Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did accomplish a few things…you know about the car already so I won’t mention that again and I did sleep okay last night….no dreams to speak of so I won’t…and I do feel good today…so far…with being good for three days in a row…that string will be broken today since it is pool day and that means at least a few cocktails but I am going to be good today since I want to go to the beach tomorrow morning and get some swimming in….I am doing the grocery run today so I can get out the door by 8:30 tomorrow morning….it is supposed to be 97 degrees tomorrow and that is perfect to be at the beach…it will be good to start to get the color evened out and it would be cool if there are some waves….but, that is tomorrow…I will try to come back today for another one or two since the end of the month is coming up fast…

How about a part two….
Well..it has been another day and I did take the car in to have the coolant changed but it took longer and cost more that I expected by about 40 bucks since it was so bad…they had to run the flush 4 times to get the brown goo that was in the radiator and everything else out…and it took almost 2 1/2 hours for them to finish it…one good thing..it was so bad that they said to bring it back in 5000 miles so they can flush it again at no charge…so, I guess the waiting and the cost was worth it…I had never seen coolant so bad and it needed to be done so no damage was done to the car…they found what they thought were bb’s in the flush but I think they were the remnants of a water pump that went bad…probably the bearings that failed…it should help it cope when it gets to almost 100 thursday…
June 26th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t really accomplish much…I did have weird dreams that included the end of the world and warring factions that were trying to carve out their niches…and I seem to remember food shortages and a seaside resort that was the main area of interest…it seems like it was a long one, too, but I’m already losing it so maybe not….I did sleep okay and feel pretty good this morning with it being a no cocktail night..I think I’m going to do that for the rest of the week and cut down on the calories…I think I may be sensitive to the new sunscreen since I’m broken out where I use it…oh, well…I do have something to do today…was checking out the car yesterday and found that it really needs to have the coolant changed…I don’t think I’ve ever seen coolant that looks like black sludge…looks like it has never been changed…so I’ll get that done this morning after coffee…more later…
It’s been weird…
Well…it has been a weird couple of days and I have the recurring fear that I might be running out of things to say…politics is not very interesting and my life has devolved into a bore with not having anyone to hang out with any more…so, what do I talk about now? Or, what do I do now? Questions, questions…and I don’t have any answers..one thing did just strike me as I sit here and try…why is ole Mitt tied with Obama in the polls when all he is proposing is exactly what drove the country off the road a few years ago? Nothing at all new…just more tax cuts for the rich and more safety net cuts for the rest of us…and yet, people are buying this nonsense…the more I drive my new car, the more I like it…and I’m even starting to get used to the idea that I can’t carry anything in it…I am going to let T drive it in the near future…she being a Fiat girl and all…she may appreciate it…we did have a nice lunch today but I am a little worried about her pace…but, that’s not my job anymore so I’ll have to let that go…I could do a spandex alert from the trail today…do these guys ever look in the mirror before they go out on their bikes? If they did, they would slink back and change I’m sure…no one over 250 lbs should ever wear it, especially when half of that weight is in their guts…okay…I’m about finished for now…at least I got a second one out…
June 25th
Well…it was a day yesterday and I did a total veg out watching races and just hanging out…didn’t even drive the car I was so into the whole idea of doing nothing…I did cook a little but didn’t eat much so I feel a little low on energy today…and I didn’t come back for another one…just forgot and didn’t have anything to say anyway but I do need to get caught up today so I will come back for a couple more later…not much to do today…I do have lunch with T today and I have to get a haircut since I am looking really shaggy…that’s enough for now….
June 24th
Well…it was a long day yesterday and it was good to see K for a while…and I did stay up to watch the Joe Walsh special on CMT which I thought was going to be strange and it did look like some of the people he played with had no clue who he was…but, it was still good to see Joe…I’m going to keep this one short right now since there are some storms coming and I want to get the bike ride in before it rains…back later for more…
June 23rd
Well…it was another long night last night and it is getting really old…feel pretty crappy today and not really motivated to do this right now…so I won’t…be back in a little while to do more…okay, I’m back after coffee and the papers and feel much better…can’t wait to get out on the bike after F1 qualifying since there is no wind this morning and those days are really rare…and it is only 61 degrees right now so that will make it even better…it was a pain in the ass yesterday with all of the tree cutting going on around here…I had just washed and waxed the car and it was coated with sawdust that I had to try to wipe off but the new wax seems to attract dust…I was kind of hoping that it would rain last night to clean it off but it looks like I may just have to go back and wash it again…not much to do today…I may meet up with K later to hang out or just take a drive in the car….I did join MOMM yesterday…(Miata owners of Mid Michigan) and it may be cool to hang out with others that have the Miata bug….
June 22nd
Well…it was a day yesterday but I am a little confused that I didn’t sleep even after all of the activity…oh, well…I did skip working out and the bike ride yesterday so the guilt has kicked in and I will make sure that I will do that this morning…I am kind of looking forward to getting back into the routine today and cooking some chicken with the new spices I got yesterday…and fresh veggies that I got from C….and I’ll come back here for more later but I am a little foggy today and I need to clear the fog before I can think as well as I need to….
Okay…it’s after lunch and I feel much better so I thought I’d relate some trail weirdness that happened today…first, there were the huge groups of turkeys that were just strolling across the trail like they had nothing better to do…then, I was struck in the chest by a frickin dove that was startled when I came by…could that be a dove bomber? I know, really bad pun….
Just a little more…
Well…it was a long day today with the trip to Mt. P today and I got a pleasant surprise that the mileage on the car is around 30 on the highway…which I really wasn’t expecting since it is not built to be a highway cruiser…and it is nice to have a car that I don’t have to think about when I go somewhere….and I did have to the top down the whole way but did get a little wet north with the rain that was falling for the first 30 miles or so coming back…had a lot of fun and found out a bunch of stuff today and it was good to see C and Ren…oh, and D, too….so, I’m sure you’ve guessed that this is just kind of a filler for the day but I will be back tomorrow with at least three good ones…I’m going to have G and t’s tonight so I should feel okay in the morning….I hope there will be sleep tonight since I’ve been up since 4:30 and driving over 200 miles is kind of wearing….we’ll see…
June 21st
Well…another night of no sleep and up at 5:30 and this is getting tiring….not going to say much right now but I do have a road trip to do to Mt. P today….so, I may only do a couple of these….I used to think it was kind of magical to be up at this time of the day but now I just think it’s a pain in the ass….when did sleeping become optional? I’m waiting for the damn dish to reset but I’m done for now…I’ll be back later for more but right now I need to do something else…
