Well..it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…the spiders are still in the bathroom and the kitchen still needs to be cleaned but for some reason I just don’t care…slept okay last night but forgot to put the heat on and it was cold in here when I got up…still haven’t put it on but it seems tolerable with it only being 48 outside…will need to wear a sweatshirt if I decide to get out on the bike today…didn’t ride yesterday with all of the rain and that may have been a good thing to get rid of the soreness….feel a little crappy today and I have a few things to get done but not a whole lot….I do have to do two more of these to get to the goal for the month and I hope they are not fillers but I can’t promise anything….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and we tied at pool…which is kind of weird…slept okay but had a melancholy night last night…just one of those nights where it feels like an ending is coming but I’m not sure what that would be….had to run the air in the car on the way back from pool since it was raining and it was not bad….I think that is the longest time I’ve ever run it and the car was nice and cold….I just can’t believe that a 21 year old car still functions like a new one…I think it’s the only car that I have owned that the air actually worked…have had some weird food cravings lately and they continue today…going to make chili dogs today…something I never eat but they just sounded good…weird…not much to do today…may not ride today with the rain that is coming in since I don’t feel like going right now….just going to watch races and veg…more later…
I am a giant….
Well….I finally have something to report from the trail this season and it is really kind of cool….the other day I saw what I think was the biggest snake I have seen on the trail and a couple of us even stopped to look at it….but today…I felt like I was a giant….during the ride I came across all kind of wildlife that could only be described as miniature…starting with some snakes that were no larger than nightcrawlers, I then ran across some tiny little turtles that were about the size of a half dollar….but there weren’t box turtles so I’m not really sure where they came from…and then the tiny bunnies showed up a little ways down the trail…and they were so small that you could hold four of them in one palm and they didn’t even move when I rode by…don’t know if they have learned about predators yet but they sure better soon….it sure ran through my head that I was a giant and these tiny, puny animals were ants that I could easily step on…not that I would…just felt that way…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was cool….and I had a nice lunch of Japanese food that I am still feeling today..slept okay last night but I feel a little slow today and the coffee is not working yet….not sore so that is a plus but I think I’ll take something before I go out on the bike to try to keep the wrists from cramping…that seems to be the pain spot this year and it is annoying…along with the back that is….and the neck…okay, so there’s not one spot this year but a few….it was nice to get the car out on the e-way yesterday to get it warmed up but the bugs were in suicide mode and the windshield was coated when I got back here…and I just washed the car…not much to do today….pool, of course and then not much more…the computer seems to be better and that is just one less thing to think about….more later…

Well…it was a busy day yesterday and it felt good to finally get a bunch of stuff done….slept okay but forgot the allergy medicine and my head is plugged up this morning…don’t feel that bad, though, so that is a good thing….even got the car washed to get rid of the carpet bombing from some damn bird…had to scrub the thing with a scrubber since the windshield washer fluid wouldn’t even cut it….my legs are not sore today and my back even feels little better so I’m hopeful that the worst is past and I won’t be hobbling around Meijers this morning….not much to do today…the grocery run first and then have an errand to run and lunch out with J to have some sushi and other Japanese food…then back here to deal with the multiplying spiders in the bathroom…..more later…
New equipment….
Well….it has been a busy day and I did get a bunch of stuff done…..I am still working on stuff right now and I have been going since I got up at 6:30….but, that’s not what this one is about…I bought some new equipment today…my computer has been screaming at me for a couple of weeks now that it was low on memory so I bit the bullet and bought a new add on hard drive today….I can’t believe how cheap these things are…59 bucks for a terabyte drive….even after transferring everything I still have 925 gigs left on the thing…we’ll see how it works out but the thing is about the size of a deck of cards…and that’s not even solid state…it’s a platter type but I don’t care…pretty cool…and yes, this is a filler to get caught up…
New speed records….
Well…it been a busy day but I did need to record that I hit two new speed records on the bike this morning…..of course it was wind aided but it was still cool…okay, here it is….31.2 mph pedaling and 39.3 top speed at the bottom of the hill…yeah, 39 mph is really fast on the bike especially through the curves that are at the bottom of the hill…I’m not sure I can go any faster…just not enough gear to pedal any faster…might have to try it sometime with the road bike just to see if I can beat it…pretty cool….
May 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday got a few things done but need to continue that today with getting the papers out and I counted 16 spiders in the bathroom today so that’s a few over my limit…will need to get rid of them today and do some cleaning….need to wash the car, too, so I will have some tasks for the day….slept okay and was good last night so I feel okay this morning other than the back hurting again….will take an ibuprofen in a minute to make sure the bike ride is not too painful….the ride yesterday was a good one and I came back soaked completely through…didn’t hurt after that so I am a little confused on why it hurts today…have had three days of no leg pain so having it come back is a little disappointing…not much to do today…just going to hang out and get a few small things done but that is about it…more later…

Well…running a little late today and I just can’t get motivated to get going….slept okay last night and I’m not sore this morning which is really weird…tired, but not sore and I guess that is progress….had a really nice lunch with T yesterday and that raised my spirits a bunch along with making some cash….didn’t get anything else done so today I have to summon some discipline and get at least one thing done….kitchen, probably, or dusting since it is getting thick in here…and the spiders are taking over the bathroom again so there are many things to do….need to check the radar to see if I can get the ride in before the storms that are coming…I look forward to that with all of the birds that are targeting my car…..not much to do today…and that is true…just frickin cleaning…ugh…more later….
May 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got the bike ride in without pain for the first time in a long time…not sure why that is but they don’t hurt this morning, either, so maybe they are healing…slept okay last night and that makes the other night even more confusing….but, I’ll take that one, too….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but that was the plan with all of the races that were on…today looks much the same but I may have lunch with T and that will brighten the day up some…going to try to get out on the bike this morning if the rain holds off a little while longer…but, it is so warm already that even if the rain is light I may just go anyway….that’s about it…need to get the workout started so I’ll have time for the bike….more later….
