Well….at least I remembered to put January in the title of this one…the past few days I was locked into December for some reason and had to come back and change a few of these…and no, it’s not from getting old…it’s from getting started before coffee and the jump start it gives my brain…at least that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it…slept okay last night and just feel sore this morning and I know what that is from, too…the river finally flooded the trail yesterday and I had to turn around and run the trail backwards to get my miles in…and that added about 4 miles to the ride so I got 16 in yesterday and went pretty hard, too so I guess I’ve earned the pain…and there were multiple other place along the trail that were just inches from flooding so I am curious what it’s going to look like this morning when I get out…I did get dome work done around here yesterday…spent some time working on the furnace to get the noise out of the blower and was somewhat successful…had to re align the motor and tighten the hold down bolts along with tightening the set screw that holds the pulley since that was loose…then, I had to tighten the belt with some shims and that helped get rid of some of the slapping from the belt but not all of it so I need to work on that some more today…but it is quite a bit better so I may just let it run for a while before I work on it again….it does look like the dog poop idiots that were living next door have moved out since I haven’t seen a car there in over three weeks and the mailbox is overflowing with junk mail…the weird thing is I’m here all the time and never saw a truck or anyone move anything…and there were at least 6 people living there….we’ll see…just hope whoever rents it again doesn’t have dog and takes care of it better….okay, I need to check to see if there is any soccer on and read the rest of the news…more later….
