Well…that last one was number 4,013 so I missed the milestone of the 4,000th post here…four thousand posts….not sure what to think about that but that I would probably be crazy if I didn’t do these every day….it’s been kind of fun, kind of work, and I thank those of you who have stayed with me through the rants, through the outages and the introspection that is uncomfortable at times….I plan to keep on doing this to 5,000 or 10,000….maybe publish them as a book…who knows?

Well…the start to another month and, as you know, it’s my least favorite day of the month…slept okay last night and had some weird dreams that I have not been able to put into context so I guess I’ll just forget them…I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday and today is going to be the same…have a bunch of stuff to do around here again and then the normal rest of the day….think I’ll get the work done before working out and the bike ride so the aft will be open….I’m really sore again and I’m not sure what is going on…both elbows this time  along with my right shoulder and I’m wondering if it’s the weather….not much to do today…and I should be done by noon or so…more later…..okay…one last thing…just a musing on not seeing anyone anymore….wonder if I’ll lose my social skills if this keeps up?

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally got a bunch of stuff done that needed to be done…and today looks much the same with errands and lots of work around here…will probably have to wait until the aft for the bike ride since some of the things I have to do are time sensitive…slept okay last night and I’m really not too sore this morning so that is something…Man U is disappointing me again with another loss and I may have to pick a new team to follow…really ruined my day when they lost yesterday….I guess I’ll just have to get over it….not much to do today…no, that’s not true…will be going full speed starting in about an hour so I need to get the coffee down to fuel that….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…not sure how I slept but I feel tired this morning so it must not have been that good…and, I feel a little crappy this morning but I know why that is…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get a pork shoulder cooked that came out pretty good after brining it overnight…pork usually turns kind of rubbery after brining but this one was really tender….so, I’ll have leftovers for most of the week even though I only cooked half of it….skipped the bike ride yesterday since it rained most of the day and that was good for the legs…they don’t hurt today and it will be interesting to see how they fare on the ride this morning…need to get out soon since Man U is playing at 11 and I want to see if they can continue like they played in Brugge…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…put an 8 in on the break so that made it a little better…slept okay but no dreams again..and that is getting redundant…..it looks like I may be able to take the day off from riding today since it is raining and looks like that will continue for a while…I can probably use a day off even though I’m not too sore today…hoping that the guilt won’t drive me to going out later but if the sun shines, I may just take a leisure ride…but, I feel a little slow today and may just sit on the couch and drink my coffee….not too much to do today…I have a pork shoulder in the oven right now at high temp to brown it and then I’m going to cook it low and slow the rest of the way…just trying some new stuff to see how it comes out….more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but still didn’t get anything done…well…I did get a few things done around here that were necessary but not enough….oh, well…crappy, crappy, night of sleep, too, so I’m a little worn out today…and the cramps in the calves have started already without having been on the bike and that is not good…I did get bananas at the store yesterday and have had one so I’m hoping they will be better before I get on the bike…it’s only 51 outside so I’ll have to wait a while for the temp to come up to go out…but I need to finish the coffee first anyway….one good thing is the soreness in my neck and shoulder is better so that’s something…and, I’m going to make some cash today and tomorrow so there will be groceries for the next two weeks…not much to do today…pool, of course, and an errand  but that is about it….more later…

Well…I think Tom will get a laugh out of this one…I have this weird obsession with how many bands/artists have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their songs…just saw another one…watching Crosby, Stills, and Nash on AXS…they have a Hammond…that makes almost everyone..other than Jeff Beck who I saw last week…just kind of funny….

Well…running really, really late today and I’m not sure how the morning got away from me…I did have to do the grocery run and put gas in the car but how I got to 9:30, I’m not sure…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few errands run so that was something…but no cleaning that I needed to do and I’m not sure I’ll get to it today…I do have to take G to the airport this aft so that will crimp the day somewhat…have to remember to take a bungee cord to hold the trunk down since I don’t think I’ve seen a suitcase small enough to fit without it….I have the tendon pain in my left elbow now and I am getting tired of the crap moving around like that…just wanted to get through a summer without any but I guess when you start getting old you have to just deal with it….not much to do today…I got a pork shoulder this morning and I’m not sure if I want to cook it today or Sat…but there is not much else to do other than stuff around here…more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but it was hard to get motivated to do much…I did get out to have a couple with G and that was only okay…slept okay last night but no dreams again and I may just stop reporting on that….the lack of motivation has carried through to today and I am trying to figure out a justification for not working out or riding the bike today…but, guilt is stronger than that right now so I guess I’ll get going in a minute….I do need more coffee to get going, though….the pain that was in my right tricep has moved to the left one and that is just so irritating….not sure why I’m so sore right now but part of it is that it was pretty cool on the bike yesterday and I never got warmed up enough to make the pain go away…not much to do today….just the normal stuff and coming back here for a couple more of these….more later…oh….only 650 more miles to 25K….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…was just in shock about Wall street’s meltdown and couldn’t think about anything else…but, I slept okay last night and that was strange…even with being good last night and the problem is that there is no pattern that I can replicate to ensure that sleep happens…the pain is better today but my left shoulder is still hurting and I wonder if it the moving tendonitis that I have had the past few years…I do have to buy some bananas in the grocery run this week since I have been getting cramping in my calves again on the bike….and it even hurts when I’m not on the bike so potassium is necessary…not much to do today….I will be back here in a minute for another sad one and that will set the tone for the rest of the day….more later….
