Really enjoying the Texas Aggies vs Missouri Tigers game, now playing through the 3rd Quarter. When this game ends I'll have the IU Hoosiers vs Northwestern. Go Hoosiers!! And after my afternoon of college football, I'll have the Saturday Night Svengoolie showing a double-feature of scary movies. A pretty good day in the Roscoe-verse.
Oh, that sore tooth is still a bother, but not nearly as much today as yesterday. Thank GOD for that!

Relaxing through this Friday evening, listening to College Football, Houston Cougars vs the TCU Horned Frogs. Nice.
Also nursing a sore tooth that's been bothering me all day. Not nice.

About the only productive things accomplished today were: 1.) hauling the blue recycle bin out to the curb for collection by the city, and 2.) mowing part of the front yard. I didn't tackle the entire front lawn, much of it didn't really need any work. But I got to what needed doing.
NFL football is on my schedule for tonight. I'll be listening to the Westwood One Radio broadcast of the Buccaneers vs the Falcons, kickoff at 7:15 PM. Hopefully I'll be able to catch the entire 1st half of play before I get too tired and have to head to bed.

“In the post-season, every inning feels like the 9th inning.” Heard one of the announcers during one of the MLB wildcard games yesterday make that statement. Can't remember which one, but it doesn't matter. I totally agree. Glad I had a full day of wildcard games to follow yesterday, from early afternoon until bedtime. Looks like today will be the same.
Happiness!

A pretty good Tuesday for this 1st day of October.
I've got MLB Wildcard games keeping me company today. Earlier this afternoon I heard Detroit beat the Astros, and as we move into the evening I've got the Brewers and Mets tied in their game.
One chore that has needed doing for the longest time was taken care of this afternoon. I replaced the battery in my big laptop. Feel particularly good about that.

Easing into Monday night, listening to the Monday Night Football game, Titans vs Dolphins, via the NFL+ app on my tablet.
This has been a quietly productive day. The one “major” chore I try to take care of every Monday is my weekly laundry; took care of it today, no problem.

Making a change in my weight-loss project. This afternoon I hauled the stepper machine (Cardio Climber) back to my room and had a short but good workout set on it. I stepped for 5 minutes and worked up a healthy burn in my quads. Plans are to repeat this several times per day, gradually increasing the length of each set.
Limiting the amount of food I eat will still be important, but boosting my metabolism by exercising regularly while eating healthy foods will be better for me than dieting alone. At least, that's the theory I'm going with now.

A pretty good Saturday, this.
1.) The bathroom scales were kind to me this morning, showing an acceptable weight loss to correspond to my first few days of strict (sort of) dieting.
2.) And I was able to transfer login credentials to 2 of my chess clubs over to my big computer. Now I can do all my chess work on this machine with the bigger screen.
3.) Following college football this afternoon was enjoyable; both teams I follow won their respective games.
4.) I broke down all the cardboard boxes that have accumulated with recent deliveries and loaded them into the recycle bin for collection by the city.
5.) And I filled all my morning and evening weekly pill boxes.
Now I can relax and enjoy tonight's Svengoolie.

Relaxing my way into a comfortable night listening to college football on the radio. I started following the Virginia Tech Hokies vs the Miami Hurricanes, but have switched over to the Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs the Washington Huskies. Plans are to listen to the 1st half of the game then leave it to read for awhile before bed. That's usually what I do.

Bathroom scales were very unkind to me this morning, recording a higher body weight than I've had in a long, long, time. And I'm supposed to be losing weight. So I'm going to have to be really strict about limiting how much I eat now. The wife won't like this at all. She keeps cooking all this food and bringing food home for me to eat.
Tonight I've got two football games to follow, both with good (hopefully) radio feeds. The Army Black Knights will play the Temple Owls, kickoff scheduled for 6:30 this evening. And the Dallas Cowboys will play the NY Giants at 7:15 PM. So... do I go with the earlier college game, or the later NFL game? Decisions, decisions:....
