I enjoy exploring fractals.

Did my brain training with my new Luminate device and my headset. So much fun to explore what my brain can do.

Confirmed an eye appointment for my Mom.

OYB!

Felt hot today.

Had a good visit with Hyacinth from Rockbridge BC. She’s the new missions coordinator for the church.

Talked to our health insurance agent about K’s GLP-1 meds.

Went by my office to check the mail.

K and I took P out for Cheeseburger Bobby’s. Everly was at her Flagarrette practice.

I brought some cups for stacking and my pen for her to draw. How many cups are in this picture? Are you sure? It almost looks like something MC Escher would do.

Custard for a treat. We for sure didn’t tell Everly about that!

Went to Huntley Hills to pick up Everly.

Went to Azalea to help the kids. We got almost all the homework done yesterday. Had a little bit more to do today.

This picture popped up on my feed.

Beautiful.

You know the drill.

My Lumenate came in last night. Absolutely fascinating! Incredible visuals. My brain syncs up with the flashing lights and helps with my brain training.

Background on the technology.

Seems hot but tolerable in the shade.

Set up a lunch with Jon Paul for next week on the 23rd.

Sent a letter to my friend Ron Wallace who works for WTOC in Savannah, GA. Every time I get a box of these Krispy Kremes I think of him.

K stayed home today. Her leg was bothering her. She’ll come with me tomorrow. Whenever I’m by myself driving, I always listen to Don Cheto.

Went to FBCD to check the mail.

Just me and Penelope today. What a blessing. We ate at Cici’s then went to an antique store to look around.

P and I went to Huntley Hills to meet up with Everly and Ashley.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

I’ll probably come in second this week.

Brain Training.

Not quite as hot.

Ordered groceries.

OYB!

Español!

Got slightly over 2″of rain in the last week.

Did my laundry.

Went to the UPS store to return a HDMI cable to Amazon.

Took the garbage to the curb.

Went to the church to get the mail and check on my office.

I’m going to help K with her GLP-1 meds. Eventually, most things come to me to figure out.

This was a great weekend seven years ago. I was on the Head Hacker team at a hypnosis conference. We had all five of us together in San Diego.

From Everly’s door. I showed it to her and she crumpled it up and threw it on the floor.

This will be a fun competition I reckon.

Came in first place in the Leagues last week.

EEG!

Ordered gum and sheets for J.

OYB!

Hot.

Fun talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Went my FBCD to check my mail.

I sent this to Ashley to let their dog Ryder check it out.

K and I picked the girls up at the bus and took them to eat Vietnamese.

Penelope’s art.

Took them to the grass hill park before going to the Mission.

Everly stayed home with K.

Had a lot of third graders today. Tons of homework.

The kids enjoy playing games.

Busy weeks. This doesn’t count working at the Mission.

Just. Keep. Going.

Brain training.

Interesting.

OYB!

I originally crafted my website with HTML. It’s my life’s work on line: www.whirlwindmissions.org. Twenty-five years ago today. Wow.

Español!

Still seems hot.

Cleaned and refilled my feeders. I have six big ones. The hummingbirds are not drinking as much of it because only the juveniles are left. They’ll be gone soon. I change it weekly to keep the solution from fermenting in the heat.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Water.” My batteries conked out on the last five minutes, so it’s also the “endless episode.” No way I was going to re-record forty minutes of podcast.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father!

I’ll come in first place this week. Claire, who is third place, has been competing with me over the last five weeks. I’m sure she doesn’t like to see me in the same lineup.

Did a lot of brain training last night.

OYB!

Rainy.

Tracking my new shirts.

K and I had a fun time at Dr. Pat Barrington’s birthday party. She’s a good friend. It was fun to see Michelle and her kids there too.

K loves babies.

I think this is the last cord we’ll need to fix up J’s new set up on her bed.

Push.

I like this shirt, but I can’t find it in the style I want.

Ordered more lens wipes.

Glad to hear that Everly made the team! I knew she would. She was very serious about it.

Not as hot today. Thunderstorms blew through. I don’t think we got much rain.

Ordered more handkerchiefs. Not sure why I run low. But they are a critical piece of kit.

I take a bag of trash out every day. About the same for recycle.

OYB!

Español.

Started using my new hangars.

Did my laundry.

Took Nana to get her hair and nails done.

Miles didn’t come by. Jimmy thought he might.

I haven’t been impressed by the last bag of potting soil I got. Needs more perlite. I’m putting some of the plants in saucers to keep the soil wetter.

J’s therapist mentioned this new technology.

My new shoes don’t look so new anymore. Decided to paint them. I clean and dry them first.

I boiled water with oxyclean and soaked the shoestrings.

When I paint, I completely cover the shoes. There isn’t any raw leather showing.

Rain.

I ordered more shirts.

Needed more shoe paint. That stuff works great.

Big day for me on Duolingo. I went over 4,000,000 XP.

Deposited money into my checking account.

EEG!

OYB!

K and I went with J to her fibromyalgia appointment. We liked the nurse who helped us.

Cleaned my windshield. Again. Hard to get it looking good.

Washed my bedding. Pretty big job.

Went to Am Deli to get fried rice for me and Nana.

Just keep going.

EEG!

Hummingbirds are one of my favorites! It was always confusing exactly when the hummingbirds would head south. I found this article interesting.

Ordered groceries.

I noticed the cover for my forward facing cameras was looking dirty. After close observation and cleaning, I replaced it.

OYB!

Came in first place last week in the Duolingo leagues.

The videos coming out of California due to the hurricane are incredible. The whole beach–erased! But the Atlantic has yet to produce a hurricane this year! What?

Nice.

Fun time talking with my buddy, Anthony.

Bueno candy. Where is it from?

K and I took Penelope to the BHFM.

Went to Huntley Hills to pick up Everly from Flaggarettes.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

Never too much Ashley.

Checked fluids and got gas. Almost exactly ten gallons.

Picked up groceries.

Keep going.

I heard back from Grant who is the owner of Metropolitan Antiques. Glad my work was helpful to him!

Last night I helped J put her monitor arm together and get it in place. I cut some plywood to help mount it.

I hope it helps J feel better and be more productive.

I ordered cables she’ll need.

EEG!

I’ve ordered another device called a Lumenate. It does brain entrainment patterns on the back of your eyelids. I’ve read really interesting effects with the device.

One of my new shirts looks like it was created by Mondrian. He’s one of my favorite artists.

The people I bought my last two shirts from gave me a discount code because of the month long wait.

This looks like end times stuff to me.

Just did this for J.

Not as hot today.

OYB!

Reminded Arturo about his rope.

The girl’s bus was over thirty minutes late today.

I read an interesting article about turning Apple Intelligence off on my iPhone. I did it.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

Picked up J’s meds and subs for Nana and her both.

Keep going.

I got the lyrics for the song that Everly’s flaggarettes will be using to dance to. It’s in Spanish.
