Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I finally got a bunch of stuff done that needed to be done…and today looks much the same with errands and lots of work around here…will probably have to wait until the aft for the bike ride since some of the things I have to do are time sensitive…slept okay last night and I’m really not too sore this morning so that is something…Man U is disappointing me again with another loss and I may have to pick a new team to follow…really ruined my day when they lost yesterday….I guess I’ll just have to get over it….not much to do today…no, that’s not true…will be going full speed starting in about an hour so I need to get the coffee down to fuel that….more later…

August 30th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I made some cash so that was cool…not sure how I slept but I feel tired this morning so it must not have been that good…and, I feel a little crappy this morning but I know why that is…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did get a pork shoulder cooked that came out pretty good after brining it overnight…pork usually turns kind of rubbery after brining but this one was really tender….so, I’ll have leftovers for most of the week even though I only cooked half of it….skipped the bike ride yesterday since it rained most of the day and that was good for the legs…they don’t hurt today and it will be interesting to see how they fare on the ride this morning…need to get out soon since Man U is playing at 11 and I want to see if they can continue like they played in Brugge…more later…
August 29th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I lost at pool…put an 8 in on the break so that made it a little better…slept okay but no dreams again..and that is getting redundant…..it looks like I may be able to take the day off from riding today since it is raining and looks like that will continue for a while…I can probably use a day off even though I’m not too sore today…hoping that the guilt won’t drive me to going out later but if the sun shines, I may just take a leisure ride…but, I feel a little slow today and may just sit on the couch and drink my coffee….not too much to do today…I have a pork shoulder in the oven right now at high temp to brown it and then I’m going to cook it low and slow the rest of the way…just trying some new stuff to see how it comes out….more later….
August 28th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but still didn’t get anything done…well…I did get a few things done around here that were necessary but not enough….oh, well…crappy, crappy, night of sleep, too, so I’m a little worn out today…and the cramps in the calves have started already without having been on the bike and that is not good…I did get bananas at the store yesterday and have had one so I’m hoping they will be better before I get on the bike…it’s only 51 outside so I’ll have to wait a while for the temp to come up to go out…but I need to finish the coffee first anyway….one good thing is the soreness in my neck and shoulder is better so that’s something…and, I’m going to make some cash today and tomorrow so there will be groceries for the next two weeks…not much to do today…pool, of course, and an errand but that is about it….more later…
The Hammond B-3 count….
Well…I think Tom will get a laugh out of this one…I have this weird obsession with how many bands/artists have used the Hammond B-3 organ in their songs…just saw another one…watching Crosby, Stills, and Nash on AXS…they have a Hammond…that makes almost everyone..other than Jeff Beck who I saw last week…just kind of funny….
August 27th
Well…running really, really late today and I’m not sure how the morning got away from me…I did have to do the grocery run and put gas in the car but how I got to 9:30, I’m not sure…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few errands run so that was something…but no cleaning that I needed to do and I’m not sure I’ll get to it today…I do have to take G to the airport this aft so that will crimp the day somewhat…have to remember to take a bungee cord to hold the trunk down since I don’t think I’ve seen a suitcase small enough to fit without it….I have the tendon pain in my left elbow now and I am getting tired of the crap moving around like that…just wanted to get through a summer without any but I guess when you start getting old you have to just deal with it….not much to do today…I got a pork shoulder this morning and I’m not sure if I want to cook it today or Sat…but there is not much else to do other than stuff around here…more later…
August 26th
Well….it was an okay day yesterday but it was hard to get motivated to do much…I did get out to have a couple with G and that was only okay…slept okay last night but no dreams again and I may just stop reporting on that….the lack of motivation has carried through to today and I am trying to figure out a justification for not working out or riding the bike today…but, guilt is stronger than that right now so I guess I’ll get going in a minute….I do need more coffee to get going, though….the pain that was in my right tricep has moved to the left one and that is just so irritating….not sure why I’m so sore right now but part of it is that it was pretty cool on the bike yesterday and I never got warmed up enough to make the pain go away…not much to do today….just the normal stuff and coming back here for a couple more of these….more later…oh….only 650 more miles to 25K….
August 25th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but I didn’t get much done…was just in shock about Wall street’s meltdown and couldn’t think about anything else…but, I slept okay last night and that was strange…even with being good last night and the problem is that there is no pattern that I can replicate to ensure that sleep happens…the pain is better today but my left shoulder is still hurting and I wonder if it the moving tendonitis that I have had the past few years…I do have to buy some bananas in the grocery run this week since I have been getting cramping in my calves again on the bike….and it even hurts when I’m not on the bike so potassium is necessary…not much to do today….I will be back here in a minute for another sad one and that will set the tone for the rest of the day….more later….
August 24th
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I got the bike ride in before the rain so that was something…almost took the day off from riding but needed to avoid the guilt so I went….slept okay last night but no dreams again so I have given up on them…not sure if I miss it or not…have to think about that one…didn’t get anything else done yesterday but didn’t really need to so I avoided the guilt there…I do need to vacuum and do a little more cleaning today and it is going to be cool so that will help…have been having a hard time getting motivated but I hope to change that today…still sore in my neck and I think it’s from riding…just stiff, really, not sore and it is starting to get annoying…not much to do today…should clean the glass in the car since I did a pretty crappy job last time and there are streaks that I can see in the morning…more later…
August 23rd
Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get out to look at the cars on 28th street so that was fun…slept okay but I am feeling a little run down today with the allergies getting worse…sitting here watching the F1 race from Spa and I am a little disappointed since this is my favorite track and it’s not much of a race…oh, well…didn’t get much done yesterday and today looks like the same since I don’t really have any motivation to do anything today….not really sore today so that will be good on the bike…I was going to use the rain as an excuse to not ride today but it looks like it will hold off until the afternoon so I will go to avoid the guilt….not much to do today…going to just kind of veg it today and take it easy….more later….
