Too weird…

Well…when I was picking berries yesterday, I lost my sunglasses somewhere in the patch….after looking for them for a half hour or so, I just gave up and finished my ride. So, today….I go out and take the bike ride and decide I’ll give it one more shot to try to find them….so, I pull up to the patch and there they are, just sitting in the grass where I must have passed them four or five times…I’m still shaking my head at that one…it was cool to find them but I know I looked where I found them yesterday…weird…

July 6th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…but not enough…I have a bunch of huge spiders in the bathroom and they are going to go today…slept okay last night and feel okay today…I think the coffee is starting to work and I will need that on the bike ride today…I am getting used to not having music on the bike and it is not that bad anymore…I did get a bunch more berries yesterday and I am still splurging on calories with the ice cream since it just tastes good….I am sore today, again, but it is better than yesterday so that is progress…I did get out to see the twins yesterday and that was fun and the mex place has such cheap beer that I should go there all the time…I mean 2 bucks for a 20 oz draft? Even I can afford that…..not much to do today…I may try to repair the grill today since new burners are on sale for 14 bucks at Meijers and the one I looked at this morning looks like it will fit…need to take it apart after the bike ride to make sure….more later…

July 5th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…woke up sore this morning from the golfing and I hurt in some really strange places that I don’t remember hurting the last time….slept okay last night but feel a little crappy today…have been coughing, too, so I’m not sure what is going on…but, it doesn’t feel like a bug so I guess I’ll just wait and see….I did treat myself to some ice cream with black raspberries that I picked on the ride the other day…kind of a tradition around my birthday and it just tastes so good…I think it’s the first time I’ve had it in over 10 years but I think I can afford the calories for this one time thing….not much to do today…watching the F1 race right now then I’ll get out on the bike…can’t wait for the women’s world cup match tonight….go USA!

A few things…

Well…just had to comment on a commercial I just saw…does anyone else think the guy playing Colonel Sanders in the new KFC ads sounds like Jon Stewart doing his GW impression? Even down to the grating chuckles at the end? I sure do and it makes me cringe every time I see it. One other thing…out on the bike today and came across a burned out patch of the trail that was littered with what looked like car window glass…just south of 60th st at Wing where you can drive your car right onto the trail…there was even leftover firefighting foam all over the place…and the asphalt of the trail is just melted for about 8 feet of it…not something you see everyday….

July 4th

Well….it was an okay but busy day yesterday…and I lost at pool but that was okay…I did get out to hit a few balls and I’m not sore today so that is kind of weird…I do have some pain in my elbow but I think that was there before…slept okay last night and have been up since really early and have already gotten the grocery run in and need to finish this before F1 qualifying starts in a few minutes…I did do the bike ride without music yesterday and it is just tedious…but it did show me that I need to really lube the bike better since it makes lots of noise that I can’t take…so that will be a project for today…not much to do today…just the bike ride and then I am going to make some cash this aft so that will be cool…more later…

July 3rd

Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I made enough cash to get through the next week so that was cool…slept crappy and that is the new normal…crap…but, I just need to stop thinking about it…my back is really sore today and I was going to go hit some golf balls but the F1 practice is on in a few minutes and I want to see that…and I need to run an errand this morning so the bike ride is going to go for the day….if the practice is boring, I may just put the clubs in the car and take a run over to the range….need to take some ibuprofen right now so it will work before I go out the door…not much to do today…just fooling around mostly, then pool this aft…I will get to try the cd player in the car for the first time since I had it put in almost three years ago….more later…

What a day….

Well…this was a day that started out great and then threw some curve balls my way….had a nice lunch with T but My mp-3 player died on the way home…tried to repair it but I just don’t have the vision or equipment to do that…so, I bought a new one for 49 bucks that I can afford once I get my income tax back….then, I get a burger ready for the grill and the burner rusted out making the flames a little large…going to continue to use it until it blows up or stops working since I can’t find a replacement burner anywhere…may try at Meijers Sat since I know they carry that stuff but I don’t want to do a lot of work…I did make some cash so I guess that helps but no music on the bike until next week is going to be a pain…oh, well….

July 2nd

Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I started the weekend cleaning process with getting rid of the cobwebs in my room…much more to do but with everyone out of town, I’ll have plenty of time…slept okay last night but still no dreams..oh, well….I did get a few errands run and a good ride on the bike so that is something of an accomplishment….I am sore everywhere, though, so getting out to the driving range might be a little too painful tomorrow morning…going to try the ibuprofen today to see if that helps on the bike…not much to do today…I do have lunch with T to look forward to and I am going to make a little cash, too, so that will make for a weekend that I can eat and drink…more later…

July 1st

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and still didn’t get much done but that is okay with me….it has gotten kind of mesmerizing to watch the spiders in the bathroom but they do have to go since they are now encroaching on my space…slept okay but got up early so that makes running this late kind of puzzling…I did have to do the grocery run this morning since I was out of food and forgot to take the last chicken out of the freezer…I wanted some ground chuck anyway and I am going to make tacos in the next day or so….I did have dreams of the Miata just shutting off on the highway and leaving me stranded and that may have to do with how reliable it’s been over the past three years…not sure….my back is still killing me so I guess I’ll have to take some ibuprofen before the bike ride…need to get out in the next two days to hit some golf balls to see if the back will hold up for 9 holes…G wants to golf Sunday and I’m not sure it will work….not much to do today…I need to get the normal stuff done and then I have to run an errand for T but that is about it…more later…

June 30th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…back to the not sleeping again and I am tired of it…had another tube failure on the bike yesterday so I went to another brand to see if I can get past it…rode the thing home 3 miles with it flat since I was just not going to walk….didn’t get a lot done other than the ride and repairs, though, and today looks much the same….going to get my hair cut in a few since it is long enough to rub on the lining of the top of the car and that just annoys the heck out of me….and it looks pretty shaggy…not much to do today…going to get some stuff done around here and get one more of these done but that is about it…more later…
