Well…while I wait for the Lions game to start the second half, I thought I’d relate some trail danger that I went through on today’s ride…while I was out, riding through the woods at the end of Hanna Lake…the wind was just howling through the trees and I heard a really loud crack, then a huge thud that I could feel even on the bike…I turned around to find that an 8-10 inch thick branch had fallen across the trail no more than 20 feet behind me….only a 5 second delay in my ride and the damn thing would have hit me….needless to say, I was just completely freaked out when that happened….oh, I did get out in just shorts and a t-shirt today…not the latest in a t-shirt but pretty close….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I had some fun meeting up with K for a couple but the rest of the day was just another normal, boring day….I guess I should get used to it…don’t want to but need to…slept okay and didn’t get up until after 7 which is really sleeping in for me….and didn’t know that Michigan won until this morning…I was just so disgusted with how they were playing I turned it off…and, I was out so that was easy….didn’t get much done but cleaning and that was okay, too, but I do need to do more of that today after the bike ride…need to wait for the next wave of rain to come through but then there looks like about an hour window to ride…going out in a t-shirt since it is over 60 already….other than that…not much to do today…football and races and a nap…more later…

Well…just sitting here waiting to meet up with K in a few minutes and thought I’d do this one to try to stay close to caught up….out on the trail today it looked like someone had driven their car into the swamp at the end of Hanna Lake at 60th street….nice set of tire tracks that went up over the sidewalk and into the trees….I think that is the fourth or fifth time I’ve seen that…haven’t seen any deer with hunting season starting and that is a little weird…I always see them in the woods and I have even been looking for them….not much else to say right now…Michigan is stinking up the place again and I had to stop watching…but, I will try the Wings later even though they are crappy, too….

Well…it was another day yesterday but that was about it…I did win at pool accidentally so that was okay…but the rest of the day was as non-descript as all of the rest….and the Wings continue to lose so I think I may have to get out some gear for the next game…slept okay but I am still sore from riding into the wind this week…and, the pain has now moved up my back…no, it’s actually all over my right side…should take some ibuprofen before I get out on the bike…not much to do today…I am going to wait awhile to get out on the bike since I want to go out in shorts for the last time…or maybe tomorrow will be the last time…it is supposed to be in the 60’s tomorrow and that might mean shorts and t-shirt…that would be cool for the middle of November…I do need to clean today and do laundry but I think there will be no cooking today since I do want to get rid of the leftovers before Thursday….more later…

Well….it was just another day yesterday…just like all the rest…but, it’s not snowing so that is good…slept okay last night…no, that’s not true…slept like crap and feel it today so it looks like a low energy day for me…and I didn’t make the coffee strong enough so it is like drinking brown water….not a good way to start the day….I am still sore everywhere, too…and I am sure it is from going into the 25 mph wind yesterday….looks like it is only blowing around 10 this morning so it will be like a walk in the park…and, it is supposed to be 50 today so maybe top down on the way out to pool? That’s about all I have to do today…I should clean but I think I’ll save that for tomorrow and Sunday….I am still one behind for the month and I am going to try to keep from falling further behind…maybe even do a political one…who knows?

Well…it has been one of those days where I have been running late for everything that I was planning to do…didn’t plan much but I’m even late for this one….and I’m still not sure what the topic is going to be….politics seem like a re run with all of the same issues that have been going on for years it seems….and my personal life is probably one of the most boring there is in the entire US…so that is off the table….music? I did see a documentary on Pink Floyd that was pretty good…and the battery for the walkman didn’t come again today…so, I’m disappointed about that….still have the cold, so I’m disappointed about that, too….it is pretty depressing that it gets dark around 5:30….see…I can’t even think straight or write straight? It has just been one of those days and I really can’t wait for the day to be over and the night to start…at least then I can shut the brain off for a while…

Well…running late like a weekend day today for some reason…okay, the reason is that I did the grocery shopping for t-day this morning and that took a lot of time..did get a 12 pound turkey for about 8 bucks so that was cool…slept okay but started up witht he sleeping pills again since I am sore from tossing and turning…at least I think that may be it but it is possibly riding the bike yesterday into a wind that was over 20…didn’t get much else done and I hope to rectify that today…not sure what I am trying to get done but there must be something…I am still waiting for the battery to come for the walkman and it is starting to get irritating…and the site even sent me an e-mail asking for a review of the battery before I even got it…it’s been a week now and I hope it’s not much longer since the thing is basically useless now…oh, well….I do need to get the workout in and ride the bike so I’ll get going on that now…more later…

Well…running late again today but it is just a lack of motivation today, I think….slept okay but on my left arm so the tendonitis has flared to the point that I can barely move it…tried to pick up a glass of water and the pain is worse than it has been all year…I am getting really, really, tired of it and I’m not sure what to do about it…oh, well….I am going to get on the bike this aft since I feel so guilty after having taken the last two days off…one good thing is I woke up without the normal pain in my legs but I’d rather have the pain and not the guilt….I did get a few things done yesterday but there is much more to do…have to get the leaning tower of papers out to recycling and should clean the bathroom…the operative word there is should…not much to do today….should do some maint on the car since it is not raining or snowing…just need to check the coolant and oil before winter….I do need to do a few of these today since I am two down for the month already and that is nagging at me…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with the rain, I didn’t get to ride the bike…and when the rain changed over to snow in the aft, I just died a little…it is too early for that crap…I’m still in shorts after all…and, this morning, I had to use the hot water method to get the car doors open since the thing had frozen into a solid block of ice….just not ready for this…there is one weird thing about today….it is 11/12/13…just a little fact….slept like crap but still feel better than with the sleeping pills so I guess I’ll just have to live with it and go forward…there were some weird dreams with a kid I went to grade school in them…couldn’t remember his last name until right now….that is weird, too….not much to do today…I may take a second day off the bike since there will be ice on the trail and I’m not sure if I want to deal with that yet….I do have a few things to do around here so maybe that will keep me busy…

Oh, one last thing…happy birthday to Neil Young who turns 68 today….

Well…not sure where my head is at this morning..almost forgot to come here and do this after being over at Kos…it was an okay day yesterday but the bug is still here and I am getting really tired of it…I think I said that yesterday, too….didn’t get anything done at all but some laundry and that is contributing to the general malaise I’m feeling…just don’t want to do anything right now…maybe a workout will help? The Lions even won and that didn’t help….I did sleep okay last night so I feel somewhat okay today but, with it raining, I may not get on the bike today…and, since it is Veteran’s day, the battery for the walkman won’t be coming in the mail today…just another little disappointment in a sea of them…not much to do today…I do have to cook and I am going to try a new method for cooking pork loin….500 degrees preheat and then shut the oven off for an hour…weird…more later…
