Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…a little bit around here but no cleaning…that will happen today since the bike will be down until early next week and I do need to do something to relieve the boredom…and, I’m running really early today for some reason…I guess it was that I was up at 5:30 and tv just has no interest to me right now….slept crappy again but feel okay since I was good last night and that makes 4 days in a row…might just make it five tonight….had a strange dream that somehow combined the Miata and the mountain bike into one thing and that was weird…another one of those early morning ones after you wake up and try to go back to sleep….not much to do today…I am going to make a grocery run to get the rest of the stuff for the turkey I’m making sat morning and then just a workout…another boring day….more later…

Well…running a little late today since I have been trying to watch the comet landing this morning…slept crappy again last night and have been up since about 5 or so so there may be a nap later today….I have the live stream of the comet stuff on in the background and it is a little annoying…so this one may be a little disjointed…I did get out on the bike in shorts yesterday but, as the last post revealed, I broke my rear shifter actuator so I won’t be on the bike for a while and that is starting to irritate me….but then, I did the math on how many shifts it has done since I bought it and it works out to over 100,000 shifts so I guess I shouldn’t bitch….not much to do today….just some stuff around here and watching the comet landing…more later….

Oh, one last thing…happy birthday to Neil Young…69 years old today….

Well…it has been kind of an odd day and I thought I’d do one more of these to describe it since I am a couple behind for the month…this morning, it was about 53 degrees after the grocery run and I got back here with the intention of getting on the bike in shorts for the final time this year with the big weather change that is coming. It was a good ride until I got out a few miles and the shifter unit on the handlebars broke so I could only downshift…I am glad I figured that out before I got all the way down to low but even stuck in fourth it was still a long, slow trip back here…once I got back here I took the thing apart and found that it had finally just worn out and the connection between the lever and the shifter pawl had broken…had to order another one that doesn’t match since they don’t make that one anymore but that really didn’t bother me…after all, the bike is 8 years old now and showing the wear….the part was only 20 bucks delivered but I won’t get until early next week so the calorie counting starts today to try to take 800 a day out…not sure if that can be done since I’m at about 1400 a day now and 600 is just not enough. Oh, well….

Well…running a little late today and it is because I had to go out for groceries…just couldn’t pass up a turkey for 54 cents a pound…where can you buy protein for that money these days? And, I really like turkey and turkey soup so that is something to look forward to for Sat when it is thawed….slept okay last night but another night of no dreams is a little frustrating…why do all the work of sleeping if you don’t get a free movie? I did have a nice lunch with T yesterday and that kicked off the week on a good note..always fun to hang out with her…and, I got the snow tires on the car in anticipation of the big storm coming but now there is supposed to be less snow so maybe I jumped the gun….would rather change them out when it was in the 50’s than the 20’s so maybe it was a good idea…and the car looks bad with the black wheels on it so that is s good thing…not much to do today…I am going to get out on the bike in shorts for one last time if it’s not raining but that is about it…more later…

Well…running a little late this morning and there really is no reason for it…not really late now that I look at the time..it just feels like I’m running late…that’s weird….slept crappy again but that’s nothing new and I didn’t accomplish anything yesterday but vegging…was really good at that so maybe that’s something? Just did the sports thing all day and the Lions won so that was a good thing that was unexpected…feel okay today since I was good last night and that will continue all week this week…I am going to buy a turkey this week and cook it this weekend since there is no cheaper protein and I really like turkey…I mean, 54 cents a pound? Might even get a big one at that price…not much to do today…might have lunch with T but that is about it…the repair on the tooth has held up for a couple of days now but I don’t think it’s permanent…better than nothing, though…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get anything done…and today is shaping up to be the same as Sundays usually are…slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of again so I won’t…I still feel pretty crappy from the cold/allergies and that is getting really tiring…but I guess I’ll just live with it for now…might have to go out this week to buy a turkey since they are going for around 50 cents a pound at Meijers and there is no protein that is that cheap…and, I can use the carcass to make soup…not much to do today…going to get on the bike in a few minutes even though it is only 36…I do have the thermasuit figured out so that won’t be bad….more later…okay…there is football and races on today that I forgot to mention…so, there…I mentioned it…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I did have the top down out and back so that added something…not sure what….slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of which is a little disappointing…and, the cold/allergies are just killing me this morning…might have to take some allergy stuff this morning it is so bad…it’s kinda draining my energy, too, so with the rain, I may just skip the bike ride this morning and wait til this afternoon…Man U plays at 10 and the Chelsea/Liverpool match is a good one and on right now so I need to get back to that one….not much to do today…might just make it a veg day with all the sports/races on but the bathroom needs a cleaning so I may do that, or I may not…who knows?  More later….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a few things done around here so that was cool…slept okay but woke up sore today and that is getting old…and, the allergies/bug is still keeping my eyes dry and itchy and I want it to be over pretty soon….not sure what the heck is still out there to be allergic to but there must be something….still haven’t read any news…well hardly any…and I think that will continue through the weekend….not much to do today…skipped the bike ride yesterday so I need to get out there after the next cup of coffee…I did get to a new record of 30.8 mph on my downhill run wed but the wind changed by the time I got to the bottom of the hill so no new top speed record…but 34.5 is still pretty fast…not sure when I’ll get the next chance to try for a new one….more later…

Well….still not coping well with the debacle from Tuesday but I think I have found a work around by not reading any news…so, I’m going to try that again today…slept crappy again last night but I think this time it is the cold/allergies that are really bad right now…don’t feel bad but just can’t breathe at night…have a really annoying wheeze that is amplified by wearing earplugs and that keeps me awake, too….I did get a bunch of stuff done yesterday and I have more to do today so that will help keep me away from the news, too…..not much to do today…have the grocery run first and then back here to wait for the rain to stop so I can get out…it looks like yesterday will be the last day in shorts on the bike but not for just getting around…still have the goal of getting to t-day but the next week is going to be a trial with temps int he 20’s and 30’s…more later…
