Podcast! Run! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:48 pm  

Woo Hoo!

I always enjoy recording podcasts!
p

Here’s my newest effort “Fall Awake NOW!” Ever wondered how much of your life is running on auto pilot? We are creatures of habit. There is a wonderful world out there, but we have to Fall Awake to see it!
fr

Went for a 5.57 mile run this morning. Felt great.
rt

Really easy and pain free. It’s a good thing. And always something to see.

The clouds were amazing to me.

Went to Lowes to pick up new white boards for the mission. It’s waterproof sheeting that’s used for shower stalls. Also works great as a dry erase marker board. So we got one big one and eight small ones.
d
Drilled holes then screwed a plastic holder into the drywall. Then screw into that holder.

One at both ends of the room.

Ashley was absolutely right to urge us to get them up. I know that they’ll be helpful for the ESL classes too.

Also changed a CFL lightbulb today. It was kind of dim. I’ve never seen one do that before.

Enjoyed working with the kids at the mission.

I brought my Perplexis EPIC puzzle to the mission today. The kids are fascinated by it. Me too! It was rated as the #1 new toy of the year this year.
d

I hate the time change. I don’t like it getting dark earlier. First day of it is always the worst for me. It just seems when I come home in the dark, I’m coming home later.
Hard to hold the camera absolutely still. Know which planet this is? It’s really bright in the Southern sky around dusk.
d
This shot always reminds me of Africa.
s
I go outside every day looking forward to seeing that golden sun streaking through those trees and being reminded of Nairobi.

Marco! Polo!

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:49 pm

They had books and maps over 500 years old.

The Oriental and European versions of Marco Polo.

Hmmm.

I thought that was in Waco.

Always fun to see the dinosaurs!

But the most beautiful were the TREES! I love the bright colors against the cobalt blue sky.

How many Mr. Tims do you see?

Kathy and I are sharing a car. The Chrysler is getting the valve gaskets on one side redone. Glad that J was able to take me around!

I got him an ecosphere as a belated birthday present.
s

Never too much Jesse.

Had to pack the old modem up and send it back to Comcast via UPS.

K and I worked on setting up and using her new blood pressure tester that Jesse bought her.

Went to Walmart to buy her some music.

There is a CD player in the Expedition that has become her car.

Jesse! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:00 pm  

Had a fun day with Jesse today. We enjoyed Red Robin then went to Walmart to pick up the last of his costume. He’s going as Ian Malcome from Jurassic Park.

At Walmart they have a new system where you can scan your own stuff and then they have a device that reads your phone and checks you out.
d

We picked up J’s car. We think it was a security button that may have been causing the problem. Our mechanic told us how it work. Easy, once you know how.

Then dropped my car off. Check engine light went on again.
d
The check engine light should be in the shape of a dollar sign. $

The kids didn’t have much homework so we got an early start on the candy throwing, always a crowd favorite.

I don’t hand it to them I toss it to them.

Labels! Newsletter! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:38 pm  

This morning I got the labels for the newsletter together.

Went to my mechanic. The check engine light was on in my car. He worked on it and the light went off. He told me that if it came back on then I should bring it back. Later it came back on.

Went to the Post Office to pick up stamps.

To the mission to do the labels and help them with their homework.

Run! CIBC!

Tim A. Cummins @ 4:28 pm  

Took care of the bills.

Saturday I hiked around Stone Mountain. Went about 1.64 miles. I’ve been sneezing some and my ears feel kind of stopped up, so I figured I’d better take it easy on the exercise. Although it still made my legs tired!
t

Always something interesting to see.

Horizontally growing trees.
