Well…had a nasty little surprise when I go home from HH with K yesterday…new people are moving in next door to me and there are children in the mix….I raised mine and just don’t want to be around them anymore…well…maybe that’s a little harsh…let’s just wait and see how it’s going to work out…I do have to remember to be the better person that I have been trying to be over the past few years….I guess it’s just too easy to have the knee jerk reactions that keep you from thinking and adapting…..I did have fun at HH and then was not good when I got home and feel a little slow today…it may be that I only ate lunch yesterday…falling back into the old trap of not eating enough but I do like the results…if I keep this up I just may make the goal of 160 pounds by the end of the year….hold on…need to look at the radar….okay…need to get going if I’m going to get the bike ride in before the rain comes so I’ll be back later to add to this one….
Well…I was really wrong when I said my first car was a 62 comet…that was actually my first road car…I did have a 1961 comet field car, as we called them…that was wrecked when my father spun it and hit a bus….so, the car was no longer usable on the road but it still ran and I used it when I was 14 to tear around the fields and plow over trees on our property and climb hills at the elementary school next door….I did have a 1960 Chevy before I got my license, too…but lost that one when my brother wrecked his car and needed a way to get to work……it seems like we all had so many cars when I was growing up and swapping out engines and transmissions was just another day at the office for us….I will come back to this one later….since I do want to get the cars that I’ve owned down on paper…..
Well…I didn’t come back and write another one yesterday…just couldn’t work up the outrage necessary to do it…and my brain was just too fuzzy all day…and it looks like today is about the same…stayed in last night since K was stuck in Flint until late in the day…but we might hang out later this aft…had some weird dreams again last night that included potato peelers and tornadoes..yep, it’s pretty crazy in there at times and it has been almost a week with dreams every night…not something that happens often…not much to do today…I do have to maintain the bike at some point which means I have to put it on the back of the car and take it to the car wash since it is looking really ugly and there are some squeaks when I hit bumps so it needs a complete lube, too….but that won’t be until later…I need some water and the couch…more later…
Well….it was another day yesterday….just like the others, but I did get out for a while and have a couple with T and it was good to see her…and I wasn’t too good last night so the brain is a little fuzzy and I am having a little trouble writing this stuff….so, I won’t continue right now…I need a glass of water and a little couch time….more later…
Okay…I’m back…got the bike ride in and lunch is cooking so I thought I’d come back for a couple of thoughts….have been having weird dreams lately and the latest one was about Nik Kronwall retiring…he didn’t and it was kind of weird since it’s not hockey season and I haven’t been thinking about the Red Wings…I think I may do one here about the cars I’ve owned later in the day or over the next few days….I do need to comment on the economy stalling out and the repubs thinking it’s a good thing….bastards…
Well…another night of being good but the fitful sleep offset it somewhat….it’s been 4 days since I drove my car but I will break that string today since I need to do the grocery run….oh, should have left that for the “not much to do today” section…oh, well…I’ll come back to that later….the wounds from the crash are getting better every day and now I can even sit without the hip bruise hurting so all should be well by the weekend….I am really surprised that my allergies are not worse than they are…this is the first year in a long time I haven’t taken anything for them and I may just be able to muddle through….do allergies get better? Not much to do today…I did mention the grocery run…not as much for food this time as for cleaning products…and I do need the fixings for cocktails for tomorrow…and resumes, of course…I did get two out yesterday and maybe I’ll find a job before I go completely broke…more later…
Well….took the night off last night and I feel okay today…the soreness from the crash has spread and I’m a little hobbled today so I need to get to the ibuprofen soon….more dreams last night that had a lot of cars in it but lots of frustration with not being able to get them fixed..probably related to the exhaust leaks I have with mine…and need to have fixed as some point…not much to do today….just looked at the radar and there is no rain in the picture so it looks like I’ll keep the string alive of riding every day since the start of May and I don’t know how I feel about it…pain in the legs seems to be constant these days and I may have to take a day or two off to rest them…who knows? I will have a better political one for later today with some corrections on the Rick Perry one from yesterday….all of the jobs are not in the oil industry…but the ones that aren’t are all low wage, crappy jobs that you can barely live on….
Well…not much more sore this morning from the crash so i feel pretty good about that…and the bruise is starting to clear already so no war wounds to show off…didn’t do much last night but hang out and watch tv so I feel okay today…I think the tiredness is connected to my allergies since my head feels like it’s filled with concrete and I have been coughing….so it’s just hunker down time while I wait for them to go away….not much to do today….oh, one other thing…weird dreams again last night…this one centered on no brakes in the cars again and I did a lot of agricultural work plowing across peoples yards…backwards…..they are running the Watkins Glen race this morning so I need to get going to be ready by 10…more later…
Well…I didn’t skip the bike ride today and probably should have…crashed the damn thing on a wet bridge going into the nature preserve….okay, I was only going about 1 mph but I did go down and have a huge bruise on my right thigh…thought I sprained my wrist but it has stopped hurting so I guess that’s okay….the bruise looks pretty cool but it does hurt to walk a little…I laughed so damn hard when it happened since I never go that slow and as fast as I normally ride, it should have happened long before this on one of the fast stretches….oh, well…I’ll be back on it tomorrow….and won’t ever ride that slow again….a crash caused by the lack of speed…bet that never happened before…
Well…a long day yesterday and I do feel kind of crappy today…had pool with Tom and then just kept on going through the rest of the night…probably shouldn’t have done that but I’ve got the whole day to recover and I’ll just take it easy and have my coffee…might even skip the bike ride today since it is a little chilly outside…nope, can’t do that…I’ve been on the thing every day since the start of May and it really is the only thing that is keeping me sane these days…but I will wait until later….I do need the second cup of coffee and some couch time before I get going….okay, I need to read the online papers and rest a while…more later….
Well…running really late today but I have an excuse…I did go over to 28th to get those ribs….you just can’t pass up ribs for 99 cents a pound so I bought about 10 lbs…I’ll have to try them in the next couple of days to see if they are any good but how can ribs be bad? I did have a relaxing night here last night and just vegged but I hope today will be different..I might just go out for a while for something different…haven’t been to Billy’s in a while and that might be nice..or, I may just veg here again since I’m going out to shoot pool tomorrow….choices, choices…..more later…
