Well..running a little later today since I didn’t get up until after 7 today….and that is a little unusual…slept okay last night and I am wondering why there have been no dreams for months now…oh, well….have been feeling slow with not being on the bike for a week now and it looks like I’m done for the year….winter just started way too early this year and I’m not really happy about that…I did get over 3100 miles in for the year and that makes it a good one….I am going to buy the new bike in January but I still need to take the Motobecane apart and strip the good parts off it….and find a place to store them…not too much room around here….not much to do today…I did clean the kitchen some yesterday and I hope to continue the cleaning today….more later….

Well….running normally for a Thursday…even possibly a little early since it is before 8…it is damn cold out there with the temp only 5 degrees but my car started fine so that was cool…okay, the temp has just dropped to 3…brrrr….slept okay last night and feel pretty good this morning with getting the grocery run done…I’ve never seen my fridge with less food in it than this morning…and that worked out just right since I bought a 9 pound spiral sliced ham and that will keep me going for more than a week….I do need to vary what I’ve been eating…going to make pasta today and may even wait to heat the ham until tomorrow….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I think I do need to clean today…but, coffee first and some news…more later…

Well….running a little early today with wanting to get up to read the news about Alabama this morning…but, I’ll talk about that later today…slept okay last night and don’t feel too bad today so that is a plus….had a nice day yesterday with getting out to have HH with T…it was nice to see her and we had lots of laughs and a good conversation….but that meant I didn’t get anything done yesterday and might not today, either….won’t be going anywhere until tomorrow and that is probably good thing since we are supposed to get 5+ inches of snow today….and it’s supposed to get down to 5 degrees tonight so I’ll have to warm the car up in the morning…way to damn early for it to be this cold but it’s Michigan and almost winter so I guess we’ll just have to endure it….more later….

Well…it’s another day where I have a bunch of thoughts but none of them fleshed out enough to make an entire post…and, with not riding the bike, my time that I use to think is not there…so, you get this mish mash that might even be a little lucid. First, the big deal today is the senate election in Alabama, where a qualified dem is running against a pedophile repub who is not qualified to be dog catcher and the race is too close to call right now….but, I’ve gone off about this before so I won’t go over it again….Space X is going to try to launch a completely used booster and capsule tomorrow around noon and that should be cool to see…this is not the Falcon Heavy that is going to launch Musk’s Tesla roadster but is should still be nice to see the launch and landing. Just read an article that says all of the smart speakers like Alexa constantly listen in to everything going on in the houses where they are installed…and that google and the rest of them actually keep all that data on their servers for some reason…now, I may be a little paranoid but I sure wouldn’t want anyone listening in to my place 24 hours a day…this is one of the reasons I keep the camera on my computer covered with a piece of tape…it has been shown that they can be hacked and used to watch anyone using it…way too creepy for me….more later…

Well…running quite early today with getting up way too early but that is turning into the new normal….feel a little crappy today with my lungs still itchy and coughing some and it looks like I’ll be dealing with this crap all winter…at least it didn’t snow much last night when we were supposed to get 5 inches so getting out today will be easy….didn’t shoot pool yesterday with Tom having a bug so I didn’t win or lose….I am going to get out of here for a while today to meet up with T for a few minutes and that will be fun…I’ve driven my car less than a mile in the past week and I do need to at least get it up to temp…it’s not good for it to have all the short runs….not much to do today…after the meet up with T, it will be just a normal day…maybe some soccer this aft but that is about it…more later….

Well…running a little early today and that’s okay….just to get moving is a good thing…slept okay last night but woke up to all the bedding strewn across the bedroom again…must have had a toss and turn night but I really don’t remember it…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks to be the same with pool this aft…and no bike ride again and that looks like the pattern for the rest of the year….so I will need to work out every day so the guilts don’t take over….I really don’t want to have to get into the calorie restrictions that I know I have to do…it is annoying to only have one meal a day….not much to do today…I am easing into the day with coffee and a little tv…I think I have a problem with my right eye since it has been watering for the past day or so….I know it’s allergies since it stops when I take my allergy stuff…darn…I hate getting older…more later….

Well….running a little early today with getting up at 5:30 and I feel a little crappy today, too….slept okay but just feel slow this morning and the coffee is just not working…have gone back to coughing and have crap in my lungs again and I’m not sure what that is about…I wonder if this is going to be what this winter is going to be….just feeling crappy all winter…it looks like one to be endured already and it has just started….didn’t get out on the bike yesterday and it looks like I won’t today…probably not getting out until later in the week….I think I may start looking for an indoor trainer that I can put the bike on so I can ride inside all winter….that would take a lot of stress off….at least my back is not hurting today….not much to do today….I should clean some and I might…but, there is soccer on all morning and Man U plays City at 11:30 so that will take up the morning…more later….

Well….running on time this morning and wanted to get this done before soccer starts in a few minutes….feel pretty crappy today and have been coughing all morning so I’m not sure what that is about….just got over the last bug and hope it’s not another one….we’ll see after coffee…slept okay last night but got up early again…not sure what early is anymore…I’m always up around 6 or so so maybe that will be the benchmark for early….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but, with the snow today, it looks like I’ll be in all day and will get some things done…..not sure what that will be but it will be something…after coffee and soccer, that is….more later….

Well….was sitting here swimming in guilt from not riding the bike so I thought I’d go out and just take a look at the trails to see how bad they were…they had snow on some of them but were mostly passable…but I was thinking I needed to be really careful being on the skinny tired road bike….but the weird thing was, when I came to snow covered parts of the trail, the bike went through them better than my mountain bike used to…so, through 10 miles out there, it only slid once where the mountain bike would have been all over the place…not sure if I’ll take it out again until next week with the snow that is coming but it was kind of cool to be able to get a ride in today….

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started…but I’m not sure if I need to….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today since I wasn’t good last night for the first time in 4 days…..didn’t ride the bike yesterday with the snow and it looks like today will be another one without the bike…I’m already feeling guilty about that and need to get into calorie reduction mode now…so, I’ll be down to one meal a day from now until spring and that is a little annoying…but necessary….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I need to do a few things today…need to get the winter clothes out and put the summer ones away but I’m not sure if I’ll do that today….think I may just take the day off and veg….just like most days….not much to do today…I should clean and I might and I have a chair full of papers that need to go to recycling so that might be a project for today….more later…..
