April 13th

Well…running late but it’s Saturday so who cares? I was an okay day yesterday and I had the top down on the way out to shoot pool…and I won so that was okay, too…but the way back was top up with it raining so much…just saw in the paper that we got the normal average for the entire month of April last week…no wonder I feel like all it does is rain…and then, getting up this morning to snow on the car again is almost too much…slept kinda last night…but was up at 5:40 and that is getting really old…so it looks like it will be a take it easy day today with just cleaning and cooking…broke down and bought some burger since the grill is working so well….it looks like cheeseburgers for lunch…not much else to do today…just going to screw around here and write a little….more later…

April 12th

Well…it was a long day yesterday but the weird thing is I didn’t get anything done…no, that’s not true…I did get the trunk of the car cleaned up and painted the brackets that hold the battery down along with repairing the vent tube that had split…slept like crap and I was really hoping that the cocktails would make it better…no luck…I am getting really tired of the fact that there has been no spring so far…it was just damn cold working on the car yesterday…not much to do today..was supposed to have lunch with T but that got canceled so it will be just pool today…and that’s okay, really…more later…

April 11th

Well…it was another day yesterday and I had fun going out to have a couple with G but have to stop that since I’m broke again…slept okay last night but had weird dreams that I don’t really remember already…probably should have done this about 20 minutes ago so I would have remembered it…oh, well…feel okay this morning but I am just tired of waiting for spring to come…haven’t even been able to get motivated to go out on the bike since I don’t want to go back to thermasuit and gloves…but, it looks like I’ll have to today…have been getting into the curling world championships and Canada is playing Scotland right now which is kind of cool….not much to do today…do need to do the grocery run and get some baking soda since the trunk has a little rust from the battery and I need to get that taken care of before it gets past the surface rust….will have to wait until it gets warmer to paint but at least I can neutralize the acid…more later…

April 10th

Well….I need this rain to end…I am getting cranky just sitting here after working out and not being able to ride the bike…and, where the heck is spring? It is supposed to snow again later this week and I am tired of it…oh, well…not much I can do about it…it was an okay day yesterday but I just couldn’t get motivated to cook anything so I am feeling the effects today…it’s nice to be losing the winter weight but I have no energy and that is really a pain…I do have to try to get some things done around here today but the gloom is draining all of my motivation…maybe I’ll feel like it later…and I will get to another one today…just need to think about what it could be…

April 9th

Well…running late again today and I blame it on basketball…and I am a little disappointed that Michigan lost…and I do feel a little crappy after the g and t’s but I knew that was going to happen so I’m not surprised….it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much…skipped the bike ride even since the wind was blowing almost 40 at times and that is just too much…have to stop being so lazy and get some stuff done around here today…the leaning tower of papers is looking quite ominous reaching over my head as it does….so that will be one thing I will get done today….I did get out to Target to buy some new t-shirts that I desperately needed…and got 5 of them for 20 bucks…100% cotton Champions so that was pretty cool…not much to do today…if it ever warms up, I will get a bike ride in later…but that is about it…more later…

April 8th

Well…running late again today but this time it is entirely by plan…had to run some errands this morning and then wanted a leisurely coffee and papers and that takes time….I think I slept okay last night but up at 5:30 or so so that only makes about 6 hours…feel okay, though, even with it being a cocktail night…had to have a cocktail with “Mad Men” after all….it looks like kind of a busy day today with needing to get the workout in right now…then Man U plays City this aft…out for a couple with G, and the Michigan in the championship game later….and I do need to do another of these today since I was lazy over the weekend and only did two…so, I need to get going…more later…

April 7th

Well…it was a long day yesterday with staying up to watch Michigan win and go to the championship game Monday night…and of course, it was a cocktail night so that doesn’t help….but, I don’t feel that crappy, just tired and I hope the coffee will take care of that…slept okay but tossed and turned as always and I think that doesn’t help either….might have to skip the bike ride today with the wind blowing over 20…it’s just not a lot of fun with it being cold, too…I do need to get the slow cooker loaded to make another batch of chicken stew but just can’t get motivated right now…and I am going to grill the last two chops for lunch so I think I’ll just wait until later to do that….not much to do today…sports and cooking is about it….more later…

April 6th

Well…as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one yesterday since I just couldn’t work up the outrage to put together a good one…and, as always, I’m running late today for no reason other than I wanted to read the papers and have my coffee first….it was a nice day with putting the top down out and back to shoot pool…and winning the week…slept okay last night but the dreams didn’t come and the is becoming the new normal…skipped riding the bike since I didn’t want to go back to the full thermasuit after being out in shorts Thursday and it looks like I’ll wait for it to warm up enough for shorts today….if it doesn’t rain, that is…I do have to get some stuff cleaned up around here today and I am going to grill some pork loin chops that I have in the brine…have used the grill every day since I got it up and running and that is pretty cool…bad for me, but cool…not much to do today…Michigan plays tonight in the final four and I am really looking forward to it even if they lose, it has been a great season….have to find my gear and wear it all day…after the bike ride that is….

April 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but with it being a cocktail night, I feel like crap this morning….at least it’s above freezing so I don’t have to melt the car down….woke up to grease spots all over the kitchen floor so I must have found more of the grease that fell off the bike when I was working on it…what a pain having to clean it up….not much to do today…I do have to get this place cleaned up but right now I need to go back to the couch for some water….

Okay…it’s been a couple of hours and I feel so much better that I thought I’d come back for a little more…have even gotten a bunch of stuff done already and that might be part of it…I was going to go out on the bike early but I forgot about that plan and put the thermasuit in the washer so I guess I’ll have to wait…want to go in shorts anyway….and my back is giving me fits again so I have to wait for the painkillers to kick in anyway…I am so happy the bike is working well…probably better than new in how it shifts and I already have 150 miles in towards the goal of 3,000 for the year….that’s enough for now…more later…

April 4th

Well….the site was down again this morning…J said they had to reboot a node that had gone down but I’m back so that’s okay…it was an okay day yesterday with finding out the pulling to the right the car had was the tire being low on air…drives like new now and that is just so cool that my mistake didn’t hurt it….and I made the first burger on the grill and it is so nice to not have to bend over to cook on the little camp stove I have been using…and the venison burger with chopped bacon was just yummy…I did have some dreams last night but they were like a low rent version of “Justified” with lots of killing and bad guys but just to have one was nice…I do have a bunch to do today…I need to get the car cleaned up with doing the interior and waxing it and the trash has been piling up so that needs to be done, too….but, right now, I am going to read the papers and have coffee…
