Well…the coffee needs to work right now if I’m going to get anything done today…it’s already 6:30 and I feel so damn worn out that it’s going to be a task to get started…I think I’m going to do the grocery run today just for the hell of it…the rain has moved through so I’ll be able to put the top down on the car and enjoy the trip…didn’t get a lot done yesterday so I’ll have to do better today…need to change out the bedding since I haven’t done that for a couple of weeks and it needs to be done more often than that..I wonder if I can take a day off anytime soon? Ha,ha…yeah, that’s not going to happen but it’s nice to think about…I may start the window cleaning today since they are really filled with dust and dirt…11 windows to be done and that normally takes a full day to complete…but I think I’ll break them up this year…or maybe not…who knows? Need to get my ass moving right now but I don’t know if I have the energy for it…this getting old crap is harder than it looks….more later…

Well…it’s over 80 here for the first time this year and I have the windows and porch door open to get some air flow going through here..got a ride in outdoors in just shorts and a t-shirt and rode through the condo complex again…there were a lot of riders out on bikes today and that was nice to see but they need to pay attention and follow the rules of the road…I did get the sticker and tab on the car and probably should drive it soon…I did finally get Meijers to refill one of my BP meds and will pick that up Wed…we may finally get some rain tonight and tomorrow and we can sure use it…hasn’t rained in over 3 weeks and everything is really dry…so I’ll probably wait til Thurs to mow again…I did get some yard stuff done and I need to put the trash out later after I start getting rid of stuff in the basement…okay, want to read a bit…

Well…the pattern continues…up at 5am but today I was able to get back to sleep til almost 6:30 but that hasn’t helped how worn out I feel…and I need to get on the bike right now to get on schedule for the day…it is supposed t be our first day of 80+ temps so I may be able to open this place up and air it out today…but the first ride will be indoors since it is only 46 right now but then I should be able to get outdoors as soon as that is done…I think I’m due for an easy day of only two rides soon but the guilt won’t let me do that yet…need to figure out meals for the week but I really have no taste for anything…can make some chili dogs and bean burritos I guess but that is all food that is bad for me but at my age, I wonder if that means anything anymore? I have to get started selling the old car but that is not something I want to do right now…maybe I’ll just give the damn thing away and avoid having to deal with it…I do feel like I should be driving the new car but, as I’ve said before, it is pretty pathetic that I don’t have anywhere to go…not much to do today…just need to get moving to start but that needs more coffee and that takes time I don’t have…crap…more later…

Well…have been wracking my brain all afternoon t come up with a political topic and haven’t been able to do it…oh, I could write about the 400 million dollar bribe that the idiot is going to take from the Qataris in the form of a customized Boeing 747 but I am just so damn tired if the idiot and writing about him so I won’t…so where does that leave me? Doing a filler for the first time in a long time…I just realized I haven’t driven the new car with the top up since I got it other than to load it on the ferry and that’s pretty cool…and even though the 6 disc in dash player is a little clunky, it’s nice to listen to entire albums again instead of playlists… and I have both cases filled with cds so I’ll have music for the entire summer…need to remember to put them in the car tomorrow along with the beach sticker and license plate tab…okay, want to go back to reading…

Well…after a year of delays, the trail through the condo/marina complex is back open again and I rode through it today…not sure if I’ll be using it much, though, since it was busy even with no people in the condos yet…will probably just keep using the bypass so I can get some speed going…and it’s pretty narrow compared to the trail that was there before…I did get three rides in before noon again and now it’s 12:30 and I have some cleaning to do before the nascar race comes on at 3 or so…still have the weight work to do but that can be done when the race is on…and I do want to read some this aft, too, so I guess I should get off my butt and get working…more later…

Well..damn, need to be on the indoor bike in 16 minutes and just dragged my ass out of bed…no coffee yet but I need to pour some down if I’m going to get a ride in before the MotoGP race at 7:30…it’s only 41 degrees outside right now so the outdoor rides are going to wait a bit…up at around 4 again today and I am so damn tired of it…might have to go back to the otc sleeping pills again but I haven’t needed them in years and I don’t want to do that if I don’t have to…but 4 hours of sleep a night is not enough…have to figure out meals for the next few days after I finish up the soup today…might make some bean burritos since I have all the ingredients for it…and I thawed some dogs for chili dogs so I do have options…yeah, I know…all bad for me but I’m tired of eating food that is good for me…just tired of eating in general with no teeth left to do it…the new car is just a little too big to clean it in the garage so the next time I’m going to back it out and do it in the driveway…could barely get in the doors without banging them into the grill or the studs…and I sure don’t want to do damage to it…not much to do today…need to get on the bike right now to get the indoor ride done by 7:30 but I am so damn tired of having discipline…want to just sit here and have more coffee but I won’t…more later…

Well…it’s been a pretty easy day today but I did get three rides in for 33 miles today…and I did the full 24th gear sprint on the way back on both outdoor rides since the wind was at my back blowing 15 mph or so…I really do like going with the wind like that and I really pushed myself enough that I know I’m going to hurt tomorrow since I already do…even passed a couple on e bikes that I left like they were standing still…and I was grinning like an idiot the whole time…finished up all three rides before noon and haven’t done anything but clean a little since…I do need to get the beach window sticker and the new license tab on the car but that can wait since there is no damn way I’ll be going to the beach until the water is warm enough to swim…so it looks like tomorrow will be about the same with races and rides…I really do want to take the car out for a drive but I don’t really know where to go…and that’s a little pathetic…oh, well…

Well…not sure what the heck is going on but I was up at 4 am again today and out of bed by 5:30 and that is just too damn early for me…or for anyone who is on a normal schedule…I think I’m going to have to clean the car out of the garage since it’s just a little too big to get in and out of the doors when it’s in the garage…but I have the glass done and I can put the beach sticker on and be ready to go out and get some swims in as soon as it gets warm enough…not going to buy a new beach chair since it wouldn’t fit in the new car’s trunk so I’ll use the 4 by 4 shipping pad I got from HF for my new beach blanket…but that is not going to happen til way into June…I sure hope the water is warmer this year…only had a few comfortable water days last year and I’m running out of years to swim…it looks like a one indoor and two outdoor ride day today and I need to wedge in the MotoGP sprint race at 9 so that gives me a lot of time to sit here and have coffee with it only 6:05 right now…might even have to make some pour over to get my old butt moving today…not much to do today…I really just want to go out and drive the new car but I don’t know where to go so I probably won’t…still too damn task oriented even at my advanced age and I need to figure out how to just fool around…have never been good at that….more later…

Well…after I decided to only do three rides today, that gave me enough time to work on the car a bit so I decided to do the glass and rainx it and then clean the interior and waxed the inner door parts that everyone always misses…then I cleaned the under hood parts of the front fenders and the trunk and I’ll start on the wheels tomorrow if it’s not raining…have to remember to put the registration and proof of insurance in the glove box…there are so many clever little details on this car from the way the top folds to be it’s own cover when it’s down to the soft opening glove box and the little cubbys of storage that are behind the seats and between them…I did get the string trimming done this morning but put the trimmer away with the gas cap pointing down and it dripped all over my bike and made for a long clean up and it still smells in the garage…oh, well…

Well…damn, it’s only 34 degrees out here right now and that is just wrong for the second week of May…woke up at around 4am today but was able to get back to sleep til almost 6 but that is not making me feel any better…have been trying to eat enough to support doing 30 miles on the bike every day but that’s harder than it looks…and I’m going to try to do two indoor and two outdoor rides today to go over 40 miles for the first time this year…but that means I need to get on the bike by 7am…just looked at the weather and it’s not going to be warm enough to go out til this aft so I guess start time can move back a bit…I really don’t have any big tasks to complete until I need to have blood drawn on the 26th so I am just going to enjoy the lull and take it easy for a change…it’s going to warm up into the 70’s for the next few days and I wonder if it’s time to go into shorts for the year yet? Don’t have any that fit me so I may have to buy a couple new pairs after losing a few of inches off my waist…not much to do today…just an easy wing it day after getting everything done yesterday…so I’m going to pour more coffee down and wait for it to work…more later…
