August 10th

Well…feel a little beat up this morning so it will be a slow start to the day….slept okay last night but there was a lot of tossing and turning so I’m not sure how much sleep I got…not enough with how I’m feeling…I did have some fun yesterday with a second pool day for the week…which I lost but had some fun so that was cool…they did finally get the re-pave on the lot done here yesterday so I can park in front again…they still need to re stripe it but who knows when that will happen…the coffee better start working soon or I’m going back to bed…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will do something today before Man U starts their season at three so I won’t feel guilty watching it….I think I may have done some damage yesterday going hard on the bike since I am sore today…will need to take something for it here in a bit before I get out for the ride….more later…

August 9th

Well….running on time today for a Thursday and that is a little boring…I do feel good today with being good for 4 days now but man, nights are a little boring when you’re being good…and when you can’t find anything to watch on tv….oh, well….slept okay last night but was up really early this morning and that was okay since I wasn’t rushed to get out the door for groceries…and now I’m just waiting for the rain to clear so I can get on the bike and get a long ride in…but, I need more than one cup of coffee for that…I did get out to Target to get a new kitchen trash can yesterday…the old one’s top has been broken for 3 years or so and it’s nice to have one that works again….didn’t get much else done yesterday and I’m shooting pool again today so that will mean I won’t get much done today, either…but that’s okay…don’t have a lot to do….I am hoping they finish up the re-pave of the lots here before I leave today so I’ll have a parking space in front when I get back here….more later…

August 8th

Well….think I’m on time this morning…one of these days, I’m not going to act like I have a schedule and just let thing happen when they will…but, not today…have to go out and move the car in a few so they can tear out the parking lot here and repave it…that is going to be a pain for the next couple of days with all of the noise and smell…may have to put the air on just to keep the smell out…oh, well….slept okay last night but I am having a hard time getting going…the coffee isn’t working yet and I hope it starts soon…the church behind me had some kind of festival yesterday afternoon and it was the most damn annoying thing with the fire trucks constantly using their sirens and even a helicopter landing in the lot…just fricking annoying to the point that I had to close this place up to get some relief….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but will try to do more today…not sure what, but I’ll try to do more…more later….

August 7th

Well…got up early today but it took me some time to come here…just can’t get started and I hope the coffee starts working soon…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today but I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday so that will have to be fixed today…had a nice run out and back to pool and there was no rain so the top was down both ways…oh, and I won at pool for the second week in a row…I do need to get out to vote this morning and I think I’ll ride my bike over to do it…have to look at the radar to see it it is going to rain first, though….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will continue looking for a house today so it may be an afternoon in front of the computer…I do need to cook, too…have some pork chops that have been marinating since Saturday that need to be cooked….more later….

August 6th

Well…running a little late today…didn’t get up til after 7 and that is sleeping in for me…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today other than a few aches and pains that are more and more normal these days…had a nice bike ride yesterday but it looks like I will finally have a day off the bike with the storms that are coming in…they’re stretched all the way back through Nebraska and it looks like the rain is going to start soon….I do need a day off the bike to let my legs heal up some but that means I’ll have to cut 600 cals out of my meals today and I’m not sure how I’ll do it….maybe I won’t…I think I can afford to be over a little today….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft…but, I do have time this morning so maybe I’ll get something done before pool…more later…

August 5th

Well…I remembered to come here this morning! That’s a little unusual for a Sunday morning and I’ll take it….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done other than the bathroom but I guess that’s something….slept okay last night but lost the earplugs again and I’m not sure what that is about….think I’ll try a new pair tonight….woke up with no pain at all today and that has me a little confused since I always hurt somewhere…but, I’m happy that my neck is finally healed and I can move it…I do need to cook today and I have some pork chops marinating that have been in the marinade since Friday and I hope I finally have found a way to use pork loin that gives it some flavor…think I’ll use the broiler to cook them to try to get some crust on them….can’t wait to have a grill again….not much to do today…watching the Moto GP race right now and then out on the bike….more later…

Didn’t get to 2,000…

Well…not sure if it was a real goal or not, but I didn’t get to 2,000 miles before the end of July…missed it by 75 miles but that still is more than I have ridden before by this time of the year. Okay, I did get there if I include the 161 miles I rode on the road bike but I think I’ll just continue to only count the miles on the new bike….it was such a good ride this morning that I ignored my rule that Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be recovery rides where I let my legs heal up some…just felt too good to take it easy….I am really happy with the new bike…it rides like new after almost 2,000 miles and I couldn’t say that about the Motobecane…it had started to deteriorate by this mileage and then it was constant work to keep it rideable…I haven’t had to do anything to this one and that is pretty cool for an inexpensive bike…..there was a crowd of spandex boys out on the street today…there must have been 25 of them in this group and they were taking up an entire lane on Eastern…something that I will never do…just too dangerous with all the texters out there….

August 4th

Well…up way too darn early today and that means I’m early here, too…slept okay last night but just feel a little slow today so I’m easing into it with coffee and the tv running in the background…had a nice day yesterday but I think I may have been too long in the sun since I can still feel the tightness this morning so I’ll take the day off today and let it heal up….don’t have a lot of motivation right now so I’m not sure how much I’ll get done today…should feel better after I get on the bike in a few….not sure what I’m going to cook today but I do know I need to eat more…again…so maybe a burger and the rest of the pulled pork…should make a salad, too since I have all of the makings for it and don’t want the tomatoes to go bad….not much to do today…I am going to clean some after the bike ride and there is a race on that I can nap through so that makes for a nice afternoon….more later….

August 3rd

Well…running early today and there is no reason for it other than getting up early….slept okay without earplugs last night and I think my ears like it…so, I may try it again tonight…not too sore this morning and I can move my neck today so that is an improvement over yesterday…I did get scorched lying out in the sun and that is odd since I’ve done that all week with no problems…so, I think I’ll have to take the day off and let my skin rest….I did run an errand to try to get some things I need and it was a bust…didn’t spend any money so I guess that was a good thing…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will do some work around here today so I won’t feel guilty about it….I am a little irritated that the storms formed to the east of us last night and we didn’t get any…there haven’t been many this summer and I really want to see some….not much to do today…need to run an errand after the bike ride but that is about it….more later….

August 2nd

Well…running a little early for a Thursday since I didn’t have a lot to get for groceries this morning….still spent 48 bucks but didn’t get a lot…slept okay last night and feel pretty good today after taking 3 nights off and being good….it’s raining a little right now so I’m going to wait a bit to get out on the bike….don’t mind getting wet but I still need more coffee and the rain may be gone by then…I did get out and got some chicken yesterday but it needs to thaw to use….okay, took a little break for a minute to talk to Brian and see some videos of him teaching his grandson to fish….it’s raining out there right now so I may run over to Menards first today….need a new trash can for the kitchen and some new wiper blades for the car…was going to wait but they’re only 5 bucks each so I should get that done….I did get some cleaning done yesterday and I think I’ll do the rest of the kitchen this aft….more later….
