Well…damn, it only 38 degrees out there so that puts everything on hold until it warms up…and 38 degrees halfway through May? Still doesn’t feel like there is spring here yet and that sucks….idiots out here started up with their thump, thump bullshit yesterday morning at 8:30am so I had to make a noise call and that is pushing me to selling this place and getting the hell out of this shitty city….and that is too bad since I generally like it here and I will miss Lake Michigan…okay, the heat is on in the middle of May and that is just wrong….need to go out to the bank this morning to pay my credit card bill since they didn’t send one to me this month and it’s just one more little pain that I don’t want to deal with…I may swing through Meijers and Aldi’s to pick up their ads since I didn’t get the local paper this weekend…I could read them online and I may do that…we’ll see…not much to do today….it’s 7:20 and I can’t go to the bank til 9 so there is going to be some waiting this morning…and I’m not good with waiting….need to mow the lawn today but that won’t be til this afternoon with how wet it is….man, I’m tired…more later…

Well…man, I’m feeling so worn out today that it is going to be a struggle to get out on the bike today…I did get out to do a second ride but late in the day yesterday…it’s a bit strange to go out at 5:30 in the afternoon when there are lots of people on the trail…got up at 6:23 this morning but I feel like I didn’t sleep at all..what the hell is it with warts? Had one on my foot and now I have another on my left hand that I’m going to have to treat…weird…can I take a day off? I need to ride an extra 150 miles this week to make up for being off the bike for 5 days starting next Monday and 30 of those can be today if I drag my butt out and get on the bike…okay, there is no if…I’ll get out in a bit but I need more coffee first…didn’t get much done yesterday but plant some plants in the garden that the fungus is trying to destroy….need to treat it again today but that will be later…not sure what the food will be today but I have some leftover chicken and then I’ll look in the freezer for the second one…I do have some cheddar in the fridge so maybe I’ll make some chips and cheese for later…we’ll see…more later…

Well…the rain stopped this morning so I decided to get on the bike for at least one run today…but, if I get bored, I may get out later after the xfinity and Indy car race later…my right Achilles was stiff and sore all the way out to the beach and it is still sore right now…but it was nice being able to take the long sleeve t-shirt off for the run back from the beach…have been treat a plantar wart on the bottom of my foot for a couple of weeks now and I appear to be making progress with it…I can almost walk without pain so I need to keep treating it for another week or so….but right now, I just want to watch some of the race and veg a bit…

Well…damn, it’s raining out there so I guess today is going to be my day off this week…up at 5 and out of bed before 7 since I was thinking that I was going to have to get on the bike by 7:30 to get two rides in by 10 when Man U plays…had a pretty crappy day with having to make 3 noise calls with the assholes to the north going after it again yesterday…and I am going to keep calling until they do something about it…and that colored my whole day and slid me into depression at the end of the day…pretty worn out today and sore everywhere again and I haven’t done anything to cause that…I think it’s sleep pain again and I don’t know what I can do about it…just got a “temps plummet” notification on my lower banner and I think we’re going from highs in the upper 70’s to mid 60’s and I’m okay with that…I’m giving up on the garden this year since I’m losing all of the tomatoes and peppers to fungus even though I treated them and I am just worn out trying to get it going…not much to do today…don’t have to cook with the leftovers in the fridge and the rain will keep me off the bike for a while…Man U plays at 10 and I think I’ll just sit here til then…more later…

Well..it was supposed to be warm enough to go out on the bike in a t-shirt this morning but it’s only 53 out there and that’s no where near it…and there is rain coming in so I need to gulp the coffee and get out of here in the next 23 minutes to be able to get a ride in before the rain gets here…or do I just take it easy and relax for a change? Ha, that made me laugh…that’s not going to happen…I almost made it three days in a row of getting out of bed at 6:23 but didn’t get there…up at 6;07 today and I’m feeling pretty beat up with the normal pains and now adding sunburn on top of it…didn’t get anything done yesterday but I need to get the chicken thighs seasoned early so I can cook them today…not sure what I’m making with them but I have too much food in the fridge right now…I have a temps plummet warning on my lower banner right now and I am so tired of the cold…going to be 80 today and then down to 61 and that sucks…at least it’s not going to freeze…I think I have fungus in the garden sine the leaves on some of the tomatoes and beans are turning white so I treated them with the antifungal that I bought last year….not much to do today…just need to get on the bike before 7 to beat the rain and then I’m going to cook for lunch…not sure why since I can’t taste anything anymore…but I do need fuel…more later…

Well…just a short one to say I’ll be late getting to a political one today…I’m going to the beach here in a minute to get my first sun of the year…it’s already 71 and it’s only 11:30…just need to have some lunch and load up the cooler….first time of the year…

Well…I wonder when I started to consider getting out of bed at 6:37 sleeping in? I really did think that it was later than that but I knew that I was up and there was no point in trying to sleep more…had an okay day yesterday and got a few things done but today is going to be a little easier with not having to cook after making the lasagna yesterday…I do have to get out and put the weed and feed on the lawn here in a few minutes but I need the coffee to work first…and I need it to warm up before I can get on the bike…it’s only 46 right now and I need it to be 52 or so….man, I’m worn out today….and I am sitting here trying to get moving but I feel like I’m old…I am but damn, not this old….I do need to make up some rub for some chicken thighs I’m going to make in the air fryer but that won’t be til tomorrow…going to try to make some potato wedges at the same time with the spices I have….but that would mean having two meals and I’m not sure I can do that….and I can’t taste anything so what’s the point….sure hope that it’s the mouth infection that’s doing that…I have a hard enough time eating the calories to support the bike rides…not much to do today…just the yard work and the rides…feeling pretty depressed this morning and I hope it passes as I get moving….more later….

Well…darn, it appears that every day is a busy day now…worked on stuff all day and I am just now getting done after dinner…did the grocery runs and got lots of stuff from DD including boneless skinless chicken thighs for 1.60 a pound so I bought 5 lbs to fill the freezer…got a 20 oz package of black forest ham for 3 bucks and a pound of summer sausage for 1.99…so I have plenty of food to go with the lasagna I made for dinner…after the run, I got on the bike for two rides that were pretty good with very little wind today and being able to go out in just a t-short and shorts…then I got the laundry done and planted all of the rest of the veggie seeds next to the house in the last part of open dirt I have…still need to finish up planting the garden but I’m going to wait a while for that….going to mix some tomatoes, beans and peppers in with the flowers along the back of the house…I’m not sure what it going on with the garden but the tomatoes I planted earlier this week are starting to die so I may have a fungus or something so I do need back that up  with planting somewhere else…I even used potting soil to put the tomatoes in with so I have no clue….need to have the grass wet when I put the weed and feed on so I’ll do that in the morning before the grass dries out….so it will be another busy one tomorrow…of course…

Well…running a little late today with not getting out of bed til after 7 and I am worn out…had to make another noise call last night and I am getting damn tired of it…two frickin years of this crap…I think the worst people in the world live here….I decided on a plan for the leftover plants in the cups last night along with the leftover seeds, and I’m going to plant them all in the bare corner at the back of the house…every flower and veg seed that I have in the packets…that may be fun to see what comes up if anything does…but I need to get the weed and feed on the lawn first…not sure how much energy I have to do another work day like yesterday but I do know I need to get the two rides in today first…and my credit card bill didn’t come so I have to stop at the bank this morning to pay that…DD has boneless, skinless chicken thighs on sale for 1.60 a pound so I’m going to head over there later to pick up 5 pounds for 8 bucks…need to find some recipes to use them…I wonder if there is a chicken/sausage recipe that I can use? Not much to do today…need to get going for the grocery run here in a few minutes but sure don’t feel like it right now….I’m getting old…more later…

Well…man, it’s been another busy day today with getting the two rides in, making lunch, then edging all the sidewalks, and mowing the lawn…then I jumped in the car to hit Menards for a big bag of weed and feed since I have too many weeds to use the liquid stuff…and it needs food, too with how sandy the soil is up here…even got some beans and peppers planted and moved the rest of the cups outside so I could turn the light off…finally…I have so many extra plants that I am going plant some tomatoes in with the flowers along the back of the house since the garden is not big enough for them….but, I’m leaving them in the cups until they get bigger…maybe a couple of weeks…if everything lives, the garden is going to be pretty crowded this year…
