August 19th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and another normal one where I didn’t get much done…I did get soaked on the bike since it started raining just as I took off and kept raining until I got back here…was not unpleasant since it was over 70 and there was no lightning but I skipped sitting in the park at the last water stop since stopping was a little chilly…..slept okay last night and no dreams but with the all of the Miata wreck dreams lately, it was okay to have a little break…not as sore as I have been lately but I still do need to take some ibuprofen before since my wrists were killing me yesterday…no back pain, though, so that is progress….not much to do today…oh, one other thing….Man U won their first leg match yesterday and looked a little better so maybe they will get to the knockout stage…okay, back to not much to do today…just the ride and cleaning since I made popcorn last night and found out that butter is not the right thing to pop the corn in…tiny little, burned kernels that were pretty darn tough…more later…

Well….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done, again, but I did get out to have a couple with G and it was not terrible so that was cool….even tried to eat enough yesterday and may have been successful but I won’t know that for a while….and it looks like I won’t be on the bike this morning with the rain that is coming in but going in the aft is cool, too…or, I may take a day off and just let some of the soreness go away…didn’t sleep well again but it wasn’t as terrible as it could be so that’s a plus…had Miata wreck dreams again where an idiot person ran into it while it was parked and since it is so old, it was totaled…and that was not good….oh, well….there is a soccer match with Man U starting the champions league today so that will be cool to see if they come to play…if they play like that last two games, they will be out of the playoffs today…just can’t figure out how they can be so bad again this year….not much to do today…have to go to the bank after the workout and then have to work on the computer to see id I can free up some memory…more later….

August 17

Well…it was a pretty good day yesterday with having a nice, long lunch with T with lots of laughs and good conversation….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning but my stomach is still giving me fits today and I’m sure it is from not eating enough..so, today I will try to rectify that with a big lunch and dinner…well…big for me anyway….I am still sore from going hard on the bike but that is a good sore that I have earned so that I can deal with….my back is bad again today, though, and that is not from the bike…just getting old I guess and I don’t like it…not much to do today…just the normal stuff and some cleaning along with cooking and resumes…damn resumes…more later…

August 16th

Well…it was a kind of crappy day yesterday with feeling off all day and I think it’s from not eating enough…my stomach was iffy all day and I didn’t have any energy but I think I feel better today…ate about 500 extra calories yesterday and I’m hoping that that will carry me through the day today….didn’t do much with feeling crappy other than watch sports and lie on the couch and today doesn’t look much different…I do have lunch with T to look forward to but I’ll wait to hear from her before I put it firmly in my plans…I am still sore today so It looks like that will be the new normal and my allergies have been bad the past few days…it looks like I will have to take something for them today since I was plugged up when I got up this morning…not much to do today…lunch…maybe..but that’s about it…when I get home there will be races and soccer but I will take it easy and see if my stomach will hold up….,more later…

August 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost, badly, at pool but that was okay…going back to the Shame to play was okay, too, so I guess it was a good day….and, I got three out here when I normally just do one on pool days so that is something…not sure what but something….feel okay today, too, even after not being good last night so that is cool…it was nice to hear the rain just before bed last night but I really wanted some of the storms that bracketed GR to the east and west…oh, well…my back is sore today and it has been a pain for a couple of weeks now and I guess I’ll just have to live with it….doesn’t hurt when I’m on the bike so that’s the main thing…not much to do today…going to watch soccer and racing and try to clean a bit but that’s about it….more later…

August 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress…the car looks good but that was all I did…okay…I got one thing done….slept okay last night and had a weird dream that had the low battery chime from my phone in it…yeah…strange…feel a little crappy this morning after being good all week but not last night….not sure I am going to have cocktails much anymore….I am sore…at least my back is today and that has been bugging me for a week now and I don’t like it…it’s not as bad as when I was younger but it seems to make me stiffer now than it did…not much to do today…pool, of course, but at a new place and I’m not sure I like that much….but that’s life and I guess I have to deal with it…more later…

New server….

Well…just got the site migrated to a new server that should make it more reliable….so maybe no more week long outages…I hope anyway….have been working on a new topic for the day and haven’t found one yet…have been kind of busy getting the car cleaned after all the gravel yesterday but I have it done now…new wipers…and that irritates me a little..bought some Michelin wipers that you would think would be high quality and they only lasted about 4 months before they started to steak like crazy…and the paint on the arms faded so bad they looked like they were 10 years old…and, I went back to rain-x for the windows just to try to keep them clean for a while….but, no politics right now…going to go back to the phone and look for a topic…more later….

August 13th

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run and wanting to have that second cup of coffee that I haven’t gotten to yet…not sure what that means but it sounded good in my head…slept okay last night but not good but better than the other night so that is something…didn’t get much done yesterday but go out and scout locations to shoot pool and did not find one that is better than the Shame…so, that looks like where we will be going this week…and, all of the roads to the bars that I checked out were just graveled so my car looks like it has been in the salt for a month and that means a wash this morning before the bike ride….what a pain….it looks like the day will be working on the car to get it clean and changing the wipers, along with rain-xing the glass to see if that will help on the cool mornings….the Lions start their preseason tonight so I will have something to watch tonight instead of digging back into shows I’ve already watched….

Oh, one thing I forgot earlier in the week was to say RIP to Buddy Baker…one of the Nascar drivers that I like when I started to follow the sport many, many, many, years ago…who died earlier in the week at 74….

August 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that is cool…there will be groceries this week….back to sleeping crappy again just like yesterday and I almost forgot what it was like to wake up exhausted…but, I remember now and I don’t like it at all…I did get some stuff done yesterday so that was progress and I do have some things to do today, too, so that will keep the boredom at bay some….I have been so sore lately that I may have to take a day off the bike to let things heal up some…and these are not normal pains…well, now that I think of it, they are except for the shoulder stuff so we’ll go hard again today to see if it makes it worse….I do have to wash the car today but the workout and bike ride come first…not much to do today…just the car and cooking lunch but I may take the easy way out for that and just make a pizza…I do feel good that I have been losing weight but not fast enough for me…more later….

August 11th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday an I made some cash so that was cool…the sleep is back to the height of crappy and I am exhausted this morning just sitting here and doing this…but, I am hoping the coffee will counteract some of that so I can get the workout and bike ride in…it is another gorgeous Michigan morning out there and it would be a shame to waste it by being a slug….didn’t get much done yesterday but I did miss getting wet…twice…just walked in the door fro the bike ride and it started pouring and just got back from an errand in the car and it started to rain just as I got the top up….small bits of luck that I’ll take….after going hard on the bike the past two days, I am sore today but it’s not bad so I can live with it….not much to do today…I have a few things to do around here that need to be done today so that will be the priority for the morning…going to need to take a nap later with only getting about 4 hours of sleep last night…more later….
