Well…I almost forgot that I did do some things yesterday…after the success of fixing the pedal arm on the bike…4 days and counting that it has not come loose….I decided to work on the other things that needed to be fixed….the stitching on the seat had worn through so I had to sew both sides back together with some heavy duty thread that did take a while and I stuck the needle under my fingernail which still hurts like crazy…and I drilled the seat post to put a screw in it to keep it from rotating…but, the screw head broke off when I was putting it in…if I have to remove it, I think there may be enough thread sticking out to grab it with vise grips….when I rode this morning, the bike felt almost good enough to get another year out of it….maybe….

Well…another wasted day yesterday and there are too many of those lately…not sure what the problem is but there is one…I did get to watch lots of sports yesterday so that was cool but nothing else got done…I did work on the bike but it didn’t work out like I thought…should be okay and we’ll see when I get on it later….put too much coffee in the coffee maker this morning and it overflowed the grounds into the carafe so I had to re-filter it and it is very strong..almost espresso like so I hope that will help me get out of this funk…I did get some good news this morning…having lunch with T today and it will be good to see her….it’s been a while…I do have an errand to run this morning but I’m not sure if I’ll get to it before lunch since I have to wait for the temp to come up to get on the bike…I guess I could do it this aft….more later….oh, I do have a debate one to do later so come on back…

Well….I was going to do one to declare that the bike is fixed but I just didn’t get around to it…but, the bike is fixed…2 days now with no loose pedal so maybe I have it this time….didn’t get a whole lot else done yesterday bu I’ll have to do more today….feel pretty crappy this morning and had some weird dreams last night…I slept on my left shoulder that hurts like crazy….it may be a good day to just hang out and rest since the temp is only 44 and I need it to be 47+ to go out without gloves…don’t have enough leftover coffee this morning so I may need to make more…don’t think a cup and a half is enough to get me moving….okay…need to find out who won the F1 race last night so I’m headed back to the couch….will be back for another one later…maybe…

Well…running a little late today and part of it is that I just can’t get going this morning…went out to have a couple with K last night and that got my night started way too early…oh, and I lost at pool…and we can throw in pool day so it was a long one yesterday….my back was okay most of the day yesterday but it hurts again today and I’m not sure why….I’m hoping I have the bike fixed but won’t know for sure until I get out today…but, it’s only 45 right now so I need to let the temp come up some so I don’t have to wear gloves….don’t have a heck of a lot to do today but watch sports so that is what I’m going to do….more later….oh, and clean some….maybe…

Well….out on the bike this morning, I came up on a place where the trail crosses a road and a Honda Fit, the smallest car that Honda sells int he US, was crossing in front of me….the first thing that popped into my head was: “who the heck would buy a car that small?” The laughter just exploded into my head from that…but you have to understand the context of that….If you’ve been here before, you know that I drive an A version 1994 Miata, one of the smallest cars ever sold in the US…it doesn’t even have a back seat…at least the Fit has four doors AND a back seat…okay, it was funny to me.

Oh, some trail stuff, too…I may have fixed the pedal arm on the bike…at least I got through today without it coming loose….yesterday, I took it apart and cleaned the whole thing up..then I slathered the shaft with blue Loctite, put the arm back on, and then whacked it to make sure it seated where it should…the thing went on an extra quarter inch and was stable even without the bolt…but, I red Loctited the bolt anyway and tightened it as tight as I could…so far, so good….

Well…still hurt everywhere and I can’t figure it out….I did figure out why my toes on my right foot hurt and it’s the damn weight machine again…whacked my foot on it the other day…something I’ve done more than once….but I can’t remember how I hurt my back…it’s not as bad today so I think it’s healing….had a pretty busy day yesterday with work and the grocery run and the bike ride keeping me busy until late in the aft and that is a good thing…today will not be busy at all with just the bike ride and pool, but I am looking forward to grilling some pork chops for lunch….back to not eating enough and I am feeling it today…or it’s the allergies again since they have been quite bad lately….I do need to remember to take something for it…I noticed that the key I have been using for the car for the past 4 years has a crack in it so I have to use the dealer cut one I paid 15 bucks for….I thought that the ignition lock was wearing out but the new key works just fine…probably should get a couple of new ones cut to have some spares….more later…
