Well…running a little early today with getting up before 6 and that is getting annoying….slept okay, though, so that is good…and even had some weird dreams about houses, windows, and plumbing fixtures that were in the wrong place…yeah, sounds weird to me, too…and I’m not sure what any of it meant….I did get a nice ride out and back to pool yesterday with the top down and it looks like another one today if I get out to hang with T for a while…oh, and I won….not feeling too badly today but I have had a crick in my neck for a couple of days that is a little annoying, too….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but today I do need to get the old bike torn apart since the new one is coming later in the week…I am a little excited about that…with spring coming and being able to ride as soon as I get it….more later….

Well…not feeling too hot today and my lungs are filled with crap again….not sure what is going on but I think it’s another cold…not the flu since I don’t feel flu bad…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of and I wonder if that’s part of feeling a little tired today…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do want to wash the car today to get the Mt.P mud off of it…and to get some quarters for pool later….already thinking about putting the summer tires back on the car since it looks like the snow is over…but, this is Michigan and only Feb so maybe I’ll wait a while….I do need to strip the old bike tomorrow and get the broken frame out of here so I’ll have room for the new bike…and I need to get out to get some new zip ties to install the computer on the new bike…okay, I need more coffee and to read some news…more later….

Well…the day I have been waiting for for quite a while is here…just ordered the new bike and I am excited about that….this new one has all of the features of the Motobecane and it was 50 dollars cheaper than that was over 9 years ago…bought it from the same place that I got the last one from and you just can’t beat the pricing…only $329 bucks with free shipping and it should be here sometime this week… so I need to ride the old one another 100 miles to get to the goal of putting 1,000 miles on it before it’s retired to backup status again….

Well….running a little late today and just can’t get started….I did get out to get the paper and the wind is blowing like crazy and that will keep me off the bike today….it was bad enough yesterday with it only blowing 15 and today will be 20-30 with gusts to over 40…not sure if I’ve ever ridden with that much wind but I’m not going to even try it…slept okay last night and just feel a little slow today…and sore with getting back on the bike so I think I may have to take something for it later….didn’t get much done yesterday with two races on and today is going to be much the same….I do need to cook today but that is about it….and I may clean the kitchen some but that looks iffy right now…still feel crappy with crud in my lungs so I’m not going to do much other than watch soccer right now….more later….

Well…running late again today with not getting up until 7:30…and I feel pretty crappy today with the new bug I’m fighting….that started yesterday afternoon with feeling warm and coughing but I’m going to have to wait until later to see how bad it is…I have an infection on my right arm that is concerning me…have been hitting it with neosporin since last night and I hope it doesn’t turn into something I have to go to the doctor for…just looks really weird and I’m not sure what is going on….slept okay last night and had some weird dreams again but I really don’t remember them…that’s a pity since I have a feeling they were weird enough to write about….only one more day until I order the new bike and I am getting a little excited about that…it’s been 9 years since I had a new one and that is too damn long….more later…

Well…have been thinking about one to do in politics today but I just don’t feel like it…so, I think I’ll just float around in a while and see what happens….I did get a nice ride in today in lightweight thermasuit with a regular hat today and that made the ride much more fun…still had to fight the wind again and that was brutal but I can feel that I am already improving in just the second day…but, my lungs are not happy with me so I guess that will take some time…and I am SORE everywhere so I think I’ll take some ibuprofen later….only two more days until I order the new bike and I can’t wait to get a suspension under me again….even with only being off the bike for a month, I had forgotten how the ride of the old bike is such a bonecrusher….and that makes it hard to go fast since every bump is transmitted right through to my back…okay, need to go check the mail to see if my fed check is here…..

Well…I think I’m about on time today and I even got up a little late…..I think I even slept okay but I have a cough this morning and I hope it’s not a coming attraction of the flu….I did get out on the bike  yesterday and it was just pure torture with the wind blowing almost 20 out of the East….I wonder if that is why my lungs are screaming at me this morning? But my legs are not too sore so I’ll take it…and it looks like I’ll be able to get out again today but it will have to wait until later since it is raining right now and I want to wash the mud off the car from the trip to C’s….so today looks like it will start off a little slow and I don’t mind that…I wasn’t good last night and didn’t watch any Olympics…just getting kind of tired of them but I am watching this morning since there is nothing on in the morning….not much to do today….just need more coffee and to veg a little until I feel better…more later…

Well….it’s Thursday and that means I’m running late as always…had an okay day yesterday but being in the car for 3 hours made it a long one…but, it was nice to see C after a few months and get to play with Ren a little…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today but I have been up since 5:30 and that will probably catch up to me later in the day, but I had to get up to watch Canada and the US in curling…and that’s still on now….I may be able to get out on the old bike for almost the last time today but the temp needs to come up some with there being ice all over this morning…but, that won’t be until after noon and I am going to clean some until then since they are coming to check on the water tomorrow…and I’m not sure why that is but oh, well….need to get some pork loin in a marinade for tomorrow but back to curling and coffee right now….more later…

Well…running a little early today since I got up early and I’m heading to Mt. P around 8:30….need to do a little business up there and I hope the roads haven’t frozen up too badly with all of the rain the past few days…slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…still think I have allergy problems but they’re not that bad so I can live with it…but the stuffy head is getting a little annoying….I am looking forward to getting out on the bike tomorrow with the rain cleaning the trails and it going to get to over 40…and it looks like no snow for the rest of the month so I can get out almost every day…then I can start eating again and get my system back working again…not much to do today…just the drive up and back that will mean 3 hours in the car today…..then back to normal tomorrow….more later….

Well…running a little early today and it’s just from not sleeping and then getting up early today….so that makes me a little worn out this morning…I was good last night so that can’t be part of it…oh, I did win at pool yesterday…and it was just nice to get out of here for a while…didn’t get the top down with all of the rain and, even though it’s already 57 degrees outside, it looks like I won’t get it down today either…but, the rain means that the trail will be clear tomorrow so I’ll be back on the bike and I will be able to get back to eating two meals a day with burning calories on the bike…and this week will be the next to last on the Schwinn since I am ordering the new bike Sunday….can’t wait to get the new one with full suspension to help my back….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will have to do some work today to not feel guilty….more later….
