One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
I kept my appointment with the endodontist on Thursday afternoon despite apprehension about warnings of dire ensuing pain following such a procedure. I figured it couldn’t be any worse than the tooth ache as it existed at the time. It turned out to be a sort of “non-event”. The thing lasted roughly and hour and [...]
Right now I am floating…and feeling pretty okay.
That wasn’t the case just a few short hours ago. On Monday I ended up at the dentist’s office at noon and through some careful “hunting” and checking together we figured out the offending tooth was not the one originally suspected! My far back molar on my left [...]
After finishing up painting last evening, I went to have dinner with a friend at John Boy’s restaurant on Canton Road. That was a mistake.
By the time I got home, my offensive tooth was aching again. I cleaned my teeth real good with the Waterpik and took a Tylenol. I lay down to sleep at [...]
My prospects for the weekend looked dreary, if I were forced to continue fighting this mouth/gum ailment that is worrying me. My emergency dental appointment on Monday involved an exray, inspection of offending area, flush out with topical antibacterial liquid and a prescription for a really nasty antibiotic which is also used to treat Anthrax. [...]
All reports predict another high 90s day today! It wouldn’t be so bad if I felt like riding north and partaking of the nicer, cooler climate of the higher altitudes. However, I don’t, so I’m kind of stuck here at home in the AC nursing a sore mouth. No, nobody whacked me in the kisser. [...]
I feel like singing that old Johnny Cash song…’And the flame’s gettin’ higher..”
I don’t know what causes it, but these things come on me sometimes…and it comes on like a seaside tide….very slowly. I have tried sleeping more. I tried eating better. I don’t know. This morning I have a nagging headache. My eyes burn. [...]
The weather is inarguably the best we’ve had all year, barring the pollen issues.
The Cherokee County Georgia Superior Court judge finally signed my divorce order on Monday… and then I tested one first grader all week who only liked the “B” choice. AND, I think I’m about over the back problem from Spring Break bike [...]
Yeah, over the weekend my sinus/head cold got worse and worse. Good thing I got a sub for today before spring break.
At about 9:00 I felt a little better with the warm weather so I decided to mosy on down to here:
You see, I just needed to undo this:
Now it’s back to work tomorrow for [...]
We don’t usually have much of a spring here, and that was the case again this year. One day it was freezing. The next it was close to 90F degrees! The cherry tree out front has already “fluffed” out white and what little rain we had this past week just knocked all the little blossoms [...]
I have always been warned to use a SHARP blade for cutting things. Do not use a dull blade! A dull blade will get you into trouble fast!
So what do I do? I pick up the closest utility knife blade handy (“Oh!” I thought. “That blade is a bit rusty.”) I go to whack off [...]
