Well…there was Monday Funday yesterday to celebrate (or mourn) the end of summer…had fun at Logan’s and was a good boy when I got home so I feel okay today…there was a huge traffic jam on 131 coming home because of an accident so it took me almost a half hour to go 13 miles….I don’t understand why people can’t just drive past a wreck….there was one open lane and no one could drive past it faster than 5…not a lot to do today, hope to get back on the bike since I gave my legs a rest yesterday and they do feel better; not sore at all but I’ll take it easy anyway….I will have some topics later, I hope,….more later…

September 6th
Well…had to take yesterday off for a recovery day but was bad again last night so we’re back on the recovery today….but I am going to go out and get coffee and read the papers…so I’ll try to get something topical out later today…might have a Monday Funday later since it is a holiday…..more later…
September 5th
Yeah, I know, I’m late this morning…had way too much fun yesterday and Michigan won,,,yay! Started out the aft at Peppino’s downtown but 7 dollar draft beers? So, we moved over to OT for the rest of the game but didn’t watch much of it since we were playing shuffleboard and, of course, K and I won both games we played…that gets us to 23-2 when we play together. It was nice to have a few of the group back together if even just for the day. I’m debating with myself whether to go out for a bike ride but I probably will if just to get the toxins out. No sprints today, just a cruise.
Oh, a one last thing, I did buy a slow cooker yesterday and made some chicken, potatoes, carrots, and corn on the cob…well..don’t want to cook any other way….some of the best, most tender chicken I can remember….can’t wait to have the leftovers today….
September 4th
Well…another boring night at home but feel okay today…the change in the weather has been a little surprising but at least it’s not raining anymore. I DO have something to do today…yay! Going out to watch the Michigan game against Uconn and it looks like there will be a few of us at Peppino’s downtown. Had to look all over this place for my gear but found the shirt and need to de-wrinkle it so I don’t look too sloppy. I think I’m going out to get a slow cooker today and maybe cook some chicken, potatoes, and corn….should be yummy…more later…
I DO have to wish two of my sons happy birthday today…yep, two of them born on the same day 3 years apart…but the even weirder thing is that my oldest brother and I were born on the same day 13 years apart….match that one…
September 3rd
Well…another night out, another day of feeling crappy…but I had fun so I guess it was worth it. And the Lions won…which was weird because when I left OT, they were behind. Looks like everyone is going to be out of town for the holiday so it’s going to be a low key weekend. Michigan plays Sat so that will be something to look forward to. I did promise to get a couple of posts out today and I’m going to try to keep it…but I feel worse today than yesterday so who knows…more later…
September 2nd
Well…did win at pool last night and had a lot of fun but feel a little crappy today…have to do the grocery shopping today but don’t feel like it…maybe I’ll put it off until tomorrow….but then I won’t have any food to eat and I am trying keep my no fast food streak alive….no other plans for the day…more later…
Still feel like crap and it’s one in the aft….but I did get the grocery shopping done and it’s nice to have food in the place…that might be part of the reason I still feel bad…having a hard time getting enough food since nothing really tastes good any more…guess it’s just a phase…at least I hope so. I almost forgot this was a holiday weekend since they are all the same to someone who is not working….did finish the third book from T and need to start a new one today. Probably more later….
Just got back from the bike ride and got soaked but it wasn’t bad because it’s still warm enough…starting to feel human again but still not right…not sure what to do about it….probably just have some more ice water and take it easy for the rest of the day…
Oh, not sure if I’ll have another one today…nothing jumped out at me when I was reading the papers and the brain is still fuzzy anyway…but I’ll promise that I’ll get my butt in gear tomorrow and give you at least two, if not three…..
September 1st
Well…Here we go for another month and I hope that it will be better than the last…not really better since I can’t remember a nicer August and more trips to the beach..but that is going to change later in the week when the highs are going to only be in the 60’s. But with the coolness comes the fist Michigan game this sat and I am curious to see what the team is like this year. Not much to do today…have to get back into the fitness routine since I took the day off yesterday; I thought playing in the waves was a close approximation to the calorie burn from riding the bike so I didn’t ride…okay, let me delude myself so the guilt doesn’t come back. Might have a trip to Ada later but with Tom working now, I’m not sure….more later…
A last one for August…
Well…it’s been a pretty good August except no responses to any resumes…and that is kind of disheartening since I’m slowly going broke and I could use a job…but it is what it is and I’ll just have to figure out how to deal with it. It was really a busy day today, for me anyway…with the beach trip, to the coffee shop, drinks with K, and the a call from two of the kids….good to hear that things are going well for those two. I just finished watching “the Book of Eli” from Netflix and it was a pretty good small movie; the type that I enjoy. At least all the activity kept the boredom at bay and all I have to do is get through the next 3 hours and it will be bed time….
Hmmm….just wanted to put a cap on the summer….no more later.
August 31st
Well…last day of August and I am debating with myself what to do…I think I’ll take this day to celebrate the end of summer and go to GH… it’s supposed to be almost 90 today and then the weather starts to get crappy…down in the 60’s for highs Friday and Saturday…good for college football, though, and I’m looking forward to the start of the season…so, there won’t be another of these until later…but I’m supposed to have drinks with K later so it may not be until really later in the aft…talk amongst yourselves for a while….more later…
August 30th
Well…I’m going to get to the placekeeper later this morning but right now I’m going to read the news to look for topics that I can talk about this afternoon. Not much going on today…running a little late this morning for some reason, just can’t get started moving or thinking….so I’ll end here right now…were shooting for the record on monthly posts today so there will be at least three…more later…
