A little more detail….

Well…getting behind for the month so I think I’ll do one with a little more detail on the day yesterday and the nice drive with the Miata folks. It started out cold…when I left here there was frost on the top but I put it down anyway…but, it was cold and I think I almost lost my right ear…had a stocking hat with me but, like an idiot, I wanted to wear my MOMM hat instead…looked better but brrrrr.   It was a long drive once we met up in Hastings with the loops going over to yankee springs and down past the Gilmore car museum…over 80 miles altogether not counting the 30 miles down and back from Hastings…so close to 140 miles for the day…it was cool to see the 11 car snake going around the corners and one of the cool things is we had a car from the first year of production and a brand new one in the group with at least one from each iteration of A, B, or C….and most of us had the tops down the entire way which was cool…got lots of thumbs ups from people along the route…and, after I got back here, I got to hang out with T for a while and I made a little cash so that just capped off a pretty good day….

October 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had a lot of fun out on the drive with the Miata folks…11 cars and 16 of us…many more than the picnic and it was a hoot…did almost 80 miles on the drive and then had a nice lunch in Hastings before coming back home…put the top down on the drive there and it was only 34 degrees….took quite a while to get warmed up after that but it was still fun….slept pretty crappy again and I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday so I’ll have to make up for it today…didn’t ride the bike with all of the  travel and things I had to do so I need to get out for a long one today after it warms up…not much to do today…going to just veg out most of the day and watch some football and then look forward to “the Walking Dead” starting again tonight…more later….

October 11th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…made a late comeback but not enough…slept okay, too, but I do feel a little slow this morning…and that needs to go since I need to leave for the Miata owners color tour this morning…should be fun…going to put the top down going out and it is only 33 degrees…found a stocking hat to wear…I wonder if any of the others will have their tops down? Probably not. Almost decided to not go but don’t want to disappoint the organizer…nice guy….no bike ride today since I have stuff to do when I get back but I’m going to make money today so that’s okay….need to make sure the phone and music player are charged up for the drive and I need to sunscreen even though it’s October….more later…

October 10th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I got some stuff done so that was cool…got the car washed and waxed for the drive tomorrow but I think it will be dirty again before then….slept okay and had weird dreams about teeth falling out with lots of people I don’t know in it…feel kind of crappy today since I just had to have cocktails for the Wings game last night…which they won and looked good doing it…everyone was working hard and it was good to see…just hope they can keep it up for the game tomorrow night….not much to do today…pool, of course, and I need to meet up with T for a couple of minutes and that will be nice….and the bike ride, too, but it is in the 30′s right now so that will have to wait for a couple of hours…more later….

October 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…slept normal and crappy but feel okay this morning except for my back still hurting….okay…just made it pop…hope that works like it has in the past…normally, when my back pops it stops hurting…hope it works this time….I did get out to HF for some tools and got a cool little led light for free…it is a work light and a flashlight…pretty neat little unit…but the keyset I bought fell apart before I used it so that needs to go back….there was a fire at the adjoining complex night before last and it left ashes on my car that need to come off today…have to get the car ready for the color tour on sat and it needs to look good…not much to do today….grocery run to get some food in the house and then the first Wings game later…will do a post on the Wings to get caught up later…more later….

October 8th

Well…running really early today since I am up watching the lunar eclipse and it is almost total right now…just  a sliver left and I can’t wait for the color to turn red…haven’t slept much and feel pretty crappy and tired so this is going to be a short one for now…my back is now in pain on both sides and both legs are involved and it has been a long time since it’s been in both sides…oh, well…just getting old I guess and I don’t like it….not much to do today…just the normal stuff but I do need to make a run to Harbor Freight to get some free stuff but that is about it….might even be nice enough to put the top down…more later….

October 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool…but, it took me over an hour and a half to get to sleep last night and I was up all night again so that wasn’t cool…not sure what to do about it since I have tried everything I know…oh, well…didn’t get much done but today will be better…I think…can’t be worse….I do have some errands to run today….need to find some black silicone to repair an abrasion on the top of the car before winter…and I do need to clean it and get ready for the color tour with the group Sat…hoping for 10 cars or so driving through the countryside and it is only for a couple of hours so I guess I can do that….need to make sure the mp-3 player is charged along with the phone…not much to do today…oh, already talked about that…more later…

October 6th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but every team lost so that was pretty crappy…at least Man U won and they needed it with how bad they have been playing…slept crappy again and feel it this morning but it is warm enough to get on the bike early so that’s what I’m going to do since I have a couple of errands to run today….didn’t get much done yesterday but I didn’t have much to do so I won’t feel depressed about that…right now, that is…have to remember to lube the bike before I go out today since the water and mud have left it squeaking again and it is getting to annoying really fast….not much to do today…have to run those errands and then have to clean around here some but that is about it….more later…

October 5th

Well….running late again today but I know the reason this time..Man U started at 7 and that has taken my attention up to this point…slept okay and had some dreams about warehouses that I didn’t understand but I am not going to put too much thought into it…feel a little crappy today and I did it to myself along with the stuffed up head and coughing that has been going on for three weeks now…and I am really tired of it…haven’t been on the bike in two days but I am getting out this morning…waiting for the the temp to come up a little, though, since it is only 44 right now….not much to do today…there are races and football to watch along with soccer so it looks like another wasted day…more later…

Lazy day…

Well…when I got up this morning, I didn’t expect this kind of day…have done absolutely nothing today but watch sports…no bike ride, no nothing…okay, I did do one thing…I went out for the papers this morning…can’t remember a day when it rained so much..oh, yeah, Wednesday….I just haven’t gotten my head around the fact that the high today was 44 degrees…even put my heat on today for the first time since April….my brain has been on autopilot all day so there won’t be any political stuff today….I did read the papers but I don’t remember anything that was in them…oh, well…since it is after 6 I guess I’ll just write today off, watch some football, and wait for the Wings to come on….
