I left the bag of dogfood I got from Walmart in my cart outside last night. I had to throw away about half of the bag because it had gotten wet. Actually, I just spread it out in the yard. It probably will dry out in this weather and something will eat it all eventually. I was surprised the bag wasn’t water proof. But it was like a hurricane last night.
Now I’m starting to see why people were mad at Biden.

Looking forward to working on this.
Cold and damp.
Working on research for a Smart TV for my Mom’s room.
Put the back seat organizer together and put it my car. Girls are big now!
I needed a bag of dog food for the wild animals. It’s nearly fifty pounds. I really didn’t want to put it on a cart and put it in the car. But I did it.
While I was a Walmart I checked on the “Peppermint” roses that are red and white. They had marked them 50% off! So I bought four more. I’m planning on putting them alongside my driveway.
I was happy about that.
Went to Stone Mountain to record a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Great On Time.”
Stopped by to pick up pizza on the way home.

Hiked .94 miles.
The off/on button on my Sony TV remote is worn out. I thought it was only the batteries. Alas, no. I ordered a new one today.
Good chat with my buddy, Anthony.
Did my laundry.
My key fob for my Honda was having issues locking yesterday. Similar to the TV remote, I figured it’s the battery. I got the hide-a-key from under the car and checked to make sure it was working. Nice bright light and did fine. I’ll probably take my main one apart and check what battery it needs and order a new one.
My system of putting the hide-a-key in a thin nylon sock and attaching it to the car with rare earth magnets (the SUPER strong kind) worked perfectly.
I decided to clean out my trunk area. What a mess.
I got almost everything out and sorted it on the pavement.
Way more organized now. I took quite a lot of stuff out.
I also took the girl’s booster seats to Goodwill. They don’t need them any more. I got a car seat organizer so they have somewhere to put their drinks.
With the trunk organized, I decided to clean the rest of the inside. Floormats were first. I never tried this little vacuum before. It didn’t have a lot of suction but seemed to do the job.
I also iused armorall on the them.
Cleaned the doors.
I got the micro-fiber glass cleaner from Dollar Tree. Used it for the first time today. It did a great job.
I hope someone else makes good use of the seats and clothes.
Cleaned the washing machine. These tablets keep it smelling fresh.
I did a second load of laundry of the towels and washcloths.
Picked up a couple of gyros and a slice of cake. Prices have gone up.
Picked up Thai food for me on the way home.
Went to Goodwill to drop off the stuff.
I doubt I’ll do anything with this.
I put up a Valentine balloon at the mailbox and a few around the house. I bought her some candy too. Also brought home the gyros and cake.
I got this little “peppermint” rose for me. I have four others in my garden outside from Valentines in the past.
Tight race.

I brought my carnivores back inside this morning. I don’t let them stay outside in below freezing temperatures.

Hiked 1.02 miles.
I have a lot of map jackets. They are getting pretty thread bare. This weekend, I plan on going through my trunk and looking for more jackets. Some of them could be fine if they’re sewn up. Others seem beyond repair.
Beautiful high level clouds today. They had an iridescence about them. I shot this through my UV sunglasses.
I’ve been very cognizant about using cell data. I’m not surprised I didn’t go over.
Picked up the girls from the bus and took them home to make them a snack and check on the pup.
Penelope is learning the recorder. Cool.
Helped the kids at the mission.
Deposited checks. Thank you, Father.
I’ve been shooting this shot for decades. Never gets old. The trees have gotten a lot bigger.
Good talk with Nana on the way home.
Got gas and checked fluids.
Final days of the Finals tournament.

First time I’ve seen this on a map. Where does he get these ideas?
Good talks with Nana today. Lots to discuss pertaining to the anticipated move. I spent about an hour talking to a moving guy and doing research.
Also did research on if we hired a U-Haul and did it ourselves. I wanted the info, but I really didn’t want that job. Checked to see if it was cheaper just to get a new chair rather than ship it with a moving company. Lots of variables to consider.
One of the staff from Roopville Road BC called me today about the up coming Missions conference. They wanted to know if I had any questions. I did.
Drizzly today. Always makes for fantastic oil slick pix.
Picked up the girls at the bus. We played with Ryder at home. Girls weren’t very hungry.
Penelope was excited to have her stylus for her tablet today. I helped her get it set up.
Helped the kids at the Mission.
One of the kids had a movie on. They were trying to make it dark.
Pastor Greg wanted to know if I had a need for some tech.
My Mom had a great time at the “Peggys Party” mission meeting at Main Street BC! Jodi Steger has been such a huge part of my family! Peggy Hooten is the other Peggy! Love her, too!
As you may remember, I had a great talk with my buddy Danou in Namibia this week. He mentioned our conversation and my ideas for a bore hole on his latest video on YouTube.
My Chiefs got hammered last night. The Eagles were just a better team.
Cooler today. I wore long pants.
OYB!
I came in #2 last week in the Duolingo Leagues.
Watered my plants in the Green Room.
Walked 2.05 miles. 18 hills.
Here’s looking down my hill.
And then back up.
I believe this is a gas line. I use that as a marker for where to turn around. I still have strong wifi to this location. It’s also the steepest part of the hill.
Heard from a friend of mine from the old days. I’m always trying to help. Sometimes I can’t do that much.
Checked the mail at my office. We don’t seem to get mail every day. Every few days everyone gets a pile.
I picked up Everly at the bus. We went to her house to check on Ryder, then around 4:30 PM we met Penelope at Huntley Hills Elementary as her Drama Club got out.
I sewed up a pillow at Ashley’s house.
Worked with the kids at the Mission.
Good talk with Nana on the way home. She had a great meeting with my brother Jim and our friend Stuart Sutton who is a realtor.
Art by God.
I’ve really enjoyed these. I ordered another four pack this evening. It reminds me of the Indian section of Nairobi where I grew up.
It’ll be a very tight competition this week. It’s the Finals. There are some really smart people in this group.
I heard from Danou. He told me what messaging app was best for him: WhatsApp. I sent him a message with info.
I’m a research kind of guy.
Here’s how Danou talks about what he’s doing.
I used WhatsApp a lot when I was in Guatemala.
One of the production people from this TV show contacted me last week about using the FBC Doraville parking lot.
Got word about the shower stall we will be installing soon.
I continue to contact team leaders.
OYB!
Español.
Got in touch with Landon.
Team list is starting to grow. Amen.
Danou speaks Afrikaans. I always find it fun to pick up a few words in their heart language. Always builds rapport.
We had a fun chat on the phone.
After hearing his heart for what he wants his property to achieve, I encouraged him to talk to people in charge of the local schools. He should offer to have the kids come out and take a look. Perhaps they could help with the signage, or cleaning up some trails or something. Just get them involved and their parents will probably take interest.
I also thought he should contact local Universities and see if their grad students might be interested in coming to help. Perhaps they could do some research for him.
After talking to Landon, I realized that the team will be here at the same time as Nana and Rooopa! That will be great. I will need to take Roopa to the airport on Sunday so I won’t be with the team for most of the time that they’re at the mission that day. I’ll have to leave around 3:00 PM. I talked to him and explained the situation. He didn’t think that would be a problem at all.
I called Nana to tell her what was going on. Everything will work out perfectly.
Really? They needed a box this big for a packet of dental floss?
Fantastic weather.
Printed the tax receipt from Kars 4 Kids.
Brought the water bottles in.
Rained about .75″ last night.
Refilled feeders.
Keep going.
