October 29th

Well….as you can see, I’m running really, really late today since the server that contains my site has been down all day…just came back up a minute ago so I now need to get caught up…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…I did get the bike ride in but the wind was brutal and it took a lot out of me by the time I got back here…slept crappy again last night and I guess that is the new normal…feel kind of crappy today, too and have just started to cough and I just don’t want to be sick but I guess there’s not much I can do about it…I am going to take some vitamin C here in a minute since that helps some people and I hope I’m one of them…I did get some stuff done around here but it has been such a low energy day that I kind of figured there was a bug or something even before I started to cough….so, were almost through the day and I’ll have to think about the second one and get that going soon…more later…

October 28th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…finally got the abrasions on the Miata’s top repaired and got rid of the duct tape so that made me happy…slept crappy again last night but had dreams with Anthony Bourdain and a VW bus in them along with lots of cooking…weird…..it was such a nice day that I took a long bike ride since today may be a washout with rain all the way down to the southern part of Indiana and heading this way…I am cooking some slow cooker chicken soup today just to see if I can do it…got some chicken leg quarters for 79 cents a pound yesterday so I thought I’d use the carcass from last weeks chicken and one leg…..not sure how it will work but I had to try….not much to do today….just soup and working out so far….might think of something later….

October 27th

Well…running late again today and I just can’t get moving for some reason….it was an okay day yesterday but I totally vegged after the bike ride…still feel tired today but I think the coffee is starting to work so that is a good thing…dreamt about water all night last night…drinking it, that is, and when I got up I was really, really thirsty…I know, pretty weird….it looks like it is going to be quite warm today…all the way up to 74 and that means I should do something that involves putting the top down on the car…I do have some errands to run so maybe today would be the day to do it? Supposed to turn cold later in the week and the dreaded thought of snow tires hit me for the first time today…I did have them on the car the 2nd week of November last year and I do hope that we don’t have another winter like the last one….that would just be too depressing….more later…

End of the month…

Well…it is getting to the end of the month and I don’t want to get further behind so I guess I’ll noodle around here a little and see what happens…the group that I saw last night was not one that I had seen on tv…I think the tv one was the string cheese incident…these guys reminded me of a 70′s hard rock band with a  little funk layered over the top of it…but C and I said the same thing after the first set…very repetitive…all the songs sounded the same and I could only take so much of it….and my ear is still fuzzy this late in the day so I guess I need better earplugs next time….I did get out on the bike today since the Lions were stinking up the place…but when I got back the had come from 21-0 down to win the fricking game…just like they did a few weeks back..weird….okay….can’t think of anything else right now but I just may come back for another one…I am behind after all….

October 26th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…did go to the concert and it was okay but the group was loud and repetitive and my right ear is still ringing even with the earplugs I was wearing….and I didn’t get to bed until after 1 so I am a little worn out this morning…and it looks like I am going to have to wait to get out in the bike since the Lions are playing in  a little while from London and I want to see that….and then Man U plays right  after that so maybe no ride today…the couch seems pretty inviting and I think I’ll just make this a veg out day….more later….

October 25th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool….but, that was okay…had a long run of winning and I didn’t get skunked….slept okay, too, but I feel a little slow this morning and it’s from not eating enough, again….oh, and maybe the cocktails….had some dreams about snow and trains but they really didn’t mean anything….looks like I can get out on the bike as soon as I finish the soccer game I’m watching since it is already 55 degrees outside…first, I am going to have a toasted bagel with cream cheese and some smoked salmon I made the other day…not much to do today…going to just hang around here until I go out for the concert tonight…will probably have to take a nap some time this aft since the concert won’t start until 9…more later…

October 24th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with waiting for the guys to come to work on the furnace until 2:30 and then out for a couple with G and then back here…was so worn out I was in bed before 10 last night but that didn’t help…still feel worn out today and part of it is not eating enough yesterday…only had some smoked fish for lunch and that was a total of about 600 calories for the entire day…so today I need to ramp it up and get to 2,000…will be kind of hard but I have to try….I did sleep okay even without any aids and had dreams about the eclipse that I didn’t see because of the clouds that moved in….it is nice to have this place cleaned up for a few days and that means I have nothing to clean today…so, I think I’ll get out on the bike after the second cup of coffee since it is already 50 outside…more later…

October 23rd

Well…running early today since I am getting the place ready for the maint guys to come and work on the furnace today…slept okay and was good again last night so I feel okay today…..the place looks good and feels good with all of the cleaning done and all I have to do today is do a grocery run this morning…going to smoke some fish today, too, but that is about it…the cursor has disappeared from this site today so I am going to shut the computer down and come back in a few minutes to pick this one up….okay…I’m back but I don’t have a whole lot more to say right now so I think I’ll end here for now…I am going to watch the eclipse today if I can see it from here…might have to get on the bike and head to a clearing in the trees to get a better view…more later…

October 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…can even see the top of my dining table but there is a lot more to do before the maint folks come Thurs…..slept okay and had dreams about my new coffee maker being broken and driving a car I sold 20 years ago….feel okay this morning but it is cold enough to be icy so I have to warm the car up before I go out for papers….have to continue the clean up today but it is something I should have done weeks ago so that is okay….and I like the progress….not much to do today…will have to wait for the temp to come up to get out on the bike so that will mean I have time to get started on more cleaning….the allergies are bad today and I can’t stop sneezing so maybe it’s part of cleaning…I don’t know…more later…

A sad sight…

Well…as I got to my first water stop on top of the hill next to M-6, I looked out at the e-way and saw a really sad sight…a Laguna Blue Miata on the back of a flat bed wrecker with the front end shortened by about two feet…looked like a nice one, too, with the gold BBS wheels that came on the M series…I guess mine wasn’t the only one here in West Michigan…but, that makes one less…any time I see a Miata wrecked it saddens me a little bit…I’ll bet there are now less than a thousand left on the road in my color….
