Well…just finished up the work that I had to do today…it took longer than I expected….but, were back to the Hammond B-3 count and just saw two more groups that use the B-3..Umphree’s McGee and The String Cheese Incident were on AXS tv doing concerts today and both had a B-3 on stage….so let’s add two more groups and keep the count going….can’t remember if I put Buddy Guy in the count yet but if I haven’t, he needs to go in, too….

November 12th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and they came and finished my bathroom ceiling so that makes things easier in the morning….it was so nice that I had the top down in short sleeves on the way out and back but today is just ugly out there and it looks like no bike ride today…I have a lot of work to do around here so that works out pretty well…have had cramps in my right big toe for a couple of days now and that is kind of weird…I think I’m clenching it on the bike and will have to remember to relax when I go out…it is nice to have everything back to normal around here and it will be a relaxing day today…I hope….still need to take some ibuprofen this morning since my forearms are sore for some reason and it will probably help my back, too…not much to do today…just work around here, laundry and cleaning…and I need to finish off the leftovers so I can cook again…more later…
Oh, one last thing, happy birthday to Neil Young…70 frickin years old today…wow….
November 11th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and the nice lunch with T helped the rest of it…slept crappy again last night and feel it today…and, the time out with G didn’t help…and not getting on the bike while I was waiting for the idiots to come and finish the bathroom didn’t help either….they did promise that they will come this morning so we’ll see if that happens…my back has been really sore the past few days and I haven’t been able to get it to crack like normal…it even hurts on the bike which spikes every time I use my right leg….bitch, bitch, bitch….I am grumpy with my life being disrupted for the past two weeks..but, I did get a nice new coffee mug from T yesterday and that makes me smile a bit…the thing is huge and red since it is a Salvation Army mug so I guess I’ll have to fill it half way….not much to do today…pool of course and then I’ll have to clean my bathroom but I think I’ll let that wait til tomorrow…more later….
Some musings…or bitching…
Well…another day goes by and they still didn’t come to fix my bathroom so I had to go to the office to bitch…maybe they’ll come tomorrow…I am starting to get a little pissed about this whole ordeal and the disruption it is having on my life…..I was going to talk about the repub debate tonight but I am so bored with all the hate and ignorance that I won’t watch this one….I’ll let other people that get paid to do it watch it and I’ll just comment on the analysis tomorrow….it was a nice lunch with T today but I didn’t shoot pool…Tom had to reschedule and that worked out okay since it gave me time to go to the office and bitch….I did get the top down on the car and it was really quite nice….might be able to do that again tomorrow but then the weather is going to go to hell so I won’t be on the bike or have the top down until next week….okay…that’s about enough…I know there’s not really any content here but you see that sometimes….
November 10th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but this one is going to be different….my internet is going to be down periodically for the next three days so there may not be as much content added as would be usual…this goes with the guys not coming to finish my bathroom ceiling yesterday and I am starting to get really annoyed about that…I have work to do around here and can’t do that with people coming in and out…aaargh….I mean, how long should it take to replace a 2×4 foot piece of drywall? Going to bitch to the office here if it’s not done today….I would like to get the damn thing cleaned and be able to put my stuff back out….slept okay last night and had some strange, recurring dreams that are boring me…I do have lunch with T to look forward to along with pool today but I don’t think I’ll have enough time to get a bike ride in and shower before that…so it looks like I’ll be off the bike today…damn….more later….
Starbucks declares war on Christmas…
Well…I kinda figured you were tired of me writing about ole Ben Carson so I thought I’d go another direction today….if you haven’t heard, Starbucks has declared war on Christmas….at least according to some of the really crazy religionists on the right…and, how are they doing that you may ask? They have taken aim at Christmas by taking the snowflakes and reindeer off of their cups! I tell you it’s a travesty…Christmas will be ruined now that you can only get plain red cups for your coffee in the morning! Yeah, that sounds pretty ridiculous, huh? But, there are a bunch of nuts on the right who have taken this seriously to the point that a rant video by one of these nuts had gotten over 10 million hits…and write-ups in many of the mainstream newspapers followed…and not even tongue in cheek like my rant here…I wonder if we are going to have to endure this crap for the next two months when someone somewhere doesn’t celebrate Christmas to the satisfaction of these crazies…I know it will give me something to ridicule but I mean, really? Don’t these folks have anything better to do? I’ll bet Starbucks is shaking with the threat of a boycott…okay, I even laughed at that one….geez…
November 9th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…I think I’m going to stop feeling bad about that….I did get to watch a lot of sports so that was cool…and I got a nice bike ride in so I guess the day wasn’t a total waste….feel really crappy this morning and I think it’s from not eating enough yesterday…damn…not sure how I fix that…I know…eat more…but that’s harder than it looks….slept okay and had more Miata dreams of not being able to find where I parked it…not sure what that is about either….that’s not even a fear of mine…wonder if it’s literally about losing it? Hmmm….not too sore today and I think the bug might be breaking since I am coughing less this morning but I still feel crappy so maybe not….not much to do today…I hope they finish the damn bathroom today since it is so fricking annoying prepping for the work every day….I think I’ll take it easy and just feel better….more later….
Just one more on ole Ben…
Well…I know I’ve been doing a lot of these on ole Ben Carson but damn, he’s such an easy target that I just have to….and the latest thing shows that this idiot has an ego that is bigger than anyone’s in the world probably…the other day, trying to justify his absolute lack of political experience and knowledge, he compared himself to the founding fathers, stating that none of them had ever held elected office either…but, when he was told that most of them really had held offices in the early governments before the US was born, he comes back with the lame, lame qualifier that none of them had held FEDERAL office….which of course is true since there were no federal offices at that time. The whole idea that this idiot is comparing himself to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest is just the worst sort of egoism…the only thing he has in common with any of these guys is his first name…to compare himself to the people who built the structure of this country that endures to this day is so over the top that I am going to stop commenting here and just let that soak in for a while…what a maroon…..
November 8th
Well…running a little late today with watching the Moto GP race that just ended…slept okay last night but don’t remember the dreams that I had…forgot to try to remember after I woke up and that usually means I won’t remember…darn….not really very sore this morning and that feels good for a change…I still have pain in my forearms but I think that is from tendonitus that I just live with….it is really cold this morning so the bike ride is going to have to wait a while…had to warm the car up for the first time with the frost on it and I knew it was coming but that doesn’t make it any better…didn’t get much done yesterday so today will have to be different…really don’t have much to do with cleaning all week but the kitchen could use a going over and I think I’ll do that…not much to do today…football, soccer and racing is about it….just a normal Sunday….
Belated snakes on the trail…
Well…haven’t written about this one yet and I almost forgot to do it…it has been a good November on the bike so far but it has been a little unusual, too….the last day that it was really warm I saw something I’ve never seen in November before…snakes on the trail…it was almost 70 when I went out and I saw 4 snakes just sitting on the trail, probably warming themselves since the night was kind of cold…weird but cool…and the bike is still working like a champ…still squeaking but everything else is working great….probably didn’t need to buy the new shifter…..
