I studied Spanish and did my brain training.

Enjoyed having the girls with me today.

We took them to the park and then let them splash around in my little blue pool.

Spent time working on Penelope‘s hair. It’s a calming thing to do that.

This is all that’s left from the mushrooms growing yesterday.

Still concerned about the Ministry’s finances. One day at a time.

Rode my bike 15.21 miles. Beautiful clouds. That exercise for an hour and a half really helps me blow off stress. I always feel better after I’ve completed it.

Had a good talk with my treasurer Jon Paul as well as a chat with my friend Rebecca in Georgetown about our financial situation.

I woke up this morning and saw a message from my buddy Anthony. He included a song for me to listen to. Hauntingly beautiful.

I watched a couple of Wired videos of artists that I found absolutely amazing.

I contacted my buddies at Aztec Bike to make sure that they were working on my bicycle, which they were.

Did my brain training and studied Spanish this morning.

Had a good time with the grand girls. They’re so much fun.

Hot today at the park.

I deposited money into the bank. Our ministry is at a financially real low point right now which definitely affected my mood.

After I dropped off a squirrel, I went out to Stone Mountain to record an episode of Verbal Surgery. It’s perhaps the darkest edition I’ve ever released. But it’s a good view into what I’m going through right now. It definitely helped me feel better.

I rode my bike 13.32 miles today. I got a late start and didn’t want to get caught out in the dark so I didn’t finish my whole 15 miles plus.

Went through all of my poetry on the bike. That always helps me feel better, too. I have all the poems I know written on four notecards. Makes sure I don’t forget one of them.

Beautiful clouds today.

I released the episode of Verbal Surgery that I recorded this afternoon called Verbal Surgery -776- “Death Test.” It’s dark, but it’s a good view inside what I’m going through right now.

Enjoyed seeing my raccoon this evening.

Did my usual discipline of studying Spanish and doing my brain training.

My granddaughter Everly got a sticker in her foot. I had to get the needle and dig it out. She was pretty brave overall!

Paid bills.

Enjoyed having the girls around.

While I was swinging them, I got a call from my Mom that her Facebook account had been hacked. So I had to help her reset that.

I’m sure you know, but just in case, if you ever get a friend request from somebody you’re sure you’re already friends with that is a hack on their account. It’s very important that you let the person know that made the request.

Got the groceries and cleaned them up. I think it was a record today. Left my house, went to Walmart, they put all my groceries in my car and I got back home in almost exactly fifteen minutes! I’ll never go back to pushing a cart through the store again. And the service is FREE if I buy more than $35 of food!

Released another squirrel.

Ashley and I spent time working on the insurance for the ministry.

Beautiful set of mushrooms sprouting today.

I did a whole podcast about this orchid. Its little flower is as big as its leaves!

Warm day!

I went for a 7.35 mile bike ride.

My tire went flat.

I hid it behind some trash cans while I went to get my car and the bike rack. I was glad Kathy saw my cry for help and came to get me. That would’ve been a long walk pushing a bike!

I took it over to my bike guys. Hopefully, they can start working on it tomorrow.

I had several other items that need to be adjusted or replaced besides just the flat.

Listened to radio from Madrid while I biked.

Beautiful clouds this evening!

I liked this website called WindowSwap.

I studied Spanish did my brain training the last two days.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery “The Art of Forgetting.”

Had fun on my birthday. Had an ice cream birthday cake.

Got groceries cleaned them and brought them inside.

I had some peanuts to try to explain to the girls how old I was. That’s a lot of peanuts!

Took the girls to the park to have some fun.

Had a good talk with my buddy Matt Hale in Australia.

Cleaned my glass doors.

Went to Stone Mountain this morning to record Verbal Surgery.

Had a good talk with my buddy Anthony.

Released another squirrel.

Blew debris off of my roof and cleaned gutters.

Rode my bike 15.24 miles.

Listened to radio for Madrid. Went through all the poetry I know. It’s about 40 poems.

Beautiful clouds tonight.

I was tired before I even got on my bike but I still did the whole route.

Studied Spanish and did my brain training.

Deposited checks.

Got some more hand sanitizer.

Picked up meds.

Did a zoom call for a conference in Brazil. It was a lot of fun.

Transported a squirrel.

Re-dug the ditch next to my garage slab. It’s been raining into where we parked our cars.

Cleaned it all out. That was some hard work. Most shovel work is!

Had to transfer everything from the garage out to the driveway.

Cleaned and refilled my hummingbird feeders and my bird baths.

I studied Spanish and did my brain training.

I checked out all the links for my presentation on zoom on Saturday at 1 o’clock. Everything looks good to go.

I made an order for groceries for the Walmart curbside service.

Big storm yesterday produced almost exactly an inch of rain.

I had a fun day with the grand girls.

I took them to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary near my house. We were careful and wore masks a lot of the time especially when we were around anyone else.

We had a good time feeding the goats.

I especially liked seeing the ringtail lemurs and the raccoons. The animals seemed well taken care of and happy.

It was a hot day.

It was nice to drink cold a Coke at the end.

I had my roofer come over and take a look at my roof today so he can give me an estimate about that.

I rode my bike 15.20 miles.

I listened to radio from Madrid as well as Harry Potter in Spanish.

Beautiful clouds.

I enjoyed seeing a bunny on the ride.

I liked this picture that was painted by an artificial intelligence. The computer had studied thousands of pictures before drawing this one.

I was sad to see this news about a summer camp. It’s the reason that we didn’t have any teams this summer for Whirlwind.

I studied Spanish and did my brain training.

It rained about a half inch yesterday.

I gassed up my car.

I added a little bit of oil and the oil cap fell into the engine block. Eventually got it to go all the way down to where the bumper was. I took the grill off partially to be able to get it out. What a hassle!

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “The Art of Forgetting.” I’ll release that this Sunday.

Had a great talk with my buddy Caruso in Italy.

Powerful thunderstorms blew through the ATL this afternoon. Power blinked off. Had to reset all the clocks.

Studied Spanish this morning. First day to work on the 5th level.

Grandgirls came over. That’s always good. We took them to the park. Had fun playing on all the equipment.

These lilies are blooming! They are special to me because they are from my Dad’s funeral.

I transported two squirrels today.

Got a new pocket chainsaw. Made short work of a big branch that fell.

Got groceries, cleaned them up and brought them in.

Rode my bike 13.25 miles.

Listened to radio from Madrid after I recited all the scripture and poetry that I know. Got all the way through Psalms 136 today!

Got caught in a rainstorm in my last 10 minutes. Wasn’t too bad. I was pretty safe.

Some kind of flying bug got into my shirt while I was riding and stung me multiple times. That’s not zesty.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery this evening called “Keep the Change 2.” Excellence incarnate.

I studied Spanish. I finished 168 levels and will start Level Five tomorrow. It’s quite an accomplishment, really.

Did my brain training.

Had a fun day with the girls. Everly help me put the new stickers on for my tags. She enjoyed playing drums while I worked on writing the checks for the bills. They are such a blessing.

Lots of showers in our area today.

Transported a squirrel. I doubt that job will ever stop until the winter.

Today marks three years that I’ve been a vegetarian. It’s been a good life choice.

Studied Spanish and did my brain training. It’s all about longevity and consistency! There are 168 different categories in Spanish on Duolingo. I’ve almost finished through the fourth level. That means I have successfully completed 672 different tests. I will start the final fifth level in two days. I have the ability to test out of each category which I did. The final level 5 I’ll probably do all the lessons involved.

It was great to have the Grandgirls come over today.

I took them to the Yellow River Wildlife Sanctuary. It was closed, but on my bike ride yesterday I saw that even though it’s closed you could still see some of the animals. The peacocks were wandering around in the parking lot. We had a marvelous time up close and personal with those birds. I thought it was great fun. The girls liked it, too. I’ll take them back when it’s open soon.

After the little one had a nap, I took them home in absolutely driving rain.

Went to the bank to deposit checks. That’s always good!

Listened to Harry Potter in Spanish on the way home.
