Well…not sure why but I feel pretty crappy today even with being 25% less bad last night….I do feel that I have a bug and that was highlighted yesterday on the bike when I was out of breath a couple of times and that never happens…my lungs just feel like they are full of crap and I am warm….so, even though it’s almost 50 right now, I’m going to take the day off the bike…and the wind is already blowing over 20, too, so I think I’ll just take it easy….racing starts today with the 24 hours of Daytona this afternoon so I won’t be too bored today….I did get out for a drive with the top down on the car yesterday to run an errand and that was fun….even posted a photo of the car on facebook….okay…feeling crappier by the minute so I am going to end here…..more later….

Well…running late today with not getting up until almost 7:30…and not being good last night makes getting going a little more of a chore than I’m used to….slept okay last night so I hope that will offset not being good but I think that is just a hope…it was a busy day yesterday and I had fun meeting up with T for a couple…it was nice to see her after almost a month…had a lot of laughs and good conversation….today looks like it is going to be much more low key with only the bike ride this morning…Man U is playing this aft so that is something to look forward to….but, I don’t have to cook today after doing the huge ham yesterday….I did buy some braunschweiger yesterday and I now remember how much I like it…bad for you but it sure tastes good….more later….

Well…it looks like you’re not going to get a political one today since I may be going out to meet up with T in a few minutes….it has been quite a busy day so far for me with doing the grocery run early, then taking the car out to wash it, getting a bike ride in, and then making a big lunch that I just finished putting away. I was going to talk about music for a while but I’ve done that before, got that idea this morning when “the Last Waltz” came on a regular tv channel and I had to watch some of that…like that movie so much I just ordered it up on the server and it just showed up and I’m watching it as I write this…I was going to talk about the process of seeing Led Zeppelin back in 74 and 75 but that will be  story for later….I think I need to start putting some of my stories down so I don’t forget them…and my kids may want to know what my early life was about…so it will have to be sanitized somewhat…but, not too much…we thought we were pretty bad but, compared to now, we weren’t really that bad….

Well….running a little late since it’s Thursday and you know that means grocery run….was up quite early today and feel pretty good today with being good for 4 days now…and, I don’t think I have a bug like I thought….it may have been getting back on the bike and working the lungs again that caused the coughing since I don’t have it today…..I’ll take that…don’t want that flu that is going around but I’ll probably get it at some point…I think I’ll get a flu shot next year since Medicare will cover it….geez, I’m getting old….I did talk to T yesterday and even a little this morning and we have lunch planned for tomorrow and that will be fun…she has stories that I’m sure will make me smile…..not much to do today…the frickin birds have been at it again so I have to wash the car after coffee and after the sun comes up this morning…and I do need to get back on the bike today and the next few days…will even be able to put the top down on the way home from lunch tomorrow….yay…more later….

Well…running early again today or is this the new normal? Slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly today…the bug I thought I was getting seems to be a low level one since I don’t feel worse today…but, I’ve only been up a little while so we’ll see in an hour or so….haven’t heard from T since Sunday and it is a phone problem and I can’t wait til that’s solved….today is a fresh coffee day and that starts out the day on a good note…it just tastes better the first day….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will clean some today and try to use up the leftovers so I can cook tomorrow….probably won’t get on the bike today with it only going to be 30 for a high and that will leave ice on the trail that I don’t want to deal with….the news is calling me so I think I’ll go do that…more later….

Well….I know it’s getting to be that time in Michigan where our roads start to fall apart from freezing and thawing…and I think I’ve found the worst road in GR when I was going out to Target to get some antihistamines…yow! There was one pothole that was almost 18 inches deep and it stretched across the entire lane…I was glad that I was paying attention and could swerve into the turn lane but the Honda behind me didn’t and I really expected it to stay in the hole….don’t think the Miata would take that kind of a hit….

Well….running quite early today and I think getting up at 5:30 is the cause…slept okay last night but tossed and turned again with being good last night, but I feel okay today so that is something….but, I think I have a bug or the starting of one that I will have to monitor and treat if I need to….my lungs are kind of iffy right now and I was coughing like crazy yesterday afternoon but I wonder if it may have been from getting back on the bike and shaking all the crap loose….think I’m still under on calories for the past few days and I think that is that nothing tastes good anymore….this happens sometimes but I hope it goes away soon….it is a chore to eat when nothing tastes good….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I will be trying to get some stuff done today…ran out of allergy stuff so I need to take a run over to Target to get another box….more later….

Well…finally got back on the bike yesterday and today and I am quite sore from it…only did 12 miles on each day but it was a struggle to get through those….as I’ve bitched about before, an entire year’s fitness goes away fast…after only being off the bike for 4 weeks, I’m back to square one and I don’t like it….I may buy the new bike sooner than I expected since I am tiring of the Schwinn and would like to give my back a rest from all the pounding….today was really wet, too, and I was damn cold when I got back here since the trail was flooded in many spots…I guess I’m just cranky today for some reason…but, I do have riding later in the week to look forward to…in shorts on Friday maybe…..more later….

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started….haven’t had coffee yet and that may be part of it….slept okay last night but I’m still tossing and turning all night and I would like just one night of sleeping through without waking up….oh, well…I did get out on the bike yesterday and I was going to try to get out again today but it looks like rain all day so I might not get out…going to try, though….I was really sore after the ride and that continues this morning but it feels good so I won’t bitch too much…..and I think I’ll be able to get out wed and through the rest of the week…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday…I did clean some and will do that again today…but not for a while….I need the coffee to work more before I’m going to do anything….more later….

Well…woke up feeling pretty crappy today and I am going to blame it on going out to have a couple with K…..slept okay last night but feel a little slow today…took some work to even go out to get the paper today and the coffee is not working at all yet so I am going to just ease into the day….T got back into town yesterday and it’s nice to have her back here…I did see a funny thing while watching the car auctions last night…a 1.2 million dollar Ferrari had the same six dollar battery switch that I have on my car…I guess even rich people are cheap…..didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today is going to be the same…I may try to get out on the bike today after the sun comes up since it looks like the trails may be clear….I do need need to get some exercise….more later….
