Birds-eye view of where I live!

The farm is the 3 fields that look like a golf course, plus all the woods which goes back a bit further on the right than what’s shown.  It comes to 300 acres.  If you look southwest of the pushpin tip, there’s a cluster of white buildings nestled in that little corner of trees.  That’s where I live. If you squint really hard, you can see the pond east of the tip.  : )

The Farm

Some days you just have to stop

Maybe it’s the heat that's getting to me, because otherwise I can’t come up with any other excuse for why I’m not being productive.  I’ve had so many opportunities lately, but nothing is getting done.  The thing is, for every day that I don’t meet my goals – I lose money.  But as the honey badger t-shirt says, “DON’T CARE!”  Way too much of me really doesn’t care.  That’s scary.
Hoping tomorrow will be better. 

Feeling like a geezer

Ever since last Wednesday I’ve been so sleepy.  I can be sitting in a chair and wake up whenever wondering when the heck I fell asleep.   Took till today for me to figure it out – it’s taking my bloody meds in the morning.  Lamictol makes me sleepy.  Zanaflex makes me sleepy.  I’m taking them both at the same time.  No wonder I can’t keep awake.  LOL

Meanwhile, Alex the Farting Cat is doing his best to keep me awake – or trying to make me pass out. 

Deadly noxious fumes keep seeping from his butt, which is strategically located directly below my nose.   

Gears, gears, gears

No luck getting my gears working right.  Really close - but sooo far.  Anyway, Bent Rex should be running full speed Sunday, complete with canopy.  : ) 

A gut shabbos and a great weekend!

The Return of Bent Rex!

With Scooter Rex down and in the repair shop, I've had to pull Bent Rex out again.  I've avoided him like the plague because of my right knee being blown out and still giving me problems from a couple years ago when I was nearly taken down by 3 dogs hell bent on killing me.

But now, I don't really have a choice but put the ol' guy back in action.  Out of curiosity today, I decided to pull up my old records from bikejournal.com and see what my best year was and figure out how many miles I've ridden.

2005 - 1,057.57 miles
2006 - 465.86
2008 - 28
2011 - 10.60

Total:  1,562.03 miles  (That's almost as many as I have on Scooter Rex.)

The missing years are ones where I either didn't feel good due to Dystonia or my right knee was too squishy to ride with or the dogs got the best of me and I just didn't see the point in being eaten alive.

What surprised me by the figures was how many miles I managed to pull of in 2005 when I didn't feel all that great.  Can't wait to see what I can do in 2011 or what's left of it.  : )
