Well….crap, another 5:15 morning after going to bed late too so that means less than 5 hours…again…and getting up at that time always reminds me of the Who song from Quadrophenia….I may have reached the point where I have to take it a little easy on the bike for a few days or take a day off completely with the overall pain I have been feeling the past few days…I hurt everywhere and have been running out of energy so much lately that I even cut the second ride short yesterday and only did 34 miles for the day. And something I’m allergic to just bloomed yesterday and left me coughing and with a plugged up head on the second ride and I am still feeling it this morning even with taking something for it last night….that could be why I felt so lousy yesterday…I guess we’ll see when I get out this morning….I think I’m just finally feeling my age and can’t go like I used to…but, I’m not willing to accept that just yet. I made up a new rub for some pork shoulder and tried it out on a small piece off the 7 pounder I bought this week…tasted great but I forgot to put the brown sugar in it but I will do that for the rest of it I’m cooking in the instant pot for lunch…going to make some pulled pork sandwiches out of it and then think about what else I can use 5 pounds of pork for….thinking of trying a vinegar based thin mustard sauce like they do in SC but I’ll have to look that up…and the pulled pork should go great with the jalpeno pickles I made the other day….not much to do today…I did chase the damn squirrel that is attacking my sunflowers yesterday and I m going to try to hit him with a rock if I see him today…and I got some other outdoor work done but I really need to get at the garage soon…but, not this weekend…I am going to take the weekend off except for cleaning and cooking and try to heal up and get back at it hard Monday….and I will get to a political one later today…just have been hovering on the edge of depression the past week or so and that makes it hard to focus and make sense here….more later…
