August 10th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…the sleep has gone to hell again, too, and that is really frustrating after having almost a week of it being good…oh, well…I guess it had to go bad again….and I am sore this morning and I’m not sure if it was from the full speed on the  bike yesterday of the tossing and turning last night…I guess it doesn’t matter, really….might have to take the day off the bike with it raining and that may be a good thing…I did feel great on the bike yesterday so that was something that I have been waiting for for a while and I can’t believe it has taken weeks to get over that bug….not much to do today…have some stuff to do around here but that will be done this morning so the aft will be a bore…there is soccer on so I guess that will help…more later….

August 9th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was progress…slept okay, too, so I feel okay this morning for some reason….I did get out to have a couple with K yesterday and that was fun but gives me a head start on the cocktail night that usually makes it hurt in the morning but not this time…finally got the bathroom de-spidered and cleaned and today should be the kitchen but we’ll see how that goes….the bike ride was fun yesterday and I felt pretty good out there…it appears the legs and lungs are back to full strength and part of that is going hard until I can’t go anymore….but today is going to be a no sprint day and probably some Pink Floyd in the ears but I’m not sure yet…I did get to watch the start of the BPL season yesterday and Man U looked pretty bad beating Spurs by only 1-0…at least they won…not much to do today….just the bike ride and cleaning..then a little napcar in the aft….more later…

A full spandex woman…

Well…as you know, there are times that I comment on the spandex boys out on the trail; the bike riders in the thousands of  dollar bikes and spandex riding clothes from head to toe…probably fantasizing that they are in the Tour de France….and, until earlier in the week, it was always guys in those getups and quite a few of them shouldn’t be…as I’ve said before, no one looks good in spandex…oh, lost the thread…earlier in the week I saw a young woman in full spandex on some German bike I’ve never heard of….saw her twice actually, but she was not trying to go fast like a lot of the guys…she was just taking it easy and I just don’t understand spending all that money to just cruise…but I’m not going to spend a lot of time trying to understand…just something new…

August 8th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and i won at pool so that was cool….but that was the last one at CSB so that wasn’t….didn’t get anything done so today will have to be different…the spiders are taking over again so at least the bathroom will have to be done…sitting here right now in my Man U jersey watching the first game of the season and that will give me something to do sat and sun mornings….and Man U is ahead 1-0 halfway through the first…not much to do today…going to just watch football and clean…have to stop at the produce stand to get some tomatoes but I think I’ll do that on the bike since I ride near it….more later…

Change….

Well…it has been a day of change with Jon Stewart leaving the Daily Show…just watched the last one and all I could think about was the laughs I got out of that show…but, things change…and Tom and I had a big change today when we found out that the place we go to shoot pool on Fridays is closing so we now have to find a new place and that is a huge pain in the butt…have been going there for 5 years and it was just damn convenient and comfortable…oh, well…there was one thing about the Daily show that I think Tom will get a laugh out of…when we were playing today, I was going on about how many bands have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their music…it’s just an instrument that sounds right to me…well…the last part of the show tonight had Bruce Springsteen and his band on and guess what they had on stage…a Hammond B-3…and that is kind of funny since the last one was made in in 1975….still don’t like change and probably never will….

August 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got my check back from the feds so that was cool..now I can pay my car insurance without taking the living money that I have saved…slept okay, I think, but I was a little numb from watching the debates and having cocktails to tolerate them…that will be the topic of one for later today…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks the same with pool later and having to run some errands this morning…the spiders will have to wait until tomorrow….crap…forgot the ibuprofen…okay..that’s done…I do need to remember to take it since it really helps with the wrist pain when I’m on the bike….not much to do today…didn’t make it to Jon Stewart’s last show last night so I need to watch that later today but that is about it…and pool, of course, looks like a nice day for a top down run out and back…more later…

August 6th

Well…running a little late today since I had to do the grocery run this morning..how do you spend 45 bucks at the grocery store and come home with nothing? At least I had the 45 bucks to spend….slept okay last night but no dreams this time and I’m okay with that…I was good again last night but that is going to go away tonight…after all, how can you watch the repub debates without a cocktail or four?  I do feel okay today but there is a general soreness that I haven’t felt in a while….okay…going to go get some ibuprofen…that’s done…have to prep for the bike ride or my wrists and right tricep will cramp up on me…not really cramp but I think it’s tendon swelling from irritation….I do like my new coffee maker…it makes better tasting coffee than the last one and it has chrome accents on it that I like…not much to do today…going to do the bathroom since I counted 12 spiders in there this morning and the shower needs to be cleaned…I do have to watch Jon Stewart’s last show but I’m not sure I’ll make it tonight…probably have to watch the rerun tomorrow night…more later….

August 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I was good again so I feel okay today..slept okay again…not as well as the other night but still better than normal…my back hurts today, though so the ibuprofen will be necessary for the bike today…there were dreams again and my Miata keeps turning red in them so I don’t know what that is about….I did finally get out to replace the coffee maker and got a nice one for 15 bucks that I just ran for the first time…pretty good coffee so that is cool…I also made some cash yesterday so I can pay my car insurance next week….I am happy that the car is so reliable…have not spent anything on repairs in over two and a half years…I know I don’t drive a lot but that is still pretty cool…put 15 bucks in the car last week and it still has 3/4 of a tank in it…not much to do today…the normal stuff but that is about it….I do need to do something before the summer is over and I’ve already done the beach thing so I’m not sure what that something would be….who knows?  More later….

August 4th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but another wasted one that I need to change today…slept pretty good last night and I feel okay this morning…which is something I didn’t think I’d say anymore…I think the no cocktail idea is a good one and I think I’ll do that for a week or so to just see how it works out….but, no…I’m going to need a cocktail for the repub debate and Jon Stewart’s last show thurs….but that will be a late starter since I’ll have to stay up until almost midnight…and that’s late for me….have been making progress toward the goal of 25K miles on the bike and it’s down to only 900 more miles to get there….feel pretty good about that and my legs are back to normal finally….it looks like a week of great weather so I do need to wash the car again but I’m not sure why it gets so dusty so fast…..not much to do today…I do have to go out for the new coffee maker today and get some cleaning done but that is about it…..more later….

August 3rd

Well…it’s back to the old routine today after getting the site back up Friday…so, here we go….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…again…so today will have to be different….the storms were a little disappointing but the fog this morning wasn’t…pretty cool to wake up to but it is burning off now before I get the chance to ride the bike in it…slept okay but went to bed dearly out of just sheer boredom so that made for an early morning today….but, I feel okay so it will be a workout and bike ride day….not even sore at all but I will still take something before I get on the bike since my wrists have been killing me when I ride….not much to do today…need to clean and go out for a new coffee maker but that is about it…and then come back here for another one after I read the news to get some topics…more later….
