May 28th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I got to get out for a couple with K but that put me ahead of the game for cocktails last night so I don’t feel that hot today…but I think part of that is the heat and humidity which is taking a lot out of me since I am not really acclimated to the heat yet…slept okay last night but I think I have the allergies getting worse since my lungs are involved today and I am still coughing…I’m almost at the point of taking the day off the bike to just rest a bit…was hoping that it would rain all day so I wouldn’t feel guilty about it…nope….will get out after Monaco qualifying but I need more coffee first…not much to do today…going to watch tv with races on today and maybe clean a little…I do need to make up for not eating enough yesterday so there will be a big meal for lunch…more later…

May 27th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool….slept okay last night and feel okay today and I really shouldn’t…but, I’ll take it…I did forget to put sunscreen on in the car yesterday and I got scorched so I will be putting it on before I get on the bike this morning, too….will probably need to start evening out the tan over the weekend by laying out for a while and that is not bad….not really sore anywhere today except my shoulder and I know it’s from sleeping on it wrong last night so I can live with that….I am going to take something before I get on the bike since the aspirin worked so well the other day….just got some pork ribs in the marinade and I think I’ll put them on the grill later…got a new spray bottle for killing the flares and it works like a champ so I think I’ll be using the grill more….not much to do today…just pool but that’s enough…more later….

May 26th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool….felt like crap most of the day and I am still thinking it is a little bug since I am still coughing and a little warm….slept okay last night and feel better today, though, so that is a good thing….I did get caught up on calories yesterday…I think….so it will be interesting to see how my legs are when I get out on the bike in a few minutes…it did rain last night but I missed the storms and that is a little disappointing…but, there will be more of them in a few hours so I won’t miss those….not really sore today and I should be after how flat my legs were yesterday….I wonder what the heck is going on with that?  Not much to do today….going to get the bike ride in here in a few and then I have an errand to run and it will be a good one with the top down on the car….probably need to use sunscreen since it is really sunny….more later…

Tiny bunnies and other stuff…

Well…you know it is getting to be summer when you start to see tiny bunnies on the trail…saw my first one today and I know it will continue…I think my record last year was almost 40 of them in one ride….saw a young buck deer in Kentwood this morning, too…just standing in the stream and eating some of the greenery…didn’t even look when I rode by not more than 10 feet away from it…the snakes are out again, too…saw a huge garter snake up in the park and was tempted to try to pick it up to just look at it but it took off before I could get off the bike….the ride today was a tough one even though there was not much wind…legs were just flat the entire ride and I know it was that I only had one meal yesterday…maybe that’s why I feel kind of crappy today too….yep, that’s it…I’ll stick with that story….and yes, this was a filler….

May 25th

Well..it was an okay day yesterday but I spent all the money I made Monday to stock up on food and change the oil in the car…oh, well…slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy this morning after going out to have a few with G…no arguments so that was cool….I just feel sore again today and I will have to take something for it before the bike ride….everything hurts and I’m not sure if it’s the bug I have or just going too hard on the bike…..my son got all of Monty Python on his server so that will give me something to watch over the next couple of weeks but I have to make sure I don’t couch it out with too much content…ran into that problem with Route 66 and I don’t want to do that again….not much to do today…was going to go out and hit some golf balls at the range but am just not feeling it today…maybe tomorrow…think I’ll just finish the coffee and then ease into it for today…it is cool that it is 8 and it is already almost 70….had the top down going out to get the papers…more later…

May 24th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…slept okay and was good last night so I feel okay today…I am getting really tired of the damn birds everywhere and trying to keep up with the crap they leave all over my car…washed the windshield twice yesterday just to be able to see…need to take some deep breaths and chill…okay, that’s better….have been sore and stiff the past few days and I hope it’s just that I am going harder on the bike as I finally get back into shape…and I should be in shape since I will go over 800 miles this week and that is second best to the end of May….not much to do today…need to change the oil in the car before the bike ride since the oil has started to lose it’s properties and when hot, my oil pressure is lower than I want it to be….more later….

May 23rd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the string of not getting anything done has added another day…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of…again….but I’m used to it now….I know that I have a bug now since I have been coughing and warm with a slight sore throat but I don’t feel that bad…still going to work out and get a bike ride in this morning and try to burn it out…that works sometimes and I hope it does this time….have been sore and creaky over the past few days and I wonder if it has something to do with the bug….and my back has been really stiff but no pain so that is something…not much to do today…going to make some cash this morning but then nothing much for the rest of the day….maybe some cleaning but I really don’t have the energy for that right now….need more coffee….more later…

May 22nd

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done for the umpteenth day….I think I’m going to start feeling guilty about that soon but I’m not sure when…slept okay last night and feel kind of slow this morning and I know part of it is that bug I thought I had a few days back…have been coughing like crazy all morning and I feel warm so I guess I’ve got a cold of some sort…don’t feel too bad so there will be a bike ride this morning…it was a pretty cool sports day yesterday and today is about half of that but there will be pole day at Indy and that will be cool….not too sore this morning but just stiff and I’m not sure what that is about…just old, I guess….not much to do today…need more coffee and then out on the bike but that is about it…more later….

May 21st

Well…it was an okay day and I won at pool so that is cool….slept okay last night but feel a little crappy today and I hope that will go away after the bike ride…still somewhat sore everywhere and I’m not sure if it is just age or what….haven’t take anything for it for the past two days but I am going to before the bike ride…my triceps have been hurting on the bike and that is really annoying….just want a good ride where I can think about something other than the pain….need to check the shifter on the bike again since the upshifts are a little slow…might just have to lube it again or the pins have worked out again….it has been working quite well lately and I want that to continue….not much to do today…lots of sports with Man U, Indycar, Nascar, and horse racing so I will have plenty of stuff to nap to…more later….

May 20th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning with it being a cocktail night last night…I think I may have a bug, too, and that is compounding it somewhat….have been coughing quite a bit since last night and I feel a little warm today….not bad but just a little warm so we’ll see how that goes…not too sore today but I am going to take ibuprofen before I get on the bike since the cramps in my hands were quite bad yesterday….I am a little stiff all over today and I’m not sure what that is about…but, I am going to stop bitching about any of that…after all, I should be sore after a long, hard ride….not much to do today….pool, of course, but not much else…I should wash the car and might…the damn birds have covered the sidewalks here along with my car and I’m not sure what the deal is….more later….
