Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night but I am a little sore today and I can’t figure that one out….haven’t done anything different over the past few days so that is weird….and the squeak came back in the bike yesterday so I had to take the seat post out and clean it since it was full of sand and dirt from riding in the rain the other day…used up all the grease so I’ll have to get more to do the caliper pins on the car next week…no close calls with cars on the bike yesterday and that was welcome…I really don’t like having to pay attention for everyone…my bike time is when I can zone out for the time and think and I get pretty irritated when that is interrupted….not much to do today…I do have to repair the top on the car since last years repair of the abrasion on the drivers side is looking pretty bad…and I want to wash it, too since I was out in the rain yesterday and it is looking kind of crappy….more later

Well…getting to this one early again since I don’t know when the internet service is going to be out today….it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night and feel okay today but I do know that I need the ibuprofen before the bike ride…in much pain on the ride yesterday and don’t want to repeat that…cars had in in for me yesterday on the ride and I damn near hit two of them when they pulled out in front of me…will do one on that later today….there was a strong storm that came through here yesterday with 70 mph winds that just trashed the complex here….there is a 30 foot maple that was broken off at ground level lying in the street and the tops of a bunch of pine trees were sheared off…it looked like a tornado with the winds coming through….can’t wait to see what the trails look like…not much to do today….just the normal stuff and some cleaning…way too many spiders in the bathroom that need to go…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get anything done…other than spending 2 hours trying to get the squeak out of the bike….finally did it but the bike was covered in every lubricant I have so I had to clean it so I didn’t have the smell of gear lube in here…so, I’ll have to start from scratch today….hope it’s easier….need to get out early today since it is going to be 92 later…..was going to go to the beach today but the water temp is only about 60 and that is too cold for me so I guess I’ll wait til next week…slept okay last night and had some psychedelic dreams…as T calls them…that were all over the board….I do hurt this morning but I think it’s from working on the bike…but, I did have cramps in my calves last night that I can’t figure out….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and maybe some cleaning but I’m not sure about that…..more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done with all of the sports that were on…from F1 to soccer to indy car…it gave me a good excuse to just veg out the day….oh, well….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning but it is raining and I won’t be able to get on the bike for a while…so I guess I’ll run a couple of errands after I work out…..still not sore again today and I can’t figure it out…last year I had the moving pain in every joint that really did hurt….but, nothing this year….weird…..it is nice that it is raining and the car is getting cleaned from all the bird crap….maybe I’ll have to take the day off the bike with the rain…but, I think I’m going to the beach tomorrow and will take the day off the bike if I do….and I can’t have two days in a row off…not much to do today…errands this morning and then maybe clean the bathroom but that is about it….and I will come back with a political one later today…have been a little burned out on the whole process but I know I need to get back to it…more later…

Well…as you know, when something unusual happens on the trail I like to count just to quantify what happened…like the 42 tiny bunnies from last year or the snake counts I have done earlier…and today started out normal…the shifter was working great and I even got rid of the squeak in the bike but I noticed that there was a lot of traffic on the trails…bikers especially so I thought I’d count them…and yikes…in the 15 miles on the ride today, I counted 152 bikes…almost 10 a mile and it is something I’ve never seen before…at the start of the 9 years I have been riding this bike, I could go the entire ride without seeing another biker but today was a little ridiculous…and there were a lot of the spandex boys out, too…wonder if that has to do that the Tour de France is on tv…it seems that every year when it is on, there are a lot more people out on bikes…at least I hope they go away after the tour is over…it was a pain moving through the traffic…maybe I’ll just have to go out earlier….who knows?

Well…you know about the day I had yesterday so I won’t go into that again here…slept okay last night and had some dreams that were boring so I won’t report on that now…didn’t get anything but the bike and cleanup done yesterday and today looks the same since there is soccer on this aft….not sore anywhere again so I’ll take that…I do have to comment on gluten-free aspirin later along with the garish color of the new ibuprofen I just picked up a few days back….not much to do today…watching F1 right now and will probably watch the tour later….more later…

Well… I was going to comment on all of the killings that have gone on here in the US today but what more can I say that hasn’t already been said by me and others? So, I think I’ll just update everyone on the day I’ve had today…the whole thing started out with that damn squeak in  the bike coming back and it is just so annoying…still haven’t found it yet and I’ve taken the entire rear suspension apart and greased it so we’ll see tomorrow if I found it or not…but, the worst thing was I broke a shift cable out on the ride and had to ride it back with just 2 speeds and that was a pain…so, I went to the bike shop and got a new cable and decided to put the new shifter on that has been sitting here for almost a year now since I would have had to adjust the old one and it was getting too worn out…now I remember why it has been sitting here for a year…what a pain in the butt…worked on the damn thing for almost 3 hours to get it right but I think it’s close….the bike was so greasy that I spread grease all over everything and had to clean until just now to get it cleaned up….I think it will be a few days until I can get the grease out of my hands….not something I really wanted to do today….

Well…it was an okay day and I won at pool so that was cool…slept okay last night and feel kind of okay this morning…have already been working on the bike to try to get the squeak out of it since it is so damn annoying…no pain anywhere and that is getting kind of weird with the normal being pain somewhere…but, I’ll take it….didn’t get anything else done but didn’t expect to so I’ll have to fix that today….it is nice that it is cooler and less humid…I was getting really tired of everything being wet all the time….okay…F1 qualifying is on so I am going back to the couch and having more coffee…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I am a little disappointed that the storms went north and south and missed us…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today but I hope that will be fixed when I get on the bike in a few minutes….don’t hurt anywhere today and I am a little confused about that…maybe the ibuprofen before the bike ride has been working? I am getting a little tired of the humidity and the heat…would not mind a few days in the 70’s for a change but it doesn’t look like that is happening….we do need some rain…looked at the berries yesterday and they are so small and the bushes are wilting so I need to pick what I can get today…I did get ice cream yesterday so I can have my yearly berries and vanilla ice cream this week but it looks like there won’t be enough berries to go through the whole half gallon…last year there were too many…not much to do today…pool, I think, but that is about it….might wash the car this morning after the ride to get the bird crap off it but that will be about it….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and a I got a few things done so that is cool…got a little wet on the bike ride but that was enjoyable with it being so darn hot…and today looks the same with a high of 92 so I need to get out as soon as possible…one of the damn sprinklers here set itself to spray on my bedroom window last night and I am a little irritated about that…but, I’ll talk to Brian and he’ll take care of it so no big deal other than it woke me up…so, needless to say I didn’t sleep too well last night but I feel okay this morning….got the grocery run in so that is why I’m running a little late today….and it was nice to have made the cash for groceries earlier in the week….not much to do today….need to get the normal workout stuff in but with the heat, I think I’ll take it easy today…may even put the air on today if it gets too hot….more later…
