SP/SW! Podcast! FBCD! Bike! ACX! 8.22.18

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:31 pm  

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning. It’s a way of life!


Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Negativity Sux.” Powerful stuff.

Went to FBC Doraville to meet up with my friend Austin Andrews.

We were supposed to talk about bringing a team soon and plans for next summer. His truck broke down and that wasn’t possible. Too bad.

Also Penelope was throwing up so Miles came home to help take care of her. Ashley didn’t want any kids around when Penelope might be contagious, so we didn’t do the mission today. Missed seeing the girls and the kids!

Carpenter came back to my house to replace boards. Sadly, he forgot to paint the boards before he left. That’s not zesty. Can’t put gutters up on unprimed wood. Stupid.

Came home to do a long 19.32 mile bike ride, since I had some extra time.

I did some intermittant measurements. I have a long loop that is this far.

Two more short loops is this far.

I always enjoy crossing the Yellow River.

Every time I cross that river I think of an old joke we used to tell in elementary school. It’s the title of a book. “Yellow River” by I.P. Freely. I didn’t say it was particularly funny. Just memorable. Who would have ever thought I’d live by Yellow River?
I counted six hummingbirds this evening! How my heart leaped for joy at that! No wonder my feeders keep getting emptied. I’m pretty sure I filled them Sunday!

I also got some new bee guards.

They’ve stopped those monster bees from scaring off the hummingbirds. Still shocks me to think about that.
Noticed some mushrooms growing in the front yard.

I got more information from the Help Desk at ACX. They are the company that handles the files for Audible. I was able to move up the new file with the Dedication/Copywrite and Introduction to it’s proper location. HOPEFULLY, everything will be ok now and the audio book will be up for sale! AMEN!

They’ll send me a notice one way or the other soon.
