Well…I know, really late this morning but I have an excuse….not really, just decided to read the paper first and have some coffee since I was not a good boy yesterday with SF out with k and then a few cocktails here. But, the good news is the Wings won in a shootout and that made me smile…about the only thing that does anymore…that’s not true..or, only kinda true….did not accomplish anything yesterday and I am starting to feel guilty about that…I will do something today, though, taking the wreck out to Tom’s to take a look at the exhaust and see if there is anything we can do to make it last a little longer…it’s been a couple of years since I’ve been under it and it is just the worst thing to do that in a snow covered car…have to get the work clothes out again…other than that, not a lot to do today…there is a race on and I have a movie to watch but that is about it..the Oscars are on tonight but I don’t know if I’m going to watch…I used to love that stuff but it just doesn’t grab me anymore…we’ll see….looks like I’m going to make it to 60 for the month and I should feel good about that…more later…

Well…running late again this morning but you’ve seen this pattern before so you shouldn’t be surprised…this happens almost every weekend…and that is kind of strange since there is no difference between weekdays and weekends for me….was kind of a bore of a day yesterday…I did try the new pork recipe for the slow cooker and that came out quite good…kind of like slow cooked barbecue that was very tender and flavorful….have to remember to really boost the spices when I’m using the cooker, otherwise the food turns out somewhat bland. Just hung out last night and did nothing but watch tv…it was kind of nice to just veg out…and no, it’s not what I do all the time…just most of the time…I am going to try to be much more productive today, after I finish reading the papers and having my coffee that is, I am going to clean my kitchen….or try to clean it..who knows. I do have at least one more topic for the day but probably 2…with the details of the new tax structure here in Michigan finally coming out it appears my prediction is true, that the state’s budget will be balanced on the backs of the poor and retired, while business and the upper classes walk away without paying a dime more….more later…

Okay, I know, I’m not supposed to talk politics here…so I won’t, I did forget that there is going to be a SF today with K and V…kind of hope we just meet up out here instead of going across town…although the wreck could use getting up to temp…this winter has been hard on it…then there are races and a Wings game later so at least I won’t be bored….

Well….it’s been a weird few days and I have been feeling this strange disconnect with the world, like I’m in it but not part of it….I don’t know if that has affected my posts or not since the way I look at things and my objectivity has been strained, too. But, now that I think about it, objectivity is something that I struggle with at times with outrage overwhelming it on a regular basis. And no, this one is not to just get my count up for the month…after all, I don’t make any money on this stuff..it might be nice to get piece work like I used to at the factory job that I started out with. Now, the damn car has another exhaust problem that is going to cost another 250 to 300 bucks that I just don’t have….so I sit here isolated again, waiting for the slow cooker to finish and for 7 o’clock to come for cocktail time…at least there is a race on to see tonight…but it’s from Phoenix which is not one of my favorite tracks.

Have not heard form K yet so I guess there is no FF to look forward to…maybe tomorrow for SF…who knows? Not much else to do for the weekend, I guess I’ll just wing it and see what happens…I did watch that oscar nominated documentary called “Exit through the gift shop” that has gotten a lot of attention but it was hard to get through the whole thing…and I didn’t see a point to it at all. No where near as good as “the Cove” that was up for the oscar last year. Okay…I’m running out of things to say right now but I may come back later….there have been things emerging all day but the effect is fleeting….more later…

Well…just a normal sort of day yesterday, I did get to see T for a few minutes and that was nice but the rest of the day was just the boring regularity that is starting to drive me a little crazy. I need something different to happen but I don’t know what that is yet…if you have any suggestions, please let me know…my brain seem to be kind of clogged up but that’s not all of it…just can’t bring myself to spend any cash so that keeps me here…today will be better, though…I am doing the grocery run this morning and will be firing up the slow cooker for some country style ribs but don’t know what I’m making with it…..I guess I’ll just look to see what is on sale in the produce dept……I have been trying to eat more veggies and I am finding that I really like quite a few fresh ones….not much else to do today…K might be back from Florida so there may be a FF this aft…that would be a good way to start off the weekend but, as you know, weekends don’t mean a lot to those of us who aren’t working….I will have some topics for later since I do need to get going to make it to 60 for the month….of course, that’s not the only reason…I may even have something pertinent to say, you’ll never know unless you come back….

Well…a weird day yesterday and some things happened that I really can’t share here….maybe in the future….I did take it easy for most of the day…didn’t meet up with T since she was just too busy….but that might happen today so there is something to look forward to….I am running out of food and should get some but don’t have any cash so I think I may just clean this place out first…should make for some really interesting meals but how do you put rice and noodles together? I could make chicken soup….not much to do today, as always, I just need to get creative to keep the boredom at bay….yow, this one is really choppy….so I’m going to quit here and try to shake the cobwebs out and make the brain work better….more later….

Well…a fun day out shooting pool but can’t say it’s out in Ada anymore since the Victory club closed….went to a new place out in Cascade that was a little louder but fun….ran into a bartender that I know from years back and that was a little weird…some of the regulars from the V were there, too, which was another weird coincidence. I did win at pool even giving away 4 games and the tab was not bad….so it looks like we will be back there next week. Do feel a little crappy today but I think it’s more from not eating enough yesterday than anything else….not much to do today…might meet up with T later and that will be fun…but it’s a shorty or a drive by since she is so busy….other than that it looks like a veg day today…I will get to some topics later….gas prices are going to be one of them…they went up 40 cents a gallon yesterday and the speculators are having a field day….more later…

Well…I did go out last night to a new place with G and it was one of these throwback lounges that I remember from my youth…updated with Keno so it was kind of fun…with the ice that was still on the roads…the old wreck was almost shaken apart and I felt bad for it….made it home, though, it was all good. Our Tuesday spot for pool just closed so Tom and I have to find a new place today…not too happy about that but that’s life, I guess. I did get my state taxes done yesterday so that will be some money coming in in a few weeks…might be able to make it through May now if things fall right but it would be better to find a job and get moving forward. Not much to do today…normal Tuesday stuff and resumes….and a few more posts that I will have for you today…there are topics that I have been thinking about that may come out today…who knows? More later….

Well…did the world end yesterday? I made the mistake of listening to the weather and it appeared for a while that we were all going to die a slow, cold death. Then, I looked out at the car this morning and it’s covered with 4 inches or so of snow…another snow storm…not the winter snowpocalypse that was predicted. At least we are getting toward March and this stuff will be over soon. It was a normal sunday…no SF since K is in Florida and I didn’t really do a whole lot…the Wings won in a shootout and the Woods brothers won Daytona which was pretty cool; they were a huge team when I was growing up and the gold number 21 on the side of the car brought back some good memories. Other than that….pretty much a veg day and that was okay. Not much to do today….have to keep working on the resume so I can find some kind of work pretty soon….there should be topics for later…the Protests in Madison chould be one…and one thing struck me…they interviewed a 20 year old tea party supporter…how can that be? Are all of our youth getting that stupid that they buy into that fake organization bankrolled by the Koch brothers? I fear for this country when the ideas of 20 year olds have ossified to those of a pissed off 50 year old white guy…geez…more later…

Well…have my schedule a little backwards this morning…had my coffee and read the newspaper already…that’s why I’m late and it might be fun to see if the caffeine affects how and how much I write. Had a normal Saturday yesterday and had fun out at GR Brewing Co. with K and V for a couple…..then back here to watch the rest of the race but I am getting even more bored with nascar than last year…maybe the 500 today will be better but this whole 2 car draft thing is pretty annoying…I think it’s time to lose the restrictor plates and let them race…they were running at 215 in 1985 and aren’t speeds supposed to go up? And, don’t get me started on the car they are running now…are they trying to ruin the sport? Okay, driving off on a tangent there….get it? DRIVING off on a tangent….ha, ha,….I crack myself up sometimes. Not much to do today…of course, I have the race and the Wings game at the same time so there will be some flipping involved…no, I don’t have a dvr….I might have some topics for later today or maybe just another musing day…I guess I’m supposed to be cringing and stockpiling food for the winter storm we are supposed to get but…c’mon, this is Michigan in feb….what do you expect? More later….
