Well…I’m doing this one again…after I posted the last one, this one disappeared…it was an okay day yesterday…I did win at pool but like crap all day…and I am hoping it is a bug and not something serious…slept okay last night but was up really early so that is going to make for another long day…I think the clutch master cylinder is going in the car…the pedal keeps changing and it is getting really annoying so I may have some repairs to do later in the week….okay…that’s enough for now…need to watch the Wings…

Well…running late today and I think it’s because the malaise that has settled here is still here this morning…hard to get motivated to do anything, really….slept okay last night for the first time in a week but I know it was from the cocktails so I can’t really judge if it will be a pattern or not….but, I do feel crappy today and I’m not sure if the trade-off is worth it….I have been trying to eat enough but it has been harder than expected…I think I’ll have a bagel before the bike ride to try to see if the dead legs were from the lack of fuel…that said, I think I’ll go make one and have more coffee….more later…
Just can’t get motivated…
Well…have been sitting here thinking about some political stuff but just can’t get motivated to write about it…not sure if it is the no sleep, not eating right, or just general malaise, but I’m not sure what to do about it….so, I think I’ll just muse a little…the new trans oil is working out okay…much smoother shifts and I can get it into first gear at stoplights much easier….there is still something going on with one of my friends and I’m not sure what it is…or if I should care about it, really….consistent pattern but still irritating…at least today…this is the last day I’m going to think about it….did get a nice, long bike ride in today but the legs were dead the whole 15 miles and I think that points to not eating right….or enough….and, I have been good all week so that can’t be it….but, that ends tonight with it being a cocktail night…I do need a night of just pure relaxation to shut the brain off for a while….oh, one political thing…I just love the way that people are starting to push back on the right’s nonsense with the heads of the Benghazi commission being the latest to go after ole Issa…and the idea that he knows that these guys will crush him with the truth so he proposes that they be the only witnesses that testify in private? So he can manipulate what part of the truth gets out….what a maroon…geez…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and the Wings lost bad…and I really did not enjoy going out to watch them so I think that will be it for me….NBC is going to kill the league by putting all the games on channels that only a few get and I won’t pay more to see it…slept like crap and I am worn out today…didn’t do a whole lot yesterday and today looks about the same other than doing the grocery run this morning…and cleaning around here…I am going to try to cook something new today since I am so bored with pork loins and chops…maybe something bad for me….that tastes good….more later…
May 15th
Well…running really late today and, if you checked earlier, you could see why…the servers were crashed again this morning and my son just got it back up and running again…it was an okay day yesterday but I was just so worn out all day…I think from not eating enough and the lack of sleep….feel much better today and did a long bike ride to celebrate…I did get the new trans oil in the Miata yesterday but took about half the skin off my right forearm trying to get the fill plug out…ended up taking out the back up light switch and using that for a fill hole…looks like it worked since it took all 2 quarts and the trans has not fallen out after a drive…and the oil is pretty good, shifting slicker already and should get better…but, at 45 bucks for 2 quarts, it should cook me breakfast…I am starting to get excited about the Wings game tonight but will have to go out to watch it since I don’t get the damn NBC channel it’s on…keep this crap up and they are going to kill the NHL….might be okay to get out around people….more later…
May 14th
Well…running late again today and I do feel like crap from the damn allergies today and from not eating enough yesterday….I did get the chance to go out and meet up with C for a couple but that was really the extent of the day…slept like crap last night…not going down until 12:30 and the back up at 4:30….so that doesn’t help, either….I did get the car detailed yesterday but then it’s covered in pollen again today so what’s the point? I am going to go out and try to find the super gear lube from Ford to change the oil in the trans and it is going to hurt at 20 bucks a quart…or more…might even try to get it done today depending on how I feel later…but I still need to work out and ride so I should get to it…more later…
May 13th
Well…running really late for a Monday and I am going to blame it on the Wings…stayed up for the whole game and didn’t get to bed until around 1:30….and back up at 7:30 so I am tired today….slept okay but nowhere near enough with it being a cocktail night…oh, and the Wings won! So, we go on to Chicago wed….yesterday was just too long for me…didn’t get a nap either so I’m not sure how today is going to be…I do need to meet up with C later in the day and wash the car…okay…I do need to work out and get the bike ride in since I was lazy yesterday…more later…
The stealth bike returns…
Well…as you know, I’ve been chasing an annoying squeak in the bike for the past couple of weeks, culminating in me tearing the entire rear suspension off to clean it and re-lube it to try to get rid of the damn noise…it was so loud that people were turning to look from 50 yds away…so, after I took the entire back of the bike off and re-assembled it, I leaned on the seat and it was still there…damn…so then, I went at the front of the bike and tore that apart…and, eureka….I found the noise in the clamp that holds the handlebar on…so, I lubed it, put the whole thing back together and the stealth bike is back! Now, all I have to do is get a fiberglass kit to work on the seat post since I broke the JB weld today…oh, well…I do need something to do…
May 12th
Well…I was going to come back for another one yesterday, and after I just looked at yesterday’s life post I kind of cringed a little that it was another lazy one…I did have a nice day yesterday and made a little money so that was cool…and I met up with K for a couple and it was nice to catch up…and, it was a cocktail night so I should feel worse than I do…it may be that I don’t really have anything to do today and that’s the plan…to do nothing…well…I do have to clean up after the bike teardown since I have been chasing grease spots all over the place and I am getting tired of it….I do have some pork chops to grill today and then there are the Wings at ten so that will mean a nap at some point…did sleep okay, I think, but no dreams again so what’s the point? I think I’m going to go toast a bagel with cream cheese and smoked fish since I didn’t eat much yesterday and I can afford the calories…more later…
May 11th
Well…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d get to this one….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good…and the Wings won in OT to take the series to a game 7 Sunday night and I am excited about that…slept okay and just couldn’t get out of bed this morning..but I did and have already been to Meijers to get food for the next couple of days and now I hear that the coffee is done so I am going to go read the papers and have many, many cups….
