Well…just can’t get started this morning and I wonder if I can even get through this one without coffee…nope…need to go get some….okay…I’m back….slept like normal last night so I won’t talk about that now…I did do a battery test on the new computer yesterday and it lasted over 7 hours in normal use….in constant use I would think it would be about 3 hours or so but that is much longer than any other one I’ve had so that is cool….didn’t get much done yesterday but cook and I won’t get anything done today…other than pool that is….I do need to get a bike ride in today but that won’t happen until later this morning…want to wait until it gets to 40 and that won’t happen until after 11….more later….

Well…as part of the battery test, I am going to do a few of these today that you may think are fillers…and they may be but you’ve seen that before so you shouldn’t be surprised…and I am tired of writing about trump and his cronies so I may not do one about him today…we’ll see if I can work up the outrage to do one but I’m not sure I feel like that today…I already have an hour and a half on the battery and it is still reading 80% so I may just get the 4 hours it said I would….and that would be pretty cool but I’m not a huge graphics user so I should…most of my stuff is just text and that shouldn’t take much….I didn’t win the powerball last night but no one else did either so it will be almost 400 mil on sat…will spend another 6 bucks to get a shot at 200 mil cash….need to win…more later….

Oh, and I am already over the goal for the month so this month is going to be a big one….

Well…heading out to do the grocery run this morning and I found the new battery for the computer sitting at my door…two days early and that was pretty cool….I’m doing a test run now to see just how long it will last at full charge….it is kind of cool to have a computer that works like it’s supposed to but we’ll see how long the battery lasts…it is a factory Dell piece so I hope to get an hour and half out of it before I have to recharge it…we’ll see….

Well….running really early today…it’s 6:15 and I normally don’t get to this until much later…but, I’m already bored after being up for a half hour and it’s too early to do the grocery run….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but didn’t have to so I don’t feel too bad about it….might have to do better today but the place doesn’t look too bad so maybe I will and maybe I won’t…..slept okay last night and had a repeater of a dream that annoys me so I won’t report it here….my lower back is still stiff and part of it is my hip…something that I’ve had off and on my whole life….probably won’t get on the bike today with the temp being 35 but I will tomorrow and it will be a top down ride out to pool with the temp in the mid 50’s….going to get ready for the grocery run now…well…not really….I am looking forward to the coffee after I get back here…more later….

Well…it was just a standard day yesterday but the equipment problems have been solved with the arrival of a replacement piece…and getting the new laptop fixed all of the problems I have had over the past 3 weeks….have been good the past few nights and feel pretty good this morning but I still have the stiffness in my lower back that has been annoying but I can live with it…didn’t get much done yesterday but that is okay…today will be different since I am not getting on the bike today with the rain and ice,,,and it’s not getting over 30 today and that is just too cold to go out….I do need to get my state taxes done and I think I may do that today to get that off my plate…but, I don’t have a lot else to do so I think I’ll watch some soccer this aft and veg…more later…

Well….with the new equipment that arrived today….I have had way too much new stuff come into my life in the past week or so….not that I’m complaining…the new computer is pretty cool and the new piece of equipment was really needed so I guess I’ll just have to adjust….and let things get back to normal….it is cool to not have to wait for the computer to decide if it is going to do something…and I think I’m going to speed up my internet tomorrow….for 7 bucks a month I can quadruple the speed and with the new livestreams on Plex, I may be able to get rid of the dish by the end of the month….

Well…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did make a little cash so that was cool…and I did work out and ride the bike so I guess that was something…still pretty sore today but I did remember to take something before I got on the bike so it was not as brutal as normal….will have to remember to do that before I go out today….I do have to adjust my calorie intake today to make up for the 600 I burn on the bike since I have just felt exhausted the past few days and I know it’s from not eating enough….or from getting old, I’m not sure which….don’t have a lot to do today but wait for some equipment that is supposed to come today so I think I’ll just take it easy and wait for it…but first, I need coffee….more later….

Well…on a lighter note after all of the sturm and drang about trump…I know this has been a relatively mild winter but sitting here right now there are the shadows of insects outside my window…now, there are not supposed to be insects flying around in February in Michigan….just not supposed to happen….but I am not going to bitch about it too much…..I even found a few ladybugs in my place over the past week and that is not normal, either…..this is not a normal February by any stretch of the imagination….and with the temps forecast to be around 60 over the weekend the weirdness will continue….and I will get to put the top down on the car…..

Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and can’t figure out how it’s gotten so late and I haven’t gotten moving yet….I know I slept in a little but my brain is just not starting…I wonder if I need to reboot….didn’t get a lot done yesterday…actually, didn’t get anything done yesterday and I don’t really feel too bad about that…I am going to get a workout and a bike ride in today but I don’t need to cook since I have leftovers for the next couple of days….and I have lots of stuff in the freezer so I don’t need much to buy for groceries this week….my back is still sore from the last bike ride a couple of days ago so I need to remember to take something for it soon….the last ride was brutal without it and I think I still have cramps in my feet from it….okay…the coffee is finishing and I sorely need some…so I’ll end here…more later…

Well….I just noticed that I had a record month for quantity in January and from looking at where I am so far this month, it looks like I am going to shatter that record…I mean, I have never had over 40 of these done in 12 days before and probably won’t again…I am happy that I started reading the news again to give me plenty of topics to get outraged about and there will be more of that coming tomorrow…after all everyone in the trump administration lies constantly and someone has to call them on it…the normal media won’t so I guess it will fall to all of us that do these things to do it….and I have a new computer so I feel obligated to try to wear the letters off these keys just as I did the last one….but, that will be for tomorrow…I’m going to veg it out for the rest of the day….no more later….
