October 13th

Well…another disappointing night with the Tigers losing another one…but I was good so I feel pretty good today..it was boring being good, though but I do understand the need for it…sleep was okay with just a couple of dreams with Russian spies and lots of snow in them but nothing complete or complex to report. It looks like it may be a little difficult to get the ride in today since it’s going to start raining in a couple of hours and I do have the grocery run to get in before I go….so it may be I end at 174 days in a row…only 9 short so I don’t feel that bad about it…not much to do today…might meet up with T for a couple later but that’s about it…I will be back later with more political stuff since there are some things happening that I need to comment on….

Okay…needed a little addendum to this morning’s…just got back from the bike ride so that is 175 days in a row…only 8 more…

Here’s the lyric: “just one more morning I had to wake up with the blues….pull myself out of bed….put on my walking shoes…”

October 12th

Well…I am running late today and I know why..it was a long day yesterday and I just can’t get going yet….but I’m trying even though my brain is still idling….I had fun at pool and won the week in a championship game so that is two in a row…haven’t done that in a while….the moon was just so cool when I got up this morning and I had to stare at it for a while…that doesn’t have any big meaning but it looked neat…not much to do today…I am going to just let the day slide by and slide along with it…more later…

Oh, and the Tigers won to make it a series again….can’t wait for 4:19 this afternoon….

Forgot the lyric…here it is: “battle lines are being drawn…nobody’s right if everybody’s wrong…young people speaking their minds..gettin so much resistance from behind…”

October 11th

Well…it was a long day out yesterday so I am running a little slow today…but the Lions whipped on the Bears so that was cool…I am a little disappointed that lunch with T on Wed was canceled but that’s how it goes sometimes….okay….this isn’t working right now so I’m going to go and come back later…

Okay..the coffee and papers have done their trick and I’m back for a few minutes before I start working out..injured myself doing that yesterday and I am wondering how long it’s going to take to recover…the weird thing is, my arm only hurts when I work out, I can do everything else with just a twinge…oh, well…I may have things to do today…pool with Tom and then I’m meeting up with K for a couple after that so I’ll have to take it easy while shooting…but that’s okay…I did ride the bike out for coffee today and it felt good but tinged with a sense of impending winter with the weather changes that are coming later in the week…but there’s nothing I can do about that so I’ll stop thinking about it….

Today is number 173 on the bike…only 10 more to go…
Here’s today’s lyric: “she lies and says she’s in love with him…can’t find a better man…”

October 10th

Well…another Sunday and I did have a little fun with going out to meet up with K for a couple at Logan’s…I was looking forward to seeing the Tigers play but another rainout put that off until today…not sure if it will conflict with the Lions game…nope, it won’t…the Tigers start at 4….I do feel a little worn out today but that should go away in a couple of hours…after I get some water and a few minutes on the couch…not much to do today….I may have a couple with G later but that’s about it…I will get out and enjoy the weather…maybe even take a color tour on the bike…although I do that on my ride every day…so, maybe I won’t…who knows? More later….

Okay…I’m back for a minute…there have been developments on things to do this week…G tonight, and then K and V tomorrow, and then lunch with T on Wed…..it’s pretty cool to be able to get out and do something for a change…

Here’s today’s lyric: “Everywhere around me I see jealousy and mayhem…because no men have their peace of mind to carry them…”

October 9th

Well…a long day yesterday and, as I expected, it was a complicated night of sports with the Wings, Michigan,, the Tigers, and the Bathurst 1000 race on….Michigan won but the Tigers lost so I have mixed emotions about it…and with so much flipping back and forth, there was no flow to the games…maybe next time I’ll just pick one to watch. Maybe the cocktails had something to do with it, too…who knows? I don’t feel bad this morning, though, so I don’t think I overdid it….okay, I’m bored with this right now so I’ll come back later to add to it…

Okay….I’m back for a bit while I wait for the temp to come up enough to go out on the bike with just a t-shirt….it looks like kind of a boring day today with no Lions until tomorrow night but there are a couple of races on so that may be slightly amusing…and I may have a couple with K this aft since I haven’t seen her in a couple of weeks….I should get rid of the leaning tower of newspapers but I probably won’t today…I do have some big ribs in the oven…making them two ways today…one set in the foil pouch and one other one just in a pan….don’t know why I did it that way….just fooling around I guess…

It’s 171 days today….12 more to go…
Here’s today’s lyric: “the sun is the same in a relative way but you’re older…shorter of breath and one day closer to death…”

October 8th

Well…as I expected, it was a long day yesterday but I had a lot of fun with the dinner for G…but, I feel okay this morning…taking it easy, though, for a while to kind of ease into the day….I have read the papers and had a couple of cups of coffee and that has helped…it was cool the Wings won last night but looked really sloppy…at least Hudler got a goal so maybe he will get going this year….there is a huge dilemma in the Michigan sporting world to tonight…the Tigers, Michigan, and the Wings all play tonight so it looks like the remote is going to get a workout….not much else to do today…it looks like a gorgeous morning out there so I can get my ride in early…and I am going to take it easy to try to get the legs to stop hurting…and just smile and look at the colors for a change…hoping to have some more wildlife stories to report….yesterday’s really made me grin….more later…

Oh, today is day 170…only 13 more to go..
Here’s today’s lyric: “I crawl like a viper through these suburban streets…make love to these women…languid and bittersweet…”

Just a few things….

Well…it was an interesting day out on the trail…on one of them that runs through a forest…almost t-boned a deer that was running through like a heat seeking missile….I could see it coming from the left and it crossed the trail only about 5 feet in front of me…I wonder how they can run so fast when the woods are as thick as they are there…pretty cool…and then, about 2 miles on, I saw a huge female red-tailed hawk sitting on the bridge where I saw the other raptor a couple of weeks ago…again, pretty neat…

Oh, today was day 169…only 14 more to go to get to my six month goal….and there probably won’t be another one today….and I can’t come up with a song lyric off the top of my head so I won’t do that today, either….

Okay…here’s the lyric: “start on Key Plantain…walk a tropical mile….you’ll see a house in the Spanish style…”

October 7th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a lot of stuff done on the car…broke a wrench trying to get the tires off to rotate them but it was one of the lifetime guarantee ones so I got one free and finished it up…I do have to get some more trans lube today since it is low and that may be why it has been shifting kind of stiffly….it was a long night, though with the Tigers beating New York…yay….and having a couple of cocktails so I feel a little slow today…it is going to be a long day today with G’s birthday party and the first Wings game tonight…so, I’d better rest up and get a glass of water…more later…

October 6th

Well…a long day yesterday..but I already told you about that so I won’t repeat myself…didn’t sleep well again…but that shouldn’t be a surprise….the weather has been nice but I think I may have to wash my car again…I didn’t know there were so many bugs still out there…the trip to Mt P coated the front of it and the windshield and that is kind of bugging me…oh…that was bad and I didn’t event think of it….it just came out…not much to do today…I do need to rotate some tires on the wreck and check the trans oil, and eat something since I really didn’t have much yesterday with all of the traveling…more later…

It’s been a long day…

Well…I was going to come back and do a political one but really the only thing you need to know about right now is the Occupy! protests that are going on around the country..it is the center/left revolt that I have been predicting for the last year and hoping would happen. But, that’s not what this one is about…it was C’s 40th birthday today and I had to make the run to Mt. P to hang out with him for a while so that took up most of my day and I just got back and had dinner…now I’m going to have a cocktail and watch a little tv for a while….the old wreck made it again but I don’t know how many it has left in it….okay, I’m going to go take it easy for a while…200 miles in one day takes a lot out of me…
