Well…running a little late today and I just can’t get motivated to get going….slept okay last night and I’m not sore this morning which is really weird…tired, but not sore and I guess that is progress….had a really nice lunch with T yesterday and that raised my spirits a bunch along with making some cash….didn’t get anything else done so today I have to summon some discipline and get at least one thing done….kitchen, probably, or dusting since it is getting thick in here…and the spiders are taking over the bathroom again so there are many things to do….need to check the radar to see if I can get the ride in before the storms that are coming…I look forward to that with all of the birds that are targeting my car…..not much to do today…and that is true…just frickin cleaning…ugh…more later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got the bike ride in without pain for the first time in a long time…not sure why that is but they don’t hurt this morning, either, so maybe they are healing…slept okay last night and that makes the other night even more confusing….but, I’ll take that one, too….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but that was the plan with all of the races that were on…today looks much the same but I may have lunch with T and that will brighten the day up some…going to try to get out on the bike this morning if the rain holds off a little while longer…but, it is so warm already that even if the rain is light I may just go anyway….that’s about it…need to get the workout started so I’ll have time for the bike….more later….

Well…just got back from riding the bike and my legs are much better than yesterday…I feel so much better than yesterday so I guess I’ll just take that…and, I have only 1800 more miles to go to get to 25K on this bike and that is something of an accomplishment…kinda…the race from Manaco was marred by a huge blunder by Lois Hamilton’s team…I mean he’s in the lead with 10 laps to go…a yellow comes out and they bring him into the pits for some reason…everyone else stays out and he loses the race…I am still shaking my head about that one…Indy was better than I expected with lots of passing at the end…making for an exciting finish…I did take a short nap during the race even with it being exciting….but, I am still tired with no sleep last night…now, back to the couch for some water….

Well…sitting here waiting for the F1 race to start and thought I’d get this done before the all day races start…slept really crappy last night…was up 15 times so I guess it just wasn’t worth it…will be taking a nap later for sure…still sore from riding so I think I’ll take today off and let the legs heal….my back still hurts, too, and I had a thought that it may be a bug but I don’t think there is any flu going around….I do feel much better than yesterday so that’s progress….not much to do today…it’s races and Man U all day so that’s it…more later….

Well…going to change things up today and not write about politics as I usually do, but about something that popped into my head yesterday. When shooting pool, Tom and I talk about machinery a lot and that got me thinking about why I like the Miata so much. It feels like a machine when you drive it..and there is nothing on it that isn’t necessary….not like a new or normal car that tries to do it’s best to isolate you and lull you to sleep and how you drive it really doesn’t make that much difference. But, that’s not true with the Miata…it rewards skill and paying attention and it will do things that it shouldn’t do if you get it right….I feel the same way about the other machine that I use daily…my mountain bike. When everything is adjusted right so the shifter works great it is easy to forget yourself on it and swoop along the trail with just little nudges to go left and right…about that time it stops hurting, too, and then you know you are doing it right….just a few thoughts…have I said I like machines?

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool, finally, so that was cool….and had a nice drive out and back with the top down….slept okay last night but feel pretty crappy this morning…it was a chore going out for groceries this morning and I still feel a little off today…didn’t get anything doen yesterday but eat…made two burgers after I got home and now feel pretty guilty about that…but I know I need to eat more….the legs have been so flat on the bike that I know I need more calories but it’s hard to get out of the habit of limiting them…but, as I told Tom, this weekend, I am going to eat and drink whatever I want…..it looks like a busy day today with F1 qualifying right now, then a drive with the Miata folks, drinks with the twins and then grilling later…..that’s it…back to qualifying…more later…

Well…not really running late but need to get this one done pretty fast since I have a bunch of stuff to get done early today…slept okay last night and feel okay today but woke to the damn car being covered with pollen again and have to realize that is a big part of my head being stuffed like concrete…didn’t get much done yesterday but didn’t need to but I did get out to have a couple with G…and got to put the top down so that was cool…and I am going to make a little cash today so that is a good thing…there was a really cool thing in the papers this morning…the Babcock family took out a full page ad in both Detroit papers thanking the people of Detroit and the Wings for their 10 years there…pretty classy thing to do…..not much to do today….pool, of course, but that is about it….going to be running the grill all weekend and I am looking forward to that….more later…

Well….running late today and it’s because I did the grocery run and have been distracted by the F1 practice at Monaco….slept okay last night and feel okay today but I am still sore which is getting really, really old….didn’t get much done yesterday but wash and wax the car…which didn’t really help since the car is covered in pollen already…at least there is no bird crap today….I did get the bike ride in and it was strange with my legs going flat about 4 miles from here and it got so bad that I almost thought I wasn’t going to make it back…I know that is from not eating enough but I’m not sure I can do anything about it…I may have lunch with T today so that will help and then there will be leftovers later…I did splurge on some burger today since I haven’t had any in almost a year with how high the prices have been so there will be grilled burger over the weekend…not much to do today…just the bike ride and lunch then some cleaning…more later….

Well…running a little late this morning and it’s because I just can’t get going….may have to have 3 cups of coffee just for the jump start…slept okay last night but woke up really sore and I have been hobbling around which is really annoying….need to take an ibuprofen before the bike ride so my wrists don’t hurt…the good thing is my tricep has been better the past few days and that is a good thing…I don’t think my car has ever been as dirty as it was when I went out for the papers this morning…it appears that a whole flock of birds decided to crap all over it and it mixed well with the pollen that has been accumulating for the past week….going to wash it after I work out this morning since I just can’t stand it being so dirty….not much to do today….going to get some spider patrolling done and get rid of the stack of papers but that is about it…more later…

Well…running a little late today and It is because I stayed up late last night and was not good…feel pretty crappy and it is cold in here…forgot to close the window in the kitchen last night and it is 46 outside so I may have to turn the heat on…might have had a falling out with T….not sure why that would be but haven’t heard from her since early Sunday….may have to prepare for not hearing from her again…slept okay and got up late and the only thing I want to do is go back to the couch…..I did make a little cash yesterday so I have money for the next month or so and that does feel good…there will be groceries this week and I may even buy something special for the holiday weekend…not much to do today…going to be a recovery day and I don’t really feel like doing anything so I just might take the day off an do nothing….more later…
