Well….running a little late today with having to stop at two stores to finish up the groceries….and that was a pain…but, I had the top down in the car and it was cool…but, it is so darn muggy out there and in here that I am sweating already…should be a nice ride on the bike this morning…I am a little disappointed we didn’t get any storms yesterday and it looks like we won’t today….darn…slept okay last night and feel pretty good today so I think I’ll get some things done around here….I do need to get a chicken brining to get ready to roast it…but, I may wait until tomorrow so I can cook it Sat….68 cents a pound is pretty cheap for a whole chicken….I do need to figure out what I am going to have for the second meal, though….not much to do today…I think I’ll clean up around my weight machine and vacuum…not a lot of work but something…more later….

Well….up and running early today but that’s not unusual when I’m good the previous night….my knees started to hurt yesterday and that continues today…I thought the moving tendonitus had settled in my wrists this year but it just may have picked this week to move to the knees….we’ll see when I get out on the bike today….slept okay last night and even had a little dream time and that hasn’t happened in a month or more so that was cool….had to chase a bee around the place last night and found out I didn’t do a good job of getting rid of the spiders since it flew into a web and I watched the spider work on it for almost an hour…tiny little spider….not much to do today…started cleaning, finally, and will continue that today with more work on the living room…more later….

Well…have been up since 6 and I’m not sure why I’m running late….I think I’m bored already and that might be part of it….slept okay last night but I still have the fatigue that I’ve had a for a few days now…part of that is I’ve been on the bike for three months straight now and I need to find an excuse to stay off it for a day….almost did yesterday but it was just too nice…don’t hurt too much today but I still think I’ll take something before I get on the bike…that works really well after I’m done and keeps me from hobbling later in the day….not much to do today….I did start getting rid of the cobwebs yesterday and need to continue that today….and maybe cook something…that may help the fatigue, too….more later…..

Well….still having problems getting going again and I think the fatigue may keep me off the bike today…I need a day off at some point…but, I may wait until Wed when it will be raining….slept okay but lost an earplug again and that is annoying…..at least my back doesn’t hurt today and that is a good thing….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will change that today…..after coffee that is….I do need to vacuum today and get rid of some cobwebs…just had an annoying one across my face and I hate that….more later….

Well…not feeling the political thing today so I am going to avoid it and just do one on trail stuff and other happenings. I did get to the most miles of any week for me last week when I did 280 miles…and that is almost 3 times more than I ride in a week…this week will be back to normal and I am still surprised I didn’t do any damage to my body after those numbers…I did see a loon in one of the ponds along M-6 a couple of times this week and I can’t remember ever seeing one of those…normally, there are either a crane or a heron in that pond…and there was even a new brood of ducks there today which is really late in the year for that….oh, and in the pond at the start of the ride, I think we have some beavers there now….there are trees down all around the edges with the v-shaped cuts that beavers make….haven’t seen any of them yet and I can’t find the lodge that should be there…but the chain link fence keeps you so far away I may never see it….still pretty cool….

Well…running late today for some reason that I really don’t recognize right now….slept okay last night and put the air on for a third day in a row…I could get used to that….but it is nice this morning with the windows open again…waiting for the rain to come and it is really dark for it being 8 am…..can barely see the letters on the keys….I do need to take a day off the bike and I’m hoping today will be the day….okay, the rain just started but that means it will be over before too long and then the guilt will kick in and I’ll have to get on the bike….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I am going to try to do a few things today….I need to vacuum and clean the kitchen a little…and I need to cook today, too…so that will be something….more later….

Well…running a little late today and I don’t care that much….it’s still before 8….it was a nice day yesterday and had a nice ride out and back to pool…and I won….I feel a little slow today and I am a little disappointed that the rain is not giving me an excuse to stay off the bike today….have been on it every day for 3 months now and I think my legs can use the rest….maybe I’ll take an easy one today…I did take ibuprofen before the ride yesterday and it helped quite a bit with the pain after the ride was done…didn’t get anything done yesterday so I guess I’ll have to clean some today…I am going to cook today so maybe that will be enough work? Okay…need some coffee and to read some news….more later….

Well…just can’t get started this morning….as you can tell…had a pretty good day yesterday but didn’t do a whole lot…I did get out to try to even out the tan again but that got boring quite quickly so I only did 20 mins a side….slept okay last night but just feel slow today…I guess that’s to be expected…haven’t had a lot of energy on the bike lately and I was hoping for a day off today…but there is no rain for us today so I guess I’ll wait til tomorrow….had back pain all day yesterday but it seems to be gone today but we’ll see later…..not much to do today….it’s supposed to be hot today but I am still putting the top down going out to pool…..but I won’t get anything else done…I did put the air on for a second day in a row last night and today looks like the same…..just got tired of being sweaty….more later…

Well…sitting here hoping for the rain to continue so I can justify taking the day off the bike…not sure if it will or not but I can hope….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get to see T again since she was still down with migraines….wouldn’t wish that on anyone….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning and my back is better…no pain so far today and I hope that continues…I did go over 1500 miles on the bike already this summer and now I am shooting for 3K for the year…my legs have been really flat the past few days and part of it is from the long ride but I know I’m still not eating enough….I did spend 60 bucks on groceries this morning and I have chicken and pork chops for this week…have to get through the leftovers today and then I can cook tomorrow….not much to do today…going to clean if I don’t get on the bike…or even if I do…not sure….more later…

Well…started to feel sore this morning and I’m not sure why there should be such a long lag time from sat’s ride…it’s not too bad so I can live with it…slept pretty crappy again last night and have been up since 4:38 which is just a little too early….didn’t get a lot done yesterday other than laundry and the normal stuff and today looks the same…I may go out to meet up with T later…but I’m not really planning on it…she’s just too busy these days….I am hoping that we get some storms later today since I have been pretty bored with the weather lately…I think I may have a bug of some sort…I am really tired this morning and I know that I haven’t been sleeping but this is different…..just sitting here doing this I am exhausted…and I was good last night so that can’t be it….oh, well….I do have some cleaning to do today…my weight machine is shedding plastic and I need to get that cleaned up…more later….
