Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool….worked from 8 til 3 and I am a little sore from it…but I even got the bike ride in in the aft and don’t feel bad about skipping working out…will do that this morning….have been having some cramps in my calves and big toes out on the bike and I’m not sure what that is about….the toes still hurt now and I hope the traveling tendonitus is not settling there this year….for the second night in a row, I’ve had some dreams but again, I don’t remember them and that is frustrating since that would give me more to write about here…and lately, I’ve needed the help….not much to do today…have to hang around here to wait for the new exhaust to come that I am having installed tomorrow morning…will be nice to get my car back and be able to drive it like it likes….I do have to clean here but the trash bin is full so I will have to wait til they come to empty it before I can get started…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….didn’t even get a bike ride in since I had the front tire fail on the way out and didn’t want to chance it splitting and dumping me on the trail…slept okay and had some dreams that I don’t remember so they couldn’t have been very good…not sure why but I feel pretty crappy this morning and am having a hard time getting going…and I have stuff to do today so that is a problem….so I guess I’ll just sit here for a while and hope it gets better…I did eat enough yesterday…I think…so that is not it….hmmmm…not much to do today…need to get some work done around here and then run some errands but that is about it….more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done….slept okay but wasn’t good so I feel it today….almost didn’t make the goal for the month since I forgot that April only has 30 days in it…I was a little surprised to see 5/1 come up on the phone this morning…forgot to eat dinner last night so that is part of not feeling so great today and I need to do something about that….I wonder when we are going to get to spring? It is cold and rainy again this morning and I’m not sure if I want to brave it for a bike ride today…just can’t get motivated and the coffee is not helping…not much to do today….I should clean but I’m not sure if I will and I need to finish off all of the leftovers so I can cook again tomorrow…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool….made a little cash, too, so there will be groceries again this week…it was a long day with pool and then errands after and I am feeling it today…not too badly but a little slow…haven’t been on the bike in three days and I will need to get out today…it is too cold right now but there is no wind so I am itching to get out…going to rain this aft so it will have to happen this morning….oh, just checked and this is my 4,500th post here since I started this thing many years ago…that is a hell of a lot of writing and I’m not sure if I’ve learned anything from it or even gotten better as time has gone on…I’ll have to look back to the start to see the progression…might be something to do on a rainy day…not much to do today…have a bunch of stuff to do around here today along with cleaning so that will probably be about it….more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and the only thing I got done was the exhaust…but that saga was in another post so I won’t go into that here….did go out to meet G and had many more than a few to celebrate her getting an offer for a new job…and with cocktails here after that, it is going to be a challenging morning….and I forgot to eat dinner so that is going to compound it…oh, well….felt like crap when I got up but the coffee is helping…got a care package on my door this morning from Brian so I have more fish and and venison to eat…might thaw some and have it for lunch….or maybe take some to Tom…not sure yet…not much to do today…pool, of course, but that is about it…I wonder how loud the car will be when I put the top down later?….more later…

Well….got the car done and this new exhaust is way too loud for me…oh, well…out 180 bucks…I guess I can live with it for a while but I do need to find one that is much quieter…damn….

update: I found an oem super quiet system at rock auto for 130 bucks and ordered it…it comes with a 30 buck rebate so all I need to do is sell the other one for 100 bucks and I will be clear….

Update two: sent a nastygram to the people I bought the exhaust from and they agreed to take it back and return my money…and pay the shipping back….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….slept okay, too…so I have a little energy today…running early today since I have to have the car in to the shop at 8 for the new exhaust and I hope that goes off with no snags….my shoulder seems to be healing from I’m not sure what but there are still twinges of pain that I’m sure I would have aggravated if I would have tried the exhaust…and, it’s raining out there and I hate to get wet so that is a plus, too….feel okay today with being good for the fourth day now and I may make it 5 today…I am getting used to feeling okay…well…okay but for the allergies that are killing me…had to take something for it in the middle of the day yesterday and that is not normal…not much to do today….just the car and the grocery run then back here for cooking and cleaning….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done…but, the exhaust is turning out to be a bigger job than I expected and it will be the last time I ever do it on my own…got the bolts loose but the hangers are corroded, too and I’m not sure how I’m going to get them out….will try this aft but it would be so much easier with a lift….might have to look to see if there are any places where I could rent one for an hour…..crap….other than that, I feel okay today and I am looking forward to having lunch with T…haven’t seen here in a month and that means there will be lots to talk about….this one is going to be short since I am depressed about the car…more later….

Okay…car update…decided to talk to my repair guys this morning and schedule them to hang the new exhaust…only about 50 bucks to do it and that is so worth it…and it takes a load off me….so Tom, pool Friday…

Well….had been working for the past few days trying to get the bolts out of the exhaust so I can put the new one on…just couldn’t get them loose no matter what I tried…so I had a brainstorm to take it down to the shop that used to do all the work on the MX-6 and see if they could do it….5 minutes and an impact wrench was all it took to get them both loose and now I can change it out any time I want….it is a little loud since I didn’t want them to re-tighten them so I couldn’t get them off…and, it didn’t cost me anything but I did give them 10 bucks to buy the guys donuts tomorrow…so it looks like tomorrow aft or Thurs I will be changing out the old one for the new and maybe we can shoot pool this week after all….

Well….it was an okay day yesterday…got a few things done and my new exhaust came….it looks okay..good welds and if I could get the rusted nuts off, I could change it out here in about 15 minutes….slept okay last night but no dreams for the 2nd month in a row and that is pretty crappy…was good last night and feel good today but I hurt my shoulder working out yesterday so I need to take some ibuprofen to get the swelling in the tendon down..it is grinding and popping and catches with a nice little stab of pain every once in a while….oh, well….at least the rain last night cleaned the car up pretty well and it didn’t leak so I guess I have the top sealed right…I have been thinking about replacing my McGivered coffee maker with a new one….Target has one with a stainless carafe that I can’t break so maybe I will this week…need to get my hair cut tomorrow since the place I go is half price this week…a little early but that’s okay….not much to do today….going to hit the bolts on the exhaust with penetrating oil again and try to start loosening them and then just the normal stuff….more later….
