July 4th

Well…it seems that I am running late all the time these days…and it is happening again today…plus, I really don’t have much to say right now feeling as I do..which is kind of crappy…I do need to go to Meijers right now so I’ll come back later to continue…okay…just got back…that’s not true…been back for a while and have had my coffee and the newspapers and I think my brain is working again…have been sitting here trying to decide whether to work out or not…or what to do today…I may just make it a lazy day and do nothing but then I’d feel guilty and that would probably last until the weekend so I probably shouldn’t…I do have another one today about our governor here in Michigan and the surprise vetos issued yesterday..but, that one is for politics, not here…that’s enough for now..it is already over 85 degrees and heading for 95 today so I will have to figure out how to stay cool…or not, who knows?

July 3rd

Well…running late again today and again, I’m not sure why…it was an okay day yesterday and I did have a little fun meeting up with G for a couple..and the ride home at 11 with the top down was fun…that’s what having a convertible is all about…but, my allergies are in full kill mode this morning and I think it will be a day to take something for it…I’m pretty sure I don’t like all these 90+ degree days and I can’t remember the last time it was so warm for so long…looks like a couple of days of 100’s even this week…not sure why I feel so crappy today…must be the allergies…I do need to get ready to go out for coffee….not much to do today….it is pool day and Tom is going to try to weld the bike….I may have to start looking for an new one if this doesn’t work….

Just a weird little thing…

Well….as you know, I broke the bike last week and have been waiting for it to be welded…so, today I talk to the guy and he promises that he’ll do it today but raises his price for making 2 inches of welds to 75 bucks from the 25 bucks he quoted…so, after talking to Tom and having him offer to weld it, I went and picked the bike up since I wasn’t going to pay 75 bucks for a 10 minute job….after I got back here, the idiot from the welding shop called me and started bitching at me and told me he was the only one if GR that could do the weld and WHEN I brought it back to him the price would be double to 150 bucks…and, of course, I told him I would junk the bike before I’d ever let him touch it….what an ass….but, that was the only thing that has happened to me today…

July 2nd

Well…running late today and there really is no reason for it…been up since 6 or so but just couldn’t get motivated to do this until now…and I still don’t feel that good…stayed up until 1 and back up at 6; just not enough sleep but that can be rectified later today…have to go pick the bike up even though it’s not done…and then find someone that will really work on it…but, I am going to go get coffee first…not much else to do today…it is going to be hot all week but I’m not sure if I’m going back to the beach or not…we’ll see…more later…

July 1st

Well…running late this morning since I wanted to get the car washed early…and I did so that is one thing off my list for the day…it was a total veg day yesterday and T thought I should be cauliflower so I was…I did have some errands to run and it was nice to get out and talk to people for a change…slept okay but don’t really remember how well so I’m not going to comment on it…not much to do today…I am looking forward to the Spain/Italy soccer match later this aft and there is a 6 hour race on that I may watch part of…but that is about it…I should clean my kitchen later but I am just not motivated to do it right now…I am going to take a shower and then take it easy for a while….

June 30th

Well…it was just another day yesterday…just like all the rest and it is getting old….but, what’s the alternative? Slept okay last night but no dreams to speak of so that’s boring, too…okay…this isn’t working right now so I’m going to stop here…need to take a shower and go out for the papers and then back here for coffee…

Okay…I’m back and feeling better after coffee but the brain still is not working as I think it should…or maybe my life has just become so boring that even I’m not interested….not sure what I’m going to do today…it’s going to be hot again but I don’t mind it too much even without the air on…I do have an errand to run this morning but that’s about it…and I do have to do one more to make the goal so I do have that to look forward to…and they are capping my internet usage starting tomorrow so I’m listening to Pandora and watching Netflix all day today to get my money’s worth….then, I may just cancel Netflix since I’m not going to pay more to the cable company just to watch….more later…

You know what this one’s about…

Well…just poured a cocktail and thought I’d sit down to do another one before the race starts…and you know what this one’s about….just trying to make the goal for the month but I do have some things to share…I haven’t said anything about the bike lately but I broke it the other day…the tube that the seat post fits in shattered and I had to drop it off at a welding shop to see if I can get it repaired…still waiting for them to finish it but if they don’t get to it soon I’m going to try another place…I did find a new seat post today so I’ll be ready when the bike is….but, I do miss the exercise and I have had to cut my calorie intake back by almost 600…and, in a 1,500 calorie diet, that doesn’t leave much for the day and I think that is going to leave me feeling like crap for a while…but, that is doable and the car is okay so I guess things could be worse…and, after this one, I only have two to do tomorrow…there are some things I do want to comment on so I guess I should get at it….tomorrow, that is…right now it’s time to just relax for a while and watch the race…

June 29th

Well….it was a long day yesterday…I guess I say that every day…but the days just seem so long…and I do feel a little crappy today with breaking the bike a couple of days ago…I guess I could get the old Schwinn up and running again but I just don’t feel like it…I hope to get it back from the welder today but I do need to find a new seat post…why is is so hard to find parts in GR? I think I’ll kind of lay low today…the car was acting up a little yesterday but I think I figured it out…at least I hope I have….I do have to go over to Meijers today so I think I’ll look for a post there….maybe check out some bike shops later…but, right now I think I’ll drink more water and hit the couch…

Just an update…

Well…as you can see from the count, I am running out of time to get caught up for this month so I guess I’ll have to cheat a little and write another one on what has been going on…I did go to the beach today and got a little color…but the car ran a little hot and I am concerned that I shouldn’t have had the radiator flushed…the tube to the overflow tank was loose so it may have not had the suction to keep the radiator filled…and it was down a little when it cooled off so I think that may be it…the last car did the same thing so I’m hoping that I’ve figured it out…I did get some color but one thing I am a little confused about is why people with children, who have the whole beach to choose from, always have to set up right next to me and then scream at the top of their voices for hours? I don’t know if I’m getting more sensitive to this kind of stuff but I find myself annoyed when I’m around kids…that’s about it…. I won’t be back for another….but three tomorrow…

June 28th

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I feel pretty crappy today…and I broke the bike which has me depressed, too, but the shortness of this one is more related to to feeling crappy than anything else…I am thinking about going to GH this morning to sit on the beach for a while but I’m not sure I want to feeling this bad….more later after I can get moving and thinking…
