Well…it was a long day yesterday and I spent almost 3 hours trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…tore the entire back suspension off and found that the rear shock isn’t one anymore and that means I have to find a replacement…after all that, I found that the squeak was in the front handlebar clamp…I hope, but it’s been raining so I won’t get to test it today….I did smoke some chicken and fish on the grill and they came out okay…need to refine the process some but I think it will work…and, I have to remember to close the slider while I’m doing it…this place smells like smoke today and I won’t be able to air it out…I did sleep okay but still feel kind of crappy from the allergies…I am kind of glad that it is raining to clean the pollen off the car….not much to do today….supposed to meet up with T this morning for bloody marys and brunch and then out for pool later but that is about it…oh, the Wings play tonight in a do or die game so that will be nerve wracking….more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I fell asleep on the couch watching the Wings which is responsible for the soreness I feel this morning….slept okay but, with the deficit from yesterday, I still feel like I’m in a fog….but, I guess I’ll get over it…woke up this morning to the car being coated with so much pollen that I had to run the washers to see…need to take a photo of it…the entire car is a kind of yellow/blue and looks like I have been driving on dirt roads without a wash for a month…not going to wash it, though, since it is going to rain later today…I am going to smoke some fish and chicken on the grill today and I am excited about it…but, to get that done, I need to get the workout and bike ride in….more later…

Well…not going to go into it much but I was right in the post yesterday that I removed….things end.

But, I have some rainbow trout and chicken in the brine to try to smoke tomorrow for the first time on the new grill…going to use cherry wood chips but probably should have used apple…but, who knows? I guess I need to start trying a few things and see which one works the best for the mood of the day…I may even have to have a beer while I’m cooking which I never do during the day…still am trying to get the damn squeak out of the bike…driving me frickin crazy…. but we’ll see again tomorrow…I am looking forward to the Wings game later but I still need to nap so I can at least get through the first perlod….

Well….it was a day yesterday and I really didn’t do much…had to work on the bike to try to get the annoying squeak out of the seat post and hopefully that will be fixed when I take it out this morning….I do like the new handgrips…way less pain and numbness in my hands when I get done and they are very comfortable….I did sleep pretty crappy last night but there was a dream that I had to wake up from since there was not going to be a good outcome….and I will have to get a nap in today since the Wings game doesn’t start until 10 and I would like to see some of it….I did get a bunch of paperwork out to a recruiter but don’t really expect to have anything come from it….I do need to make the grocery run today since I am out of food and then run a few more errands….going to try to smoke some fish tomorrow and need the wood chips etc for it….more later….

Well…running really late today and I have a reason today…had a bunch of forms to fill out for a recruiter that may be finding me a job so I guess that is a good use for the time…I di have a good day yesterday with getting this place cleaned up and then having my son come over to watch the Wings game…that we won in overtime…yay! I was good last night but stayed up really late since the game went late and then I couldn’t sleep. There were dreams of the Miata not starting and I do need to stop reading the forums out there…I do think I need to bleed the clutch with that one incidence of the pedal going to the floor and check for leaks although the cylinder is full…I am getting excited about trying out my new handgrips on the bike so I’m going to go do that now…more later…

Oh, good luck on the interview, Tom!

Well…have been working around here all day to make the place presentable since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings…and, the place really did need it so that’s okay….I did do a little work on the bike today…just got so tired of the grips being worn out and turning to jelly and having to keep pushing them back on all the time that I bought a new set today…a really cool set of gels that are supposedly ergonomically correct….put them on and they look pretty cool…and the neat thing was that Meijers had the ones that I have been looking at online and for the same price…so, we’ll see how they work when I get the ride in tomorrow….and, I bought some white lithium grease to see if that will help me get rid of the squeak in the seat post…that is annoying as hell….we’ll see….

Well…it was a day yesterday and I was completely lazy so I didn’t come back for another one and now I’m feeling guilty about that…and I have to clean this place up since my son and his girlfriend are coming over to watch the Wings game tonight and that should take all day….slept okay last night but the temp in here was marginal since I forgot to put the heat back on….probably should go out and get some snacks and beer for tonight but I need to work out first and get the bike ride in…so I probably should get to it…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday but I had some money come in so that perked me up a bit…it was a cocktail night that got out of hand so I feel a little crappy today…nope, a lot crappy so this one is going to be short for now….I do need to get out on the bike before Man U comes on at 10 but I just can’t get to enthused about it…slept okay but no dreams…okay…not feeling it….back later for more…

Okay…have started to feel normal for me so I thought I’d come back for a little more…there was a weird thing that happened this morning leaving for the ride…there was a stupid duck just standing in the middle of the road quacking at me, cars, and anything else that went by…kind of strange…I did get the ride in and felt much better afterward…and I made lunch and now the napcar race is on and that appears to be my only ambition for today..I do have an idea for another one so I may come back for it later…

Well..as you can see…I didn’t come back for a second one yesterday…the brain just has not been working well enough to be able to write something that is up to the quality that I want…so, I didn’t do it…it was an okay day yesterday but this morning the clutch pedal started to do weird things and I think the cylinders may need to be replaced…hope not…worked okay coming back from Meijers but it got really soft pulling into the parking lot…just don’t want to work on it…slept okay last night but I am still a little worn out from the bug….I’m sure it’s not from the cocktail night last night…it is going to be a busy day today with races, the Kentucky Derby, the Wings and Dr. Who….yep a total slackers day so I do need to get out on the bike so the guilt is not overwhelming….more later…
