Very mild today, sprinkles. Supposed to have a hard freeze Monday night.

Continuing to find out details about the team coming tomorrow. Biggest factor being that they’re not eating lunch with me.

OYB!

I had issues uploading files last night. I restarted my computer and it worked fine.

Español!

Deepstash.

I recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Zoom.”

Looks like they’re shooting a big movie at Stone Mountain. Even putting up power lines .

Effort.

I sent a message to the team leader for next week’s trip but it never got to him. It was sent to the work phone number rather than his cell number. I got that sorted out now.

OYB!

Español!

Added a team to our schedule in April from Birmingham.

Updated the cell numbers.

Deepstash!

Good talk with my buddy, Anthony.

I’ve enjoyed a rest day. Had fun playing Arc Raiders.

Keep going.

I’ve had some issues with my desktop version of Smugmug. Not sure what’s going on. I contacted Smugmug.

I finished editing and uploading the third team’s video this morning.

OYB!

Got in touch with Don Howard this morning.

Español!

The girls spent the night since they didn’t have school today. We went to Hot and Cold for lunch.

I timed them running.

Tried to get in touch with her, but wasn’t able to.

I was able to get the CT scan set up for K. We will have to go back to the Duluth office to pick up the disk of K’s previous scan. What a hassle.

Lots of stuff to track.

I’m having trouble uploading pictures to Smugmug through my desktop MacAir. Mobile works fine. Weird. I took this picture as a test.

I wrote the Thank You letters to the three teams. They include links to all the photo galleries and to the video. When I’ve sent those letters off, I consider the team “complete.”

Just keep going.

Trying to get a head start on the food orders for the teams next week.

We visited Plaza Fiesta. Always cool things to see and eat!

I need to get K scheduled for her CT Scan for her lung.

Chilly today.

Processed and deposited checks. Thank you so much, Father!

After I left the teams, I set up the chairs, cleaned up and threw away trash.

I set up each chair with what they’ll need.

I picked up groceries on the way home. I had the grandgirls with me! I also gassed up the car and checked the oil.

I edited two of the three videos. It’s hard to keep the three different teams separate when you’re making the final video. I have to keep lists of all the people so I can verify who’s in which video.

I had a meaningful time with the teams this morning. It’s our D-Day. Dedication Day.

We ate at Plaza Fiesta. I need to find a better place for these guys to eat. It’s just kind of hard with thirty people. Place has to be pretty big.

Added new editions of Don Cheto on my phone.

I’m running my MacBook Air for the entire Show off of the battery. Seems to be handling it well.

Richard Feynman is one of my heroes. What a genius!

OYB!

The ride to work in the morning has been interesting. I’ve had a lot of driving through neighborhoods rather than on the highway. I like seeing all the plants starting to turn green and bloom.

I thought this was interesting.

I verified that my tax package had gotten to my tax guys. That’s always a relief. I paid $33 for an overnight delivery and they actually accomplished that. Wow.

Español! Just in case you wondered, that’s over six years without missing a day of studying Spanish. It has really paid off.

I always enjoy taking the teams on Safari. Today we ate at Hibachi Grill and traveled around Kitab bookstore, Al Madina grocery store and Global Mall. We went to the store that sells idols and to the Ganesha temple at Global Mall.

Listened to Don Cheto during the drive.

When I’m pressed for time during the weeks with teams, I’m just reading the sentences on Duolingo. I do repeat them in my mind, but not out loud while looking at the English sentence.

Had a great time with the teams at the missions.

Last night, I added a new folder to the Smugmug account: Teams 2026. It’s always a little bit challenging to remember the exact process annually.

OYB!

Since I’m riding to work by myself this week, I listen to Don Cheto.

Beautiful day.

Español!

New team on the horizon.

The folks at CD Tower have redone their space. I like the new layout.

Picked up the grandgirls and took them to the BHFM. P was hungry for Mac and cheese.

I just now wrote Dwight a text and sent him a picture.

Just keep going.

Had fun with the Teams today. Took them to eat at Pho 24. They loved the food but it was a pretty long wait for some of the 25 kids. They were good sports about it. We also went by Asian Square.

Worked on getting the lunch order together till late last night. Turned it in around 8:30 AM.

Mild.

OYB!

Another team leader, Robyn, dropped in to see The Show at 10AM.

I picked up the girls at the bus. Greeted all the kids and told them about the team at the Mission. Took the girls out for a snack.

Listened to Don Cheto on the way home.

Used some electrical tape to repair an old extension cord.

I sent them a note.

My Spanish time was cut short today. I finished in the top ten last week.

Had a great time with teams from LifeBridge, Metro BC, and FBC Lloyd. They had fun with the kids at the Missions.

Terrific first day.

Working on what the team wants to eat tomorrow. I need to have pretty accurate numbers so the manager can order enough meat.

OYB!

Español!

Deepstash.

I pulled up some pictures of the food and sent them to the team leaders coming tomorrow.

Sprinkled most of the day.

Recorded and released “Power Words.”

Keep going.

I was looking over the Whirlwind team website and asked Ashley to make the font darker. I find it kind of hard to read. You?

OYB!

Español!

Steven Covey 7 Habits.

Deepstash!

Mom found a picture with her hair the way she wants it.

I took her to get her hair done today.

Helped my Mom get some documents for her taxes. It wasn’t too hard.

Interesting.

Blew my deck and driveway. One part of the job is getting the power cords lined out.

It sprinkled. The yard seemed fresh.

Blew the deck. Things were wet so it made the job harder.

Beauty!

Refilled the feeders. That entails two suet blocks, two birdseed feeders, and scraping suet on the driveway edge.

Just keep going.

Research for Arc Raiders.

OYB!

Sent a short audio message and a picture to my buddy, Carl.

Español!

So warm! Tied a record.

Sent a note to my health insurance agent Scott Deter about a message I got from Georgia Health.

I heard from one of my partners that she needed help at Azalea. She has a Vietnamese friend who is over 100 years old who needs her help from time to time.

Confirmed my eye doctor appointment with Ashley. Nana and J will come with me to also have exams.

Deepstash. I’ve enjoyed the quotes and synopses of books.

Do you think this map could be right?

Took K to her Lung Capacity test. She had to walk for six minutes. She did almost three before having to sit down. She’ll be on oxygen soon. That should help, although the doctor said she probably couldn’t tell the difference.

We saw some real deluges on our way home from Duluth. Not all that much hit us.

Keep going.
