Well….had been working for the past few days trying to get the bolts out of the exhaust so I can put the new one on…just couldn’t get them loose no matter what I tried…so I had a brainstorm to take it down to the shop that used to do all the work on the MX-6 and see if they could do it….5 minutes and an impact wrench was all it took to get them both loose and now I can change it out any time I want….it is a little loud since I didn’t want them to re-tighten them so I couldn’t get them off…and, it didn’t cost me anything but I did give them 10 bucks to buy the guys donuts tomorrow…so it looks like tomorrow aft or Thurs I will be changing out the old one for the new and maybe we can shoot pool this week after all….

Well….it was an okay day yesterday…got a few things done and my new exhaust came….it looks okay..good welds and if I could get the rusted nuts off, I could change it out here in about 15 minutes….slept okay last night but no dreams for the 2nd month in a row and that is pretty crappy…was good last night and feel good today but I hurt my shoulder working out yesterday so I need to take some ibuprofen to get the swelling in the tendon down..it is grinding and popping and catches with a nice little stab of pain every once in a while….oh, well….at least the rain last night cleaned the car up pretty well and it didn’t leak so I guess I have the top sealed right…I have been thinking about replacing my McGivered coffee maker with a new one….Target has one with a stainless carafe that I can’t break so maybe I will this week…need to get my hair cut tomorrow since the place I go is half price this week…a little early but that’s okay….not much to do today….going to hit the bolts on the exhaust with penetrating oil again and try to start loosening them and then just the normal stuff….more later….

Well…running a little late today and I’m not sure why…just can’t get going and I know why but just not going to share it right now….slept okay but feel a little slow this morning and I think I’m just going to allow it….it’s one of those mornings where I just want to survive it and move on…I should be good at this by now since it happens every few months…oh, well…didn’t get a lot done but the bike ride yesterday so I am going to try to get better today…the exhaust is on the truck this morning so I should get it soon…..think I’ll wait for it to come before I get out on the bike….it looks like it is going to rain later so I’ll have to check to make sure I don’t get wet on the bike…it’s not warm enough yet to go out in the rain…not much to do today…going to clean a little if I feel like it and then get some other work done around here…more later…..

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….and even I am getting tired of that…slept okay but feel pretty tired today since I only ate one meal yesterday…I know that is not a good idea but I’m just not hungry for some reason….Man U won their FA cup game and are in the finals so maybe they can salvage their season and even get in the champions league…I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday and today should be the same since it is sunny and almost 50 already….still don’t hurt anywhere and that is really weird….not much to do today…going to make tacos and clean a little but that is about it….and then take a nap during the race as always…more later…oh, and come back for one more of these…not sure of the topic but I have to do something…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and the drive out and back was fun with the top down…didn’t get anything else done but I really don’t mind that…it was kind of funny that I hadn’t talked to any of the kids in months and then talked to 3 of them yesterday….just checked the tracking on the exhaust and it is in town so I may get it today…or no later than Monday so I can get it put on Friday….the elbows are starting to hurt so I can notice it today so I need some ibuprofen before I go out on the bike…it is only in the 30’s so that is going to wait for a while but I need to get it done before Man U plays in the FA cup at noon…not much to do today….don’t really have anything to do other than clean so maybe I’ll do that…maybe not…more later….

Well….it was a long day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done….went out to have a couple with G and that went a little overboard and led me to go to bed before 10…hadn’t slept well at all for the past 5 days and I think I made up for it last night…had been good since sat but not last night…oh, well….my elbows are teasing the pain that is coming and I really don’t like the anticipation…it hurts to pick things up again…just twinges but that just makes me remember how bad it was last time….and, my allergies are flaring like crazy so I think I will take something this morning before I take the bike ride…the exhaust didn’t come yet so it looks like it will be pool instead today…the car is still not too loud so I can live with it….not much to do today…I need to run some errands this morning and I am going to make some cash so that is cool….then pool this aft….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I get a few things done so that was cool…sleeping is still a challenge and I think I got about 4 hours last night which was full of tossing and turning…hurt my elbow somehow last night but the pain is receding so I guess I can live with it….have been good for 4 days now and I feel pretty good even without sleeping so I may just keep that up…just checked on the new exhaust and it was in Cali yesterday and coming by ground so it looks like it won’t be here until Sat so no work until next week…but, they may do a miracle and get it here on time…don’t see that, though…it is damn gloomy right now with the rain and clouds an that makes my mood kind of gloomy, too….hope it quits so I can get on the bike this morning…it looks like my son has the new server in France figured out and Plex is back to working like it should…and I can add Tom to it now that he has more capacity…lots of free tv and movies….not much to do today….going to have a burger for lunch for the first time in months since it was on sale and then maybe out to have a couple with G before the Wings game…and a nap with not getting any sleep last night…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done so that was cool…slept okay last night…kinda….and feel okay today with having the third night of being good and tonight will be a fourth and I feel good about that….might just do the whole week since I am now getting used to it….the car is still holding up with the patch I put on it so the urgency of fixing the exhaust has lessened somewhat….I did talk to my middle son last night for an hour and that was fun…he has a new job running IT for a school district near Detroit and that is cool….still have the twinges in my elbows but still no full pain yet and I am not sure why that is….haven’t even taken any ibuprofen for it and that is a good thing…my back has been great for almost 6 weeks now and I am getting used to it not hurting and being able to move as I want….T is in Phoenix until Sunday and I kind of miss talking to her but it is something I think I can get used to…..not much to do today….going to clean some and make a half pork loin for lunch along with the normal stuff but that is about it…more later….

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…made a little cash but spent most of it on supplies that I needed so I guess the day was a wash…slept pretty crappy last night but I don’t feel that bad today so being good is having it’s desired effect….got a great bike ride in yesterday and finally felt like I am getting my legs back…it did help that it was over 70 and that loosened things up somewhat…haven’t had to take any ibuprofen for almost a week now and I am hoping my elbows were just screwing with me when they shadowed some pain earlier….don’t hurt at all today so I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed…did get a notice that they shipped my new exhaust yesterday but I don’t think it will get here by Friday…the car is still not too loud so I guess I can get through another week with the old one on it….not much to do today…got my state taxes in yesterday and got enough back to buy the exhaust and still have 50 bucks left over so that was cool…..oh, today….going to get back to the normal routine today but it’s been slow starting so I guess I’ll just play it by ear….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…way too many races on along with soccer so I really just vegged it out for the day….slept okay and was good last night so I feel pretty good today….and the Wings won so that was really cool but it’s only one game so I’m not back on the bandwagon yet….not sore anywhere so the bike ride will be okay today…I think the bike is going to have to be replaced soon since the rear swingarm is starting to wear out and I can’t see of any way to replace it….it would be nice to get an upgrade anyway but I may strip this one if I do….even though most of the stuff is worn out….we’ll see….the car hasn’t gotten any louder so that is cool, too, so I guess I can wait for the new exhaust….finally going to make a little cash today but have to spend some of that to get supplies but I guess it’s better than nothing….not much to do today….have errands this morning and then the normal stuff and some work around here…should accomplish a little today and that will be cool, too….more later…
