Well..it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was cool…and I was able to have the top down out and back and that was a plus…and I finally got a bike ride in after being off it all week…it felt good to get some exercise after being a slug all week and that will happen again today…just waiting for the temp to come up…I can’t wait for the weather to finally warm up so I can go out when I’m ready…it looks like it will be almost 80 by the end of next week so that will finally allow me to get out at 9am…..I feel a little crappy this morning after the long day that Fridays are and I think I slept okay but can’t be sure….I know I didn’t eat enough yesterday…down around 1400 cals for the day and that’s not enough with a bike ride…not much to do today…going to do laundry and clean a little but that’s about it…more later…
April 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I still didn’t get out on the bike…way too cold…slept okay last night but the Wings lost so that was crappy…I did get out to see K and have a couple with her but that starts the night on the wrong path and I feel a little crappy today….still coughing for some reason and I think I’ll take some allergy stuff this morning to see if that helps…the tree pollen is supposed to be bad already but the car is not coated yet…it will be later for sure and I am not looking forward to that…had ice on the car again this morning and I am really tired of that….when is spring coming? Not much to do today….I have an errand to run this morning and then out for pool but that is about it…more later…
Ted Cruz is still an idiot….
Well…I hope you saw the grandstanding this idiot did earlier in the week when he stood on the senate floor and railed and railed against Loretta Lynch getting approved for the new AG to replace Eric Holder….saying she would never get approved if he had anything to do about it…and here’s the irony…after that little tantrum the idiot didn’t even show up for the vote today…yep, when he could no longer get his followers worked up or keep himself in the spotlight, ole Ted just stops doing his job and doesn’t even bother to show up. Now, that would make great presidential material don’t you think? If anything in his presidential duties didn’t personally benefit him, he just won’t show up…and, we all know why he did it…so his no vote wouldn’t be on the record and couldn’t be turned into a negative campaign ad. What a self centered idiot…..geez…
April 23rd
Well…running really late today and I am going to blame it on going out to celebrate with G on her finishing college…but, I wasn’t good when I got back here so that has something to do with it, too….it was really a chore to go out to get groceries this morning and the car had ice on it, too, which just depresses the hell out of me…and the cold has kept me off the bike for the past three days…..I am in a funk today for all of that and I think I’m going to wallow in it today and just take the day off….I did sign up for Facebook the other day and I still don’t know if I like it or not…had to do it to keep up with the Miata club who switched to it from Yahoo….okay…need to get back to normal here…slept okay last night but didn’t get up until 7:30…way too late for me and that may be why I feel kind of crappy today…nope…that’s not going to work…not much to do today…as I said, I’m just going to write off the day and wait for the Wings to play tonight…more later…
Red Wings update…
Well…trying to stay up to date on these as the playoffs go on, and with the good win last night, I really want to do this one….as you know, the Wings won convincingly last night by 3-0 and, for the first time, they looked like a team. Not sure what Babcock said to them after the last one but they came out with fire from the start…I think part of it was the return of Abdelkader giving Babcock the ability to go back to the lines that were successful during the regular season…splitting Pavel and Hank up again looked like a great idea since they both played better with other linemates and Pavel kept up his scoring with one going off his foot in the first. It was good to see them play like they can…now I’m excited about Thursdays game and can’t wait to see it…maybe 3-1 going back to Tampa? Oh, I forgot to mention the great play of Mrazak the goalie…stood on his head for his first playoff shutout and I hope that goalie comes back out for Thursday….
April 22nd
Well….running a little late today since I was up late celebrating the Wings win…slept okay but no dreams again but I am getting used to to it…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I am going to try to do something today…the operative word is try…still might not but I am going to try…didn’t get on the bike for a second day and it looks like I’ll stay off today, too…only going to be about 40 today and I have stored the thermasuit for the year so I guess I’ll just wait until tomorrow…it was snowing a few minutes ago and that really depresses me…it’s almost the end of April and it’s snowing? Just can’t take it….I do feel okay today but I shouldn’t and that is one plus that I will be thankful for….not much to do today…going to make it a lazy day until I go out for a couple with G later to celebrate her last day of school…more later….
RIP Steve Byrnes….
Well…there was some sad news that came over my twitter feed this afternoon….Steve Byrnes has died after a long battle with cancer. If you have been a NASCAR fan over the past 20 years, you saw Steve doing pit road interviews and working the booth for many races in all of the three series….it was always nice to see Steve asking the hard questions and smiling as he did it…getting answers that others didn’t since he had the respect of everyone in the garage. He leaves behind his wife and 12 year old son…RIP Steve…..
Red Wings update….
Well…as I promised, here is the Red Wings update that I neglected to do Sunday or yesterday…and, I think it was the score that has kept me away…I mean, when you lose 5-1 in a hockey game, you got your butt handed to you. The strange thing is that I think they played better than in their win on Thursday…much more energy but the pucks were just going in for Tampa…I’ve seen games like this all the time since I have been a hockey fan but why didn’t it go the other way? Not sure about that but tonight we have another one and I have to find the gear again and get ready this aft….but, the game is going to be on nbcsn so we don’t get Ken and Mickey and that is a bit of a letdown….but, I am going to break my cocktail rule for tonight and have a couple so that will help….and, we have Abdelkater back tonight so that may help, too…we’ll see….I still have hope we can go up 2-1 tonight…..
Okay…I was wrong…just checked and the Wings are on FSD along with nbcsn….yay!
April 21st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but way too gloomy for me…another day of rain all day kept me cooped up here but I did get a couple of errands run so that was something….slept okay and had some dreams that made no sense so I won’t report them now….and I just realized that I didn’t do my Wings update after the Saturday debacle so I will do that this aft…not sure why I’m sore today but I think it has to do with the weather change…it’s only supposed to be 32 tomorrow and that will challenge the shorts rule but I may be able to take it….I do want to get back on the bike today but with the wind blowing 20 already, I’m not sure I want that kind of torture….not much to do today…I am going to clean a little around here and maybe put the new wipers on the car but that’s about it….more later….
I’m shocked….but happy…
Well…was just reading “The Detroit Free Press” on my phone and this bit of shocking but happy news came across the screen…the Inkster cop who beat a man bloody and who had been sued many, many times for brutality is being charged with two felonies relating to the latest of his long list of beatings. Yep, finally, one of these cops is going to be held accountable for this crap; for beating an unarmed man and planting drugs on him to try to justify the beating…but, the prosecutor has just dropped the last charge of possession of drugs of the beaten man so justice appears to have been served. But, this can’t be the last time one of these thugs is held accountable…and it appears that with all of the added scrutiny and the videos that are surfacing, baby steps are beginning that may just lead to reform….I know this may just be wishful thinking but baby steps are better than no steps…it’s about time….
