No one ever catches 4,000 points.

Español! Pedro! Shiplap! 2.2.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:54 pm  

Bad news out of Nairobi.

Cleaned the fan in my bedroom. The wet/dry vac did a great job.

OYB!

Español! Listened to Don Cheto and studied a vocabulary word.

Absolutely gorgeous weather today.

Picked up Thai food.

Heard from Pedro today. He was in my original youth group.

I’m looking into getting some cedar shiplap to repair a couple of small areas by my deck.

Did my laundry.

The more time I spend the more I learn. Period. These leagues motivate me to spend more time.

Yard! Gymnastics! Mission! 2.1.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:44 pm  

OYB!

Español!

Blew the deck.

Walked 2.56 miles. Eighteen hills.

Took my carnivores back outside. Not supposed to freeze for a while.

My new bird feeder came in today. Amen. A big branch fell and crushed the last one.

Cleaned the bird baths and bowl.

Raked and swept the carpet outside my door.

Cleaned and organized the St. Francis shrine.

This looks pretty good to me. Clean water. Suet. High quality bird seed.

Reset all my spin wheels. These point towards the cardinals.

Rehung one of my mobiles. I tie a rubber band on the wire and it doesn’t slide down.

I need to focus on these conjugations. I hear them all the time. Someone says or said something.

Worked with the kids at the mission. Took a break and went to see Penelope and Everly for gymnastics class.

Cleaned out the area behind the mission. The kids helped me take the stuff to the dumpster. Even now I think I should have kept that table.

Now I’m teaching people this kind of stuff.

Ordered a new external power brick. Mine are starting to fail, taking forever to charge.

Sunset!

Checked the mail at my office.

Indefatigable.

Things to come.

Hiked 2.56 miles up and down my hill.

Working through getting my NAMB accreditation updated.

Fun talk with my Mom.

Newsletter! Stamps! Azalea! 1.29.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:21 pm  

OYB

Took a couple of hygiene things to UPS to send back to Amazon.

Came in third place last week.


Duolingo had a maintenance break. Listened to Don Cheto instead. Measured how long it takes me to walk up and down my hill one time.

Walked 1.31 miles.

Cool, beautiful weather.

Good chat with my Mom.

Let our church secretary know my letters were ready to print.

Went to Publix to drop off a prescription. She told me it was too soon to do it. I don’t think she read the prescription correctly.

Post Office for stamps. Sadly, the machine could only print the single stamps that are way harder to use.

Picked up the grandgirls and helped the kids at the mission.

Went to my office to check the mail, pick up the newsletters, stamp and stuff them.

Also wrote some thank you notes.

Español! Walk! Newsletters! Podcast! 1.28.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:51 pm  

OYB!

Cold!

Español!

Walked 1.08 miles.

Released Verbal Surgery “Every HIll’s A Victory.” TASTY!

Produced my newsletter.

I have the newsletter written, produced, labels on the envelope, return envelope and the tax letters for our donors complete. I still need to get stamps. I’ll take the newsletter to get copied tomorrow afternoon. I should be able to have them in the mail tomorrow. Amen.

Went to the US Post, but the stamp machine wasn’t working. At least according to the note.

Listened to Don Cheto. Sometimes I’m really getting a lot. My ear seems like it’s picking out words better. I’m thinking now that that might be thanks to using my ear buds rather than listening through car speakers.

I’ll come in the top three again this week.

Taxes! Español! Warm! 1.26.24

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:55 pm  

It certainly was foggy here!

OYB!

Español!

I went to Young World with Kathy to set up her payroll account on line and change her deductions so they take more taxes out of paycheck. That becomes kind of like a savings account for us.

Deposited a check.

Set up a lunch meeting with my buddy Jon Paul next Wednesday. We had some tax stuff to talk about as well.

So WARM!

I’m always learning vocabulary.

Added transmission fluid. Just 1 oz.

Put on shorts. WHAT?!

Left a VM for a representative of the North American Mission Board.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Every Hill’s A Victory.” Good one.

I don’t see me getting beat out of the top three this week. Once you get over 4,000 ahead, I’m almost impossible to beat. Cuz I don’t stop.

Big storms this evening.

Dealt with some business with Apple Podcasts.
