Well…as you can see, I’m still trying to get caught up for the month so I am going to cheat a little….just got back from the ride and found a really cool new trail…or I should say they just finished the trail so I took it just to see where it goes…it starts out as just a trail but then about 100 yards in it turns into an elevated boardwalk that goes for almost half a mile…just couldn’t believe that Kentwood would put that much money into a trail…but, it shortens up my ride by about a mile so I won’t be taking it too much….still pretty cool….more later…

September 29th
Well…it was a normal, boring day yesterday but the pork shoulder came out good so that is something…slept okay but still feel like crap today with a good sized headache that has to be caused by allergies…forgot to get allergy medicine yesterday so I’ll have to see if there is any here….I am looking forward to “Breaking Bad” tonight and that will be the focus of the day for me…after football and the races, that is….don’t have lot more to say right now…so, I won’t say it….more later…
Predators on the trail…
Well…almost forgot this one from the trail this morning…when I was on the last uphill to the park where I take my last break every day, there was just the strangest sight…a rabbit, or half a rabbit was laying in the middle of the trail…it looked like it had just been sliced in half with a knife and the front was gone…and the weirder thing is that about 50 yards up the hill, there was another one…just like the first one…the front gone and the back essentially intact. Now, I am really curious about what could do that around here…could be a dog but why just the front gone? Maybe alien dissection? Coyote? It will be a puzzle for a while anyway….
Oh, one last thing…just an observation…why would anyone put custom wheels on a Prius? Saw one in the parking lot of the trail in Kentwood today…just not right…..
September 28th
Well…running kind of late today but I did have to go out for groceries…just couldn’t pass up pork shoulder at 99 cents a pound and needed cocktail materials for “Breaking Bad” tomorrow night….making an 8 pound shoulder right now and can’t wait…it is going to be a little boring today with both Michigan and State on a bye week and no soccer that I can get…there may be a race to watch later, though…I’ll have to take a look…slept okay last night, I think, but I am still tired today so it must not have been that good…oh, well…it does look nice outside and it will be a long ride day with no wind to work against…other than that, not much to do today…I should clean and I might…I did get new wipers for the car and need to put those on since the ones on it just don’t work anymore…more later…
September 27th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and i was busy all morning and into the afternoon so the boredom was kept somewhat at bay….got the car cleaned and waxed and I can see out of the glass again…slept okay but feel kind of crappy this morning with going out to have a couple with G and then cocktails after I got back here…but, I think it is more the allergies since I have had this low grade headache for a couple of weeks now…and they are going to get worse with the ride this morning…but, still no medication so far and I feel good about that…but, I may pick some up tomorrow to keep from coughing so much…not much to do today..pool, since it is Friday but that is about it…I do have to move the car at some point since they are going to repaint the lines on the lot here but I am hoping that will get done while I’m gone this aft…more later…
September 26th
Well…it has been an interesting morning and that is why I’m running late today…had to go to the bank to figure out why my debit card had stopped working…one of the places I used it had a data breach that could have emptied my account…but the bank canceled the card so they couldn’t steal…already have a new one and have it activated so things are back to normal…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much but send resumes….and today looks the same although I have already done the grocery run and I need to work out, get the bike ride in, and wash the car….so the aft will be busy…might have a couple with G later but I’m not sure about that…have been good most of the week so I can cut loose a little today….and I will be back later for three to get caught up…need to think out of the box a little for topics since I think I’ve beaten the normal ones to death….more later…
Suicide squirrels…again…
Okay…not sure what is going on but today, I had another bout with the suicide squirrels on the trail that was just like the one in the spring…must have had fifty of them run out in front of me with some of them doing the double…going across, then slamming on the brakes and running back again…not sure what the connection would be to spring but it has been weird to say the least….at least the bike worked well and I didn’t have to make any fine adjustments to the shifter after the cable replacement…might have to lube it, though, since it does hang just a bit…I will have to adjust it in a while to allow for the natural stretching that happens after I use it for a while…and, yes, this one was cheating a little but I am so far behind, I am starting to get concerned…
September 25th
Well…it was a nice day yesterday even with breaking the shift cable on the bike…and the idea that this time they only charged me three bucks for a new one versus 12 bucks last time…bitched about that but didn’t have the receipt…oh, well…had a lot of fun with T last night going to the MM alumni meet and greet over at Aquinas…spent most of the time talking to the president of the College and that was fun…and free beer helped…even wore my suit and looked pretty sharp…and, I skipped cocktails after I got home so I feel okay today….that’s twice with T this week and that made me smile….slept pretty crappy, though, so I think that will have to be remedied with a nap this aft…but, I do have lots to do today so that might not happen….not much to do today…have to clean this place up and then get on the bike to do the adjustments to the new cable but that is about it…I will get caught up today since I am three down for the month….nope…five down for the month…need to get in gear…
September 24th
Well…running really late this morning and there is no reason for it…just took a lazy time reading the papers since I do have to wait a while to get out on the bike…too darn cold right now…it was a nice day yesterday with lunch with T and then a veg out for the rest of the day…even skipped the bike ride to let the legs heal a little but that won’t happen again today…I do have an event tonight at Aquinas for the alumni of the MM program…T was nice enough to sign us both up and it will be a good networking opportunity…plus it will be easier with at least one person that I know…not much to do today…other than the event…did have to take the suit out again and let it air out since I haven’t worn it since last year and find a shirt to wear…but no tie..just can’t get to that point yet….more later…
September 23rd
Well…..it was an okay day yesterday but the anticipated episode of “Breaking Bad” was not as good as last weeks…kind of disappointed…slept okay I think but should have put the heat on…it was cold in here this morning…and still is but I just can’t bring myself to turning the heat on…something about the passing of the seasons that I just hate more and more as I get older…but there was a good Lions game that made me smile and a nice long conversation by text with T that did the same…I’m sitting here now debating with myself whether or not to work out and ride this morning…just don’t want to get the gloves out yet…not much to do today…may have lunch with T but that is about it….more later…
