Well…it was an okay but busy day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was cool…didn’t sleep well but that’s normal and I feel worn out today…that may be from not getting any exercise yesterday and now I’m waiting for the rain to stop so I can get back into the routine….the car worked perfectly yesterday even with the 200 miles and hot temps and I even had the air on for the last 30 miles that felt food…need to check the gas mileage just to see where I’m sitting…still has a half tank left after 200 miles so the estimate is about 30 or so and that is pretty good…I can’t wait for this darned humidity to end…I am tired of being damp all the time…probably shouldn’t complain too much since it is quickly coming into the cold weather…not much to do today…going to get back into the routine and use this as a recovery day….more later…

Well…it has been a long day already with driving 200 miles to Mt. P and back but some good things came of it so that was cool….I haven’t really thought about a political one for the day so I probably won’t do one…the trip back was a bear with stop and go, bumper to bumper traffic all the way from Howard City to GR…and then it just had to rain but the cool thing was that it happened while I was stopped in traffic so I could put the top up without getting wet….I am a little sore from being in the car and my stomach has been crappy all day and I’m not sure what that is about…probably from not eating enough yesterday or today…just couldn’t choke down more than half a chicken breast and I know that’s not enough for an entire day….I’ll give eating a try again later but nothing seems good to me so that may be hard….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done at all and that is starting to concern me…but, not too much…slept okay and feel okay this morning but I do need more coffee to get moving….and my back is sore again today so I’ll have to get some aspirin here in a minute…I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but I am taking today off since I am making a run up to Mt P today to hang out with C for a while but I may be back here in time to take a late ride….I was really looking forward to having the top down but it looks like it is going to rain part way but we’ll see…other than the road trip, not much to do today….the 200 plus miles will take a lot out of me so it will probably be nap time when I get back here…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got some stuff done so that was cool…even cleaned some and that made me feel good..slept okay last night and had some dreams but I already don’t remember them so I guess I can’t report on them….my back seems to be better today and that is s a good thing since it hurt with every step and that was getting annoying…my shoulder is even better and I wonder if it is the aspirin I have been taking instead of ibuprofen….there is a robin that has just walked up to my screen on the slider and is just looking in here…I wonder if it would walk in if the screen was open? Not much to do today…it is a gorgeous morning with no wind so the bike ride is going to be a good one after I finish the F1 race and there is another race on tonight so that will be cool…I do have to clean the bathroom today, too, so I will have something to do…not sure how much I will do since it is going to be over 90 today…more later…

Well…it has been a day of getting a few things done but one thing made me laugh as I thought about it…as you know, I’ve been thinking about buying a battery booster for the days that it gets really cold here in Michigan since the battery in the Miata just won’t cut it when it gets to 10 below or so…I did go out and buy one today and when I was reading the specs I laughed out loud…the battery in the Miata is really tiny…it only has 375 CCA..compared to normal batteries that have 500+..well…when I looked at the specs on the new battery booster, I found that it has 400CCA…more that the Miata battery in a space about half the size…which is weird to me but cool…so, now when it gets cold this winter, I will have 775 CCA and that should start it since it was real close to starting on it own at 15 below….at least I hope it does…and at 40 bucks, I couldn’t pass it up…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool and made some money so that was cool…when I got back here my phone was blowing up since one of the guys here thought something had happened to me…even had one of the guys bang on my door to check on me…I think that is pretty cool…slept okay last night but feel a little crappy today with the allergies flaring up pretty good and I hope the storms that just rolled through will help with that…and, I am sore again today but I think that will be the new normal for me….I have been going like an idiot on the bike and the pain should be expected….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and a run out to HF to pick up a battery booster to get ready for the winter…and cleaning that I have been avoiding for a week now…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get anything done…maybe I’ll just stop talking about that…but, if I do that, I won’t have much to talk about…slept okay last night but no dreams again and it is a pain to waste a good night’s sleep and not dream…oh, well…I did cut the bike ride short yesterday since it was starting to rain and I just didn’t want to get wet…normally, I just keep going but there was some thunder involved and it would be too ironic to get hit by lightning when I use the bike ride to stay healthy….I did start to eat bad for the weekend with a couple of burgers yesterday and it looks like that will continue today with lunch with T and Mexican food for lunch….and then a burger later when I get home from pool….or maybe a salad…who knows? Not much to do today…pool, of course, and lunch with T, and the bike ride…cripes I need to get going…more later…

Well…sitting here on a relatively melancholy day and a thought came to me about how much hate is in the world these days…it seems like everyone hates everyone except those in their own little group…evangelicals hate the gays, the right hates the left, some on the left hate the right…some non-religious folks hate the religious ones, some religious folks hate we non-religious folks…workers hate business, business hates workers…different religions hate ones that aren’t them…you get my drift…but, my question is: ‘is there more hate or is it just more reported?” I fell into that hate trap a few years back and I can say it didn’t feel bad having that burning hate for GW Bush and his cronies  and even for the religious who were trying to force their religion on the country. It is easy to fall into that trap when you think you are right all the time and dismiss any other opinion…now, I’m not saying that all opinions carry the same weight…some are just wrong…like GW Bush was one of the best presidents in US history…this can be proven wrong by many measures…I guess what I’m saying is that since I got out of trying to prove everyone wrong that didn’t agree with me, my life has been so peaceful and my brain is not on fire anymore…I still do marvel at the stupidity and hate in the world abut I no longer feel that I have to do something about it…I look on it with bemusement…and amusement, but I don’t let it pollute me anymore….not sure what this one meant but I felt I had to say it….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the planned lunch with T didn’t come off and I was a little disappointed by that…slept okay and feel okay today but my back is killing me and I’m not sure why….hope it’s not getting worse but it is still not as bad as it used to be…I did have to put the air on in the car this morning since it is so humid and it was sprinkling…pretty neat that a 21 year old car still has cold air…might just have to put the air on in here since it is going to be another hot one today….wanted to get out on the bike this morning but I think I just heard thunder and, while I will go out in the rain, I won’t go out when there is lightning…just don’t need the threat….need to go look at the radar…not much to do today…T said she wanted to re-schedule lunch but I’m not holding my breath…so that will leave me with cleaning and getting ready for the Michigan game tonight..Go Blue!  More later.,…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got everything done I wanted to so that is something…slept crappy again last night but don’t feel too bad today…was good again last night and that will continue tonight…I did go too hard on the bike yesterday and i am feeling it today…my legs are really sore and my lower back is even involved…it is like a little stabbing pain with every step I take and that is getting annoying…I may have to try to crack it to relieve the pinch on the nerve…it did feel good to finally get back to full steam on the bike and I’m not sure why I have been taking it easy…it was one of the most humid days of the summer yesterday and I was soaked even before I left to get on the bike and it looks like the same thing today…I do have to get my hair cut this morning since it is rubbing on the inner liner on the top of the car and it feels like spiders on my head…not much to do today…may have lunch with T but that is about it….and cleaning, always cleaning….more later…
