We had about 1/2″ of rain last night.

Got woken up early this morning by Kathy. She told me she had a flat tire and was checking if it was ok to use my car today. No problem.

Later, I walked to where she had left the car and pumped it up with my portable compressor. If you don’t have one of these I highly recommend getting one. They’re great for pumping up bike tires as well as your car tire.

So when I get a flat, I never take off the tire and put on spare. I merely pump the flat tire back up and take it to my tire guys to fix properly. I’d say 90% of the time the tire pumps up just fine. If there’s a blow out, it’s time to call AAA.

Jesse came by after I got home.

I enjoyed taking him out to eat. We went by Goodwill to check on clothes then came on home.

I got my new vacuum and cleaned the house and mopped the floors.

Gathered up and took out the garbage.

Also fixed one of the door knobs. I’ve had a couple lately that needed tweaking.

Then went for a 5.20 mile run. I ran harder than I have in a LONG time. Still not fast, but five miles is a long way.

Enjoyed watching Elementary with Kathy. Working on admin duties now while she gets supper together. I’m feeling a touch nauseated. I hope I don’t have a repeat of the barfing experience I had a couple of days ago.

I liked this poster I saw at Zaxby’s today.

Never too much 3 Stooges.

I always get in trouble for this.

Sent a cassette tape to my friend Pat. We’ve been communicating via tapes for over 30 years. Hard to find tape decks now!

Met up with Ashley and Jesse at Azalea.

We had fun eating Brazilian food today.

Jesse has enjoyed showing us some magic tricks with cards. Cool!

On Thursdays, Ashley and I have been visiting partnering and local churches around the Metroplex. Today we focused on the Marietta area of NW Atlanta. Wonderful to have my kids working with me. My prodigious progeny!

We visited Eastside Baptist Church, First Baptist Marietta and Johnson Ferry Baptist Churches. Had some promising conversations.

Headed to the mission in the rain and terrible traffic. Ended up being about 45 minutes late. Helped the kids with their homework. There wasn’t too much.

I’m proud of my kids.

Jesse and I enjoyed supper together. I bought him a light for the DNA crystal I bought him. It’s accurate to the atomic level.

Enjoyed watching Perception with K. She fell asleep. I got home after 9pm again tonight.

Plenty of admin duties including two days of blogging to catch up on.

Blast from the past.

I agree with this.

Wednesday I enjoyed recording a new podcast! Woot!

It’s an eye opening, listen carefully and FEEL good episode. Check out “See.Hear.FEEL!” One of my best efforts!

Went for a 5.20 mile run. Felt great! I enjoyed seeing the flowers.

Lots of trees are budding. Atlanta is an incredibly beautiful place in the spring!

Weird to see a trunk suddenly veer to the left.

Noticed this mushroom.

I’ve been studying to see which one are edible. The bottom of this mushroom doesn’t have gills. Scientists call these ridges.

ALL of the toxic shrooms have gills. But there are still a series of questions to answer to make sure these are ok to eat. I can’t seem myself eating them, but I still find it interesting.

They are making some big changes on the topography around one of the streams near where I live.

I talked to the construction guys, they said it’s to help prevent flooding and that it’ll look like a series of small ponds. Interesting. I was just sad to see them cutting trees down. BUT I sure was glad it wasn’t a bunch of houses. I love our green space!

I saw this sign in a yard. Who would want to be #00?

After running, I ate a salad at McDonalds on the way to Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in Griffin, GA. That’s about an hour and a half from where I live in Stone Mountain. On the way there I got terribly nauseated. Ended up pulling over a parking lot a barfing a bunch of times. Gross. I sure felt better.

I saw this sign on the way there.

I enjoyed speaking at Mt. Gilead.

They’re some sweet folks. I look forward to them coming to work with us!


I enjoyed hanging out with the preacher! Fred’s a good guy.

They have a graveyard.

I always find it interesting to look at who’s there.

For playing chess?

Weird. Gravesite/parking?

Who would name their kid “Arce?”

Talk about being the butt of the joke.

And this is the main thing the wife remembers her husband for?

Seemed like kind of an after thought.

This one was touching to me.

Got home after 10pm feeling pooped. Saved the blog until Thursday!

I always find signs interesting.
