Well….had a nice ride this morning that ended up with seeing something I’ve never seen before in this part of the state. When I got to my last water stop at the park and was just sitting there looking at the baseball fields that are in the upper part of the park, I saw some people playing what I assumed was baseball since I wasn’t paying too much attention…but then I saw the pitcher use a really strange windup and I realized that they were playing cricket…so I decided to go take a look and it was a group of men from India who had set up their cricket equipment and were playing a game….talked to one of them and mentioned that I had never seen cricket played around here and he just laughed…you would never have seen that when I was young….pretty cool….

May 5th
Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30 and I am getting tired of getting up so early…feel okay this morning and I am not too sore so that means a hard ride on the bike today…but, I am going to take some ibuprofen before I get out…my right thigh has been hurting the past few days and I want to get ahead of that one…went out early on the bike yesterday to beat the wind and just did it…it started to blow hard just after I got back here…the gusts got up to 58 mph yesterday and that took a branch down at T’s and punched a hole in her garage roof…that kind of sucks….I did get some cleaning done yesterday and will continue that today….my microwave is clean and that took some work and I did get to the counters and stove, too….not much to do today….I am going to get out on the bike as soon as the temp comes up and then the Kentucky Derby is on later along with a race so I won’t be too bored….more later….
May 4th
Well….running a little late today with the realization that today is the anniversary of the Kent State shootings and needing to reflect on that a bit….it was a little weird that I slept through the night without waking up last night and I can’t remember that happening in a long, long time….but, I still feel a little slow this morning since I wasn’t good last night…I did have a good day yesterday and had the hardest bike ride of the year so far….sweated through everything and my hat was dripping and that made me feel good…but, I paid for that later in the day…was just dead in the aft and I hope that goes away soon….it was pretty cool what the rain and warmer weather did to the trees and flowers..they just exploded yesterday and it is nice to see some colors after the drabness of this spring….and it is already over 60 so I can get out as soon as the coffee starts to work…not sure if I’m going to do much today but I should…there is some cleaning to do and I might do it…or, I might not…who knows?
May 3rd
Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and not getting up til late….and I got wet with it raining now and for the next few hours so it will be a late start on the bike today…had a pretty nice day yesterday with getting out to have a couple with T and had quite a few laughs…it’s always fun to see her…and I had the top down over and back with SD on the player…felt happy for the first time in a while….but, I didn’t get much else done so I’ll have to do some work today….I do need to clean and get some computer work done but that will wait until later after I have coffee and read some news….I’m not sure where Meijers gets the split chicken breasts they sell…they are mutants wherever they get them…I got three and they were almost 5 pounds…can get three meals out of each….weird…more later….
May 2nd
Well…running on time today and feel pretty good this morning…except for my heel and I am going to go out and try to get something to treat it after the workout and bike ride…slept okay last night but I was up and down all night…woke up for the last time around 4:30 but did get one more hour of sleep in after that….didn’t put the heat on for the first time this year last night since it stayed around 70 for the low…and that means I can get out on the bike as soon as I finish the workout…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I will have a few things to do today but not until I have more coffee…it’s not working yet…and I do need to read some news so I can think about that on the bike and come back for another one later this morning….more later….
May 1st
Well….running early today with getting up at 6 or so….slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning and I am going to ease into it….had a nice day yesterday and even got some color with the top down out and back to pool…which I lost but had lots of fun…it was nice to get out of here for a change…didn’t get much done around here yesterday and I probably won’t do much today…it is already almost 60 outside so I can get on the bike in just a t-shirt….and I think that will be only the second time this year….okay, need some more coffee….and to read the news so I’m going to do that and then come back later to add to this one….more later…
April 30th
Well….running a little early today and I feel quite a bit better…not sure why I felt so crappy yesterday but I think it was from not eating enough…slept okay last night and I am waiting for the coffee to work and I hope that’s soon since I have a bunch of stuff to do this morning…need to wash the car before I work out and ride the bike since it is covered in dust from the lot cleaning….didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft but that’s okay….I really don’t have a lot to do around here…the bike is still confusing me…two days now without a skip and I took all of the adjustment back out…will have to think about that a bit but I’ll take it…the weather is going to be gorgeous the next few days with our first 80 degree day this year and I can’t wait to air this place out….it will probably make my allergies worse but I can live with that…more later….
April 29th
Well…almost forgot to come here for this one with the F1 race just getting ready to start….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy today…not really crappy but just slow…and I am going to ease into the day with coffee…..and more coffee….my back has been sore for a day now and I hope I can figure out how to crack it today….I may have to take a day off the bike soon to let my legs heal up some since they have been really sore the past few days….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same…just can’t get motivated to do much lately…..the bike is still confusing me with the skipping and the adjustments not doing much…it started with the start of the ride yesterday but then stopped after I adjusted it but then I took the entire adjustment out and it still didn’t skip…weird….not much to do today…just going to veg out the morning and have more coffee….more later….
April 28th
Well….I think I’m about on time today with soccer just starting…and I slept okay last night but feel so slow today that this one is going to be a struggle…..still feel a little depressed and I’m not sure how long that will last….hope it’s not too much longer since I don’t like it much….going to have to wait for quite a while to get out on the bike today with it being in the low 30’s right now and the warm up is going to be slow…will probably have to wait until the aft….don’t have a lot to do today but cook…going to try a new set of spices for the veggies today since I am bored with the same old same old…and I just got some oregano that I have been out of for some time….not much to do today….just going to watch some soccer and have some coffee right now….and try to feel better….more later….
No politics right now…
Well…have been sitting here for a while trying to come up with a pertinent topic today and nothing is grabbing me yet so I thought I’d just do one on anything that pops into my head…started to have problems with the bike again today out of nowhere…had two days of not one skip and then it just started again today…and this time I hadn’t done anything to it…no adjustments at all…tried the same adjustment again and it seems to have helped since it didn’t skip at all when I took it out to go to the bank and get my powerball tickets for tomorrow…it was a little strange going to the atm on the bike…normally when I’m in the car, I have to stretch because the car is so low…but, on the bike I had to stoop to be able to have the buttons line up with the screen….but, it still worked so that was cool….might be going out to have a couple with T later if her sched allows it…that would be a good start to the weekend….even though every day is like a weekend to me now….and it is warm enough to put the top down over and back…..not as depressed now as when yesterday started…hope it continues….
