Well…up at the normal time this morning and slept okay last night so I am a little motivated to get to this early…and it was a no cocktail night so that helps, too….I am sore today, though, and it is that same neck problem I’ve been having for the last couple of weeks and I think it’s from sleeping on it wrong…or from sleeping better so I don’t toss and turn as much as I used to….still haven’t figured out the car but I am going to look at the last place the coolant can be leaking…but the bad news is that there are 5 things on that small part that can be leaking…at least I’ll take a look to see if there is something I can see….not much to do today…might have pool with Tom but he sounded really sick last night…if he feels like I did, the only thing he will want to do is hit the couch…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I was good last night so I feel okay this morning…I did get a top down run in yesterday to see if I’ve fixed the car…not sure yet…it smelled a little while I was driving it but not much when I got back…maybe it’s just burning off all of the coolant that was spilled on the back of the engine…we’ll see today…going to take it out for a long run and get some heat in it…then I’ll move on to the next thing if it is still leaking…slept okay last night and there were dreams but again, I don’t really remember them…I may be able to get out on the bike in a t-shirt for the last time today but it is foggy right now so that may have to wait for later…not much to do today…I do need to clean some today and then get some resumes out…….but that’s about it…more later…

Well….as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday but it is the first of the month and I just don’t feel that motivated right now…I did take the car out for a drive with the top down to see if it is still leaking and I’m not sure if it is…just a small whiff of coolant smell but that may be from all of it that is on the back of the engine…hope so, anyway, but I think I will take the coils off tomorrow so I can see down to the block on the back of the head that the coolant goes into and see if there are more leaks there…other than that, didn’t do too much yesterday other than watch soccer and take a bike ride….it was a stretch to fight off the boredom but I was somewhat successful….and today looks to be the same…I can get out on the bike early today since it is already almost 60 but I will need to wait for the rain to stop…and I will come back for at least one more today but I’m not sure what it will be about….

Well…it was another bore of a day yesterday and I really didn’t accomplish much…didn’t even drive the car to see if it is fixed…think I’ll do that today to get two things done..putting the top down in every month…since it is going to be almost 60 today…that should get me out on the bike in shorts, too…didn’t sleep too well last night but I said I wasn’t going to bitch about it any more so I won’t…okay…the coffee is done and I do need to read the papers…more later…

Well…it was a day yesterday…oh, sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d get this done first…before I get to the papers, that is…I did wait until a little later to do this one but I went over to Meijers already so that is as good an excuse as any…I am sore everywhere today and I’m not sure what the cause of it is…I did work on the car for a while to replace a heater hose that one end had turned to mush…I am hoping that this is finally the solution to losing coolant but how can I be hopeful when I’ve thought that the last three things I’ve fixed…and 19 bucks for a molded hose that is about 12 inches long? Cripes…not much to do today…I am going to take it easy today…I did buy a 1/4 inch ratchet that will make tightening the hose much easier when I go out to do that today…pretty nice little unit for 6 bucks…okay, coffee is done so I’m going to read the papers…more later…

Well…it was a day yesterday and the car is still not fixed so I am very depressed about that….not sure what the next move will be about that but I just don’t want to think about that now…didn’t sleep at all last night and have been up since about 4 so today is going to be one of those days where I have to make up for it…and I am sore everywhere for some reason with my calves feeling like they are just on the verge of getting cramps which is really weird…might be from the bike ride yesterday but who knows? I don’t have a lot to do today so I’m not going to do it…didn’t win the powerball last night so that is depressing, too…so I guess I’ll just endure today and hope for a better tomorrow….

Well…it was a nice day yesterday and I had a fun lunch with T which made it even better….slept okay last night and had some dreams I don’t remember again but that is okay…I was good for the third day in a row so I feel pretty good this morning….still coughing but the sore throat is almost gone and I think I have some energy to get through this day…I may have found the leak where I have been losing coolant in the car…will find out today when I take it out to Cascade but when I went out to meet up with T, I could barely smell it so there may be hope that the car will be complete again and I’ll have one less thing to worry about…and it was the silliest thing…just a clamp you can barely see at the back of the engine that was really loose….have my fingers crossed on that one….not much to do today…might be going out for pool with Tom but that is about it…I am still going to continue to manage the energy consumption so the recovery continues but there may be light at the end of that tunnel….more later…

Well…it was another recovery day yesterday but I did get back on the bike and it was cold…came back with frozen fingers and toes but it was nice to be out again…and I do feel a little better today…I am confused that I still have some throat problems, not sore but still swollen…I hope that starts to go away today and I continue to make improvements…I do have lunch with T today to look forward to and I am excited to see her….did sleep okay for the second night in a row and I had dreams but don’t remember them at all…and I was good for the second day in row but I think I ate too much so that will have to be corrected today…not much to do today…I am going to try to get back on the bike today but that will have to wait for later….and I will be back for another of these later…

Well…getting an early start on the day today since I remembered to come here this morning…I was good yesterday trying to get over the bug that has been hounding me for a couple of weeks and I’m not sure if it is working…still coughing but the sore throat seems better…I did sleep okay and had some dreams that included tree cutting, overhead wires, college roommates, and vintage clothes…yeah, a pretty good combo and quite realistic…and the first one in quite a while…going to keep up the being good for the week I think and take the time to heal….not much to do today…still going to lay low for the day but may do the full thermasuit and try to get back on the bike for a ride today since I have been off for three days…and I do feel better when I ride….and I will be back later for another one of these since I am running out of month…

Well…as always, late again on the weekend and today it is that I feel like crap and I am having a hard time getting moving…the bug has not retreated at all and I don’t know when it will happen…frustration with the whole process is starting to get bad and I am so damn tired I don’t know what to do…so, I don’t think I’ll do anything right now but have another cup of coffee and watch a movie…and the F1 race that starts at 11…I am going to try to come back for another one today but there is nothing in the news that I want to write about right now…
