I continue to trap and release squirrels from my area. I’ve caught nine so far.

VERY mild today! Especially for February!

Went LIVE on Facebook with the video version of “The Joy of Ignorance.”

Wanted to ride my bike today. Got dressed out and started, but a light sprinkle made me stop. I don’t ride on wet roads.

I wrote a series of questions about gun control on Facebook. After a few hours I erased all evidence of the threads. Shocking what people will say about guns.

Portuguese! Taxes! Opelika! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:08 pm  

Studied Portuguese! Sim!

Worked on my taxes. The hard part is always adding up the household utilities.

Ordained ministers get a certain amount deducted from the taxes.

Packaged everything up and got it ready to mail.

Jesse has been enjoying his outdoor office/hammock.

Ashley, Penelope, Everly and I took out our team from FBC Opelika! It’s been fourteen years since they worked with us. WOW! That’s when I was a solo act. SO much better now it’s hard to compare!

We took them to Plaza Fiesta and the Buford Highway Farmers Market. AWESOME!

We look forward to working with their team the first of June. Over 100 people!
After our prayer time together, I sent them on their way.
Took the girls back home. Then took my car to mail my taxes in.

Also went to the Apple store to pick up Ashley’s old computer.

Hopefully, Jesse will be able to get data off it. Most of what Ashley really needs is already in the cloud.
Ashley’s new computer will be delivered to my house Friday. It’s a refurbished 2017 computer. It cost the same amount and trying to fix her old one that is five years old.

Helped the kids at the mission with their homework.


Another mass shooting at a school in Florida. I thought this graph was interesting.

When I got home, I found I had captured another squirrel. That makes nine in all. Took it to my release spot about five miles away.

Gassed up my car on the way home.

Portuguese! Penelope! Mission!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:58 pm  

Penelope spent the night Tuesday night. Didn’t work on Admin duties because of that. She had a hard night. She’s teething, had an earache and coughed most of the night. Miles and Ashley took her to the doctor today. She was also complaining that her ear hurt.

Studied Portuguese shis afternoon before going to the mission.

I opened the mission, and they came back before many kids had even gotten there.

We had a roomful be the end of the session.


Ate a Taco Veloz on the way home.
Mr. Google always takes me different routes each evening. Fascinating.
Caught up blog from yesterday.
Admin duties now.
Tomorrow, I plan on working on my taxes.

Studied Portuguese this morning. Cada dia!

The girls came over for a visit. YEAH!



All of us have been sick except for the baby!
Penelope loved the hammock.

Did the grocery shopping.

Anthony posted a picture of me and my buddy Bob Burns from Scotland. Such a fun guy!

We didn’t work a the mission because we weren’t feeling well.
I transported three more squirrels from our house last night to make a total of six. As of today, we have stopped hearing the chewing in the house. No more squirrel problem! I got the material to fix the holes they’ve made at Walmart when I got the groceries.
Played some Battlefront 2 and watched Dark Matter on Netflix.

Still not feeling well. Catching up with the blog today.

Studied Portuguese.

Recorded a podcast. Always makes me feel better.

Ashley and I were supposed to have lunch with our friend Ben Birdsong, but neither of us felt up to it. Why get a friend sick?

Dropped off cars to get worked on. Over $600 yesterday! Ouch!



Interesting con trail.

Found out yesterday that this is a Chinese Dog year! Yeah!

Slept twelve hours last night. What a body needs.

My car was in the shop today. Needed an oil change and tune up. Set me back nearly $400. Wow.
Still not feeling great. Once I knew my car wouldn’t be ready to work at the mission today, I just laid around and rested.
Watched more of Casa de Papel.

Went to the ATT store to get credit back on my bill for the useless International Plan. At least they reimbursed me half of what I paid. The texting and internet worked, but not the phone call part.

Picked up the newsletters from the Atlanta Metro Baptist Association.

Always looks cool.

Collated and folded the newsletter. I didn’t want to do it at Ashley’s house, because I have to ignore Penelope and I hate that.
Went to the Post Office to get the letters in the mail!



Deposited money into the bank. Amen!

Went to the mission to help the kids. Love me some Penelope time!

Beautiful sunset.
