Well…a fun day yesterday with a great lunch with T…after lunch, though, I just vegged and watched movies being totally unproductive and that sloth continued into the evening with cocktails and more Neflix on my roku. I think I’m getting to the point that I don’t even watch the dish anymore….it was off in the rain last night and I didn’t even know it….I do feel a little slow this morning but I think it’s from just eating lunch yesterday and nothing else…I am going to make another pork loin roast today so I’ll make up for it later. Not much to do today..might have a SF with K and V later but I’m not sure if it will be today or tomorrow…and I have some work to do around here that I shouldn’t put off anymore….but, it will probably be more vegging later…just can’t get motivated and not sleeping well doesn’t help…I will get at least one more out today with the front page article by the Lt. Gov that basically said “trust us” something that you just can’t do with those liars….

Well…an earlier start this morning and there is no reason for that either except that I wanted to get going…and try to get the brain working to see if it helps the rest of the day…slept okay last night…there is nothing better than a fresh bed to sleep in…I think it helps me sleep but it could just be bunk. Bunk…that a word I haven’t used in a while….after I got all my work done yesterday, it was nice to veg for a while…it was the first time all week and I think it will help me acclimate to working again..if that ever happens…I do have kind of a busy day today…have to do groceries this morning…then work out, and out to meet T for a late lunch….the Wings lost for the second time in a row and I am starting to get concerned about the playoffs…but that is just me I guess…I am going to get a few out today…but they will be in between working out and lunch…probably won’t be motivated to do them later but I am going to get a couple a day out over the weekend….more later…

Well…it’s been an eventful last three days and I am still a little worn out…that’s probably from not sleeping well, too, but I can’t be sure..I hope it’s not just from getting old or I will be pissed…I did get the car fixed today and it is nice to have the stealth wreck back….and it wasn’t the repair that they did Tues…it was another break the they re-welded for me for free…and they removed a decrepit heat shield that had fallen down onto the pipes and that took care of a rattle that was driving me nuts…just hope the heat doesn’t start the carpet on fire…but it would be a good story, wouldn’t it? It was nice to finally have a few minutes to watch a movie this aft…”the Town” with Ben Affleck…an okay movie but nothing great….going to take the night off from cocktails tonight since I have lunch with T tomorrow and it is nice to be sharp when we meet….and you know the plan anyway…cocktails on Friday and Saturday only..just can’t afford the calories…..

I was going to do anther political one today but it’s just not working…don’t want to just write to write so I’ll end here….

Well…it was a really busy day yesterday and I hope I can get back to the normal routine today and get some comments done…I do have to take the wreck back in this morning to see if they can do the exhaust job right for once and I am starting to get irritated about it….was up about 4:30 this morning when I got a couple of texts from T…made me laugh and was a good start to the day…I did get a little more sleep since then and feel pretty good tight now…it’s kind of nice what taking a day off from cocktails can do for you…I just hope that once I get the car done I can relax a little..but I do have another busy day with the need to go out for supplies and try to find parts for the equipment that failed a couple of days ago….learned a lot up in MP yesterday so I think I can fix it on my own…not much else to do today…the Wings lost last night and have another one against the Sharks tonight but I can’t wait for the west coast swing to be over so the games will start at a reasonable hour… I will have more post for later since there are topics that I haven’t dealt with and I miss being productive…more later….

Well….yeah, I know, not additional posts yesterday but I did have a lot to do and didn’t feel that great all day….don’t feel much better today but have to take the wreck back in since they didn’t get it right…lost at pool, too, but there was just something off that I’m not sure what the problem is….just hope it goes away as the day progresses…..not much to do today…have to stop at G’s for a sec and then the normal routine…I promise I’ll get more out today since I’m already a couple behind for the month….more later…

Okay…just got back…had to go to Mt. Pleasant to pick up some equipment and it is tiring to go over 200 miles with no food…but, I just put dinner in and I have a few minutes for it to cook so I thought I’d update before I get to any other topic…didn’t even read all of my news papers since I wanted to get going once I decided to go….it was nice to see C’s farm and his dog Ren again…and it was not too tough to find it even without GPS…I did have to use a map, though, but I think it is so easy to find I think I can find it again…we’ll see…I am going to try to get one more out today…or three tomorrow…not sure yet…just wanted to do a little more…

Well…a fun night last night out at Great Lakes…feel like crap this morning and I have to take the car in in a few minutes….not looking forward to that at all….laughed a ton and met some new people that was a hoot….so, of course the brain is not working at all today and I am going to keep this one short until I get back around 10 or so…might even skip the coffee shop to come back here and nurse the wounds since I have to go out this aft to shoot pool….I will try to get a couple out later today but I’m not sure…more later…

Okay…I’m back for a while…did get the car fixed this morning and it only took about a half hour since they did order the part yesterday when I stopped in….now I just need to get the brakes fixed and it will be good to go through the rest of the winter….yeah, it is still winter here in Michigan for a few more weeks and I can’t wait for it to be over…the sun is shining today, though, so that make it easier to endure…still thinking about coming back with another one later but it’s not looking too good right now…did not sleep last night so I need to get a nap in before I go out to shoot pool….

Well…that was a normal sunday other than getting out to Tom’s to find out what was wrong with the wreck…and found out the part int he exhaust that was replaced 2 months ago failed again so I’ll have to take it back in tomorrow…the good news is that it should be free to have it fixed…a small shot of good news in the otherwise dismal time that I’m having. Okay, enough of that…after all we are getting to March which will mean snowmelts and getting back on the bike by the end of the month, I hope…I need to get more exercise and just can’t get motivated to do anything else. Not much to do today…I will have to set the appt for the car and get some resumes out, then maybe out with G later but I don’t think so..we’ll see…I will have some topics for later….

Okay…not done yet…I did watch part of the oscars last night…was it as much of a bore as I thought it was? James Franco was basically a waste of space…no snap to the whole show….

Well…I know, really late this morning but I have an excuse….not really, just decided to read the paper first and have some coffee since I was not a good boy yesterday with SF out with k and then a few cocktails here. But, the good news is the Wings won in a shootout and that made me smile…about the only thing that does anymore…that’s not true..or, only kinda true….did not accomplish anything yesterday and I am starting to feel guilty about that…I will do something today, though, taking the wreck out to Tom’s to take a look at the exhaust and see if there is anything we can do to make it last a little longer…it’s been a couple of years since I’ve been under it and it is just the worst thing to do that in a snow covered car…have to get the work clothes out again…other than that, not a lot to do today…there is a race on and I have a movie to watch but that is about it..the Oscars are on tonight but I don’t know if I’m going to watch…I used to love that stuff but it just doesn’t grab me anymore…we’ll see….looks like I’m going to make it to 60 for the month and I should feel good about that…more later…

Well…running late again this morning but you’ve seen this pattern before so you shouldn’t be surprised…this happens almost every weekend…and that is kind of strange since there is no difference between weekdays and weekends for me….was kind of a bore of a day yesterday…I did try the new pork recipe for the slow cooker and that came out quite good…kind of like slow cooked barbecue that was very tender and flavorful….have to remember to really boost the spices when I’m using the cooker, otherwise the food turns out somewhat bland. Just hung out last night and did nothing but watch tv…it was kind of nice to just veg out…and no, it’s not what I do all the time…just most of the time…I am going to try to be much more productive today, after I finish reading the papers and having my coffee that is, I am going to clean my kitchen….or try to clean it..who knows. I do have at least one more topic for the day but probably 2…with the details of the new tax structure here in Michigan finally coming out it appears my prediction is true, that the state’s budget will be balanced on the backs of the poor and retired, while business and the upper classes walk away without paying a dime more….more later…

Okay, I know, I’m not supposed to talk politics here…so I won’t, I did forget that there is going to be a SF today with K and V…kind of hope we just meet up out here instead of going across town…although the wreck could use getting up to temp…this winter has been hard on it…then there are races and a Wings game later so at least I won’t be bored….

Well….it’s been a weird few days and I have been feeling this strange disconnect with the world, like I’m in it but not part of it….I don’t know if that has affected my posts or not since the way I look at things and my objectivity has been strained, too. But, now that I think about it, objectivity is something that I struggle with at times with outrage overwhelming it on a regular basis. And no, this one is not to just get my count up for the month…after all, I don’t make any money on this stuff..it might be nice to get piece work like I used to at the factory job that I started out with. Now, the damn car has another exhaust problem that is going to cost another 250 to 300 bucks that I just don’t have….so I sit here isolated again, waiting for the slow cooker to finish and for 7 o’clock to come for cocktail time…at least there is a race on to see tonight…but it’s from Phoenix which is not one of my favorite tracks.

Have not heard form K yet so I guess there is no FF to look forward to…maybe tomorrow for SF…who knows? Not much else to do for the weekend, I guess I’ll just wing it and see what happens…I did watch that oscar nominated documentary called “Exit through the gift shop” that has gotten a lot of attention but it was hard to get through the whole thing…and I didn’t see a point to it at all. No where near as good as “the Cove” that was up for the oscar last year. Okay…I’m running out of things to say right now but I may come back later….there have been things emerging all day but the effect is fleeting….more later…
