August 12th

Well…running really late today since I decided to get out on the bike first…and it was a good idea…I’m feeling so much better after sweating out the toxins…it was another bore of a day yesterday with nothing but races and Olympics and I am getting really tired of it…but, what can you do? I did see a kite eating tree up in the park today that made me laugh but there was little else on the trail of note so I won’t note it….and, on that note, I am going to read the online papers and have my last cup of coffee…more later…

August 10th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and with going out to shoot pool and then cocktails here, I feel like crap today…so bad that I am going to skip going out for the papers today and just stay here and lick the wounds while I drink a lot of water and hit the couch….so, on that note, I am going to stop here and come back later for more…

Okay, I’m back and feeling a little better so I thought I’d add a little to this one…it has been raining all day and it looks like it is going to continue into tomorrow so I gave myself the day off from riding the bike but that has made the recovery go slower than I had hoped…I did lose at pool yesterday and that was okay…I can’t remember a run of winning that was this long but I think I used up my Keno luck on all of those wins…so, maybe I should go out and buy a ticket….I am going to try to get a political one out later in the day but, with not going out to read the papers, I don’t have as much to choose from…I have read the normal papers on my phone but it just isn’t the same…more later..

August 9th

Well….it was another day yesterday and that makes it 4 days in a row of being good which is not such an accomplishment when you think about it…but, it does make me feel better so that is something…even slept okay last night so I feel like I have some energy today….no dreams to speak of but that’s okay….I am starting to get tired of the Olympics..all of the events seem to run together and the reactions to winning all seem to be the same…crying, flags, and other nonsense…I guess I’m going into overload but there is the women’s gold medal game in soccer that I do have to watch…but I’ll have to go out to see it…not sure about hitting a bar in the middle of the afternoon but I guess I can suck it up….other than that, not much to do today…the grocery run, of course….but it looks like it may rain and I might have the day off from riding….hope not….more later…

August 8th

Well…it was just another day yesterday but I was good last night so I feel okay today….another night of crappy sleep is leaving me worn out again today but I guess I’ll survive it….there was one cool thing that happened, though, they landed a Blackhawk helicopter at the Peppino’s right near hear and it was pretty loud…watched it take off, too,….was surprised at how big it was….and what poor shape it was in…looked pretty beat up with chipped paint and oil streaks….and the army folks with it looked like they were 12 or so….I must really be getting old….not much to do today….no, really, not much to do today…so it looks like the normal stuff and trying to avoid the boredom that has been rampant lately…even getting bored with the Olympics…I am really glad that gymnastics is over…the screeching of the cheers from the youngsters was getting on my nerves….more later…

August 7th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I had some fun with meeting up with G for a couple but that was about all I did….I did get the car cleaned up and it was fun driving home in the dark last night with the top down…had to put he heat on but it was still fun…I like the old school green lighting of the instruments and the weird pop-up headlights…kinda cool…no sleep again last night and I am exhausted again today…don’t have much to do so that shouldn’t be a problem….okay…not feeling it again so I’ll come back later to add to this one…and there just has to be something going on in politics that I can comment on that is not Mitt…

August 6th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I am feeling it this morning…so, I’m running late and that’s my excuse so this one will be short for now….I did sleep okay, I think, and the weather has finally gotten cooler so that is something…I did win at pool, too, but it was a hard fought match and that was fun….I do need to go out today and get some soy sauce…okay…I’m leaving now and will be back later for more…

Okay, I’m back after getting the bike ride in and washing the car…now I have to still do the glass and interior so I should get to it…the bike ride was a nice one today with the temp and humidity both down…and the bike is almost as good as it has been all year so that made it even better…it looks like I’ll be out for a while later for a couple with G so that will give me something to look forward to…okay….need to finish the car before I come back here to read more news and get another one out…

August 5th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t do much but watch the Olympics and sweat with another over 90 day…but, there is no global warming…to quote George Will “it’s summer!” and that’s the reason that most of the country is baking and in drought. Okay, not supposed to talk politics here…I do need to accomplish something today…but, what that is, I don’t know…I am getting ready to get out on the bike and it appears to be a cooler, glorious morning out there so I should get going…not much to do today…pool with Tom but that is about it…I will try to come back for another but I am caught up and it is Sunday, after all…

August 4th

Well…I am running late today but I guess it’s not really late since it’s Saturday…it was a good day yesterday with lunch with T and the laughs that come with it and then back to the Olympic overload that I have been suffering the past few days…but it is fun to see all of the sports that just never get on tv anymore. Slept okay last night but I am getting tired of the heat again but it looks like a change is going to happen tomorrow so that is something to look forward to….it is one of those rare, no wind days today so I need to get out on the bike right now…will be back on an hour or so…

August 3rd

Well….it was a day yesterday and a cocktail night so I’m running a little late and slow today…they dis shut the air off upstairs yesterday so I had a night with no earplugs and that was good….I do feel a little crappy this morning but I may have something to look forward to with lunch with T possible…okay, going back to the couch to watch a show..back later for more…

August 2nd

Well…it was a long day yesterday waiting for the maint guy to come and he never did so I am a little irritated about that…so, that meant another night of fitful sleep with getting up at 4:30…so I am worn out today and will need to take a nap later..or not…almost the same thing happened yesterday and there was no nap but I still stayed up until after midnight. What the heck does that mean? Nothing, really,…I did get this place cleaned up waiting for the guy so that was a plus…but it does disrupt my day and I didn’t get a bike ride in so that is making me a little cranky…and I do need to do the grocery run today and that is going to happen early so I can come back here and wait some more….not a good outlook for the day but you have to do what you have to do…more later…
