Well….got up feeling kind of slow today and that continues….I did get a small grocery run done but I only had 29 bucks to spend…even went over that by 99 cents….slept okay last night…I think I’m stuck in 2nd gear right now and I’m not sure if that is a bad thing….I did get out to the beach yesterday and got a little burned…and I got my swim in for the year so that is off my mind….but the seat on the bike is still screwed up and it cut my ride short yesterday….hoping I got that fixed so I can do a long one this morning….I do have something to do today….I think we’re going out to shoot pool this aft and it will be good to get out of here for a while….I think I may have a bug or the damn goldenrod is screwing with my allergies…have been coughing and have a sore throat but I don’t feel too bad so I guess I can live with it….more later…

Well..running a little early today with planning on hitting the beach today….have had a swim in Lake Michigan every year since I was 4 and today looks like the last day that will be warm enough for it…it’s only 59 right now but that is warm enough to put the top down on the way out….won’t go to the Tip for lunch sine I’m broke and I have plenty of food here….will probably skip the bike ride today but I may do it when I get back…not sure….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the normal stuff but I did get out on the bike in the fog and that was cool….still not too sore today and my back is still good so I’ll take that…I have been feeling it crack all the time and that means it won’t hurt….I need coffee….more later….

Well…running a little early today and there’s no reason for it….up at the normal time today and slept okay last night so that was a good thing….and there is fog outside that I want to ride in so I need to get going and work out…but, not right now, need more coffee first…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done other than the bike ride and cooking….need to get to GH tomorrow to get my Lake Michigan swim in for the year and I hope it will be warm enough…I have been in the water with it 49 degrees before so I guess it will be okay no matter what….and there shouldn’t be anyone on the beach with it being so late in the summer….not much to do today….going to ease into it today….just can’t get going….more later….

Well…have been reading a little today but none of it had to do with the idiot so I won’t write about him today….I did work on the bike yesterday to clean up the seat post and try to get rid of the squeaks but put it together backwards so it wouldn’t stay adjusted…took about an hour to get that fixed and then got a good ride in…but, I think the bike really needs to be replaced and soon with both the front and rear sprockets wearing out again…and I am not going to spend another 100 bucks to replace them….I did finally get food today and it looks like I have a couple of weeks worth now….and I still have enough cash to get through til the 20 of sept…okay….that’s enough for the day….I’ll be back tomorrow with something topical….

Well…running a little late today with having to do a grocery run this morning…was completely out of food but now I’m good for another week….and, I had the headlights on for the first time since last November….that’s how little I drive…weird…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today so I think I’ll just ease into the day…and, it’s raining so I’ll have to wait it out before I get on the bike…..I think it is almost two weeks since I’ve had pain in my back and that is weird, too….but I’ll take it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and it looks like the same today…just don’t have a lot of motivation right now but I’m not sure if I need it…..don’t have a lot to do so I guess motivation is not needed…..more later….

Well….running a little late today and I just forgot this again…got wrapped up in the F1 pre-race show….slept okay last night and had a pretty good day since I made some money selling off some bike parts…had two rear gear sets that were too low geared for me and the money will buy groceries this week…I did notice that some of the stitching on the cars top had broken so I had to repair that….used some cool new adhesive that appears like it worked….going to have to budget for a new top next year…..have been having some problems with my eyes lately and I think it’s from sleeping on them….it seems to be clearing up so I guess I won’t worry about it….I may have to take the day off the bike today since there is rain coming about after the race is over so we’ll see…not really warm enough to get wet on the bike….more later….

Well…not sure if I’m running late or not but it sure feels late….I think I’m in neutral this morning and I’m hoping the coffee will put me in gear….slept okay again last night and that is a relief…was just a little worried that the bad sleep had come back permanently but that didn’t happen…and, I’m not sore at all today so the bike ride will be a good one later…but, it is only 48 outside so the ride will wait for quite a while…need to get out before Man U plays at noon….I have been looking at new bikes and have found one that I am going to buy when the money starts coming in again….and I think I am going to buy a motorcycle…have found a bunch of them for 1K and I really do want to have one more of them before I die…..not much to do today….I should clean a little and I might…but no promises…more later…

Well….was on the bike today and looked down to see 2001 miles on the computer…I hope you get the reference there…this is the fastest I’ve gotten to 2000 miles since the year without a winter, when I was on the bike on New Years day in shorts…so this looks like a year of about 3400 miles by the time the snow flies….one thing I noticed today, and should have noticed earlier, was that there are never any kids riding their bikes….when I was young, and those trails would have been available, they would have been our playground…we would have been out there constantly, making forts and just screwing around all day…I wonder if kids do that anymore?

Well…trying to get started this morning and not having a lot of success…I need coffee…slept okay last night but I feel a little slow today but I earned it and that’s okay….my back still doesn’t hurt so I’m not going to talk about it until it hurts again…had a good day yesterday and got the bathroom finished, finally, but didn’t get a lot else done…figured out that I can make it to the 20th of next month if I sell some bike parts today…have a couple of rear cassettes that I won’t need if I get a new bike…not much to do today…going to continue to clean but the bike ride will have to wait since it is in the 40’s right now and I need it to be 57 to go out without a sweatshirt….more later…..

Well…running about on time today even with doing the grocery run….slept much better last night and had dreams of my Fiat 124 Spyder that I had back in the 70’s…and that was cool…only woke up about 4 times overnight and that is a welcome change from how it has been lately….and my back has been good for over a week now and I am hoping this is the new normal….I did go out and find a new bike yesterday but they will probably be out of them by the time I have the money for it next month…and it is only 339 bucks for all of the features my current bike has…the gold on my current bike has been getting a little dated and I am looking forward to having a black one….a Darth Vader bike…all blacked out with black wheels….not much to do today….I am going to finish the bathroom and do a few other things but there is no soccer to watch so I’ll be a little bored as the day goes on…oh, well…more later….
