We took them to the park and then let them splash around in my little blue pool.

Spent time working on Penelope‘s hair. It’s a calming thing to do that.

This is all that’s left from the mushrooms growing yesterday.

Still concerned about the Ministry’s finances. One day at a time.
Rode my bike 15.21 miles. Beautiful clouds. That exercise for an hour and a half really helps me blow off stress. I always feel better after I’ve completed it.

Had a good talk with my treasurer Jon Paul as well as a chat with my friend Rebecca in Georgetown about our financial situation.

I woke up this morning and saw a message from my buddy Anthony. He included a song for me to listen to. Hauntingly beautiful.

I watched a couple of Wired videos of artists that I found absolutely amazing.

I contacted my buddies at Aztec Bike to make sure that they were working on my bicycle, which they were.

Did my brain training and studied Spanish this morning.

Had a good time with the grand girls. They’re so much fun.

Hot today at the park.

I deposited money into the bank. Our ministry is at a financially real low point right now which definitely affected my mood.
![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Family/Grand-girls--Bank--Bike--7-15-20/i-9MphfPJ/0/c46c3f4a/M/2020071522321975-5546703284943627943-IMG_7815-M.jpg)
After I dropped off a squirrel, I went out to Stone Mountain to record an episode of Verbal Surgery. It’s perhaps the darkest edition I’ve ever released. But it’s a good view into what I’m going through right now. It definitely helped me feel better.
![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Family/Grand-girls--Bank--Bike--7-15-20/i-GKBBjSK/0/304da6b6/M/2020071522321975-8124900601687607268-IMG_7816-M.jpg)
I rode my bike 13.32 miles today. I got a late start and didn’t want to get caught out in the dark so I didn’t finish my whole 15 miles plus.
![](https://photos.smugmug.com/Family/Grand-girls--Bank--Bike--7-15-20/i-r3WTT72/0/f9b7fe3f/M/2020071522321975-4274900832217467266-IMG_8855-M.png)
Went through all of my poetry on the bike. That always helps me feel better, too. I have all the poems I know written on four notecards. Makes sure I don’t forget one of them.

I released the episode of Verbal Surgery that I recorded this afternoon called Verbal Surgery -776- “Death Test.” It’s dark, but it’s a good view inside what I’m going through right now.

Did my usual discipline of studying Spanish and doing my brain training.

My granddaughter Everly got a sticker in her foot. I had to get the needle and dig it out. She was pretty brave overall!

Enjoyed having the girls around.

While I was swinging them, I got a call from my Mom that her Facebook account had been hacked. So I had to help her reset that.

I’m sure you know, but just in case, if you ever get a friend request from somebody you’re sure you’re already friends with that is a hack on their account. It’s very important that you let the person know that made the request.
Got the groceries and cleaned them up. I think it was a record today. Left my house, went to Walmart, they put all my groceries in my car and I got back home in almost exactly fifteen minutes! I’ll never go back to pushing a cart through the store again. And the service is FREE if I buy more than $35 of food!

I hid it behind some trash cans while I went to get my car and the bike rack. I was glad Kathy saw my cry for help and came to get me. That would’ve been a long walk pushing a bike!

I had several other items that need to be adjusted or replaced besides just the flat.

I added a little bit of oil and the oil cap fell into the engine block. Eventually got it to go all the way down to where the bumper was. I took the grill off partially to be able to get it out. What a hassle!

Powerful thunderstorms blew through the ATL this afternoon. Power blinked off. Had to reset all the clocks.

Grandgirls came over. That’s always good. We took them to the park. Had fun playing on all the equipment.

These lilies are blooming! They are special to me because they are from my Dad’s funeral.

Listened to radio from Madrid after I recited all the scripture and poetry that I know. Got all the way through Psalms 136 today!

Got caught in a rainstorm in my last 10 minutes. Wasn’t too bad. I was pretty safe.

Some kind of flying bug got into my shirt while I was riding and stung me multiple times. That’s not zesty.
Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery this evening called “Keep the Change 2.” Excellence incarnate.

I studied Spanish. I finished 168 levels and will start Level Five tomorrow. It’s quite an accomplishment, really.

Had a fun day with the girls. Everly help me put the new stickers on for my tags. She enjoyed playing drums while I worked on writing the checks for the bills. They are such a blessing.

Transported a squirrel. I doubt that job will ever stop until the winter.
