Well…just wanted to do a quick update on the phone trials I have been having for the past few days…got the new one less than 24 hours after I put the order in and that was pretty cool…and the new one has the latest software which is a little different but okay…and all of the switches and the screen works like it’s supposed to for the first time in a year….we’ll see how long this one works…I did change my plan, too that will save me over 40 bucks a month so that is cool, too more later…

September 11th
Well…it was a really crappy day yesterday…my phone died and I spent the entire day trying to get it fixed…a new one is supposed to be here today…and it is on the Fedex truck…but with how the phone is the primary way I connect today, it has been a royal pain in the butt…I did manage to get my contact list and photos downloaded from the old one so all I have to do is get my apps reloaded when it gets here…slept like crap with being good an no sleeping pills so I am tired today…don’t think I slept more than 3 hours total all night…and it is cold outside…but, the biggest pain is that I have to sit here and wait for the truck to get here….they won’t leave the phone without a signature…so, the rest of the day will be waiting…more later…
September 10th
Well…not running as late today but I’m not sure why…my routine is always the same so I should be here at the same time every morning but that never works out….slept crappy…and no comment…but there were some dreams that were not satisfying at all….I did get some stuff accomplished around here so that was something…but, not enough, so I need to get more done today….it looks like the bike ride will be between the raindrops today if I go out at all but the radar has rain and storms backed up all the way through Illinois so I may just take the day off…not much to do today…still feeling crappy so I think I’ll kind of take it easy unless a surge of energy hits and I get some ambition…more later….
Bike stuff…
Well…I am starting to have hope that my hands and feet are getting better…I have stopped itching all over so that is a good thing…but, that’s not what this is about…after I replaced the rear shock on the bike, I was having problems getting comfortable on it…something had changed and I was just not able to figure it out…it got to the point that I was thinking I was just getting bored with it…but, after I replaced the new shock after it failed with the old one…the bike feels good again and there is no squirming around in the seat trying to get comfortable…and I think I figured it out that the old shock has a different ride height than the new one which puts me more over the pedals than behind them and gives me a more direct pedal stroke….all I know is that today’s ride felt good and the bike feels more solid that it has in a while….it’s funny how an inch of change can have such a huge effect…
Dick Cheney is an expert?
Well…just read an article that just floored me and made it ever so clear that the repubs are the most stupid people on the face of the Earth…with all of what is going on in the mideast, caused by the repubs and their lies that broke Iraq, the congressional repubs invite the architect of that disaster back to give “advice” on what to do there. Yep, ole Dick Cheney, the person that has been wrong about everything he ever talked about was brought back to talk to these other morons today and with predictable results….his advice? More military spending and more intervention…more bombs, more killing, more torture…more of everything that screwed up the mideast on his watch….there has to be someone on the right that can see that this idiot is a failure and should be spending the rest of his life behind bars, not behind closed doors trying to screw the country and make more profit for his war monger buddies…geez…
September 9th
Well…running late again this morning and this time it’s because I feel like crap…pretty sure it is a bug since I feel like I have a bad cold with fever and coughing now…not sure how it ties into the sensitivity in my hands and feet but the hands seem to be getting better so that’s a plus…slept crappy…nope, not going to talk about that….the Lions won last night but I’m not sure if it was that they played well or if the Giants just stunk but a win is a win….not much to do today…don’t have a lot of energy so it’s going to be a low key one today with just getting some stuff done around here…more later…
New stuff from the trail…
Well…have been feeling a little pensive on the bike lately and had some thoughts about the trail that I thought I’d talk about for a minute….one of the weird things I saw today was a frog jumping onto the sidewalk from 60th street today…and I wondered “where the heck was he coming from?” Across 5 lanes to get to my side of the street? What immediately came to mind was the old video game Frogger where you had to get the frog across traffic or get him squished. Yep, my head goes weird places sometimes…the second thing is the proliferation of wooly bear caterpillars…so many of them that I now have to try to miss them…but what I wondered was why they are crossing the trail at all? Especially when I saw two of them going in opposite directions today crossing in the middle…what are they heading for? Just a thought that I’d put down before I forgot it….
A little politics…
Well…have been thinking about how to do a political one today and came up with this one….I think I’ll just do a few one liners and see what happens…it is making me smile that ole Scott Walker is in trouble in Wisconsin…I’ve said this before…if we vote, we win…so I hope they throw this idiot in the dustbin where he belongs…the same thing here in Michigan where ole Snyder is tied with Schauer and no one even knows Schauer yet…I hope the people here send the nerd back to his mansion so we can repeal right to work, the abortion restrictions, and the tax on pensions he and his tea party buddies rammed through….I really do like the commercials being run against Land here, too, pointing out that her entire campaign has been funded by the Koch’s and also highlighting the pollution they are responsible for…one other thing that looks good is that ole Brownback is losing in Kansas where he has instituted all of the repub pushed economic theories of tax cuts for the rich and business…and guess what? The state is almost last in job growth and has had to slash funding for their schools since they have no tax revenues anymore…and the people there are tired of the right wing hooey and the damage done to their state by his band of idiots…okay, that’s enough for now…one more to go….
September 8th
Well…running late this morning and I didn’t get back for a second one yesterday so I guess that means I need to get it in gear today…slept crappy again last night so I’m back to that again….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…so that means that I’ll have to today…along with the normal stuff…still have the burning on my hands and feet and it is starting to concern me but I can’t afford a trip to the doctor so I guess I’ll just live with it…or die with it…whatever happens…not much to do today…going to try to get some work done around here and then get ready for the Lions game later….
September 7th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…still not sleeping that hot but I’m not going to bitch about it….both Michigan and State looked like crap yesterday and I am about done with them for the year…when does hockey start? Still having the problems with my hands and feet but they seem to be getting a little better…we’ll see after the bike ride this morning…not much to do today…going to clean some and then just veg a little….but now, back to the F1 race…more later….
