Well….it was an okay day yesterday and I made a little cash so that was good….slept kind of okay, too, so I’m not sure what is going on….didn’t do much yesterday but the grocery run and some cleaning but I don’t feel bad about that…being broke has a way of depressing you so nothing really sounds good…I am getting closer to the 20K mark on the bike…only 60 more miles to go and that will put it next Tuesday that I will get there…might have to celebrate a little….I am a little down remembering what the 4th used to be like with the big parties and raising a little hell and now nothing really…there will be pool today since I made some cash so that will be fun…and making a delivery late last night got me out to watch the fireworks that people are setting off…it smelled like fireworks everywhere with the top down and that was kind of cool…not much to do today…pool, of course, and then back here for races and soccer….yep, still going to watch the rest of the world cup even though we’re out of it….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get some stuff done on the car so that was good….still waiting to see if the lube of the front end got rid of the squeak…I do think lubing the throttle cable helped..it has idled fine today so far….slept crappy again last night and I have been up since 5 so I will need to compensate for that today…running a little late today since Brian just stopped to chat for a while but, what the heck do I have to worry about…it looks like the weather has cleared up so that will make for a nice ride today…not much to do today…I am going to make some big ribs today since I am just so darn tired of chicken and I have been under eating almost all this week which left me just so tired all day yesterday….will try to fix that today…and I still haven’t made any money so it looks like I may have to skip pool tomorrow unless a call comes today…..more later…

Well…I know it’s only been a few weeks since I reported that I had a new set of speed records on the bike, but today I broke them again and thought I should report that, too. On the downhill pedaling, the new record is 30.6 mph..helped a lot by a 20 mile an hour tailwind and 3 cups of coffee…and that resulted in a new top speed at the bottom of the hill of 34.5 mph….which is really hauling on a bike…at least it is to me…I wonder if I can get to 40 mph by the end of the summer?  Sounds like a goal to me…more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get a few things done so that was good….no more world cup for the US so that is bad but not unexpected….I did have some problems with the car that I need to work on today…the throttle hung up and gave me an idle around 2K for a while but I think that has to do with the cable needing some lube…and I had a squeak in the front that I think will be from the same thing…going to get under it this morning and hit all of the bushings with lube, too….not much to do today…other than the car that is….I am going to clean the bathroom and start getting rid of the unneeded mail….and then I’m not sure…more later…

Well…I guess I used up my political outrage yesterday so I won’t be doing one of those today…haven’t been real motivated today but I did get a few things done….broke, broke, broke again but I did take my broken equipment into the store that I use for supplies and they are going to fix it for just the cost of parts…about 15 bucks since I am a good customer…that will help since the new equipment is just not cutting it…one bad bit of news is that the US lost this aft so there will be no more world cup…I may watch some of the rest of the games if only to just root against Brazil and Belgium….now, it’s almost time to shut off for the day and just veg for a while…so, that’s what I’m going to do…

Well…another month goes by and I am trying to have the US game this aft drag me out of the depression that comes with paying the rent each month…and, I spent the last 2 dollars I had for papers this morning so it looks like it’s going to be a hunker down week with nothing much that I can do…yesterday was okay and I did get a few things done so that was good…but, I have recognized that the new equipment is worthless so I have to figure out how to repair the old stuff and make it work again….not something I really can afford right now…not much to do today…going to just hang out and do the normal stuff while I wait for the game at 4…go USA…..more later…

Well…last day of the month and I am slipping into the depression that always comes with this day…slept okay but don’t really care….it was an okay day yesterday but all I did was watch soccer…no cleaning or anything and that is not what I need to be doing but it is hard to get moving right now…and, I do need to do three more of these today to make sure I hit 60 for the month…but, that will be easy with the last decisions of the supreme court being released in about a half hour…so, I will be back in a few minutes to either cheer or rail against the stupidity of this court…back soon….

Well…the wildlife that I see on the trail has been getting weirder and weirder over the past few weeks with squirrels and chipmunks trying to die under my tires….and today, a deer came out on the trail and just stood there until I was close enough to touch it…then, it just turned slowly and walked away…something I’ve never seen in the years and years I have been out there. I guess it’s not a suicide deer…but weird anyway….

Well…it was just another day yesterday…just like the rest of them and they are now running together so I really don’t know or care what day it is…slept okay but I really don’t care about that either….there was some good soccer on but I was rooting for Brazil to lose and they didn’t….there is going to be a good one with Mexico and the Netherlands on at noon so maybe that is something to look forward to? And the 6 hour sports car race from the Glen so at least I won’t be bored….and I need to do two more of these to get caught up so there will be some thinking involved…hope it doesn’t hurt….more later…

Well…it has been a while since I did one of these about the oddities I see on the trail so it’s about time I did…I’m not sure if it is the weather or what but today was a day for suicide squirrels on the trail…must have had 15 of them run out right in front of me…just like the chipmunks that did it a few days back…I even hit one of the chipmunks but he kept on running so I guess he’s okay…there is a human oddity, too…for the past couple of weeks, I have been seeing a guy walking on the trail with earbuds in reading a book as he walks…not sure if that is something I would ever want to do but I applaud the multitasking…anything else?..Oh, only 110 miles to 20K…probably the week after next….
