Well…just got back from the bike ride and I am pleasantly surprised that I fixed the chain skipping…didn’t do it once and it felt good to be able to go as hard as I wanted in any gear…it was really a pain not being able to do that…so now, it looks like I can wait to get a new one until spring and I get some cash in the bank….one less thing to think about….

Well…running a little early today and I’m not sure why…and I really don’t care….slept okay last night and feel a little slow this morning and I hope that doesn’t affect my workout and bike ride…not too motivated right now but I might be after coffee….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done but watch races….and I may have fixed the bike so that’s something….today looks the same but with the wind already being almost 20 it may be a chore on the bike…still don’t have any back pain and that seems to be a little ominous…I mean, how many times does a back just fix itself? Need to clean some today but that will wait until later…the coffee needs to work and I need to watch more Buffy…more later….

Well…it has really been a strange day…starting with hearing about Walter…and that still is on my mind…cripes, he was only 3 years older than I am…do I have to start worrying about dying now? Going to try not to do that….I did figure out the bike and the chain skipping today so that’s something…the front sprocket is worn out again so I decided to try something…took the sprocket off and noticed that I could reverse it…so I flipped it and put it back on…worked like a champ and now no more skipping in any gear…but now I’m having shifting problems after I cleaned the bike yesterday…lubed it up and it got better so I guess tomorrow will be the test…and it looks like I’ll be able to get to October with this one and then buy a new one after I get my second payment from SS…

Well…running on time this morning since I want to get this done before the F1 race comes on….slept okay last night and feel okay this morning but I do still have that low level bug that is a little annoying with the lung congestion that comes with it…and I do still feel a little warm, too…but it’s not too bad so I guess I can live with it…the bike failed yesterday and now it looks like I’ll be without one for a few weeks until the 20th when I can buy a new one…or, I can get the Schwinn running and ride that for a while….going to try to ride this morning but the chain and sprockets are skipping and it is really annoying….the thing is just worn out and I’m not spending any more money on it…don’t have it to spend anyway….not much to do today…there are three races on today so my day will be pretty much a waste…more later…

Well….man, it’s cold in here with it being only 44 degrees outside…not going to put the heat on yet…just too early for that…I really think I have a bug since I am still coughing and have no energy…so, today is going to be a sports day with Man U, Michigan, and a race on and I am going to veg it out and couch all day…still no back pain and I like that but I feel sore everywhere else…..but, I haven’t had to take anything for it in quite a while so that is cool….not much to do today…I should clean some today and I might but, I might not….it all depends on my motivation….I can’t find it right now….more later…

Well…running late this morning and I think it’s because I slept in until 7….feel a little crappy today and I think part of it is a little bug that I think I have…have been coughing and feeling a little warm so I think it’s either the bug or allergies….had a good day yesterday and I won at pool…the drive out and back was fun but it is a little sad that the summer is over and feels like it this morning…only 47 degrees right now and I am not sure if I go with a sweatshirt or wait for it to warm up….I’m leaning toward waiting with F1 practice on right now and I just can’t get going…..okay…need more coffee and this is getting to be work….more later….

Well….got up feeling kind of slow today and that continues….I did get a small grocery run done but I only had 29 bucks to spend…even went over that by 99 cents….slept okay last night…I think I’m stuck in 2nd gear right now and I’m not sure if that is a bad thing….I did get out to the beach yesterday and got a little burned…and I got my swim in for the year so that is off my mind….but the seat on the bike is still screwed up and it cut my ride short yesterday….hoping I got that fixed so I can do a long one this morning….I do have something to do today….I think we’re going out to shoot pool this aft and it will be good to get out of here for a while….I think I may have a bug or the damn goldenrod is screwing with my allergies…have been coughing and have a sore throat but I don’t feel too bad so I guess I can live with it….more later…

Well..running a little early today with planning on hitting the beach today….have had a swim in Lake Michigan every year since I was 4 and today looks like the last day that will be warm enough for it…it’s only 59 right now but that is warm enough to put the top down on the way out….won’t go to the Tip for lunch sine I’m broke and I have plenty of food here….will probably skip the bike ride today but I may do it when I get back…not sure….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but the normal stuff but I did get out on the bike in the fog and that was cool….still not too sore today and my back is still good so I’ll take that…I have been feeling it crack all the time and that means it won’t hurt….I need coffee….more later….

Well…running a little early today and there’s no reason for it….up at the normal time today and slept okay last night so that was a good thing….and there is fog outside that I want to ride in so I need to get going and work out…but, not right now, need more coffee first…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get much done other than the bike ride and cooking….need to get to GH tomorrow to get my Lake Michigan swim in for the year and I hope it will be warm enough…I have been in the water with it 49 degrees before so I guess it will be okay no matter what….and there shouldn’t be anyone on the beach with it being so late in the summer….not much to do today….going to ease into it today….just can’t get going….more later….

Well…have been reading a little today but none of it had to do with the idiot so I won’t write about him today….I did work on the bike yesterday to clean up the seat post and try to get rid of the squeaks but put it together backwards so it wouldn’t stay adjusted…took about an hour to get that fixed and then got a good ride in…but, I think the bike really needs to be replaced and soon with both the front and rear sprockets wearing out again…and I am not going to spend another 100 bucks to replace them….I did finally get food today and it looks like I have a couple of weeks worth now….and I still have enough cash to get through til the 20 of sept…okay….that’s enough for the day….I’ll be back tomorrow with something topical….
