Well…running a little late today but not too late…it was an okay day yesterday and I did get the bike repaired but I’m not sure how good of a job I did…that will show in a minute when I take it out for a ride….doesn’t look too good but I I’m more into function so that’s okay…slept okay last night but with it being a cocktail night, I feel a little crappy today…but I think I ate enough yesterday so that won’t be compounding it and I should have good legs for the ride…if the bike holds up, it will be a long one today….not much to do today…I was going to wash the car but I think I’ll wait until tomorrow…or maybe today, who knows….more later…

Well…it was a long and interesting day yesterday and I even won at pool for the first time in over a month…and put the 8 ball in on the break to win the week…something that I never do…so that was fun and then out with K for a couple after I got home…and I made a little cash so I have groceries for another week….slept okay last night, too, so, all in all, it was a pretty good day….I am feeling a little crappy today, though, and I think it’s the allergies that are kicking in since my head is plugged up and hurting…oh, well…not much to do today…I do need to clean the car since there is a film on the inside of the windows again and the really bugs me…and I do need to clean this place up, too, so there will be things to do today…and I do need to do a couple more of these to get caught up….

Well…running late today since I just didn’t feel like doing this until now…and I’m not sure if I feel like doing it now…but, I will…it was an okay day yesterday and I got a bunch of stuff done…had to clean up the hornets nest mess and get rid of a bunch of stuff from my storage area and I also re-bled the clutch with the tool that I bought to do it…much, much better actuation now and I think I may finally be able to stop thinking about it…and the trans shifts much better, too, so that is a big plus….I still have the pain from working on the car, though, and it has gotten so bad that I am taking ibuprofen all day…but, I think some of it is just the tendonitus that I have been chasing all summer…it’s gotten so bad that I can feel the tendons working in my left elbow when I make a fist…oh, well….not much to do today…I am going to take a long bike ride since there is no wind and it looks just gorgeous out there and then pool this aft….and the Lions play a preseason game tonight so I may watch some of that…more later…

Well…it was a long day yesterday and I feel really, really sore from the work on the car…finding new spots that hurt and I can’t figure out how I hurt some of them…don’t remember hitting my head but I have a bruise on it that couldn’t have come from anything else…slept okay last night but I am still quite worn out and today looks like another low key one…I do have to clean up the patio from the hornet mess and continue cleaning out the storage unit….but, I don’t really feel that motivated…I am a little curious to see if I did get the clutch bled right…that should show on the way out to get the papers this morning….not much to do today…I am going to slow clean all day and just try to get a few things done….more later…

Well…there are a few things happening in politics, but I wanted to share this first…maybe a political one in a few minutes…sitting here at my computer this morning, I noticed a bunch of hornets flying around on my patio and going into a small crack behind the door of my storage unit….well…there were more than a few and when I opened the door and took out some stuff, I found a nest of hornets…I think they are bald-faced hornets…I sprayed them with my bug killer and have been fighting the returnees ever since…I think I’ve saturated the nest and the eggs enough to where the rest of the ones coming back will land in the poison and then slowly die….and I can get my patio back from the damn things…then I’ll need to clen out my storage unit so I can put the blizzaks in and get them out of my living room….more later…

Well….it was an interesting day yesterday with finally getting the car fixed and it appears it IS fixed…took it out to Meijer this morning and it is finally linear like it is supposed to be….was supposed to be really hard to bleed but I think it was quite easy…but, there was much damage to muscles I don’t use in that way…and climbing under a car at my age is starting to get to be a pain, too…almost quit in the middle of the job when I couldn’t get the bolts out…the rest of the day was just licking the wounds and cooking some….and it looks like the rain has stopped so I will be able to get on the bike….but, I need to take some pain killers to make it palatable….not much to do today….need to kind of lay low for a while since I am running out of cash…but I did spend a couple of bucks on Powerball tickets for tonight…over 400 million bucks…a win would be nice…more later…

Well…no political one today since I have been working on the car for a couple of hours and I am dirty, sweaty and worn out…mashed my finger, too, which makes typing a pain, too. As you know, I’ve been having some problems with the clutch actuation on the car for a while and yesterday, on the way over to meet G, the thing was barely releasing; starting just an inch or so off the floor and just so inconsistent….so, this morning I decided to check everything out and found that the clutch slave cylinder was leaking into the boot which means it needs to be replaced asap….so, i bike over to the zone and got a new one for 20 bucks, got back here, and found that I didn’t have the 12mm short socket I needed to get the bolts out, so back to the zone for the socket and then it was going well until the vacuum pump I bought specifically for this job wouldn’t pull a vacuum so I had to bleed it the old fashioned way for one person….pump the pedal up, then take a piece of angle aluminum I had laying around and wedge it between the pedal and the seat to hold it…then walk around to open the bleeder, and repeat 5 times until no air…seems to be okay but we’ll see tomorrow when I take it out….until then…it’s break time…

Well…I survived the internet outages that have been happening here since Sat and I am going to blame that for not getting caught up yesterday…it would come on for a minute then shut off for three, then repeat the cycle over and over…it appears that it is fixed since I have been able to connect with the phone all morning….had to walk out to the car to get my e-mail yesterday and that is a pain…it was an okay day yesterday with going out to have a couple with G but the clutch is getting really funky on the car so it looks like I’m going to have to bleed it when it stops raining…I did open the power bleeder that I bought at HF a few weeks back and it looks like it will be easy when I get to it….probably not just air in the system so I’ll probably have to replace the master cylinder….not a big job….feel pretty crappy today and I know it’s from not eating, again, but there is no food here so I’m not sure I can fix it today….not much to do today…just need to get the normal stuff done and then figure out what else…more later…

Well…it was just another day yesterday and, as you can see, I didn’t come back for another one so that makes me 4 short already for the month so I will have to get moving today…just haven’t been feeling it lately…like my brain is not working very well and I just can’t make any sense…but, I will keep trying and see what happens…slept okay last night…not as well as I have lately but okay…and there were dreams that I don’t remember but at least they were there…I think I still have the bug a little since I am still coughing but I’m hoping it gets better today…not much to do today…I do have a few errands to run this morning and then back here to try to get a bike ride in before the rains come…might make it but the storms are already at the edge of the lake so I may get rained on…and it is not warm enough for that….more later…

Well…it was an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much with recovery from the small bug I had taking up much of it…have been feeling better as the days go by so I have hope today will be better and I will even accomplish something…am still coughing, though, and I hope it’s not allergies since I don’t want to start taking allergy stuff again….I do want to get out on the bike early so I am going to keep this short…the damn thing started to squeak again so I need to find that before I go out…more later…
