Well…something that I saw on the bike ride just bubbled up into my brain and I thought I’d ask a question…is it weird to have a funeral home covered in Christmas decorations? There is one on Kalamazoo just south of 44th street that is and I can’t remember ever seeing one done up that way…is it weird or is it just me? Not sure…

Well…took a look at the top on the car before I went out on the bike to be able to formulate a plan to fix it while I was riding…and, to my surprise, there was nothing wrong with it…it just looked like it when it was folded in the cold…so that was some good news and made the ride much more pleasant…and, I got out in shorts with no gloves so that was cool…and the bridge into the park was repaired today, too…all new decking and guard rails…the parks department from Kentwood really takes good care of their trails….so, a pretty good start to my day….

Well…just can’t get started this morning so this one is a little late…and I’m still coughing and I’m not sure if it’s allergies or that darn cold still…whatever it is, I’m tired of it and want it to go away…slept okay last night but feel pretty slow this morning so I’m going to ease into the day…and it is already almost 50 so I’ll get out on the bike in shorts today…and I’ll get on the top repairs after I get my workout done….oh, I did win at pool yesterday…and I had the top down out and back….and that was fun….not much to do today..after fixing the top, that is….just going to fool around most of the day and take it easy….more later….

Well…running a little late today…didn’t get up until 7:30 again and that is getting to be almost normal…slept okay but didn’t have any dreams again….darn….it was an okay day yesterday but all I did was watch some sports and be bored….at least the Lions didn’t play and lose….I did get a nice bike ride in and did get over the damaged bridge into the park so I got a full ride in….and I hope it warms up soon so I get out today….it was only 31 when I went out yesterday and that is a little cold…not much to do today…have pool later but that is about it…and I need to do another one of these….more later….

Well…running a little late today since I had to run the car to melt the ice on it before I went out to get the paper….not sure I’m ready for that…slept okay last night and feel okay today but don’t have enough coffee so I think I may have to make more….didn’t get much done yesterday and probably won’t today either….once I have this place cleaned up, it usually stays clean for quite a while…my back has been good for almost 3 weeks now and that is a good thing…and I’m not really sore anywhere other than the normal pain that I have all the time…going to have to wait to get out on the bike today since it is only 23 degrees outside right now and I don’t want to do full thermasuit…..and the Lions don’t play today so I will be able to go out later…..more later…..

Well…running late today since I didn’t get up until 7:30 and that is really weird for me….slept okay last night but I’m having a hard time getting going…but, I really don’t need to get going too much with nothing to do today…other than sports….F1 qualifying right now, then into Man U, and then Michigan at noon…so I’ll need to find a hole to get the bike ride in….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but clean my oven and that was needed…but I won’t be using it for a while after cooking t-day dinner….it’s already 45 degrees outside so I can get on the bike in shorts again but that ends today…it will be back to the full thermasuit for tomorrow….okay, I need coffee and to watch qualifying…more later….

Well…should have done this one yesterday since that is when I got to 2900 miles for the year, but today is as good any time, I guess….I did get a good ride in this morning even going out in shorts and that was fun…and I wasn’t even cold…did have cramps in my hands again and that is not fun but they seem to be okay now…it looks like I’ll make 3K for the year and that is always the goal….I am going to start looking for a new bike soon since I think I can afford one after the new year….

Well….up early today and trying to get moving but it’s not working too well right now….slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today….need to make coffee with only enough leftover to fill one cup…and that will not be enough for today…but, the coffee maker needs to cool down for a bit before I make more….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but cooking and today will probably follow that pattern….I do need to put the trash out since it stinks but that will probably be the only job I do today…..think I’ll just veg and watch some sports today…after I get out on the bike…and I may wait to go out until it’s warm enough to go out in shorts….have to find my jeans today so I can start wearing them…I did get to t-day in shorts again this year and I may continue that for a while…not sure yet…more later….

Well…just sitting here watching the Lions lose and thought I’d do a little update on the day so far….I think I have turkey figured out…this one came out perfect with the OJ and veggie broth for the brine…the skin crisped up just right and even the white meat was juicy…and I had eaten and cleaned everything up and put it away before 1…but, I ate so much that I am still full 3 hours later…not sure if I’ll need another meal today but I so want a turkey sandwich….maybe later….and I don’t think I’ll be back for another one today…but, you never know…

Well….almost forgot to do this again today and I’m not sure why….I guess my routine is a little off today with starting to cook the t-day dinner…have the pie in now and the turkey will go in when that is done so it will be ready around noon….and I’ll have time to get a bike ride in while the turkey is cooking….slept okay last night but the Wings got their butts kicked and that is a little depressing….but, they should get better as the year goes on…I hope….I did get a few things done yesterday and I now have a clean bathroom…so there isn’t really anything to do today but cook and eat…and watch the Lions lose…..and maybe come back to do another one of these today….not sure about that but I’ll try….more later….
