Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday since I just couldn’t work up the outrage to put together a good one…and, as always, I’m running late today for no reason other than I wanted to read the papers and have my coffee first….it was a nice day with putting the top down out and back to shoot pool…and winning the week…slept okay last night but the dreams didn’t come and the is becoming the new normal…skipped riding the bike since I didn’t want to go back to the full thermasuit after being out in shorts Thursday and it looks like I’ll wait for it to warm up enough for shorts today….if it doesn’t rain, that is…I do have to get some stuff cleaned up around here today and I am going to grill some pork loin chops that I have in the brine…have used the grill every day since I got it up and running and that is pretty cool…bad for me, but cool…not much to do today…Michigan plays tonight in the final four and I am really looking forward to it even if they lose, it has been a great season….have to find my gear and wear it all day…after the bike ride that is….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with it being a cocktail night, I feel like crap this morning….at least it’s above freezing so I don’t have to melt the car down….woke up to grease spots all over the kitchen floor so I must have found more of the grease that fell off the bike when I was working on it…what a pain having to clean it up….not much to do today…I do have to get this place cleaned up but right now I need to go back to the couch for some water….

Okay…it’s been a couple of hours and I feel so much better that I thought I’d come back for a little more…have even gotten a bunch of stuff done already and that might be part of it…I was going to go out on the bike early but I forgot about that plan and put the thermasuit in the washer so I guess I’ll have to wait…want to go in shorts anyway….and my back is giving me fits again so I have to wait for the painkillers to kick in anyway…I am so happy the bike is working well…probably better than new in how it shifts and I already have 150 miles in towards the goal of 3,000 for the year….that’s enough for now…more later…

Well….the site was down again this morning…J said they had to reboot a node that had gone down but I’m back so that’s okay…it was an okay day yesterday with finding out the pulling to the right the car had was the tire being low on air…drives like new now and that is just so cool that my mistake didn’t hurt it….and I made the first burger on the grill and it is so nice to not have to bend over to cook on the little camp stove I have been using…and the venison burger with chopped bacon was just yummy…I did have some dreams last night but they were like a low rent version of “Justified” with lots of killing and bad guys but just to have one was nice…I do have a bunch to do today…I need to get the car cleaned up with doing the interior and waxing it and the trash has been piling up so that needs to be done, too….but, right now, I am going to read the papers and have coffee…

Well…it was another day, just like all of the rest yesterday and I didn’t get much done but getting the grill cleaned…and sleep was normal and crappy with no dreams to speak of…so, that keeps up the string and it is frustrating to say the least….I do have a bunch of stuff to get done today and I am going to get off my butt and get to them…this place just needs me to get to work and get the papers out and the rest of the cleaning…and I am going to make some venison burgers with chopped bacon in them for lunch today since the grill is clean and working….other than that, not much to do today…I will be back for at least on other one today since it looks like a target rich environment again….

Well…I think it may be hard to get back in the habit of doing this every day after having the past three weeks off…but, I’ll try…it was basically a wasted day yesterday since I haven’t been feeling that hot but I do need to get something done today…didn’t sleep all that well last night and have been up since 5 or so and that makes it about 5 hours of sleep and I think that is starting to catch up to me too…..I do have to go out and buy some chain today to chain the grill and tank to the patio support so it won’t get stolen and I do need to clean it to get ready for cooking…that will probably be it for the day….I will try to get the papers out and vacuum but I’m not promising anything…more later…

Well…have been thinking about a political one for today but wanted to get some car stuff out first since there have been a few things that have happened to the car since March 12th…I did hit a curb with the right front in the snow a couple of weeks ago and may have bent the front some…it seems to pull to the right but the thing is so sensitive to uneven roads that I may not have…I did just check the pressure in that tire and it was only 25 lbs while the other front had 30 so that may have something to do with it…and, I don’t really remember how it drove before I hit it so it may be all in my head….the steering wheel is still straight so maybe I’m just going crazy…the rest of the car has been perfect all winter and has used no oil in the last 4,000 miles and that is just too cool for a car with 155 K on it….and, all of the coolant leaks have been found and fixed so it is just a normal car now…I am getting addicted to Miata.net but need to stop reading all of the posts about the parts failures or I’ll never take the thing anywhere again…

Well…did the math and it’s been almost three weeks since I’ve been here…and not being able to do this has been harder than I thought it would be..I did do a little writing over at Kos but I feel more comfortable here doing the kind of free form stuff that I like to do…I did sleep okay last night but it was a cocktail night so I really can’t tell anything by it….one thing that I find funny is that I seem to have lost my ability to type quickly….and I was talking to Tom the other day about not writing anymore but to do a podcast but this just seems to be natural for me…didn’t ride the bike yesterday or today with the wind blowing so hard…oh, I do need to share that I had to replace all of the rear drive parts on the bike…shifter, sprockets, and chain since they had over 12,000 miles on them and the new chain wouldn’t mesh…have it working better than ever now and I guess the 60 bucks was worth it….okay…need to do some other stuff so I’ll end here…oh, not much to do today…I have been letting this place go to hell so I do need to clean up and get rid of the papers again…but, it is still so cold out I think I’ll wait for tomorrow….

Well…as you have probably noticed…this site has been down for a couple of weeks with a massive server crash and waiting to get the backup copy so it could be rebuilt…so, I will say thanks to my son J for all his hard work getting me back up and running…and now I have a couple of weeks to get caught up on…it was really kind of strange not being able to do this every day and it did leave a hole in my day that made me feel uneasy…like I was supposed to be somewhere and couldn’t remember where it was…but, now I’m back and ready to get on with it again. It was an okay day yesterday with Michigan crushing their opponent in the tournament and making it to the final four….and their was a free preview of HBO on the dish so it was an all day marathon of “Game of Thrones” in between so that was cool. When I left to get the papers this morning I found a 20 lb propane tank on my doorstep that Brian brought me..I had it filled and tried the salvage grille that he found me and it works so there will be cleanup today and I will be grilling tomorrow…yay…okay…I do need to eat lunch and get the bike ride in but I will be back for many, many more of these today since I have my head filled with things to comment on and need to get it out before it starts to hurt…more later…

Well…running a little late today but thought I’d get this one done while I wait for the car to melt…kind of a surprise having to do that with it being over 50 yesterday….it was an okay day but the overdoing it from Sunday made it harder than I like it to be and I do not like feeling like crap all day…but, I was good last night and I feel much better today so that is a good start…sleeping was a a challenge again last night and I think I got about 4 hours but that is almost the new normal and I guess I’ll just have to live with it….I still think I may have a bug…or probably it just year round allergies…that would be a pain if that is the case but maybe I’ll try some OTC stuff to see if it helps….not much to do today…looks like pool will be today but that is about it….more later….

Well…it was a really long day yesterday with going out for sunday funday with K and staying out way too long, and then having a cocktail night to finish it up…so, I feel like crap today and I am having a hard time getting going…I know part of it is the time change since it is really only 8 right now instead of 9 but that is no excuse…okay, it is an excuse and I am going to use it…I don’t remember missing yesterday’s post but it looks like I did..or, it could be that the site just lost it again…I may be able to get back on the bike today but, to do that, I need to get my butt in gear and get the workout in and get moving….more later…
