Well….yeah, I know, not additional posts yesterday but I did have a lot to do and didn’t feel that great all day….don’t feel much better today but have to take the wreck back in since they didn’t get it right…lost at pool, too, but there was just something off that I’m not sure what the problem is….just hope it goes away as the day progresses…..not much to do today…have to stop at G’s for a sec and then the normal routine…I promise I’ll get more out today since I’m already a couple behind for the month….more later…

Okay…just got back…had to go to Mt. Pleasant to pick up some equipment and it is tiring to go over 200 miles with no food…but, I just put dinner in and I have a few minutes for it to cook so I thought I’d update before I get to any other topic…didn’t even read all of my news papers since I wanted to get going once I decided to go….it was nice to see C’s farm and his dog Ren again…and it was not too tough to find it even without GPS…I did have to use a map, though, but I think it is so easy to find I think I can find it again…we’ll see…I am going to try to get one more out today…or three tomorrow…not sure yet…just wanted to do a little more…

Well…a fun night last night out at Great Lakes…feel like crap this morning and I have to take the car in in a few minutes….not looking forward to that at all….laughed a ton and met some new people that was a hoot….so, of course the brain is not working at all today and I am going to keep this one short until I get back around 10 or so…might even skip the coffee shop to come back here and nurse the wounds since I have to go out this aft to shoot pool….I will try to get a couple out later today but I’m not sure…more later…

Okay…I’m back for a while…did get the car fixed this morning and it only took about a half hour since they did order the part yesterday when I stopped in….now I just need to get the brakes fixed and it will be good to go through the rest of the winter….yeah, it is still winter here in Michigan for a few more weeks and I can’t wait for it to be over…the sun is shining today, though, so that make it easier to endure…still thinking about coming back with another one later but it’s not looking too good right now…did not sleep last night so I need to get a nap in before I go out to shoot pool….

Well…that was a normal sunday other than getting out to Tom’s to find out what was wrong with the wreck…and found out the part int he exhaust that was replaced 2 months ago failed again so I’ll have to take it back in tomorrow…the good news is that it should be free to have it fixed…a small shot of good news in the otherwise dismal time that I’m having. Okay, enough of that…after all we are getting to March which will mean snowmelts and getting back on the bike by the end of the month, I hope…I need to get more exercise and just can’t get motivated to do anything else. Not much to do today…I will have to set the appt for the car and get some resumes out, then maybe out with G later but I don’t think so..we’ll see…I will have some topics for later….

Okay…not done yet…I did watch part of the oscars last night…was it as much of a bore as I thought it was? James Franco was basically a waste of space…no snap to the whole show….

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…
