I got a cutting of plumeria from my Mom’s plant. A stupid deer had broken the branch off and chewed on its leaves. The powder is supposed to help with the rooting process.

OYB!

I took K over to pick up her truck. It was about $750.

Anthony’s book “Alter Your Reality” is out now. Had a good talk with him.

I got in touch with my roommate from Baylor, Dave Reiner. We went to ComeHoming together 20 years ago today.

I labeled and stuffed the envelopes last night.

Went to the Post Office and got them in the mail.

Bradley Isbell is with Student Life, a short term mission organization. They’re looking to establish a mission site here. I took him on Safari to Al Madina, Kitab book store, BAPS Temple, Global Mall, BHFM, and Plaza Fiesta. We also met the kids at the bus. Miles had picked up the girls at school early today.

It was a good time. I’m always proud of how much cool stuff my city has.

It’s Diwali now, a major Hindu holiday. The BAPS temple was absolutely gorgeous.

Global Mall was also really cool. I think Hindu art is so intriguing.

I love the crafts at Discolandia in Plaza Fiesta.

Ashley left me a nice note when I got back to the Mission at Azalea.

Helped the kids at the mission. One girl had a lot. They are enjoying doing art projects.

Deposited checks.

Don Cheto.

I put Servant Life on my newsletter list.

There were several ladies at the BHFM from Turkey. I wish I had studied up a bit. I got out Maribah at least.

I was glad that Bradley had a good time.

Just don’t stop.

Sent email to the Brothers. It has the video and photos that I shot.

I noticed that the tag for my suitcase had come off. It just said Amazon Basics. I’m going to glue a piece of plastic over it with silicon dap. I may do multiple layers.

OYB!

Beautiful weather.

Did a big load of laundry. Nine days worth. That’s rare for me.

The trays of water that I have for the carnivores were dry, but the plants still seemed moist. Filled them up with distilled water.

Full speed ahead.

Got the trash out.

I got in touch with Tim Deter. I have a solid date and time to get the insurance set up.

Wrote and produced my newsletter.

Got the letter to our church secretary. She had them printed off fast.

Jessi came with us to pick up the girls at the bus.

J needed to get some blood work and a physical done.

I took the girls to eat at Waikiki BBQ.

They liked the coconut and chocolate mousse cakes a lot.

I set up the Earnify app that gives me .10 off on gas. I got it as a perk from Amazon Prime.

Gassed up my car and checked the oil.

Went to the Post Office for stamps.

After getting into Austin eight hours later than supposed to, I’m glad the government is doing this. Southwest gave me $100 towards me next flight for all my trouble.

OYB!

It was great to have Jacob and his wife Liz to bring their little baby Clark over for me to see. What a blessing for the new generations!

Keep going!

My brother Jim took me over to the airport yesterday around 2PM. Got on the flight and landed back in Atlanta around 8PM. Finally back to Doraville where K picked me up. Got home around 9PM. Long day. Great time seeing family and friends!

Did some research into some of the bits we did with the NoZe Brotherhood. I’m going to work on a video for the current group to show them some things they could use with the crowd.

Checked in to my flight to the ATL for tomorrow. Hope I have better luck that last time!

Thoughts on retirement.

Wrote an email to Bradley about coming to see me on Thursday.

I contacted the NoZe brothers I met this weekend and sent them a copy of my book Story Tim.

OYB!

Español!

Wouldn’t want to live at this house. Spooky.

I looked for fossils and artifacts near the San Gabriel river. Beauty all around!

You can see where the Tonkawa Indians were shaping this. If it doesn’t turn out right, they just throw it down for me to find approximately 600 years later.

I love the way the limestone and water have worked together.

My path today for the fossils.

Went around downtown Georgetown, TX.

Nana and I had a FaceTime with Everly and Ashley.

Had a good meeting with some of my Texas supporters today at my Mom’s house. Guests included Charlie and Jodie Steger, Mark and his sister Rebecca Sutton, and Barbara Hays. Good times.

Helped my Mom clean up after the party.

OYB!

Español! Another milestone.

Spoke at the seniors SS class at Main Street BC. Saw Jim McKneely. Glad Nana got to see her friends too!

Went to Pinthouse Pizza to hang out with Jim and Kathy in Round Rock.

Joe and Beth Dickie came over to see us from Austin. Nana made veggie curry. Joe made an apple crumble. Everything was delicious. I enjoyed the company and giving them some gifts.

Helped Nana clean up the kitchen and put stuff away. I talked to Jim and Kathy about Nana coming to live with me when she is ready to move out of her house.

Contacted many of the Brothers telling them how much I enjoyed hanging out with them and offering them a PDF of Story Tim.

Friday, I traveled up to Waco to go to ComeHoming! There was a good group of Exiles that got together.

Had a fun time with the Brothers at the Bonfire and at the Parade.

The Noble NoZe Brotherhood turned 100 this year! Glad to be part of the celebration.

After the parade, I met up with Marshal and Mary Jane and Dan for lunch at Kitoks which was excellent.

We also went to the Mammoth site outside of Waco which was very interesting.

Got back to Georgetown about 4:00 PM. Really tired! Took a short nap then caught up on the blog. What a terrific time!

Happy Birthday to sweet Jessi!

I set this up.

OYB!

Español!

I got to the airport about three hours early. They finally started to load the plane and everyone was nearly on board. They then made everyone get back off and had to wait about five hours to catch another plane first to Dallas, and then on to Austin.

Finally got into Austin around 11:30 PM. Got my bag and caught an uber with an Afghani named Najeeb who took me on into Austin. Wow. That was a long trip.

While I was at the airport, I walked 1.90 miles.

These clouds of chlorine gas have got to stop! Crazy that they’ve had multiple fires at that place.

OYB!

This is great news!

Called my car guys to take a look at K’s check engine light. Good timing, since I’m going out of town for six days and K can use my car.

Trying to set up a time with my health insurance guy.

I may try to get this going.

Español!

Walked .65 miles.

One of my jobs is to shoot all the pages that I’ll be reading October 24-29th in the One Year Bible. I don’t really like to carry that much extra weight if I don’t have to.

Research on my trip includes figuring out the MARTA schedule and routes. I decided to get on at the Indian Creek entrance which is the station at the right of this map. That’s a lot less driving for K. I normally get on at the Chamblee station near the top.

Went to the bank to deposit checks. Thank you, Father!

Got a call from Pastor Stephen Peoples from Roopville Road BC this morning. He wants me to come to their Missions Conference the end of February. Another three days away from home. Not zesty.

K and I picked up the girls and took them to Dragon Wok.

Penelope had a soy sauce pack in her mouth. It wasn’t open.

Azalea to help the kids. Not much work.

Went to the church to pick up more checks, process them and deposited them soon after. Two trips to the bank in one day. Amen.

Kathy stayed at the girls’ house to help them with their homework and get some good hugs.

Ashley and I finally figured out the Venmo problem we’ve been having. With both of us working together, we were able to change the password and get logged in. It was quite an undertaking. I also called Stacy Hickle who had just sent us $200 dollars recently that we weren’t able to access. Now we have the money, plus another $100 that we didn’t know was even in there since 2023!

Looks like good weather for my Texas trip.

Keep going.

Are you kidding me?

I got many years of service out of this belt. It’s been with me to Jerusalem, Guatemala and the Amazon in Peru.

OYB!

Español!

Sandwiches for J.

Went to Walmart to get a new belt. Not an easy task. Pretty random sizes and colors.

Gassed up my car and checked the oil.

Great to talk with my buddy Don Howard today. He’s a fellow NoZe Brother.

Fun chat with my buddy Anthony.

Picked ups the girls at the bus and took them to Cicis. I had already eaten Taco Veloz and I picked up Chic-fil-a for Everly.

Helped the kids with their homework. There wasn’t much.

Lot of traffic on the way home. Listening to Don Cheto always makes it more fun.

Got a text from my friend Andrew Toney. Hopefully, he’ll bring a team soon.

Came in #7 out of 30 people last week. Very competitive. This coming week looks the same.

I had a misunderstanding with the team last weekend. They got it straightened out for me. Still having problems getting it from Venmo.

OYB!

Walked .56 miles this morning while I was studying.

Called my friend Dan Perez in Houston today. He’s struggling with finances. Gave him some cheering up.

Talked with my buddy Anthony this morning briefly.

I put bags around the potted plants in the living room this morning. Keeps them from leaking onto the carpet. Pretty hard job. Awkward.

Vacuum the living room after I worked on the plants.

Heard from my health insurance agent today. He’s such a big help.

Saw these weird plants at the Buford Highway Farmers Market where Everly and I ate lunch. We got some dragon fruit while we were there. We weren’t impressed. These goblin fingers were cool. We didn’t try them.

E and I picked up Penelope at school. She has Drama Club on Mondays.

I took the girls home so P could eat the BHFM food. The chicken tenders get hard when we buy it so late. She didn’t like them very much.

Went to Azalea to help the kids with their projects. Gave them all gloves. Thank you Selma and Joey Blackmon for that!

One of my favorite kids told me he was going to make a zero on his cell project. I looked at his paper and it actually said it was due tomorrow! So we improvised a 3D cell structure.

Just keep going. There are some very serious students in this group. Doubt I’ll come in the top three. I’ve accomplished that goal over 100 times. I really don’t have anything to prove. I just try to make over 10,000 a week. Sometimes that’s the best, other times it’s #7.
