Well…I have been trying to find a topic that will fire up my outrage today, but still no luck so I think I’ll just noodle a little and see what happens…have been watching the races this aft with nothing getting accomplished and I don’t feel bad about it…had a nice bike ride this morning but am sore from it…may have to take a day off to try to get the legs restored…but, there is a back component on my right side that is causing me some problems in my hip, too, so maybe I will have to rest it…I am up to almost 700 miles already and am heading to 20K in the next month or so so that will be cool when that happens…I did something cool with the car on Friday on the way out to pool…slid the rear of it in the dry and it was just so cool….now I know how fast I can take one turn anyway….have to make sure to not do that much..don’t want to use up the tires…okay…back to the races…maybe more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much but get the bike ride in and clean a little…and, another night of not sleeping so it will be a low key day….not even going to cook today since I have leftovers and burgers to make…there are some races on today that may keep me entertained for a while but boredom looks like the order of the day….I could clean, I guess, but just don’t have the motivation right now…maybe later…might get out to have a couple with K and K later but that will be the day…I really do need to figure out more things to do…more later…

Well…yeah, that is not a really creative title but what can you do? I was just sitting here waiting for F1 qualifying to start and thought I’d do a second one for today so I don’t get farther behind…there has been some stuff happen on the trail that i have not related yet so maybe that can be the topic? There was a hawk that was not more that 6 feet over my head in the park today that was pretty cool…and there were 10 or so goldfinches that were sitting in a small bush and they looked like blooms on the bush until they took off…that was pretty cool…and, I found a snapping turtle on the trail in the other park a few days back…anything else?  Nope, not really…going back to the couch and veg until qualifying…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool, finally, so that was cool…back to the not sleeping well again, though, and I am exhausted today…good thing I have nothing to do today..or a bad thing depending on how you look at it…and, as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one so that puts me three behind already and it’s only the 7th…need to start thinking about some topics and get moving…not much to do today…going to get out on the bike here in a few minutes but I do need that second cup of coffee first…and, I am going to clean the kitchen today but then there are races and the Belmont stakes later so I shouldn’t be too bored….just a little bored…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I didn’t get anything done but groceries and cooking but that is okay…slept okay last night but I think it was the build up of the past 5 of not sleeping but that is okay, too…I did try to eat more yesterday and was almost successful and that will continue today….it looks like a great day for a ride but still too cold to go out yet so I think I’m going to wash the car first so it can dry for waxing….not much to do today…pool, of course, and I need to win one…it’s been a few weeks and I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong….or what Tom is doing right…but, it is still fun and I’m looking forward to it…even though I’m broke again..or would that be still? More later…

Well…up and going early this morning… a little before 6 but I slept better so I guess that evens out….feel okay today , too, and that has something to do with eating enough and being good for another day….but, I think that may end tonight…not sure yet….I do have to do the grocery run this morning since I’m just so tired of ham and chicken….need to get more veggies and even some fruit today…better look at the ad to see what’s on sale…not much to do today…skipped the bike ride with all the rain yesterday and my legs feel much better for it….but, that means a long one for today…I did get some clothes stuff done yesterday with putting the winter stuff away finally and finding some summer stuff I didn’t know I had….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and a surprise outing to have a couple with G was fun…and, I found a pair of shoes that I may keep this time…so, all in all, not a bad day…other than being broke and unemployed…had one of the worst nights of sleep in a long time…may have had a total of about 3 hours after all of the tossing and turning but, what the heck else do I have to do but take a nap later? There were some really weird dreams with lots of blood and gore in them and that is very unusual….but it is still fun to have them. Not much to do today…looks like I may have to wait to ride the bike until after the rain ends but that should be in only an hour or so and I do need to have another cup of coffee so the timing will work out okay…and, I do need to clean the kitchen but that looks like a big job that I’m not sure I want to tackle yet….more later…

Well…haven’t done just a fun one in a while so I think I’ll talk about some things that happened on the trail today…with the wind that was blowing 20-30 mph out of the West this morning, the conditions were ripe to set some new records on the bike…and that is just what happened. On the first leg of the ride, after the first climb to the top of the hill along M-6, there is a downhill on the other side that I try every day to break the speed record for pedaling down to a certain spot on the hill…and then for overall speed at the bottom of the hill after coasting. The previous records were 28.3 mph for the pedaling portion resulting in a 32.3 mph speed at the bottom of the hill…but, today with the wind and three cups of coffee those were shattered….getting to 29.4 mph pedaling and 34.2 total speed at the bottom of the hill. I know, nothing that anyone but me would care about but I still think it’s pretty cool….

Oh, and I re-did the math on the total miles I’ve ridden on this bike and I am only about 350 miles from 20,000…yep, 20 thousand miles on a bike…burning 60 calories per mile that is like using 1.2 million calories….or converting it to pounds at 3,000 per pound…that is like using 400 pounds of me to ride that far…or, if I hadn’t ridden it, I’d weigh 400 pounds more….yech…

Well…up early this morning and it was day two of not sleeping again so I am a little worn out today…already, but, I was good last night so there is hope that the day will get better…there were dreams but just some frustrating stuff that had to do with the IRS, again, and I don’t remember the rest of it…it was an okay day yesterday but I was quite worn out from not eating enough and not being good Sunday…didn’t get much done but working on the bike and I think I’ve got the seat adjusted right finally so my legs don’t go numb…not much to do today…need to continue the cleaning and run a couple of errands but that is about it…more later….

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday…just didn’t have a topic I wanted to talk about and didn’t want to get into filler on the first day of the month…slept pretty crappy, breaking the string and I feel pretty crappy for it…didn’t do much yesterday but watch races…I did get out to see K for a few minutes and it got into a philosophical discussion about religion…I may have been a little hard on her but I’m not sure…have to remember that she is gentle and not used to arguing like I am…there was a cool thing on the trail yesterday…saw a huge owl just sitting there in the park…must have had a 4 foot wingspan…first one I’ve seen in a while….not much to do today…just going to take it easy and get some things done around here…more later…
