Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress…the car looks good but that was all I did…okay…I got one thing done….slept okay last night and had a weird dream that had the low battery chime from my phone in it…yeah…strange…feel a little crappy this morning after being good all week but not last night….not sure I am going to have cocktails much anymore….I am sore…at least my back is today and that has been bugging me for a week now and I don’t like it…it’s not as bad as when I was younger but it seems to make me stiffer now than it did…not much to do today…pool, of course, but at a new place and I’m not sure I like that much….but that’s life and I guess I have to deal with it…more later…

Well…just got the site migrated to a new server that should make it more reliable….so maybe no more week long outages…I hope anyway….have been working on a new topic for the day and haven’t found one yet…have been kind of busy getting the car cleaned after all the gravel yesterday but I have it done now…new wipers…and that irritates me a little..bought some Michelin wipers that you would think would be high quality and they only lasted about 4 months before they started to steak like crazy…and the paint on the arms faded so bad they looked like they were 10 years old…and, I went back to rain-x for the windows just to try to keep them clean for a while….but, no politics right now…going to go back to the phone and look for a topic…more later….

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and wanting to have that second cup of coffee that I haven’t gotten to yet…not sure what that means but it sounded good in my head…slept okay last night but not good but better than the other night so that is something…didn’t get much done yesterday but go out and scout locations to shoot pool and did not find one that is better than the Shame…so, that looks like where we will be going this week…and, all of the roads to the bars that I checked out were just graveled so my car looks like it has been in the salt for a month and that means a wash this morning before the bike ride….what a pain….it looks like the day will be working on the car to get it clean and changing the wipers, along with rain-xing the glass to see if that will help on the cool mornings….the Lions start their preseason tonight so I will have something to watch tonight instead of digging back into shows I’ve already watched….

Oh, one thing I forgot earlier in the week was to say RIP to Buddy Baker…one of the Nascar drivers that I like when I started to follow the sport many, many, many, years ago…who died earlier in the week at 74….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…there will be groceries this week….back to sleeping crappy again just like yesterday and I almost forgot what it was like to wake up exhausted…but, I remember now and I don’t like it at all…I did get some stuff done yesterday so that was progress and I do have some things to do today, too, so that will keep the boredom at bay some….I have been so sore lately that I may have to take a day off the bike to let things heal up some…and these are not normal pains…well, now that I think of it, they are except for the shoulder stuff so we’ll go hard again today to see if it makes it worse….I do have to wash the car today but the workout and bike ride come first…not much to do today…just the car and cooking lunch but I may take the easy way out for that and just make a pizza…I do feel good that I have been losing weight but not fast enough for me…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday an I made some cash so that was cool…the sleep is back to the height of crappy and I am exhausted this morning just sitting here and doing this…but, I am hoping the coffee will counteract some of that so I can get the workout and bike ride in…it is another gorgeous Michigan morning out there and it would be a shame to waste it by being a slug….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did miss getting wet…twice…just walked in the door fro the bike ride and it started pouring and just got back from an errand in the car and it started to rain just as I got the top up….small bits of luck that I’ll take….after going hard on the bike the past two days, I am sore today but it’s not bad so I can live with it….not much to do today…I have a few things to do around here that need to be done today so that will be the priority for the morning…going to need to take a nap later with only getting about 4 hours of sleep last night…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…the sleep has gone to hell again, too, and that is really frustrating after having almost a week of it being good…oh, well…I guess it had to go bad again….and I am sore this morning and I’m not sure if it was from the full speed on the  bike yesterday of the tossing and turning last night…I guess it doesn’t matter, really….might have to take the day off the bike with it raining and that may be a good thing…I did feel great on the bike yesterday so that was something that I have been waiting for for a while and I can’t believe it has taken weeks to get over that bug….not much to do today…have some stuff to do around here but that will be done this morning so the aft will be a bore…there is soccer on so I guess that will help…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress…slept okay, too, so I feel okay this morning for some reason….I did get out to have a couple with K yesterday and that was fun but gives me a head start on the cocktail night that usually makes it hurt in the morning but not this time…finally got the bathroom de-spidered and cleaned and today should be the kitchen but we’ll see how that goes….the bike ride was fun yesterday and I felt pretty good out there…it appears the legs and lungs are back to full strength and part of that is going hard until I can’t go anymore….but today is going to be a no sprint day and probably some Pink Floyd in the ears but I’m not sure yet…I did get to watch the start of the BPL season yesterday and Man U looked pretty bad beating Spurs by only 1-0…at least they won…not much to do today….just the bike ride and cleaning..then a little napcar in the aft….more later…

Well…as you know, there are times that I comment on the spandex boys out on the trail; the bike riders in the thousands of  dollar bikes and spandex riding clothes from head to toe…probably fantasizing that they are in the Tour de France….and, until earlier in the week, it was always guys in those getups and quite a few of them shouldn’t be…as I’ve said before, no one looks good in spandex…oh, lost the thread…earlier in the week I saw a young woman in full spandex on some German bike I’ve never heard of….saw her twice actually, but she was not trying to go fast like a lot of the guys…she was just taking it easy and I just don’t understand spending all that money to just cruise…but I’m not going to spend a lot of time trying to understand…just something new…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and i won at pool so that was cool….but that was the last one at CSB so that wasn’t….didn’t get anything done so today will have to be different…the spiders are taking over again so at least the bathroom will have to be done…sitting here right now in my Man U jersey watching the first game of the season and that will give me something to do sat and sun mornings….and Man U is ahead 1-0 halfway through the first…not much to do today…going to just watch football and clean…have to stop at the produce stand to get some tomatoes but I think I’ll do that on the bike since I ride near it….more later…

Well…it has been a day of change with Jon Stewart leaving the Daily Show…just watched the last one and all I could think about was the laughs I got out of that show…but, things change…and Tom and I had a big change today when we found out that the place we go to shoot pool on Fridays is closing so we now have to find a new place and that is a huge pain in the butt…have been going there for 5 years and it was just damn convenient and comfortable…oh, well…there was one thing about the Daily show that I think Tom will get a laugh out of…when we were playing today, I was going on about how many bands have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their music…it’s just an instrument that sounds right to me…well…the last part of the show tonight had Bruce Springsteen and his band on and guess what they had on stage…a Hammond B-3…and that is kind of funny since the last one was made in in 1975….still don’t like change and probably never will….
