October 19th

Well…running late today and the whole thing was caused by ice on the car that I had to melt off with it running for 10 minutes….it was an okay day yesterday and I got out to see K and V over at Logan’s for a few minutes so that was fun…slept crappy again but the Wings won with Hank getting the winner with 10 seconds left in OT…pretty cool….so, I guess I can live with feeling crappy again today but I won’t let that keep me off the bike today…took the day off yesterday since the temp never came up until the aft and after the run to Logan’s, I wasn’t motivated at all…and, it looks like it will be noon or so before I can get out today…but not later than that since I do want to see the Lions and the race….not much to do today…I did get my bathroom de-spidered yesterday and cleaned so it looks like the kitchen today…more later…and I do need to do three more of these today so come back a see….

October 18th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool…plus, I put an 8 ball in on the break so that was even cooler…didn’t win the Mega last night so I don’t have to put instructions in here for my daughter so Tom gets his cut…slept okay but no dreams again so that is a little disappointing…and, there was no Miata drive last night since it was raining…no too disappointed with that since I wanted to see the Wings game anyway…didn’t get much done yesterday but I will today…at least the bathroom…and I have a 7 pound chicken to roast today so there will be food…along with the soccer that is on now…still trying to find where Man U is on the sched….not much to do today…I am going to wait a few minutes before I go out on the bike…it is a little too cold right now and I am not in the mood to be cold…more later…

October 17th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I just realized that I didn’t get back here for another one so I guess I’ll have to fix that today…slept okay but no dreams to speak of…it was fun to get out to have a couple with G but that got me on the road to feeling a little crappy today…didn’t get much done but the ham soup and it came out great so that is a plus…and the bathroom didn’t get done again and it won’t get done today, either….I think I’ll do it tomorrow…maybe….not much to do today..I do have errands to run, pool, and then a final meet up with the youngster Miata folks after for a run up to Rockford for dogs and beer…I will be looking forward to getting back here for the Wings game after all that….more later…

October 16th

Well…running late today and it is because I had to do a grocery run and get the ham soup started….needed to get the freezer cleaned out and with this gloomy day, I thought it was perfect for making soup…slept okay last night and had some weird dreams about colonizing Mars and the indigenous life there that was killing we settlers until I figured out you could kill it with bleach..but, the problem was that the organisms that survived kicked into evolution overdrive…pretty weird but a fun one….didn’t get anything done yesterday since I didn’t sleep at all Tues night and had to just recover…will try again to get the bathroom done again but who knows? Not much to do today…I do need to get the bike ride in and then put the rest of the soup together…not sure what else…but I will try something…more later….

Forgot this one from yesterday…

Well…not sure how I forgot this one but I did..so, I thought about it today before I forget completely…out on the trail yesterday, at one of my water stops, there was a yearling dear trapped in the chain link tunnel that makes up the trail in that area…and it was in such distress it was jumping and jumping into the 6 feet tall chain link like it thought it could go over it but missing the top by a couple of feet…as it slowly moved up the trail toward me…another biker and a walker tried to get it to go in the direction of an opening in the fence by making themselves look big and making some noise…I joined in and we finally got it to stop hitting the fence and run out the other end…could not believe that it was not injured after slamming into the fence at full force so many times…another weird day on the trail….,

October 15th

Well…running late today and it’s the lack of sleep that’s doing it…only got about 3 hours last night and I am sitting here in a haze trying to be at least semi lucid but I’m not sure if it’s working…had some weird dreams with Liam Neeson in them with hotels and food and other stuff but it wasn’t much fun….didn’t get a lot done yesterday, either, but I am going to try to do better today…I do need to run some errands and get the bike ride in and that can happen right away with it being 57 already…..I do need to do the bathroom today and get rid of some trash and then there is the Wings game later so that will give me something to do…more later…

October 14th

Well…it was a okay day yesterday…for a Monday…but I didn’t get much done…well…ran a few errands and got a backup battery for the phone and a new set of earbuds but that was about it…and, I’m almost caught up here so maybe that was something? Slept okay and had dreams about cleaning this place but the more I cleaned, the worse it got and I am not sure what that was about….going to have to go without sleep aids tonight since they are making me so sluggish in the morning it’s hard to get going….I did do laundry, too, I just remembered so I got some stuff done…..not much to do today….it looks like it may rain so the bike ride will have to be between the raindrops today…and the bathroom needs to be done….just need to accomplish one thing today….more later…

October 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done and I feel guilty about that….I did get out to see the twins for a few minutes in the aft and that was cool…having a heck of a time getting going this morning and I think it’s the lack of calories yesterday that is doing it…not the cocktails….slept crappy again…and again…and it is getting boring….not sure what to do about it….I am going to get some things done today…at least a de-spidering of the bathroom and a cleaning needs to get done…and I have a few errands to run this morning….getting a battery backup for the phone and a new set of earbuds…shouldn’t be more than ten bucks for the pair so that is cool….more later…

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….
