Well…the no cocktail sleep pattern is back again…to bed at 11, trying to get to sleep for an hour, and then up between 4:30 and 5 and trying to go back to sleep for at least until the coffee maker starts at 6…I wonder if I should take some comfort in the consistency? Who knows? Had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done with the lack of motivation I’ve felt lately but I did get two rides in after taking the day off Sunday….and my legs were supercharged after just resting one day so I guess I’ll have to do that more often…I had been on the bike for doubles for 16 days straight and was just miserable for my rides on Saturday…legs were just flat from the start through the entire 30 miles and it was torture to keep going…and it hurt which doesn’t happen very often…I did have a funny surprise when I took a walk around the yard after the first ride yesterday and discovered that a flock of grackles had punched holes all over the front yard looking for insects I guess…it looked like someone had run one of those aerator machines over it and that should be good for the lawn to loosen the soil some and let air and water down to the roots of the grass….and the food and weed killer I put on it looks like it is working even though it rained after I put the killer on….I am going to get out on the bike here in a few minutes since it is already 55 degrees out and there is rain coming for later this morning…just don’t want to be wet today…but after today, the weather is going to turn nice with no rain and temps in the 70′s to near 80…going to have to break out the shorts and put the top down for a ride in the car….it is kind of cool that I can just pull the car in the garage and leave the top down if I want to and not think about rain….not much to do today…I should start working on getting the loose paint off the trim in the front to get ready to paint it and I might if I don’t get sidetracked with fooling around with other stuff….more later…
