October 20th

Well…running a little late today and it is just because I have no motivation…it was a really bad day in sports yesterday with the Tigers and the Wings both losing…the rest of the day was okay but a little depressing as the end of the month approaches….slept okay but still feel a little run down…the bike ride yesterday was cold and wet and it took me almost an hour after getting back here to thaw my hands…and, it had gone over from cold to pain which is not what I can do again…so, it looks like gloves today if I go out…but, I am going to wait until later on….not much to do today…just going to veg out for a while and take it easy…more later…

October 19th

Well…running about on time today and I’m not sure why that is…I am waiting for the temp to come up so I can get on the bike in a few minutes and it looks like it is still going to be a cold ride…oh, well….it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool but 3 games in two hours? I am still laughing about that one….and, I picked a huge puffball mushroom from Tom’s yard, took a nice thick slice of it and sauteed it in butter and garlic…I was sitting here all night wondering if I was going to die from it but it tasted good and I’m still here so it must have been okay…going to cook more of it today in egg, flour, and parmesan cheese…should be good…not much to do today…it looks like a sports day today with football, baseball, soccer and races…so, I need to get the bike ride in pretty soon…more later…

October 18th

Well…it was another depressing rain day yesterday but I lived through it…but, I feel pretty crappy today with having cocktails last night…but, I am going to stay with only two nights of cocktails this week…so, I will feel better after tonight…the Tigers disappointed me with another loss and they are one away from going out of the playoffs….oh, well…but the Wings won and ended Colorado’s winning streak so that was good…didn’t do much yesterday and even skipped the bike ride with all of the rain…and it looks like it will be a late ride today since it is only 40 degrees outside right now and I do not want to get the gloves out yet…not much to do today..it is a pool day so that will be fun but nothing else is going on….I do feel good that I got caught up yesterday and I will try to not get behind again today…might give me something to do as I wait for the temp to come up…more later…

October 17th

Well…running late this morning, again, and part of it is the grocery run…and part of it is commenting out at Kos…had to do a cheers and jeers this morning and almost forgot to come back here for this one…yesterday was a really, really down day for me with the rain and darkness all day…and the funny thing is I used to love those kinds of days…and today looks like a repeat…going to skip the bike ride since the rain has started and the radar looks pretty ugly for the next few hours…but, the legs have been really tight lately so a day off might not be too bad…slept okay last night and I am really starting to like no cocktails at night…I feel the best I have in a long time today but that might be I ate enough yesterday….not much to do today..I am still going to do the weight work this morning and then get some stuff done around here…might go out for a couple with G later and then there are both Wings and Tigers on tonight so that should keep the boredom at bay…more later…

October 16th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but an electronic failure had me running out to replace some necessary equipment…but, got that done so everything is back to normal…or as close to normal as my life ever gets…got the chance to go over and see the youngest son’s new house and it is really nice…that’s pretty cool…and it is three minutes from here….slept okay last night and another no cocktail night has me feeling like I have a bit of energy today…but, that usually ends after the bike ride so we’ll see today…the Tigers really stunk up the joint yesterday and I don’t think they are going to make to the WS…but, the Wings won so that was a good thing…not much to do today…I do have to catch up here so that is the goal for the day..and, with the big court decision coming this aft on the gay marriage ban here in Michigan should give me at least one topic for later…and I will have to do one on ole Boehner’s failure as a speaker…and as a person for that matter….more later…

October 15th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and with it being a no cocktail night, I feel pretty good this morning…I wonder if I need to make every night a no cocktail night? That will be something to think about…didn’t sleep well…but, I will take that over feeling like crap all day…and, I am going to the youngest son’s house for the Wings game tonight so that is something to look forward to…even bought beer….and I did have a nice lunch with T that always raises my spirits…I did freeze my butt off on the bike yesterday but I am not ready to go full thermasuit yet…or even to wear gloves…I even put the top down on the car going out to lunch while I was still shivering….but I just had to…it LOOKED warm…not much to do today…the normal routine and then the Tigers play at 4…and I do have some errands to run so that will be something…more later…

October 14th

Well…it was just another day yesterday with football and baseball in it…and a lot of boredom…but, I survived it to get to another Monday morning…didn’t get anything done so that adds to the malaise but I hope to do better today…not sure how….slept okay and the heat came on for another night and it looks like fall is here…not a thing I wanted to see….not much to do today…might have lunch with T but I’m not sure yet…and then the regular stuff….more later….

The wooly bear slalom…

Well…was going to write this one yesterday but the malaise that has settled here prevented that…but, I hope today is different so here goes….it has been so funny on the trail with all of the wooly bear caterpillars that have been crossing it lately…I wonder where they are all going? Oh, that’s not it….the funny thing is that I have been trying to miss them as I ride since every one that is killed means one less butterfly next summer….so, it has been a slalom as I miss them…and, I feel good that I have not run over one of them this year…it does look a little weird with me moving all over the trail; dodging things that can’t be seen…the really funny thing is that I found myself doing the same thing in the car the other day….I’m not really sure how I can see a little caterpillar at 50 yards out but I was doing it on the way out to pool…yep, I’m weird…but you know that…

October 13th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday…yeah, I say that a lot, what am I supposed to say? That the day sucked and I wanted to jump off a cliff? Nope…not that much drama…it was a good sports day but Michigan lost so that was not a good thing…but, the Wings won and they looked okay but not good…slept okay but I am still exhausted so there is something going on…might have to try staying up much later to see if that helps….didn’t really get anything accomplished yesterday except getting some stains out of the carpet and washing the towel I use under the bike to catch the crap that drips off it when it’s wet…and, it look like the lack of ambition is going to bleed over into today….but, there are no races or anything but football to watch today so maybe there will be a nap for the aft…who knows?

October 12th

Well…it was an okay day yesterday and I won at pool so that was good….and the drive back here was nice…the car is just running so good and it makes me smile every time I get into it….I wonder when that will end? Slept okay, I think, but I am still tired so maybe it wasn’t so good…..I have been worn out all week and I am getting really, really tired of it…get that? Tired of it….bad humor at 9 in the morning….I am looking forward to today with all of the sports going on…Michigan, the Tigers and the Wings all play today along with a race tonight so at least I won’t be bored…at least I hope not…I am making another pork shoulder today and need to get it in the oven before I get out on the bike…and that is about all I have to do today other than cleaning a little…and, I mean a little…not more than a half hour today…then, total veg for the rest of the day…going to skip the Miata club today…there is a color tour drive but they planned it to go to the south where there won’t be any colors….would rather just hang here and do my own in a couple of weeks…more later…
