Well…just getting ready to go out to pool but thought I’d relay this little tidbit that happened today on the trail….was coming down the last long straight coming back here when I felt a little peck on the top of my hat…I turned around and didn’t see anything so I kept riding and it happened again…and then again so I turned around and saw that it was a red winged blackbird doing the attacking…had to just laugh…it’s the first time it’s happened this year and it must be nesting time for those birds…oh, and there were tiny bunnies out today too, and tiny deer…saw one today that was smaller than a dog…

Well…running a little late today…went out to put gas in the car and then wash it…gas is supposed to go up by 50 cents a gallon today and I wanted to get it filled before that…it is really weird to be out and about that early…and the traffic is nuts so I’m pretty sure I won’t do that again…slept in all the way til 7 today and that was good for a change…getting up at 5 is just too damn early…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will probably be the same with pool this aft…I really should get some dusting done and remove the cobwebs but I  guess I’m just not motivated to do much…I was going to do the brakes on the car this week but they stopped making noise so I’m re thinking that….but, it is so cheap to do them I still may…and, I’ll have the new credit card by Wed so I may use it to order the brake parts….more later…

Well…almost forgot to come here…again…and I am trying to figure out why it’s a Sunday thing….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…just a little slow so I’m going to ease into it and have some more coffee…it’s too early to get out on the bike and the MotoGP race is going to start in a minute so I’m going to just sit here and watch the start….that’s the problem with getting up so early every day…I get everything done before 9 and that makes the rest of the day a little boring….didn’t get a lot done yesterday…hmmm…that’s getting to be a theme around here…I will try to clean a little today after I cook something for lunch…have some chicken that needs to be cooked so I guess I’ll have that….I did wear a new pair of workout shorts on the bike yesterday and, with the new shoes, I look almost stylish….and they are quite comfortable so I guess they are worth the 11 bucks I paid for them….more later….

Well…running early today with getting up at 5…again…and that is getting to be pretty darn annoying….slept okay, I think, and don’t feel too badly so far today…my back did crack yesterday so that pain is gone but both of my thighs hurt like crazy this morning…it’s good that today is a no sprint day…need to take is easy so they can heal up…and I’ll take something for it before I get on the bike….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t really need to and today will be filled with lots of races so I’ll probably veg it out after the ride….I do need to go to Meijers to get some eggs today with them on sale for 49 cents a dozen…can’t pass that up….might do that before the bike ride….more later….

Well…have been up since 5 and didn’t sleep at all last night so I am feeling it today…just feel crappy right now and I am hoping that the coffee will do it’s thing right now….but, my back cracked yesterday afternoon so I guess that’s something…I am getting a little tired of the humidity and am looking forward to it cooling off some this weekend….my allergies are off the charts today and I have a dull headache that has been here for almost a week…the little allergy tabs seem to be working less and less so I guess I’ll have to try something else soon…or maybe take the suggested dosage of two at a time…didn’t get much done yesterday but I have some errands to run this morning after the bike ride…will probably get out early today since getting up so early has started my day way too early….more later….

Well…running on time this morning and feel good that I didn’t spend as much on groceries this week…I did get some healthy food so there will be salads in the future…slept okay last night but I am disappointed with the storms that came through yesterday…just rain and no lightning or thunder…I need to be entertained…other than that, it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I think I need to do some cleaning today but I am already sweating with the humidity so I may wait until it goes down some…it should be a nice bike ride today since my back just cracked and the pain in my left leg is gone…have been waiting for that to happen for a few days now and it is a relief….not much to do today…just going to ease into it and have more coffee before I decide what to do…more later…

Well…running early today with getting up at 6 again…that seems to be settling in as the new normal and I’m okay with that…but, I may have to reset the timer on the coffee maker so it will be ready when I get up…had a pretty nice day yesterday with getting out to have a couple with T and having the top down over and back…always fun conversation, too….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning but haven’t gotten the back to crack yet and that hurts a little…the bugs are invading this place and I’ll need to spray for them today….huge ants and lots of spiders and that is just annoying….I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday with no shortness of breath so that is a relief…was a little concerned with how I felt on the bike Monday but I guess it was just a passing thing….not much to do today…might run an errand this morning or I might not…not sure yet…and I do have some fish to cook so that will give me something to do…more later…

Well….running a little early today with getting up at 6:05…and that made me laugh…if you know Steely Dan, you’ll know the significance of that time…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning…just a little slow waiting for the coffee to start working…my back has been a little hinky the past couple of days and I am going to work on getting it to release later this morning…I am still a little geeked that I am getting my second credit card in a week or so and the credit repair moves forward….can’t believe the deal they offered but I’ll take it…not even any interest until August of next year….I may be having lunch with T today if she feels good enough to do it….I worry about her sometimes….not much to do today…the normal stuff and an errand, and then lunch but that will be about it for the day….more later…I’ll get back to politics today if I can come up with a topic…

Well…I think I damn near killed myself on the bike this morning and I am still feeling pretty beat up from it…not sure why it was such a struggle today but I was having problems catching my breath at times…this happens a couple of times a year and I think I may have not eaten enough…just a small burger for lunch and three tacos for dinner…so I may have done it to myself…we’ll see…oh, the good news…just got approved for my second credit card! It’s from capital one and has a 5K limit, no annual fee, 1.5% cash back, and I get 150 bucks back if I spend 500 dollars on it in the first three months…something that will be pretty easy if I stop using the secure one and put all my groceries on it…maybe even a new set of tires…they would be almost free…yay!

Well…running about on time today but I am feeling a little slow so the coffee needs to start working soon…slept okay last night but on my right shoulder and it hurts today…but, nothing else does so I guess that’s something…it was a wasted day yesterday with all the races on and that means nothing got done but I am going to try to do some cleaning today…it’s supposed to be almost 95 again today but it was almost that warm yesterday and it stayed comfortable in here so no air again today…didn’t have to cook yesterday but I am going to make some big ribs today and then some leftover tacos later….no pool today with it being a holiday so I guess I’ll just veg out the day and take a long bike ride…more later….
