sky and grin a little…might have a couple with G later but with her trip back from Ohio, I don’t think she’ll be up for it…I certainly wouldn’t be after a 6 hour drive….it has been a strange week and with Tom getting a job, it looks like one of the two things I have to do to keep from becoming a total hermit is going away…but, I guess you have to get used to change as time goes on….the coffee still tastes good, the sun still comes up, and I’m still living and breathing so it could be worse…I may have another one today but who knows? I’m still thinking about the oldest boy moving away and the conversation we had….

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….
