Well…darn, another fitful night of sleep but an okay one with my week on no cocktails starting…just curious to see if cocktails are the major cause of my high BP but I’m not sure if just a week will make any difference but I guess we’ll see…got back on the bike for 24 miles yesterday and will do that for the rest of the year to see how many over 10K I can get in before the end of the year…it’s going to be above freezing until Saturday so the snow will be gone…and then into the twenties for two days and then a week above freezing to end up the year…then only two more months of winter to endure…I did check the coolant in the car while the ham was cooking yesterday an it was only down a half pint or so in a month so I can cripple it along until I buy a new car…and that is going to be my project for the winter…find one and buy one…and I really do need to paint the dining room and all the trim and just need to start and live in dust for a month as I fill and sand the windows and trim…not much to do today…just the rides to start things off and then I’ll figure out the rest of the day…I am going to make the first batch of ham soup Wed or Thur using the old ham bones…sure hope I can taste it….more later….
