Just some stuff…

Well…haven’t been able to work up the necessary outrage to do a political one today but I do have a couple of things that I might be able to weave into something…first, got a picture from my youngest son last night after he asked his girlfriend to marry him…yeah, kind of a surprise to me but I really like her and and I guess he does, too…they did buy a house together after all so I guess this is the logical next step…the second thing is just a little bit of trail weirdness that I saw yesterday…when coming through the woods on the trail, I came into a clearing to find a male turkey in full mating mode trying to woo a couple of females that were there with him….and it made me think of the James Gang song Ashton Park….also known as the turkey song..at least that’s what I call it…the song always makes me think of turkeys dancing…okay…that’s it for now…going to meet up with K in a while for drinks and I should eat something first….

June 15th

Well…yeah, I know…didn’t come back for another one yesterday…just couldn’t think of anything to say so I didn’t say it…sitting here waiting for the coffee to finish and thought I’d get this one done….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…but the rest of the day was just like every other one…and the Griffins lost last night so there will be a game 5 tonight I think…slept okay but it was from cocktails so that’s not saying much…not much to do today…it looks like the bike ride may be rained out since I am going to read the papers first and a huge blob of rain is coming in from the west…so, maybe a rest day…more later…

June 14th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the planned meet up with everyone didn’t happen…so that made it a little boring but I survived it…slept okay but still feel a little worn out today..it was a cocktail night, after all, so that is the reason…and I am still having trouble taking in enough calories for doing 15 miles on the bike…it is weird to think of food as just fuel…takes the enjoyment out of eating but nothing really tastes good anymore so that is part of it too…I do like Fridays, though, since I am done with working out for the week and all I have to do is ride the bike…it was kind of fun yesterday riding through the flood in the park but that screwed up the shifter that i hope I have fixed with lubing it up….I was just coated with mud when I got back here but it felt kind of good to be able to do that at my age….not much to do today…pool day, of course, and the Griffins can win the Calder cup if they win tonight….more later…

June 13th

Well…running really late today and there are many, many reasons for it but none that you’d be interested in…it was an okay day yesterday but the highlight never happened…tried to get to downtown to see Tommy Castro but the traffic was backed up almost to here and it took me almost 45 minutes to go 3 miles so I turned around and just came home to watch the Griffins game instead…had those weird eye distortions again yesterday like the ones that come before a migraine and that was a little concerning…but they went away after 20 mins so I guess there is not much to worry about….I did get the squeak out of the bike for one trip and I am hoping for today, too, but I need to work out and get to it so I’ll end here…oh, might meet up with C for a couple later today but that is about it…more later…

June 12th

Well…it was kind of a long day yesterday with going out for a couple with G and then staying up late to see the US win it’s soccer match with Panama…so, I’m a little worn out today and running late…slept okay but no dreams again and that is starting to be the norm so I guess I won’t comment on it anymore…I did tear the bike down again yesterday since the squeak is back and I may have fixed it…but, who knows until I get out and ride but that may not happen today with it raining already and a huge storm coming in from the west…and, that may cancel Tommy Castro for tonight which would be somewhat of a disappointment…I may just go downtown anyway if it’s not raining too hard…not much to do today….almost out of food but I have enough for today so I don’t need to go for groceries until tomorrow…so, I guess I’ll get the workout in and then take a look at the radar….more later…

June 11th

Well…it was just another day yesterday and I didn’t get much done…I did fix my golf bag and got the paint to do the spare tire and the brackets for the battery but it was wet and raining yesterday and that is not good for paint so I think I’ll wait for a dry day to do that stuff…slept okay last night and I feel okay with it being a no cocktail night…dreamt of oil leaks in the Miata but they are not real so I’m not sure what that was about….I did take a drive just for the hell of it and to get out of here and that was fun…might be meeting up with T today to have a couple and that will be cool but that looks like my whole day…nothing much else to do and I am getting really, really bored…but I guess I’ll just have to live with it…more later…

June 10th

Well…it was an okay night last night and I did get to watch the Griffins win the second game of the playoffs…but, that means that they are back in town for a wed game and that is going to make parking for Tommy Castro a real pain….but, I think I’ll still go…just need to park across town and do a little walking…slept okay last night but I’m still worn out today…allergies are still here but not getting worse so that is something….and, I was kind of good last night so that helps…not much to do today…I do need to go out and get some black paint to do some touch up on the battery hold downs in the trunk and the spare tire….but that is about it….more later…

No politcal one today…

Well…have been thinking about something political to write about today and have come up empty so I think I’ll just do an update and call it good…I did take a bike ride with my brother today and it was fun…but the damn squeak is back an more annoying than ever…so, I went out and got some wheel bearing grease and took the bike back apart to grease everything…again…and it sounds like it is fixed again but I am going to hold my breath again…after all, I did get a few quiet days out of the lithium stuff… not sure what I can do if it does it again….other than be annoyed…and, I made a little money this aft so that was cool, too…can buy groceries again this week! I am still pretty sore from hitting that bucket of balls Friday and my damn golf bag broke so I need to go find some zip ties to see if I can fix it….the duct tape didn’t work…oh, well…it looks like an easy fix and I will get on that tomorrow….

June 9th

Well…running a little late today but that is normal for Sunday…had an okay day yesterday and did get dome cleaning done so I feel okay about that…slept okay but no dreams again…crap….I am really sore this morning from hitting the golf balls Friday but that should go away after the ibuprofen and the bike ride…my brother is coming over to ride in a few minutes so this one is going to be short since I have to work on the bike before we go…the damn squeak is coming back again and I’m not sure where to look next…more later…
