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…

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…

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….

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…
