Well…have been really looking forward to getting back on the bike since the snow and ice is off the trails and I have been too much of a slug lately…so, today, I get the thermasuit on including double gloves since it was only about 29 degrees when I decided to go out and head out but there was something wrong that I just haven’t been able to put my finger on…just didn’t feel right from the time I got on and it was so much more effort than I ever expected…after all, I’ve only been off it for a couple of weeks and the ride on Sunday was pretty good…and you would think that after 22,000 miles on the thing that it would be like riding a bike…ha,ha…yeah, I know, bad joke….it only took about a half mile before my hands started to cramp…probably from the double gloves and they still hurt now after many hours…at least they weren’t cold but the rest of the ride was just brutal and I can’t remember wanting to just get it over with before….with that said, I’ll be back at it tomorrow like an idiot…just can’t believe that my lungs and legs have regressed as much as they have in just two weeks….feels like the first week out in the spring….oh, well…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was good…I do have to remember to not wash the car unless it is 25 degrees or warmer…did mine yesterday and it is still an ice block today with the driver’s door not wanting to close after I started it today…and, I didn’t bring enough quarters so there was still soap all over it…first wash of the salt time and I wonder why I didn’t remember what happens….I guess it just looked warmer than it was with all the sunshine….slept okay last night even with being good and I feel okay this morning…even have some energy that I am going to put to good use by getting on the bike later…after it gets above 30…it was 13 degrees when I went out to start the car but at least it isn’t snowing and there isn’t much in the forecast…not much to do today…going to continue with the cleaning and get a bunch of resumes out and then Man U plays this aft…then a Wings game tonight so at least I won’t be too bored…..more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did get out to ride the bike for the first time in two weeks and in shorts even….slept okay but still feel a little slow today for some reason…and I am sore from the ride but it’s a good soreness…may even be able to get out in full thermasuit today….it is kind of weird to only have the Wings to watch on a Sunday aft with racing done and the Lions not playing until next Sunday….I did watch Django Unchained the other night and can’t figure out why people thought it was such a great movie…typical Tanantino but not much more than that….not much to do today…have tot pay the rent, then I’m going to get the leaning tower of papers out before they fall over and kill me….more later…

Well…sitting here waiting for the Wings to start and thought I’d get the last one for the month done…not sure what it will be about but it will be something….have been struggling with politics lately…or maybe I’m just losing interest in it…hope not since has been one of the central topics around here and I’m not sure what I’ll write about without it…just need someone to do something crazy…even after being off the bike for two weeks there is no trail news…okay..going to publish this one and then come back later after I let my brain work for a while….

Okay…brain still isn’t working but I’m going to give it a try….man, what a gloomy day today…it is so dark in here that I probably should turn the lights on…it was kind of funny this aft watching the Wings and having the lights go out at the Joe about 20 seconds in….half hour later they had them fixed and I don’t think I’ve seen the Wings play so well this year…pretty neat….hell…just cant’ think today so I think I’ll just give up…

Well…running late again today but it’s just because I wanted to get out and ride the bike while I could go in shorts….okay, need to restart this thing…lost the cursor…okay, that did it…it was a nice bike ride…got the swing arm bearings adjusted so there is no play in them anymore and the new shifter is dialed in…felt like a new bike today…but I am going to be sore later today…slept really crappy last night and was back up at 5 this morning so getting the blood flowing with a bike ride was just what I needed…I did get out and had a couple with G and then straight to hang out with K for another one…so that might have something to do with feeling a little slow today…not much to do today…just the Wings game and then a little cleaning and a nap this aft…and one more of these later to hit the quota….,more later…

Well…it was an okay day and I won at pool so that was cool….but, I feel a little crappy today and part of it is not being able to get on the bike for over a week now…going to try today….slept okay but slammed my thumb on the wall tossing and turning and I am going to lose a big chunk of the nail….took a big divot out of the wall, too, and that may have to be repaired….I am a little down with the troubles that T is having and I can’t help but think of her…as you can see, I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday and I was just too preoccupied to do it…just didn’t seem that important…not much to do today…Man U plays at 10 and that will be the only thing I am planning on today…other than football….more later…

Well…it was quite a peaceful day yesterday and I feel a little recharged today…but, the cocktails are taking a small toll and I think it will be just a little while until the coffee works it’s magic…slept okay last night and had dreams that were really too disjointed to make sense of….didn’t get a thing done other than cooking so that means work for today…oh, nope, can’t do that…have errands to run this morning and then pool this aft so cleaning will have to wait until tomorrow….not much to do today….need to get moving pretty quick to get those errands done…and, I wanted to get on the bike today but it’s too icy and cold so maybe tomorrow? More later…

Well…event though I’m ahead for the month, I am bored silly and thought I’d come back here for one more today…okay, not totally bored since I’m watching “Knife fight” but other than that, I have been bored most of the day…the Lions surprised the heck out of me by winning the game today so that was cool…but it’s been a total veg day…didn’t even try to get on the bike today since it was snowing and with the dusting, I couldn’t see the ice that is under it and it just wasn’t worth getting injured to ride…will try that again tomorrow…the turkey came out much better than the last one and I am warming up to sage that I used for the butter coating….but, I am still full even after eating at 1 this aft…I did have pie, too, so I feel like a beached whale right now and will not make a second meal today…just some nuts with cocktails later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and all I got done was errands…but, that’s okay since I wasn’t going to do the kitchen until after I mess it up cooking dinner today…slept okay but feel a little slow this morning and I am just going to let that slowly go away…might try to get out on the bike this morning to just take a look at the trails….but, that will have to be soon since I want to get the turkey in around 10 or so…baked the pie last night so there will just be mixing of the other dishes….have already read the 5 pound paper and it’s only 8:30….so, I should get going…but, need one more cup of coffee first….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done but the grocery run…slept the same as always so I won’t talk about that…just another boring night sitting here, too, but the next season of “Lilyhammer” just came out and that helps pass the time…still a pretty good show….I am shifting into holiday mode today and won’t be doing much but getting the turkey brined and watching the Wings later…have a couple of errands to run this morning and then I am going to try to get back on the bike today just to see what the trail looks like….okay, the computer is giving me fits today so I am going to end here right now and restart the thing to see if that helps…more later…
