Portuguese! Podcast! Deck Prep! Bike! Patreon! Painting! 9.30.17

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:06 pm  

Studied Portuguese future conditionals this morning.

Still learning every day!

Enjoyed recording a new podcast this morning!

LOVED this one called “Time Lying and MEmories.” It’ll release soon! Verbal Surgery -499-. Wow! That’s a lot of recording!

Spent time working on my Patreon page.

Ever heard of that? I am an early adopter. Believe it or not, at one time I was in the top 1,000 people on Twitter! I had a blog before people even knew what a “blog” was. I had to explain it’s a “WeB Log.”

Patreon is a subscription service where people can sponsor creative people. I’ll be offering special editions of my podcast as well as one on one coaching. All as a way to make some extra income.

I’ve been working on FaceBook. My goal is to hit the 5,000 friend mark. I’m over 3,600 now. I had 1,986 downloads of my podcast this month. SO close to 2K! All this social media is part of my strategy to raise support. We had over $1,000 given because of email and FB requests. First time we’ve ever tried!

Prepped my deck for a second coat. Washed it off.
Scrubbed it with a broom.
Then let it dry.
Watered my plants outside.
Cleaned off my outdoor furniture. I’ll spray paint them tomorrow.

Blew my garage and driveway.


Went to Lowes to buy a few little supplies I needed including a new ballast for a light for one of my aquariums.

Paid bills.

Rode my bike 15.50 miles.

During my ride, I took a short break to pick up trash on the side of the road. Hate litter!

Looked better! It was everywhere! Second time I’ve cleaned this stretch lately.

Came home and painted the deck for the second time. Might as well. Had nearly a whole gallon left!

I love mushrooms.


I’ve never seen black mushrooms before.

Cool colors.

Watered my plants in my front and side yards.

I usually refill my hummingbird feeders on Saturdays. They all had plenty left. Only one reason for that. They’ve headed back to Texas. Believe it or not, they may go all the way to Costa Rica during the Winter! I’ll miss them. I leave those feeders up the whole year. I’m hoping I may see some other species come through on the way South.
Very productive day.
