Portuguese! Car! Bike!

Tim A. Cummins @ 5:27 pm  

Spent time working on Portuguese verbs and conjunctions.

It’s the little words that are often the trickiest to master.

Had a good lunch and conversation with Jesse.

My car is in the shop.

It’s been running rough at low RPMs and the AC would shut down. Turns out the fan needs to be replaced and there’s a small leak in the radiator. We knew about the leak, I kept an eye on it. Hardly anything, but they have to take the radiator out to fix the fan so it’s better to fix it now rather than spend the extra time and money to get it fixed later. Expensive parts racked up a bill of over $900. Ouch.

We changed the windshield wiper fluid in Jesse’s car and checked his tire pressures which were low in a couple of tires.

No go on the mission because of lack of transportation. Not too bad since the kids hardly have any homework. Just a couple of weeks left in school! Looking forward to the Summer Teams!

I talked with one of the youth directors this morning. Helping him find lodging. He’s been one of my favorites so I’m looking forward to working with them again!

Went for a 10.70 mile bike ride. Exercise REALLY helps me feel better. I just get so discouraged some times.

My internet at my house has also been bad. SO frustrating! I’ve had problems over the last few months. Signal just being super weak. Had a tech over today. He gave me a new router, but the problem is still there. I’ll have to call Comcast again and try to see if I can get compensated for all this.

When my car, my computer and my wife are all having problems at the same time that’s a sure sign of spiritual warfare. Sunday we had three kids get saved and two of them want to get baptized! Evil one really doesn’t like that!

Just got a call that the cars were ready. (Jesse’s car developed a problem on the way home! Fortunately, he was near the mechanics. Add another $200 to the bill. Double ouch.

Picking up the car and shopping at Walmart.

You can tell I’m eating healthier.

Admin duties now.

Beautiful flowers at Walmart.
