OYB!

My gardenias are blooming. One of my favorite times of year.

Lovely!

Hiked 1.33 miles.

I sent the sphagnum moss back to Amazon. Needed a lot more than that little bag. The UPS store has self check in and bagging.

Don Cheto!

Transported a squirrel to Chamblee.

Picked up mail and processed checks. Then took them to the bank to deposit.

Took the girls to 2 Bridges Park. Sadly, the Splash Pad still wasn’t open. They still had fun.

On the way home, I passed by 3rd Rail Studios. I noticed a WTOC sign on the fence. I thought that was cool. I spent a few really good years there!

Traffic was so bad going home.

I’m enjoying playing Fallout 4.

Came in #1 last week.

Lovely weather. Looks like it’s going to be dry for a while. Put my succulents back outside. They were staying too wet.

OYB!

Updated this payment option.

Hiked 3.83 miles. Twenty eight hills.

Good talk with my Mom today.

There’s a QT near the mission that has super good gas prices. Nearly a quarter cheaper than near my house and .37 cents cheaper than in Chamblee.

I took the girls to the Downwind restaurant at the PDK airport. They are building a new playground there. Not sure about the concrete base!

Then to the Monkey Bar Park.

Listened to Don Cheto on the way home.

OYB!

Español!

Cloudy with a bit of rain.

I like to support the police and for them to know that. I got a set of stickers for my cars and house.

I got my new power strip and chargers hooked up for my external batteries.

Watered my plants.

I have some 7″ pots and sphagnum moss coming to replant my Nepenthes carnivores.

Ordered groceries.

Cleaned and refilled my feeders and bird baths.

K and I went to Guero’s for Mexican food. Then picked up groceries.

I got extra distilled water for a project that J is working on.

Put my new episode of Verbal Surgery on Facebook: “The Spider and The Ant.”

I’ll come in #1 this week.

Been reading Castaneda en Español.

Progress!

OYB!

Keep going.

Fun chat with Anthony.

Got in touch with a family friend and donor today.

Rainy.

Been watching the series Fallout and playing the video game. I did the same with the Last of Us. Fun.

I should come in #1 this week.

Cool and sprinkly.

Sewed up a hole in one of my shirts.

I’ve had issues with my Mac Air crashing when I’m watching YouTube. Weird.

OYB!

Español!

Fun talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Recorded an episode of Verbal Surgery called, “The Spider and The Ant.”

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father.

Made PBJ sandwiches for J.

Cleaned off the deck.

Scrubbed my shoes.

Downloaded the new episode onto my Mac.

Push.

Took K to Provinos. We normally only go there on a birthday.

The kids at the mission haven’t had any homework for a couple of weeks now. Everything is winding down. Ashley had the day off today, so I decided to save some gas and stay home. I need the rest.

Wow!

OYB!

I got a new multiplug and some new chargers coming for my batteries. I should have the whole station set up soon.

Lovely!

Español!

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony.

Hiked 2.02 miles.

Chat GPT 40 is out now.

Did laundry. When I’m working out a lot it generates more clothes to wash.

Don Cheto.

Rode my bike 12.29 miles.

Sewed up a couple of my pairs of shorts. The belt loops where I hang my keys were getting torn up.

I enjoyed reading this in Spanish last night. That was cool to me because the conversations in the book were all originally en Español.

Don’t stop.

OYB!

Beautiful.

Español!

Hiked 3.09 miles.

That’s a lot of hills.

K and I picked up the girls, went to eat and played at the Village Park.

Great to have my girls together!

I’ve been having issues charging my external batteries. Trying new ways to top them off.

Sprinkles today.

OYB!

Español!

Went to Publix to pick up J’s meds.

I gave up hope that my banana plants had survived the freeze last winter. I got another four plants in today. I had the last set for over six years. I’ve learned a lot about growing them since then. Main thing is that I’ll dig them up and bring them inside before it gets really cold.

I also added some soil to some cuttings of a San Pedro plant I had. I’d watched a video about putting them horizontally and placing them on soil so they’ll start to root.

Moved my pineapple, frangipani and aloe vera plants back inside. They were getting too wet. They don’t like that. Moved my fasciata into sunnier spots.

About .20″ of rain.

Cleaned off and swept my back porch and St. Francis shrine.

Got a new set of chargers for my batteries.

Don Cheto.

Caught a squirrel and took it to Chamblee.

Castaneda’s Journey to Ixtlan.

Picked up the girls and took them to Cici’s. Then to Dick’s sporting goods and Pet Smart. I’m always looking for physical challenges for them. Everly held herself up for 40 seconds. I thought that was pretty good!

Keswick Park for more exercise.

Came in second place last week.

Cool weather!

OYB!

Keep going.

I got an email from a great friend who is changing ministry. I hope it goes well for him. It’s super hard to raise funds these days.

I had seen on a video that the application “Copilot” by Microsoft included Chat GPT4 for free. I asked GPT3 about that. Not so much.

Went to Publix to drop off a prescription for Jessi. I’ll go back tomorrow to pick it up.

Cool wavy clouds.

Had a good talk with my Mom on the way into town.

I’ve been enjoying rereading sections from some of Carlos Casteneda’s books. They had a huge influence on me as a young adult.

Steve Parr interviewed me this afternoon on Zoom. He’s the Associational Director for Gwinnett county.

This caught my eye.

Picked the girls up and took them to the Buford Highway Farmers Market to eat. We had fun at Plaza Fiesta and the Sliding HIll Park.

I create obstacle courses for them. Some of the stuff is really hard, like climbing the basketball goal. Penelope reached the top and Everly was only a foot from the top. Amazing effort.

Don Cheto is always a listening challenge.

Happy Mothers Day! I had a fun talk with my Mom and took K out for Indian food. Fabulous!

I’m doing some research about this.

OYB!

Español!

Hiked 2.37 miles.

Prepped my bike and went for a 12.56 mile bike ride. It was glorious.

Perfect weather and interesting clouds. Looked like they had tentacles.

Did some research as to when Don Cheto is on live: 5:00 AM to 11:00 AM. I’m pretty sure that is California time since they originally broadcast out of LA.

Released Verbal Surgery “Past Lives” on Facebook. Really interesting episode.

Looks like I’ll come in second place this week.
