Yep…this is cheating…

Well…as I said yesterday, with the clowns being out of Washington, I really haven’t had a lot to write about but I am going to continue to cheat so I don’t get behind and have to do a bunch of these in one day…I did take the bike out with the new repairs and so far so good….no cracks in the fiberglass or looseness so I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed…it was nice to have a seat that didn’t move around and change every few feet…that just annoys the hell out of me….and I do like the way the chrome seat post goes with the polished aluminum swing arm…I did just notice that the seat has started to come apart at the seams so I do have to sew that back together…probably will do that right now so it doesn’t get worse…so, no political one today…I’ll really try tomorrow…

August 18th

Well…it was a day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…even started to clean and that is something I’ll continue today…even going to cook today…pork loin with mushroom sauce, carrots and potatoes….but, first, I want to get out on the bike and see how the repair worked…it looks like it is a much better job than the last time and I hope it lasts more than a week….slept okay last night but still no dreams so nothing to report…okay, this one is going to be short for now since I am really want to get out on the bike and see how it works….more later…

Might be cheating….not sure…

Well….it has been a day today and I have been trying to find a topic that would mean something but with no luck…so, maybe I’ll just start and see where it goes…I did have to work on the bike again today and re-do the fiberglass since it had started to de-laminate…this time, I did 5 layers all at once so it will be a monolithic block…and, I went out and bought a new, longer seat post that will take advantage of the part of the downtube that is not cracked…and this post is pretty cool…you can adjust the tilt of the seat that I couldn’t do with the last one…pretty cool…maybe it won’t hurt to ride as much…or pinch the nerves for my legs…haven’t heard from T today and that is really unusual with how it has been going lately…oh, well…I’ll live through it…I did get to see the first Man U game today since it was on NBC and not NBCSN…but, I’m not planning on even looking for them anymore…cold turkey will be better since most of the rest of them will be on the stupid channel….I did get to watch a couple of races today so that was cool…and I did get the start of the cleaning done that I will continue tomorrow so I feel good about that, too…not much else to say right now….okay….maybe this one was cheating…but, with the entire government on vacation…no one is doing anything stupid…

August 17th

Well…running normally this morning and need to get this one done before I get out on the bike….it was an okay day yesterday but I don’t remember who won at pool so I won’t comment on that…slept okay but that is all there is to report on that…no dreams to speak of but I haven’t tried to remember them lately…I so need to get going to get on the bike….not much to do today…I am going to watch a couple of races and try to get the kitchen floor done but I don’t have to cook today so that will make it easier…pork loin tomorrow so that will be something to look forward to…more later…

August 16th

Well…running a little late this morning and it is just that I don’t need to be in a hurry on Fridays…it’s a no work out day so all I have to do is get on the bike in a few minutes…I do have to do some repairs to get the squeak out again but that takes about a minute so I can just take it easy…it was a good day yesterday with a long HH with T and lots of laughs and the car has just been transformed with the clutch fix…just so much more fun to drive now that it shifts right…slept okay, too, and that is a big plus…I did get out to Target and picked up an all in one printer yesterday…a wireless printer, scanner, copier for only 35 bucks…can’t even buy the ink for that price…pretty cool but I’ve never owned an Epson so we’ll see how that works..not much to do today…out for pool later but that is about it…and another one of these, too…more later…

August 15th

Well…running late again today and there is no reason for it, really…just wanted to lie on the couch instead…but, I’m here and ready to go now…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the chance to take the Miata out for a long, top down drive which was fun…I can’t believe how much nicer the car feels with the clutch working properly and no notchiness in the shifter…slept okay, too, so that is a good thing…and I had a little bit of luck taking the bike out yesterday…when I got on it the computer was not working so I stopped to check it out and found the magnetic trigger had come loose and was barely hanging on…if it would have fallen off on the trail, it would certainly have been lost…not much to do today…I do need to get moving to get the workout in and there may be a HH with T later but that is about it….more later…

August 14th

Well…running late today since it is grocery day and that does take some time….what the hell is going on with the weather here in GR? I mean, 47 degrees in August? And only in the 70’s for highs? August is supposed to be high humidity and 90’s as the summer winds down…I hear it is supposed to get back to normal next week so that will be the week to get out to GH. It was an okay day yesterday and I got the car cleaned and waxed but not much else done….I am still so sore that doing anything that is too strenuous is really a pain…I guess I’ll have to remember the ibuprofen in the mornings to try to get the tendon swelling down…slept okay last night and the new tenant upstairs is not an A/C junkie like the last one so that keeps it pretty quiet at night…not much to do today…just the normal stuff of workout, riding the bike, and cooking…the kitchen floor need a scrubbing and I may get to that today…maybe not…more later…

August 13th

Well…it was a kind of strange and depressive day yesterday with it raining almost all day…and it started raining after I was out about a mile on the bike and kept raining the whole way…but, it was warm enough with no lightning so I just kept going….and the bike survived another day of riding with the fiberglass holding up…slept okay last night and it was nice that it was a little cool but I think this is the coldest I can remember it being for such a long stretch in August…it is supposed to be 90 but today will only be around 70 for a high and tonight it will be in the 40’s…strange….not much to do today…more resumes, of course…and cleaning, cleaning….more later….

August 12th

Well…it was just another normal Sunday with tons of vegging and not much else going on….kind of boring when I think about it but it is what it is…and, today is looking like more of the same and that is just not something I’m looking forward to…the only bright spot was the first of the last series of “Breaking Bad” and that was pretty good…slept okay, too, and with only having a half a cocktail last night, I feel okay today and ready to get some things done…not sure what those things are going to be but I’ll try to figure that out as the day goes on….will have to wait to get out on the bike with the rain still coming down or I may even take the day off and let the legs rest…more later…

So far so good..

Well…just a short update after the bike ride…and, if you can’t tell, I’m cheating a little to try to get caught up today…so far so good…I did abuse the bike a little this morning to see how the fiberglass will hold up and the seat is still tight and not flopping around so maybe it will hold up for a while…I do have enough material left to do the whole thing again so if it does break, I can just repair it again…it was a nice morning to be out on the bike, too, so I am starting to feel okay again…on to the news…
