I’ve been enjoying playing the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn which is Forbidden West. It’s a huge game.

K and I went to the Lazy River pool today. My arm is still bothering me, so I spent most of my time just floating around in the shallow end. After we were done, I went to the bathroom to dry off and put on my clothes and I slept and fell. I only sprained my big toe. Could have been really bad. Whoosh.
Good chat with my buddy Anthony. We often talk while he’s cooking.
Man, it was hot today. My car said it was 100 degrees.
Did my laundry.
Called Jon about a paycheck that Ashley was missing from the end of February.
The city of Chamblee is working on part of the road in front of Azalea.
Picked up my girls at the bus. I took Penelope to get Vietnamese food then we ate it at Taco Veloz where Everly and I wanted to go. This is becoming a regular thing these days. Two different locations. Hard to get everyone to match up. No big deal for me.
I liked this license plate.
Bunch of kids at the mission.
Cleaned the mission before I left. Took out the trash. Won’t be back there till after Labor Day.
Sprayed my pink magnolia with fungicide and watered her.
Gassed up my car.
Went to my office to check the mail and water my ficus.
Processed the checks and deposited them at the bank.
Don Cheto.
Mileage.
I dropped my car off at Garmon’s Auto Service on the way home. Kathy came over to pick me up. I’m getting the oil changed.
Normally, my score would be in the top three for sure. Sometimes there are a lot of serious students. I don’t get uptight about it. Let some other people win.
K and I went to Perimeter Mall for lunch. I also went to the Apple Store to pick up my Mac Air which needed a new display.
Great to hear from my buddy, Fred Sorrels. He’s in Paris working with the Niger team at the Paralympics.
Hot today.
K and I picked up the the girls and took them to Waffle House.
I had never seen the yellow wrench warning light in my Honda CR-V. Wasn’t sure what it meant. I called Garmon Auto who are my new car guys. They told me that it meant there was maintenance due, which is what I thought it was. Time for an oil change. I asked them if it would be good to do it on Friday, which they said it was. I’ll drop it off over there on Thursday evening.
I dropped K and the girls at their house and went on to the mission to work with the kids. There weren’t too many today, which is a blessing. I do my best work when I’m not completely overwhelmed.
I worked on getting the resolution on my Mac to look right with my TV. Took me a while. Not particularly easy.

I had a good talk with Anthony this morning. We discussed some issues with the book that I thought could make it better.
Cleaned and refilled all the bird feeders.
Xfinity came by yesterday and put the wire back up. Looks OK.
Watered the rosebushes and the cherry tree by the street.
Ordered groceries.
Went to Chamblee and ate Vietnamese. Picked up the girls at the bus and took them to the Beaufort Highway farmers market. Worked with the kids at the Mission.
Picked up groceries on the way home.
Got a message from Apple that my Mac display is repaired. Kathy will go with me to Chamblee tomorrow to be with the girls. We will pick up the Mac at the Apple store and probably eat at the food court at Perimeter mall.
Apple Store! Newsletters! Pastor Bill! Lonnie! PE and their rooms! Azalea! October 26, 2024
I signed up for the Apple Store and went over there early this morning. The Apple tech said that it was a bad display and that they could get it fixed five days. Went from there to First Baptist Church Dorville to turn in my newsletter. Had a good talk with Pastor Bill about his music Director leaving. Just general issues working with churches. Went to talk with below for lunch and to fold and stuff the newsletters. Most of the job already been done before hand. Went to the Post office to get stamps and put them on the newsletters and put them in the mail. Talked with Lonnie about doing workshops at Azalea. I told her I think she needed to do a survey first because I didn’t think anybody would really turn out for anything. Picked up the girls and took Everly to Chick-fil-A and Penelope to CC pizza. After we ate, went over to their house to see the girls rooms. They had moved the furniture around and looked really cute. Took the girls over to Azalea with me to help the kids at the Mission.I’ve gotten away from giving out drinks and snacks because it’s just such a mess. I don’t think I’m sick but I sure do feel tired. I’m my arm is bothering me.

The screen on my computer suddenly went dark today while I was working on my newsletter. It had what looked to be a dead area on it last night. I’ll be taking it in to the Apple Store tomorrow morning. I’m not sure what they’ll do or when I’ll get my computer back. Therefore, this may the last post on my blog until it gets fixed or replaced. Oh, well. I’m glad I have insurance on it.
I liked this and have found it to be true.
I’ve been enjoying playing Horizon Forbidden West.
WX!
Had to deposit a check this morning.

PBJs for J.
Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Price Is Nice.”
Produced my newsletter and printed a copy to photocopy tomorrow. I have all the labels on the envelopes done, just need stamps.
Screen went dark. Made a reservation to take it in tomorrow morning.
Pray that the guys at Apple can get my computer running tomorrow. Amen.
Last night, when I turned on my Mac Air, the right hand side of my screen was dead. I’ll have to take it in to the Apple Store next Monday and see if I can get it squared away. I’m glad I paid for insurance.

Did my laundry.

Dropped off a bill at the Post Office. Tried to print my stamps for the newsletters but the machine wasn’t working properly.
Went to Sweet Basil to pick up some food for J.
Called my Mom and left VM. She was at a mission meeting I reckon.
Always learning new words.
Went by the library to pick up a Covid test. Couldn’t get the registration to work for the test. Went to Walmart to pick up another test that would give faster results.
Don Cheto.
Played Horizon Forbidden West. Great game.
Keep going.

WX! Interesting string of potential hurricanes in Asia.

Called Comcast/Xfinity to ask when they were going to put the internet wire back up. They said it was in a queue and should be done by Monday. We’ll see.
Called Jack Romano. Turned out he wanted to sell me insurance.
Cleaned and refilled my bird feeders.
Watered my outdoor plants.
Blew off my roof and cleaned the gutters. I’ll have to do that job every couple of weeks during the fall.
Blew the deck and the driveway.
Last part of the job is to roll up all the cords and put my equipment back up.
We’ve had the power go out several times lately. Today I reset my plant light timers.
Cleaned off my outdoor carpet near my back door.
I put some rocks around my baby rose bush. Helps to remind me to be careful with her.
Fun chat with my buddy Anthony. I rested while we talked then went for a bike ride.
I injured my left arm when I hauled those big logs from the branch that fell last week. I cut my ride short because of it hurting. Rode 6.00 miles. I’m sure working on the roof impacted it.
Listened to Don Cheto while I rode.
Saw this bumpersticker on my way to lunch.
Dropped off some of K’s old clothes at the thrift store near where I ate.
