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…

June 29th

Well…it was and okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done other than lying in the sun to try to even out the biker tan…and races but no cooking or anything else…so that makes today one where I need to get the spiders done at least…there are some big ones in the bathroom that I think are eyeing me….slept okay last night and had a few dreams that were not too good so I really don’t remember them….I am sore and run down for some reason this morning and I think it may be that I didn’t eat enough yesterday…only about 900 calories for the day and that is not sustainable…just don’t feel like cooking or eating….not much to do today…I do have an errand to run this aft and I think I’ll make enough cash today to buy my groceries this week and that takes a little stress away…more later….

June 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but, as always, I didn’t get anything done…I did get the slow cooker loaded and finished and the chicken came out pretty good…slept okay but feel a little crappy today and I think I have another bug since I have been coughing all morning and I’m sure it’s not allergies this time…we’ll see how the lungs hold up on the bike in a few minutes…I do have some plans today but they only include getting rid of the spiders in the bathroom…they are getting way too big for them to remain….I feel pretty sore this morning so there will be some ibuprofen before I get on the bike…not much to do today…it will probably be racing all day since there is no other sports that I want to see….I did get over a thousand miles on the bike in the past few days and that makes only about 1400 more to do to get to the goal for the year…and to get to 25K on this bike…..more later…

June 27th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…well…I kinda won…only put one 8 ball in out of the 6 games…slept okay last night and feel okay today…already have the slow cooker going with some chicken and smoked sausage along with potatoes and carrots….did a pasta sauce for the liquid and I hope it turns out okay….not really sore this morning but a little creaky that I hope will be worked out on the bike ride…I did get the bike cleaned the other day and the shifters finally started working after about 12 miles yesterday…have to lube them again today before I go out to make sure they continue to work…nothing more annoying than having them hang up and not shift when I need them to…not much to do today…going to clean today but that is about it…more later….

June 26th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again…oh, I did get the bike cleaned but now it doesn’t work too well so I’m going to have to re-lube it and make it dirty again…slept okay but no dreams and I am a little resigned to that….I don’t hurt anywhere so that is a good thing and that will make the ride better today…I am training to break the 15 mile record and I think that will take place next week…need to get under 56:42 and I think I can do it…we’ll see….the spiders are back again and they will have to be dealt with over the weekend as will the vacuuming and most of the other cleaning…I am going to make crock pot chicken tomorrow so that will be good but I need to get rid of the leftovers so I will have containers to put stuff in…..not much to do today..pool, of course and I think I’ll wash the car this morning, too…more later…

June 25th

Well…running really late today with not getting out of bed until 7:30 this morning..the one thing I can’t understand is even with getting up that late, I still feel like I haven’t slept at all…and, with the looks of the bed, there was major tossing and turning last night…..didn’t get out to blues yesterday since K called an invited me over to hang out around the pool and that looked much easier….didn’t much else yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it…I’m taking this week off from guilt about anything and I am just going to do what I want instead of what I should do…in that vein, it was a cocktail night last night and I watched a neat little movie called “St. Vincent” with Bill Murray in it…pretty funny….not much to do today…need to look at the radar to see if there is rain coming for the bike ride but I may go anyway…don’t mind getting wet if it’s warm….more later…

Not much to talk about…

Well…it has been one of those days where I have tried and tried to find something to talk about with no success so I guess I’ll just do another one where I just talk about anything…I am a little disappointed that the air bag module failed in the car today…I know it’s 21 years old and the one in the MX-6 failed when it was about 10 years old so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much…but, I may have to try to find one that will fit…it is a Ford part in 1994 so I may be able to get one from a Probe…have to check it out…I am a little concerned about he supreme court rulings that are due int he next few days…it will really give me something to talk about so that will be cool, but I don’t want the results of the King v. Burwell….maybe they’ll surprise me an rule the right way for a change…I may go out to see blues on the mall out at the Deltaplex tonight if I can get through the traffic…there is suppose to be a car show out there, too, and that may be fun and I need to get out and do something….more later…
