Well…still hurt everywhere and I can’t figure it out….I did figure out why my toes on my right foot hurt and it’s the damn weight machine again…whacked my foot on it the other day…something I’ve done more than once….but I can’t remember how I hurt my back…it’s not as bad today so I think it’s healing….had a pretty busy day yesterday with work and the grocery run and the bike ride keeping me busy until late in the aft and that is a good thing…today will not be busy at all with just the bike ride and pool, but I am looking forward to grilling some pork chops for lunch….back to not eating enough and I am feeling it today…or it’s the allergies again since they have been quite bad lately….I do need to remember to take something for it…I noticed that the key I have been using for the car for the past 4 years has a crack in it so I have to use the dealer cut one I paid 15 bucks for….I thought that the ignition lock was wearing out but the new key works just fine…probably should get a couple of new ones cut to have some spares….more later…

Well…I wanted to throw the damn bike in the retention pond today with the pedal arm coming loose every 100 feet or so…not quite that bad but it came loose the whole ride and irritated the hell out of me….so, I worked on it again this aft and I hope it’s better…used a huge pipe to whack the damn thing to get it to seat and it appears to have helped…okay, enough of that…the grasshoppers are finally back in the clouds that they were supposed to be earlier in the summer…have never seen them come so late and I’m not sure why…it could be that it almost 80 and it’s going into the second week of October…I think the snakes are confused, too, since I counted almost 30 small ones on the trail yesterday and they should be bigger and heading for hibernation…should probably do some research on that in case this is normal and I’m just missing it….hmmm…..

Well…yesterday…hmmm…got a few things done but felt lousy all day and I’m pretty sure it’s just an allergy flare…but I whacked my hand working on the bike and it is still bruised and hurts today….and my back has decided to hurt again…not bad but more annoying than anything…geez…do I sound like a geezer or what? Didn’t work out yesterday so I have to do that in a few minutes and then out on the bike…haven’t figured out the bolt yet but it has less urgency since I decided to buy a new one by the end of the month….just tired of working on it to keep it going….I do have lots of work to do around here again today and I hope it won’t make the back worse but it probably will…it hurts on the wrong side and that is weird…oh, well…going to stop talking about that….more later….

Well…it was an October morning, near the carousel…I met a lithe young beauty and we talked there for a spell…yeah, that line from Donald Fagen just popped into my head when I wrote October 5th…kind of an odd day yesterday with C in town and stopping in to chat for a few and then out with G for a couple late…got to use my headlights for the first time in quite a while and that was cool…and leaving the top down out and back was cool, too….did have to replace the bolt in the pedal arm on the bike with the original one since the threads on the new one just self destructed…and the weird thing is that the old one didn’t come loose the entire ride…weird….have lots to do around here today so I guess I should get at it…need more coffee first….more later…

Well…..not sure what is going on but the past couple of days have been a struggle to just endure them….and today looks the same or at least it has started out that way…I did have a dream about cats and goldfish last night and I’m not sure where that came from…it was weird enough to be enjoyable but it wasn’t….hmmmm….and I am sore everywhere again and I am getting really tired of it….I did start saving for the new bike and I hope to have enough by the end of the month to order a new one…but, they are out of the one I want so I have to wait anyway….not much to do today…I do have errands to run this morning and then I should clean this aft and I think I will…need to accomplish something….more later….

Well….feeling like crap this morning and I’m not sure if it’s allergies or if I have a cold…all I know is I have been coughing since yesterday and my head is stuffy and hurts…probably should take some allergy stuff to see if that’s it….it was a big sports day yesterday and that meant I didn’t get anything done…again….and, the way I feel, today will probably be the same….just can’t get going and all I want to do is go back to bed….but, I won’t…need to work out and get the bike ride in or I’ll feel guilty all day….I am sore everywhere today…it hurts to just sit here and do this and that is a new one….I do have some work to do around here today and I need to get that done but I need more coffee first…and I didn’t have enough left in the coffee maker to have more than a cup and a half…I suppose I could make more but don’t even feel like doing that….more later….

Well….man, what a long day yesterday with going out to have a few…or more…with G which got me behind for the night…and I feel it this morning…just behind on everything…the paper, coffee, and this and I know that I don’t like it too much…and the prospect of getting on the bike has absolutely no appeal to me right now…maybe after more coffee….other than that, yesterday was pretty much a veg day just watching sports all day and today looks like the same…Man U is on right now and then there are races and football on all day….so that will be my day….not sore at all but I will take something before the bike ride…I did look for a new bike and they have one just like mine for only 350 bucks but I don’t have it right now so I guess that will have to wait until I save some cash…okay, going back to the game and more coffee…more later…

Well…it’s another dreaded first day of the month and that always depresses me if I let it…it was a pretty good day yesterday so maybe that will carry over into today…oh, I won at pool bur it was comical how badly both of us were shooting….glad I’m not so competitive anymore…it appears that the clutch bleed has helped…hasn’t fixed the shifting completely but it is much better….but I think I’ll still order a new cylinder to have it on hand…not too sore today even with going hard on the bike yesterday…my back is better today so I think I have that fixed….going to take it easy today and just watch sports all day…need to make a pot of chili, too, but that is so easy that it takes all of 5 minutes to put it together…more later….

Well…since I’m already at the goal for the month, I don’t feel too badly about doing a short one…not a filler but a short one….out on the bike in the rain today, I saw a Trump sign and immediately a thought popped into my mind…those things remind me of the “I’m with stupid” t-shirts that were a big thing in the 80’s….from now on, whenever I see a Trump sign or bumper sticker, I’m going to think that they are with stupid…and you can take that two ways….

Well….just realized that this one makes my goal for the month and that is a good thing since I normally don’t do a second one on Fridays…but, with the rain going on, I may have the time today if I can’t get on the bike…didn’t ride yesterday and I really don’t want to take a second day off the bike….that would lead to a major case of the guilts and I wouldn’t eat anything today and that is never a good thing…didn’t do a whole lot yesterday and I should have…okay, not really…don’t have a lot to do any day….slept okay last night and that’s the first time I’ve talked about that in quite a while….I am a little irritated that there was no Ray Donovan or Mr. Robot this week…had to fill in my Thurs night with other stuff that isn’t as good…oh, well….there is a Wings preseason game on tonight so that will be cool but it just tells me that the year is speeding by….okay…I really do need more coffee…more later….
