September 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done…the car is finally cleaned after the run to Mt. P Monday and that is cool….slept okay last night and woke up sore again so I’ve already taken something for it….that is getting old but the tendons in both elbows hurt like crazy today and I’m not sure what that is about…I did have to take a run out in the dark last night and I still love my new headlights…I haven’t been out in the dark in months and it was pretty cool going out with the top down….didn’t get any cleaning done yesterday and won’t today with the busy day that I have going today…but, cleaning is a weekend thing anyway and I’ll get it all done tomorrow or Sunday….I did get 1900 miles for the year yesterday and that makes it 500 miles until 25,000…hope to get there by the end of October…..not much to do today…nope, that’s not true…have two errands and pool this aft so I will be in the car starting at 10:30….but I will make some cash so that is cool…more later…

September 10th

Well…as you can see, the site was down this morning but it was just a small glitch so that was cool….slept okay last night and had weird dreams that paralleled Heinlein’s “the Puppet Masters” and even had another one that I don’t remember…didn’t get much done again yesterday but I have already been out to wash the car today so that is something….it was just so dirty from running in the rain Monday that I just had to clean it even though it looks like rain again right now…need to do the glass later but need to get the bike ride in first…have to lube the bike since I rode it in the mud and it sounds like some kind of dying animal with all the squeaks and groans…I am sore again today but it just the moving tendonitis that I have had for years so I’m not going to dwell on it…not much to do today…need to cook since all of the leftovers are gone and I am going to make some bad food that I have been craving lately…more later…

September 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and we finally got some rain that I hope will help with the allergies…slept okay last night but woke up sore again and I am getting tired of it…but, I won’t take anything for it at night…two ibuprofens a day is too much for me….I did get a few things done yesterday and today is another clean the bathroom day since the humidity seems to have lessened and it is much cooler this morning…and there will be laundry and a few other things to get done after the workout and the ride….after the second cup of coffee, that is….or maybe a third one today….still have the tightness in my shoulder and the tendon pain has moved again into my left elbow but not as bad as it was in my right…can still use it so I guess I’ll stop complaining…not much to do today….I do need to run an errand this morning before I get to cleaning..yeah, boring life….more later…

September 8th

Well…it was an okay but busy day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was cool…didn’t sleep well but that’s normal and I feel worn out today…that may be from not getting any exercise yesterday and now I’m waiting for the rain to stop so I can get back into the routine….the car worked perfectly yesterday even with the 200 miles and hot temps and I even had the air on for the last 30 miles that felt food…need to check the gas mileage just to see where I’m sitting…still has a half tank left after 200 miles so the estimate is about 30 or so and that is pretty good…I can’t wait for this darned humidity to end…I am tired of being damp all the time…probably shouldn’t complain too much since it is quickly coming into the cold weather…not much to do today…going to get back into the routine and use this as a recovery day….more later…

Long day already…

Well…it has been a long day already with driving 200 miles to Mt. P and back but some good things came of it so that was cool….I haven’t really thought about a political one for the day so I probably won’t do one…the trip back was a bear with stop and go, bumper to bumper traffic all the way from Howard City to GR…and then it just had to rain but the cool thing was that it happened while I was stopped in traffic so I could put the top up without getting wet….I am a little sore from being in the car and my stomach has been crappy all day and I’m not sure what that is about…probably from not eating enough yesterday or today…just couldn’t choke down more than half a chicken breast and I know that’s not enough for an entire day….I’ll give eating a try again later but nothing seems good to me so that may be hard….more later…

September 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done at all and that is starting to concern me…but, not too much…slept okay and feel okay this morning but I do need more coffee to get moving….and my back is sore again today so I’ll have to get some aspirin here in a minute…I did get a nice bike ride in yesterday but I am taking today off since I am making a run up to Mt P today to hang out with C for a while but I may be back here in time to take a late ride….I was really looking forward to having the top down but it looks like it is going to rain part way but we’ll see…other than the road trip, not much to do today….the 200 plus miles will take a lot out of me so it will probably be nap time when I get back here…more later….

September 6th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got some stuff done so that was cool…even cleaned some and that made me feel good..slept okay last night and had some dreams but I already don’t remember them so I guess I can’t report on them….my back seems to be better today and that is s a good thing since it hurt with every step and that was getting annoying…my shoulder is even better and I wonder if it is the aspirin I have been taking instead of ibuprofen….there is a robin that has just walked up to my screen on the slider and is just looking in here…I wonder if it would walk in if the screen was open? Not much to do today…it is a gorgeous morning with no wind so the bike ride is going to be a good one after I finish the F1 race and there is another race on tonight so that will be cool…I do have to clean the bathroom today, too, so I will have something to do…not sure how much I will do since it is going to be over 90 today…more later…

Funny…

Well…it has been a day of getting a few things done but one thing made me laugh as I thought about it…as you know, I’ve been thinking about buying a battery booster for the days that it gets really cold here in Michigan since the battery in the Miata just won’t cut it when it gets to 10 below or so…I did go out and buy one today and when I was reading the specs I laughed out loud…the battery in the Miata is really tiny…it only has 375 CCA..compared to normal batteries that have 500+..well…when I looked at the specs on the new battery booster, I found that it has 400CCA…more that the Miata battery in a space about half the size…which is weird to me but cool…so, now when it gets cold this winter, I will have 775 CCA and that should start it since it was real close to starting on it own at 15 below….at least I hope it does…and at 40 bucks, I couldn’t pass it up…

September 5th

Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool and made some money so that was cool…when I got back here my phone was blowing up since one of the guys here thought something had happened to me…even had one of the guys bang on my door to check on me…I think that is pretty cool…slept okay last night but feel a little crappy today with the allergies flaring up pretty good and I hope the storms that just rolled through will help with that…and, I am sore again today but I think that will be the new normal for me….I have been going like an idiot on the bike and the pain should be expected….not much to do today…just the normal stuff and a run out to HF to pick up a battery booster to get ready for the winter…and cleaning that I have been avoiding for a week now…more later…

September 4th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get anything done…maybe I’ll just stop talking about that…but, if I do that, I won’t have much to talk about…slept okay last night but no dreams again and it is a pain to waste a good night’s sleep and not dream…oh, well…I did cut the bike ride short yesterday since it was starting to rain and I just didn’t want to get wet…normally, I just keep going but there was some thunder involved and it would be too ironic to get hit by lightning when I use the bike ride to stay healthy….I did start to eat bad for the weekend with a couple of burgers yesterday and it looks like that will continue today with lunch with T and Mexican food for lunch….and then a burger later when I get home from pool….or maybe a salad…who knows? Not much to do today…pool, of course, and lunch with T, and the bike ride…cripes I need to get going…more later…
