Well…these first few days of daylight savings time always screws up my body clock so it looks like I’ll have to stay up later tonight or I’ll be flipping and flopping around in bed for hours trying to get to sleep…didn’t get a lot done today but watch races and read…I did give myself a haircut because I like the way it looks when it is trimmed really short and the same for my beard…don’t like it shaggy…didn’t even try to ride outdoors since it never got out of the 30’s today…there was still snow on the lawn most of the day and it is still on the dirt patches for some reason…I am going to try to get outdoors for a ride the next few days that are going to be in the 50’s but I’m still going to do two rides indoors as I wait for the temp to come up…didn’t grill the pork loin I made for dinner but I did cook it in the air fryer and that worked good…still on sale this week but I still have 8 more of them in the freezer and two of them are enough for a week or two…okay..want to read a bit more before 7 so I’ll end here…

Well…damn, going to be doing time conversions in my head all day today with the time change last night and I wonder when they are just going to give up on it? I mean they didn’t do it when I was a kid and we survived pretty well…oh, well…slept okay last night but with not eating much yesterday, I’m going to be pretty worn out all day and I’ll probably repeat that today….this would be a perfect day to take the day off and watch Moto GP but with the new goal of riding every day for the entire year, that’s not going to happen….my record for riding daily is 186 days and I’m 70 days in from the start of the year…it looks like they plan to have the big condo complex open by the end of July and I’ll get my trail back that goes across the point then…but I think they are being a little optimistic…the marina is done but they really just started on the condos and other buildings so I don’t see July…it’s still damn cold out here and we even had snow  yesterday but we are slowly moving toward spring…I hope…still won’t be out on the bike today but I am going to try to get two rides in downstairs after more coffee…not much to do today…going to make one of the pork fillets with a baked potato for lunch and then do a salad for dinner….then I need to plan for the rest of the week….more later…

Well…it’s been and easy day today so I can’t figure out how I’m still doing these at 5 pm? The day just got away from me with all of the sports on tv today so I’ll have to do better tomorrow…I did get two rides and and the weight work so I guess that’s something and I’ll have to do some meal planning tomorrow or make some potato soup…have all of the ingredients so I should do it before the potatoes spoil…and I may grill a couple of the pork loin fillets I got but it’s going to be cold out here tomorrow so maybe just in the air fryer…after I hit the car with the stop leak there wasn’t and condensation on the windshield when I drove it Friday so I’ll keep my fingers crossed that will buy me another month to find a car…but right now I want to read a bit with the race on in the background…

Well…damn, I need to get on the bike in 4 minutes to get the first ride in before Man U plays at 7:30..and I really don’t like to be rushed when I’m getting started in the morning….slept okay last night with only getting up once but I sure don’t feel like it right now…maybe I will after the first ride…don’t even have the first cup of coffee down so that won’t be much help…looks like another day of just inside rides and that’s okay…it seems I’m getting more sensitive to the cold as I get older and just don’t want to have my hands turn white and hurt from it….it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t get anything done and today looks the same with lots of sports on tv…okay, this one is going to be short so I can get on the bike right now at 6:33…I will come back later to do a longer one to make up for it…more later…

Well…man, with all the rain out here today, it was another really easy day and all I did was the two indoor rides and an errand and I was done with that by 10:30 this morning…I did get out and get more of the bacon wrapped pork loin fillets like I got Wed… they will go in the freezer so I have protein that I can just take out the day before I want to cook it…I may try some on the grill next week…finished up the books I got last week and have started three more that I got yesterday…having two days off the outdoor bike has started my body healing and it doesn’t hurt nearly as much as it did earlier in the week…still going to use the heating pad on my back later…have been freezing all day today and I’m not sure why…my allergies are knocking me down today and I could have treated it but forgot to so I’m going to tonight with the flonase and a red dot…but not yet…still have a post to get out on mastodon so I’ll do that first…

Well…okay, I know I whine about being worn out almost every day but today I feel like the air is even thick and it’s effort to even reach over and pick up my coffee cup…and I only have 14 minutes before I have to get on the bike and that is a daunting task to contemplate…had one of the bacon wrapped pork loins yesterday and it was really good so I may run out and see if I can get a few more of them for a buck this morning…slept okay last night and was only up once so I guess that’s a win but I sure don’t feel like it….don’t remember feeling this old in a while…okay, going to stop whining about that…and just get on with it…I did get three more books read this week…almost, and I’ll finish up the third one today and then get started on the next three…one of these days I’m going to just read the whole day but I’m not sure when that will be…it’s a nice thing to think about but to do it? Not going to happen and that’s too bad…not much to do today…it looks like rain today so the rides will be inside and I don’t mind that…too old to be cold and wet….more later…

Well…that was a little better…slept okay last night with only getting up a few times but I still feel worn out even with only riding 20 miles yesterday…going to do two rides indoors this morning and then maybe one outdoors this afternoon but I’m tired of going against the wind out here…and the weather is turning cold for a couple of weeks and I just don’t want to be cold…it looks like March is going to be a write off and no spring and that sucks…still pretty damn sore this morning and that is a good reason for staying inside today…I do want to go over and pay my water bill and get my beach parking permits and hit the library for more books but I guess it can wait til Monday…nope the books can’t…I ‘ll be through them tomorrow and want to have something to read since it’s getting to be a habit again…going to try one of the pork loin fillets I got with some onion rings for lunch today and I thawed some chicken tenderloins for another meal but I’m not sure what the second one is going to be today….not much to do today…need to get on the bike in 30 minutes to get the day started but need more coffee first…more later…

Well…damn, when I was out running errands this morning, there started to be some condensation on the windshield just above the defroster vents and that is a telltale sign of the heater core springing a leak…didn’t smell any coolant but I wasn’t going to chance it getting worse so I hit it with a bottle of stop leak I had on the shelf and let it idle for about 15 minutes to get the stop leak to circulate and I hope it stops it enough so I can still drive it until I have the chance to buy a new car…was going to do that this spring anyway but the problem will be finding another on that doesn’t have any rust in it and the prices have gone so nuts it’s going to cost me 10 grand to replace it instead of the 7-8 I wanted to spend…oh, well…I did get some good deals at Meijers today with 5 pound of potatoes for a buck…some bacon wrapped pork loin fillets for a buck and a bunch of other stuff for a buck…each, too…had another day of not eating much with just a half brat for lunch and then a salad for dinner…and only two rides today sine I have damaged my legs in the high wind lately and my knees needed a rest…

Well…damn, that sucked…up and down 5 times last night and I’m feeling it right now…just damn worn out and I need to get on the indoor bike in 15 minutes to stay on schedule for the day…it’s grocery run day so I need to get out of here by 8:15….pretty darn sore today after riding into the wind yesterday and I sure hope the wind is lower today…it’s supposed to get up to 55 this afternoon but it was supposed to get that warm yesterday and never got near it…I think we may be through with winter but I just looked at the weather and it’s supposed to be down in the 30’s again next week and that sucks….haven’t had a problem with swelling in my legs since I stopped eating pretzels so I guess that was the cause of it…and my right foot is showing improvement with wearing the compression socks all the time…I did have to slather myself in pain killers last night and they seemed to have worked and I can use my right thumb again…not much to do today…just the grocery runs and then back on the bike…going to make another vegetarian meal today sine I need to use up the lettuce and celery before it spoils…more later….

Well…had a better day today with getting one ride in downstairs and then two cold rides outdoors into a 20+ mph wind on the way back on both rides…and I am feeling that right now with my right thigh and knee and the left side of my neck that is going to have to be treated tonight…it was supposed to get to almost 60 today but it never got out of the 40’s and my left ring finger turned white on the first ride and I’m not sure if it’s the cold or just that my hands go numb all the time even when it’s warm….I did go vegetarian for dinner tonight with just making half a head of broccoli in the steamer…and that’s only about 150 calories so I know I’m under normal with only having half a brat for lunch…have a lot of stuff to get at Meijers tomorrow sine they have the 7 items for a buck each…5 pounds of potatoes for a buck or some Lenders frozen bagels for a buck and laundry soap for buy one get one free…oh, and bacon wrapped pork tenderloin fillets for a buck each…so I’ll get a few of those….still have too much food in the freezer but do have a little room…time to read….
