Well….it was an okay yesterday and I didn’t get a darn thing done…but, that was to plan since I took my yearly color tour out to the two parks with the top down…60 miles on two lanes was quite relaxing and I had fun…but, out at Fallasburg, I found a secluded spot with a stream running through it…stopped and left Steely Dan on the stereo just loud enough to hear it and was relaxing with a sippy cup, just sitting, and a couple of jeeps pull into this area that only had enough room for my car…and a clown car of people and dogs piled out to take photos with damn yapping dogs and screaming…ruined that part of the day but it was still fun…slept okay last night and had dreams about the Navy and aircraft carriers…which was really quite weird…was good again last night and feel okay today…hoping to get out on the bike in just a t-shirt again…took a long ride yesterday and got down to only 75 miles to get to 25K…later in the week, I hope…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…okay, I got a little done but not much..slept okay last night and had dreams about grocery stores…yep, weird, but I think there was a logic to it at the time….I did get a nice bike ride in but after turning on the southward leg, the wind pick up to 25-35 mph which made it slow going since I could barely keep moving in the big ones…still nice to be out on the bike…and today will be the last day in just a t-shirt since it is already 57 outside and that is the cutoff….feel pretty good this morning after being good last night and I will continue that most of the week….I think I have lost the weight I gained when the bike was down and that feels good…..not much to do today…going to do the normal morning but this aft will be a color tour with it nearing 70 for a high and the leaves falling like crazy after the freeze…oh, my daughter is out of the hospital and with nothing that would explain the chest pains…on to the cardiologist…more later….
October 19th
Well…running a little late today and I’m not sure why that would be…it’s just a normal morning with nothing different about it…slept okay last night and even had a few dreams so that is better but I really have no hope it will continue…didn’t get much done yesterday but I didn’t have much planned so I can live with that….didn’t even have to cook with the pork shoulder leftovers and I think I miss that…Sundays are supposed to be for cooking…I did get out on the bike and had a nice ride but it was cold again and I had to wear gloves…the ones I have have holes in them so I may need to make a trip out today to get a new pair….I do need to put a pair in the car so I’ll have them for winter….not as sore this morning and it may have been the bug that was causing it….at least I hope the full body pain is not a normal thing that is going to go on…not much to do today…still feeling a little slow today but will get back to the workout and bike ride…I do need to make the annual color tour in the Miata and this week looks like a good one with it being almost 70 tomorrow….more later…
Just some stuff…
Well…sitting here watching the Lions stink again and thought I’d come back here and do one of these so I don’t get farther behind….it is nice to have the bike back working so I can ride again but I made a big mistake by eating before I went out…was just so uncomfortable for the entire ride that I won’t do that again…I have been sore as heck the past few days and I’m not sure where that is coming from…even my back hurts again today and that was bad on the bike…oh, well…I am going to do a sports one about the bad, bad teams that I follow that have just left me shaking my head…not sure what else….okay, going back to the couch for now and will be back later for more…
October 18th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday if a little disappointing for my sports teams…but, I’ll get to that later…did get some distressing news that my daughter is in the hospital after having chest pains in the middle of a half marathon again…doing lots of tests today and should know something later in the day….slept okay last night be still have that damn bug that I’ve had for a while now…still feel warm and have been coughing like crazy for a couple of days now…I was wondering why I didn’t have any energy and now I know…should probably take it easy today and try to feel better but I do need to take a ride on the bike now that it’s fixed…but, it’s way too cold right now…even had frost on the car when I went out for the paper this morning….not much to do today…just going to watch more sports and maybe a little cleaning…or maybe not….more later…
October 17th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and the drive out and back was a little cold with the top down but I just had to do it…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today…something I hope will be fixed by riding the bike today…it will be nice to get back on it after 4 days off but I won’t be going out until after the Man U match…too darn cold right now with it being under 40 degrees…didn’t get anything else done but that is normal for Friday….still feel sore and I’m not really sure why that would be with not riding…not much to do today…I do have lots of sports today with Man U and the Michigan/State game on later…so, I don’t think I’ll do much but that today….more later…
The bike is fixed….
Well…just sitting here waiting for the Wings game to start and thought I’d do a little update…the bike is fixed! Got the parts today and put it back together in about a minute…even took it out for a ride before I went out to shoot pool and it works like a champ again….I can’t wait to take it out tomorrow and get back into riding again…but, that will have to wait until after the Man U game at 10…it is going to be really cold in the morning so I wouldn’t be going out anyway….
October 16th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday until I went out to have a couple with G…I guess I’m the worst person in the world since I don’t want to live in the south…and the civil war was not fought to end slavery..geez….other than that it was an okay day and I got a lot done…did the kitchen floor and the entire bathroom and some other cleaning done..got the bike torn apart while I wait for the new sprockets to come…feel pretty crappy today and I’m not sure why…I did have cocktails last night but I never feel this bad…I think part of it not eating enough…can’t wait to get back on the bike so I can eat again…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of…not much to do today…going to wash the car since the sprinkles of rain yesterday left it spotted but not much else…pool, of course…but then just waiting for the Wings game later….more later…
October 15th
Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done so that was cool…felt so much better than Tuesday and had some energy but I’m not sure what the problem was…I know part of it is not riding the bike but the rest of it is still a little confusing…have been trying to cut out the 800 cals a day that I usually burn on the bike but I’m not sure that is a good idea at this point…after all, if I don’t ride again until Sat, I will have only gained about 2 pounds that I can burn off once the bike is up again….can double up a few days and get back to it and get to the 25K goal….slept okay last night but it was still a little fitfull but that is normal these days….I am sore everywhere, though, even though I haven’t been on the bike so maybe I should still take the ibuprofen that I normally take before I ride….not much to do today…going to try to clean more today…got the kitchen started but still need to do the floor and that will lead to more pain….but, that’s life right now…more later…
October 14th
Well…it was a crappy day yesterday with feeling exhausted all day and I’m not sure if it’s overshooting the calorie reduction that I need to do with being off the bike for the next few days…slept okay but fitfully and I think that has left me sore today…both of my forearms are aching today and I’m not sure what the heck that is about….didn’t get anything done yesterday but I hope to change that today with some work on the bathroom…with the weather turning colder, the spiders have taken up residence in the bathroom…again…so I need to take care of that soon….but, I still don’t have any energy right now so I guess I’ll have to see how it goes….not much to do today…have to run an errand in a few minutes and then come back here and work out….more later…
