I scraped and cleaned the tub.

What a job. I used a big razor blade and Goof Off–which is like souped up acetone. Powerful fumes. Glad I had a fan.

Met up with Jesse in Clarkston then rode out to the airport to meet up with my team from Georgetown, TX.

They are a great bunch! I’m really looking forward to showing them around.

After checking in at the hotel, we took them over to Penang for some Malaysian food. Excellent.

Worked on a new podcast this morning! Fun!
t
We respond to events by how we define them. Check out “Bad” Things
Just click on the title and groove! p

Feeling a little under the weather. I have kind of a sore throat.

The PlayStation 4 was released last night at midnight. I enjoyed listening to some of the game developers. Went to GameStop to see the new PS4 hardware. Pretty groovy. p

Enjoyed lunch with Jesse.
j
Always interesting conversation. We are getting ready for the board meeting. We discussed his presentation. He’s done a lot at the mission!

Home to rest. Burned more DVDs for the promo project.

Enjoyed watching Elementary and White Collar with K this evening. Had a problem with the audio in my system coming from the DVR. Restarted everything and checked the wiring. Finally got it to fire back up again. Smile.

I enjoyed my coffee and baklava at Messinas with Jesse. b

Paint! DVDs! Board! Ashley!

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:08 pm  

Yesterday, I realized that the bottom of the trashcan where I keep birdseed had begun to rust. Cleaned it out and let it dry over night. This morning I sprayed it with white spray paint. I put it in another spot where it won’t have that problem.
t
Enjoyed lunch with Kathy and Ashley.
a

Ash and I worked on the papers for the Board meeting on Monday.
a
We also have a team in town from Texas. It’ll be a busy week. I think we pretty much have everything together. There’s still some financial numbers that she’s crunching.
s
We are planning on sending out more promotional dvds to prospective youth directors. So I’ve been burning more dvds.
d
Only takes about five minutes to burn one, but I’m always working on something so I have to stop to go over the computer to put another disk in. Definitely takes time.

Went to Azalea to work with the kids. Great group!
k
j
Admin duties now. Still burning dvds.

I liked this grill.

Beauty.

l
a
She came over to my house and we ate lunch with our friends the Zamoras from Venezuela.
z
They’ve been doing great missionary work at Huntington Ridge for over 5 years now. The complex is getting a new owner and they’re also having a tough time raising the funds they need. Hard decisions have to be made.

It was great seeing them.

I burned more DVDs for the promotion project we’re doing for the Summer teams.

Ashley and I talked a lot about the information we need to put down for our Board meeting on Monday evening.

Cleaned out the fish tank.

Helped the kids at the mission. Always fun.

Some of my Bengali girls may need to rethink the whole flip-flop thing in freezing temps.

Writing! Recording! Missioning!

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:26 pm  

Had fun doing some creative writing.
s
They are my short, pithy sayings I post on Twitter. I write for about thirty minutes then post a couple of weeks worth into a program that doles them out five times a day. Over 6,000! You can find them on Twitter @timacummins I have over 80,000 followers on Twitter.

Recorded a new podcast!
t

I thought this one was interesting. I call it “Dogs in Costumes.” Click on the title and groove!
p

Picked up my car today.
c

It had a bent cam shaft as well as two valves that were out of alignment. With over 225, 000 miles it comes with the territory. Nearly $1,000.
a

Filled up with gas. Glad the prices keep going down.
g

Helped the kids at the mission. Not too much homework today.
