Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…slept okay but still feel a little crappy today…and my hands and feet seem to be getting worse so I may have to try to find 500 bucks to go to the doctor and see what is going on…I did get the chance to go out and hang with K for a few minutes and that was fun…the weather has been so nice over this week that the top has been down on the car almost all the time…even put it down over to Meijer’s and back this morning…not much to do today…sports, sports, and more sports starting with Everton now, Man U at ten and then into football and racing for the rest of the day….more later…

Snakes on the trail…again…
Well…it was an odd day on the trail today but I felt okay so that is one little plus…and, there were snakes on the trail again but there shouldn’t be…in one two mile section, there were about 20 little snakes about the size of just hatched ones sitting on the trail…had to swerve to miss them and I wanted to stop and pick some of them up but I’ve done that before so the attraction was much less…there was one other thing that happened that was just so cool I had to talk about it…on one of the downhills in a tunnel of trees, a hawk was flying right up the trail at me…when he got about 20 feet away, he did a 5 G pullup straight up and disappeared into the treetops…fun thing to watch….
September 26th
Well…running late again today and I think I may have to alter my routine to fix that problem…but is is a problem? After all, I really don’t have anything else to do so why try to fix it? Slept okay last night but had some dreams that were not the fun ones that I like…and I still feel kind of strange so I’m still not sure if I have a bug or not….I did get out to meet up with the youngster Miata guys last night for a while and that was fun with how nice a night it was….not much to do today…pool, of course, and I think I’m going to smoke some fish after I get back from the ride this morning…have had it marinating overnight and need to cook it today…more later…
September 25th
Well…running late again today and I really can’t figure out why…just did a grocery run but that shouldn’t have done it….hmmmm…and, I chipped my favorite coffee cup and I am really depressed about that…have had the thing for 20 years…it was a freebie from the National Starch rep when I was working and can’t be replaced…maybe I need to buy one…slept crappy and feel crappy this morning but I wasn’t good last night so that is one of the reasons…I am really tired of the guys working on the roof here and I hope they finish up today since I am getting annoyed with all of the pounding…not much to do today…I have stuff to do around here and I want to smoke some fish but that is about it…more later…
A quickie on the Tigers…
Well…with being three behind for the month, I thought I’d do a quickie on the Tigers game that is on right now…just saw one of the best innings I’ve seen in a while…in the 8th, the Tigers had men on first and second, then they were bunted across to second and third, then Romine came up and they did a “suicide squeeze” bunt that I haven’t seen in many years where the runner on third takes off with the pitch and the batter has to make contact with the ball and place it perfectly along the third base line…which is not easy when you are bunting…but the Tigers pulled it off and it was just cool…and they have scored 4 more since so it looks like a win that they sorely need to stay ahead of KC and get into the playoffs….
I promised some sports…
Well…it has been a few days but I promised I’d talk a little about sports…especially the teams that I follow that are just stinking up the place this year….have to start with Manchester United…what a debacle over the weekend…they were up on Leicester 3-1 in the second half and went on to lose the match 5-3…and this is with almost everyone healthy. I guess David Moyes was not that bad of a manager…even the crappy year last year was not as bad as they are playing now…if they keep this up, they could be relegated to the championship next year and that hasn’t happened in 50 years….okay, I do need to deal with Michigan football again…and I shouldn’t have to…ever since Hoke took over the team 4 years ago they have been mediocre at best and downright stinky at their worst…for the first time that I can remember, if there is a race on opposite them, I will watch the race…have even put the Michigan gear away for the year…they just don’t deserve me wearing it….okay, those are the the ones that are really disappointing me right now but I do need to do another one on the promise of a new Red Wings season and the small bit of life that the Lions have shown…and I’ll wedge the Tigers in there, too….more later
September 24th
Well…it was a long day yesterday but I got a bunch of stuff done so that is okay…and got the chance to hang out with G for a little while..it was nice to get out of here for a while…and it was needed since they are re roofing my place and it is so noisy that I can barely think…at least that’s the excuse I’m going to use…feel a little crappy today but I think it’s still the bug that I’ve had for almost two weeks now…just wish it would get worse or better and not just go along the same…not much to do today…going to take it easy after the bike ride although I do have some stuff to do around here….might just wait until tomorrow to do it…and I will be back here for another one or two today since there are topics I want to talk about…more later…
Fear, fear, and more fear…
Well…I have been marveling over all of the tough guy repubs who are shaking in fear with the worst threat to the US in the history of the world…in case you didn’t catch it, that was sarcasm…and I sit here and wonder what these guys are smoking or drinking, or are they just the biggest bunch of chickens that have ever lived in this country? The latest is the state hopper candidate from fear (R) Scott Brown who came out today and said that Islamic terrorism is the greatest threat the US has ever faced and that Obama is not doing enough about it…let me get this straight, ISIS is a greater threat than Nazi Germany? ISIS is a greater threat than the Japanese empire? ISIS is a greater threat than the Soviet Union in the cold war with it’s 40,000 nuclear warheads? It has gotten almost comical when another of these supposedly tougher than Democrats repubs just about craps his pants and screams the sky is falling whenever a new terror organization kills a few people….but, you know this is their playbook to win elections…fear, fear, and more fear…it’s all they have left…geez…
September 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still feel a little crappy from the bug but maybe there are glimpses of being better…I have a sore throat this morning, though, and that is normally not a good sign…slept really crappy again but that’s not news anymore so I won’t talk about it….it looks like the next week is going to have some of the best weather all year so I need to take advantage of it…they are replacing the roof here today so that will be a big mess and I hope I’ve parked my car far enough away to not get all that crap on it….not much to do today…I do have sports stuff to talk about but I needed to do the Perry one yesterday since it just wrote itself and we all need to continue to expose the idiocy that is the repubs these days…more later…
Rick Perry is still an idiot…
Well…how many times do I have to say “Rick Perry is still an idiot”? It seems that every day that idiot comes out with a new bit of stupidity the tops the last one…the latest was from a few days ago where he basically said that Joan Rivers would still be alive if New York had the same draconion abortion restrictions they have in Texas…you know, where all of the clinics there have to be mini hospitals with a certain width hallways, bigger doors, and other things that have nothing to do with the services being performed…since when does a wider hallway have anything to do with a woman’s health? The only thing these restrictions do is put the clinics out of business since they are not there to make huge profits and can’t afford to rebuild their buildings. Using this logic, whey haven’t they put these same restrictions on oral surgery clinics? Statistics show that oral surgery is more dangerous than getting an abortion as is knee surgery and every other outpatient surgery. The final fact is that the clinic where Joan Rivers was treated met all of the Texas requirements….but she died anyway…what a moron…geez…
