Got my CD Mix of the Month discs today. Cool stuff. listening to the second for the second time now. Josh’s, as usual, was 90% unfamiliar territory, but excellent. Pepperspray from ifishery was 90% familiar, but nicely but together. Great month and once again I feel I’m not worthy of being in the little club.

I don’t have the typical gripe about the 15 clocks I have to change. I’m sure some folks have more, some less, but all just as aggravating. I don’t like it for the same reason I don’t like fall as a season – it means winter is coming. Cold wood floors, dry, itching skin, top up on the convertable…
Only left the house to go to Zaxby’s for lunch and Kroger for grocery shopping. Spent most of the day reading Q is for Quarry, now excuse me while I go finish it….

Went for a bike ride for the first time in about a month. Just 15 little miles around town and now my butt hurts. I’m not tired or anything, just my sit bones ain’t used to it no more. How the mighty have fallen, as little as 5 years ago a 60 mile day in the saddle would bring not a wimper from any part of my body, as they say, “Use it or lose it.” I’ve lost it.
Had our Miata Club’s Halloween Party tonight. The club has roughly 66 members and 8 people came. The total attendance was 10 because of the hosting couple’s presence. When the hosts first volunteered to hold the party they originally intended for it to be a costume party, but backed off because they were afraid it would hurt attendance. Ha, attendance, guess we should have required costumes. As it turned out 2 couples came dressed up anyway (Donna and I were not one of them.)
Started up, went down, went up, back down, still down.

Stumbled onto Robocop last night and started watching it. When they went to a commercial I starting surfing again and realized what cable channel I had been on, AMC. Am I losing my mind or did American Movie Classics use to show movies with out commercial interruption? And now they have commercials! Well even if I wrong about the commercial thing, I still have a rant here, Robocop is not a Classic….
Changed the oil and rotated my tires this evening after work. Mazda recommends an oil change at every 7500 miles, which is probably OK for someone who is going to trade in that car after 3 years. I hope to keep the car for a lot longer than that, so in the beginning I decided to double that frequency. I change the oil (and rotate the tires while I’m at it) every 3750 miles. That number is hard to figure in my addled mind, so I now use the valve train clatter as an indication of the need to change the oil. Miatas are known for HLA noise and mine seems to show up after 3,000 miles or so. After a few mornings in a row when it takes to the end of the block for the lifters to quiet, I go buy some oil.
