Well…woke up a little sore today and I’m pretty sure it’s from changing the tires on the car….had to put the snowies on and I can’t believe the difference they made even with being almost worn out…the car drives straight down the road again and feels right…so the drive out and back was a good one….and I won at pool…so it was an okay day….just getting to coffee right now and I do need a new routine…not sure what that would be but I need something….there is lots of soccer on today so that will be my day…not sure if I’m going to ride today and that would make 3 days in a row off and I know I don’t like that…and with the snow tomorrow, I probably won’t get out….not going to do much today…making turkey soup tomorrow so that will take up a lot of the day…I do need to clean the bathroom and I am going to try to get that done…more later….

Well…running early today since I got up early and I’m already bored….didn’t sleep well and feel it this morning so it looks like a take it easy morning…didn’t get on the bike yesterday and today looks the same…might have to put the snowies on the car today since it is supposed to snow Sunday….and then I won’t have to think about it anymore…..forgot to have coffee yesterday with my routine changing but I remembered this morning and it will be something I’ll have to think about…my mornings used to be automatic with reading the papers with my coffee but no news has screwed that up some….but I don’t care…just another adjustment that I’ll have to make….I am going to made a little cash today so that will be cool…and maybe pool this aft…so I will have something to do…more later…

Well….as I’ve said, I broke the handle off my glove box latch on the Miata a couple of weeks ago and have been waiting for the new one to come since then…well…it came today and it only took about 5 minutes to install…..that is, after I took a half hour to figure out how the lock tumbler could be switched over…pretty simple once I figured out that there is just a tiny little tab that had to be pushed back to release it…then, it just snapped into the new one and three screws to put it back in…works like a champ so that was cool…and with getting the headlight bulb replaced the other day, the car is almost back to 100%…still haven’t found the noise but I’m thinking it’s a motor mount bolt that has come loose…will check that when I change the tires out next week…hope it’s that simple….

Well….woke up to a surprise that was not a good one…the car was covered in snow and I don’t have the snowies on yet…but, it was almost melted off by the time I got back here…and I ran it around yesterday with no problems…the noise is still there at startup but I am much less worried about it….felt pretty good when I got up this morning and slept pretty good last night and that is a relief…I think the last vestiges of the bug are gone and that helps…just coughed a little yesterday and the lungs feel okay today…not sure if I’ll get out on the bike today since it is still cold and raining now….but, I’ve got the whole day so maybe this aft….not sore at all today…at least right now but both elbows hurt when I got up…I know why so that’s okay….just have cleaning to do today…and a little cooking so it looks like an easy one….more later….

Well…yep, going to cheat a little to see if I can make it to the goal for the month so bear with me….have had a good year on the bike and I am close to reaching the goal of 3K miles for the year…and, this morning I noticed that I have only 75 more miles to go…that should be easy with a month to do it in if the weather cooperates…and that leaves my plan in place to ride this bike another thousand miles to get to 30K on this one before I retire it….not bad for an old guy…and an old bike….

Well….woke up this morning sore again and I just can’t believe it’s from working on the car yesterday…..oh, well….feeling worn out again and I think I just need to eat better…only about 900 cals yesterday but nothing appeals to me right now so that’s probably the best I can do….even got tired of turkey this year and that never happens….maybe I should get a pizza or something today? Or some fast food? I do have some stuff to do around here today…need to put the papers out for the last time and clean the bathroom if I can get motivated…more later…..

Well….the day didn’t start out too well but it has gotten better…I did get under the car and couldn’t find what is making the noise so I’m not sure how to go forward on that….darn….but, I did get out on the bike in shorts and no gloves and this one just has to be the last day like that….and I got the headlight bulb changed out with it being so nice outside…it is almost 60 right now and I knew I had to take advantage of that…I did just notice that I have the front tires rotating the wrong way and never noticed it all summer…oh, well…putting the snowies on in the next week or so so that won’t matter….I wonder how I didn’t look at the rotation arrow when I put them on in the spring? It looks like I may not make the goal this month since I would have to do 7 tomorrow and that is not going to happen…I have an excuse so I don’t feel too bad about it….

Well…running late again today…just can’t get started…again…and I’m not sure what that is about…..can’t even think too well today and that could be a problem….maybe it’s not having coffee until now…this whole news blackout thing is still screwing up my mornings…I would normally get the papers and have my coffee by 7:30 but without the papers…I just don’t get going….didn’t even get out on the bike yesterday and I don’t feel bad about it…and that is the problem…I think my guilt system is out of whack…and that usually keeps things in check…oh, well…..not much to do today…haven’t said that in a while…I do have to work on the car here in a few but that is about it….more later…

Well…yep, stole that one from an old country song but it is such a good descriptor of my day today that I just had to use it…was paralyzed all day today an just couldn’t get moving at all and I have leftover cocktail material to use tonight so it will be a waste, too…not sure what is going on but I am sure I don’t like it….still haven’t even looked at the car to see what is wrong with it and really don’t care…well…that’s not true….but, whatever it is is going to cost money that I don’t want to spend right now….a conundrum to be sure but tomorrow will be another day and warmer so I will get under it and take a look….not sure if I can survive another day like today…yeah…there is some hyperbole in that but the guilts from this one are killer….

Well…finding it almost impossible to get started this morning…I think part of it is how gloomy it’s been lately…can’t remember the last time I saw the sun and that doesn’t help my mood any….I did get a bike ride in yesterday but that was just about it…and today looks the same with it raining already so I probably won’t get on the bike today….I am going to try to clean some but not for a while…Man U stunk up the place yesterday and that didn’t help and there was really not too much else to watch….I don’t hurt today so I guess I should be thankful for that….I do need more coffee so I think I’ll do that right now and just veg for a while….more later….
