March 8th

Well…an uneventful day yesterday that was somewhat of a bore but I didn’t spend any money so that was a plus….it is getting tiring not having a lot to do but I guess I’ll just have to get used to it. Feel a little crappy today and I’ve got a tooth that hurts like crazy so that might be part of it…have to do the salt water thing again this morning since it helped make it better…have to keep from grinding the teeth but it’s harder than it seems. Not much to do today….I think I’ll keep it low key until I go out to Cascade to shoot pool…my energy level is quite low and I think I’ll shift into conservation mode for the rest of the morning…I will have topics for later since I have one that I should have gotten out yesterday but I just got sidetracked in the afternoon….more later..

March 7th

Well…a fun Sunday with SF with K,K, V and Tom out to two places for a few beers…..good to get out of here if even for a little while….was good when I got home so I don’t feel bad today…just the normal aches and pains….but I am having problems grinding my teeth again…I thought I had that one fixed but the pain in my jaw says different…oh, well….it did keep me up most of the night so I am a little tired….not much to do today..have to work on some equipment and do the resume thing but that is about it. I will update in a while when I get my head cleared and I start to think….I did get a couple out yesterday so that should keep you occupied until I get a new one out today….more later….

March 6th

Well…running late this morning…hmmm..not really, this appears to be the emerging pattern for Sundays…read the paper first with large amounts of coffee, then here to get the first one out for the day. Had a nice day yesterday and accomplished some things but not nearly enough of them..this place is getting to have that shabby patina because I have been avoiding doing the cleaning…What I want to know is where do the spiders come from in the winter? I have another crop that have set up shop in the bathroom that need to be removed…I think that will be my focus for the day. Don’t know what is going on with the Wings…3 losses in a row and really inconsistent play…not the thing you want to see with only 11 games left in the season…and that is another thing I can’t believe….the NHL season almost over? It seems like it just started. Not much to do today…probably a SF with K later and the race of course, but not much else….and I know I have to get the cleaning done before that…never very ambitious when I get back….I do have a topic for later…I am in shock that a columnist for the GR Press has come out against the budget plans of gov Snyder….and supported my contention that tax cuts don’t create jobs…..I wonder where he’s going to work next? More later….

One last thing I wanted to comment on is a food find that really surprised me yesterday….mad a pork loin roast yesterday, as you know, but the potatoes I made with it are new to me….some small, round, yellow potatoes that when cut and roasted, get a crust on the outside and when you bite into them, the inside is almost liquid…like good mashed potatoes. I know, little things make me happy now….

March 5th

Well…a fun day yesterday with a great lunch with T…after lunch, though, I just vegged and watched movies being totally unproductive and that sloth continued into the evening with cocktails and more Neflix on my roku. I think I’m getting to the point that I don’t even watch the dish anymore….it was off in the rain last night and I didn’t even know it….I do feel a little slow this morning but I think it’s from just eating lunch yesterday and nothing else…I am going to make another pork loin roast today so I’ll make up for it later. Not much to do today..might have a SF with K and V later but I’m not sure if it will be today or tomorrow…and I have some work to do around here that I shouldn’t put off anymore….but, it will probably be more vegging later…just can’t get motivated and not sleeping well doesn’t help…I will get at least one more out today with the front page article by the Lt. Gov that basically said “trust us” something that you just can’t do with those liars….

March 4th

Well…an earlier start this morning and there is no reason for that either except that I wanted to get going…and try to get the brain working to see if it helps the rest of the day…slept okay last night…there is nothing better than a fresh bed to sleep in…I think it helps me sleep but it could just be bunk. Bunk…that a word I haven’t used in a while….after I got all my work done yesterday, it was nice to veg for a while…it was the first time all week and I think it will help me acclimate to working again..if that ever happens…I do have kind of a busy day today…have to do groceries this morning…then work out, and out to meet T for a late lunch….the Wings lost for the second time in a row and I am starting to get concerned about the playoffs…but that is just me I guess…I am going to get a few out today…but they will be in between working out and lunch…probably won’t be motivated to do them later but I am going to get a couple a day out over the weekend….more later…

A little more…

Well…it’s been an eventful last three days and I am still a little worn out…that’s probably from not sleeping well, too, but I can’t be sure..I hope it’s not just from getting old or I will be pissed…I did get the car fixed today and it is nice to have the stealth wreck back….and it wasn’t the repair that they did Tues…it was another break the they re-welded for me for free…and they removed a decrepit heat shield that had fallen down onto the pipes and that took care of a rattle that was driving me nuts…just hope the heat doesn’t start the carpet on fire…but it would be a good story, wouldn’t it? It was nice to finally have a few minutes to watch a movie this aft…”the Town” with Ben Affleck…an okay movie but nothing great….going to take the night off from cocktails tonight since I have lunch with T tomorrow and it is nice to be sharp when we meet….and you know the plan anyway…cocktails on Friday and Saturday only..just can’t afford the calories…..

I was going to do anther political one today but it’s just not working…don’t want to just write to write so I’ll end here….

March 3rd

Well…it was a really busy day yesterday and I hope I can get back to the normal routine today and get some comments done…I do have to take the wreck back in this morning to see if they can do the exhaust job right for once and I am starting to get irritated about it….was up about 4:30 this morning when I got a couple of texts from T…made me laugh and was a good start to the day…I did get a little more sleep since then and feel pretty good tight now…it’s kind of nice what taking a day off from cocktails can do for you…I just hope that once I get the car done I can relax a little..but I do have another busy day with the need to go out for supplies and try to find parts for the equipment that failed a couple of days ago….learned a lot up in MP yesterday so I think I can fix it on my own…not much else to do today…the Wings lost last night and have another one against the Sharks tonight but I can’t wait for the west coast swing to be over so the games will start at a reasonable hour… I will have more post for later since there are topics that I haven’t dealt with and I miss being productive…more later….

March 2nd

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…

March 1st

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….

February 28th

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….
