Well…an okay day yesterday but I woke up this morning to another flat on the bike so I’ll have to get a repair kit when I get groceries this morning or another tube, not sure yet…but I guess that’s the only decision I’ll have to make today and that makes it easy…I am a little irritated that I missed the storms last night but I can stop running the air and don’t have to watch the money running out the door every time it starts…I wasn’t good last night so I do feel a little crappy today but I may survive it…not much to do today…groceries, of course and then repairing the bike but that’s about it…I did watch a good small movie last night called “How do you know” that was a little odd in that even though there were characters with flaws, they were all still likable and nice people…but, not much happened in it and that is okay…I will get to more later but the hope of a long form one is quite slim today…more later…

Well… a quite different day yesterday…got up early and headed for the beach and the was okay but I’m not going back until the water is warm enough to go swimming…no way to cool off…and I was kind of an idiot when I got back, waiting until 2 to go out on the bike and it was like riding in liquid…almost dangerous since you just can’t dump that heat and it took me almost two hours to cool down when I got back…going out early this morning since it is going to be worse today….still can’t warm up to Biggby coffee but I may give it one more try today just to get out of here…not much to do today…going to just kind of hibernate here after the ride and stay out of the heat…I will be back later with more…there are things happening again…

Well….I’m sure you noticed that I’d titled these wrong over the past couple of days…still stuck in May…or maybe that was wishful thinking on my part…so, I went back and fixed them…need to stay consistent, after all. It was an okay day yesterday…didn’t do much but I did go out for a couple with G and ran into T at GL…it was good to see her…and then I was good when I got home so I feel okay today…so okay that I think I’m going to the beach this morning to hang out and read the paper….and get the color started evening out…it’s already 75 degrees at 7am so it will be nice…have to look up what the Lake Michigan water temp is to see how badly I’m going to freeze if I go swimming….probably should get my workout in before I go so I can just ride the bike when I get back…decisions, decisions…so you know that means I’ll be late for the next one but I normally get off the beach by noon…more later…

Well…it was kind of the day I expected yesterday…not much going on but races so I made the best of it and just watched them….and napped..it is Napcar after all….I did nave a nice ride and it still feels good that at my age I can rip off 20 miles on the bike in almost a sprint…I wonder when that is going to go away like everything else…there were some neat things to look at on the trail yesterday…a deer was about 20 feet from the edge and just stood there as I rode by…it was paying attention to me but no skittishness as all and that was unusual…there were muskrats, bunnies, more snakes…I did look up and see things since it was a no sprint day and that made me smile. Didn’t hear from G but I really didn’t expect to…will probably hear from her today..if not, that’s okay, too. Not much to do today…the weather is going to be beach-like all week and I am going to have to load the car up and go one day early in the day…I can use the evening of the bike tan….I will try to get a few out today…had many ideas as I was trying to sleep last night but they are all gone now so I’ll have to start over…

Well…a really hot day yesterday…didn’t do much but ride the bike and there were a lot of races on to watch so I just vegged it out for the day…Not sure why I’m running late today…I’ve been up since 6 but just couldn’t get going…I’m looking forward to getting out early today and enjoying the first windless day that I can remember…it’s Pink Floyd in the ears when I go out and I am promising myself I won’t sprint at all today…just a look up and around day where I smile at the sky and grin a little…might have a couple with G later but with her trip back from Ohio, I don’t think she’ll be up for it…I certainly wouldn’t be after a 6 hour drive….it has been a strange week and with Tom getting a job, it looks like one of the two things I have to do to keep from becoming a total hermit is going away…but, I guess you have to get used to change as time goes on….the coffee still tastes good, the sun still comes up, and I’m still living and breathing so it could be worse…I may have another one today but who knows? I’m still thinking about the oldest boy moving away and the conversation we had….

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…but the third of 4 kids is moving out of state today and I’m happy he is going…it’s time for him to try some new things and get out of GR….and it gets me another place to visit that I haven’t been to yet….but it is still bittersweet….I wasn’t good last night so I need my coffee and papers…I’ll be back later with more…

I know…it took a long time to get back here but I was feeling like crap all morning and then I had to take a nap to try to feel human again…which I am, kinda, I was so good all week and then K tempted me yesterday and it was time to give in…but now I remember why I was being good and I’ll only have one more day of badness before I become good again…the bike ride was a killer today even at 9am and I came back just whipped…I did see my first snake of the year on the trail today which made me smile….it is getting hot today and I know I’ll have to run the air to sleep tonight..don’t know if I’ll have anything else to say today but I’ll try later….

Well..it was an interesting day yesterday…not really, didn’t do much but lie out in the sun…and it only took about 30 mins to get scorched to the point I needed aloe to keep from peeling…yep, lead a very boring life….but today might be better…I have hope anyway….I do have things to do today starting with heading for G’s first in a little while and then to the normal routine but that will be broken up with drinks with K later in the aft….I have been good three nights in a row now…nope, four nights in a row and I am starting to feel better…but still no sleep but I’m waiting for the body to reset so I guess I’ll just have to be patient…I’ll be back in a while to add to this one and for others….I think the cobwebs are clearing a little and that means you’ll have more to see later…

Well… I was good last night and feel pretty good today…but we’ll see if that continues past the morning…I sure hope so…I am getting tired of being tired all the time….it was just a normal night last night…I did watch the movie “The Fighter” last night and it was just so much better than the “Black Swan”…so I’m two movies into the oscar nominated ones from last year..I think I’ll have to look up that list so I can order the right one next time…I did watch part of the Stanley Cup playoffs, too, but I just can’t get interested with the Wings not in it….sleep was okay last night but still no dreams and I miss that….not much to do today…might get the clubs out and go hit a bucket of balls but my elbow is a little sore so I might just rest it and take it easy…not quite warm enough to go to the beach but it looks like next week will be better…I will get more out today since the nonsense of the repubs is starting to get deep….

Well…had a fun day yesterday with lunch with T and then out to play pool with Tom…and I won for the first time in a month so that was the icing on the cake…I was good when I got home….the first day of no cocktails at home so I should feel better today…and I think I do but I just got up so I’m not sure yet…did not sleep at all which I know is a result of being good and I know it will take a few days to get back into the groove and reset the body. I do have some stuff to do today…have to rebuild the door on the car since the duct tape is coming apart and then the regular routine…looks like a nice day out there already and I need to get going since I’m already running late…there will be more later even if I have to force it since I barely made my numbers for last month…so, more later…

Well…yeah, I know…I’m not doing my job here but I just haven’t had much to say lately…I did have an okay day yesterday but I did have to turn the air con on to sleep last night…I just can’t get the picture out of my head that there was money going out of my wallet every time the thing came on…oh, well…went over to K’s yesterday for a little party and had some fun and I feel quite crappy this morning but today starts the being good for the summer phase so you won’t hear that from me anymore. I do have lunch with T today and I am looking forward to it and to the storms we are supposed to have later. I did get the bike cleaned up yesterday..it was just coated in crud and I didn’t even want to ride it….it is starting to look like it has the 7,000 miles on it that it does but that’s okay….that’s about it for now…I will be back later for politics and other stuff…

Okay…just thought I’d add a little to this one before I take off and go to lunch…..it was a really nice bike ride this morning but the wind was up again which always hurts like crazy…at least the real wind waited to come until I got back here….I don’t know if it’s me or not, but people seem to be getting nicer…yep, I’ll bet you never thought you’d hear that out of me but it appears that I’m seeing far fewer scowls and idiot behavior out there when I’m on my bike…or it could be that these people have seen me if full crazy mode on the bike before and it makes them laugh that an old guy like me tortures himself every day….don’t really care which…just hope it continues because it helps my mood considerably….more later….but it has been a slow news week again so nothing has outraged me…geez maybe I’m getting too mellow to keep doing this….
