PE! Newsletters! Car Key! Stone Mountain Xmas! 12.30.24
OYB
Beautiful day!
Came in #1 in the Duolingo leagues last week.
From time to time I have to put some ant killer out.
Got to Ashley’s house before 8:00 AM this morning. Early for me. I was up about an hour before dawn to study Spanish.
We went by the church to drop off the newsletter. The church secretary printed them off for me not long after. Took the girls to Waffle House to wait.
Went by the Post Office to get stamps.
Picked up checks while I was at FBCD. Processed and deposited them.
Beautiful clouds.
Went back to the church to pick up the copies. Stuffed the envelopes and put on the stamps while PE skated around the Fellowship Hall.
Dropped the newsletters off.
We went back to Ashley’s house to pick up Ryder, then over to Brook Run Park to check out the Dog Park. Had a great time.
I decided it was time to head back to Stone Mountain. We got the pup hooked up and headed to the car. When I got there, I realized the key had come loose from the fob. That’s not zesty. We looked around the dog run for about thirty minutes before I decided to use the hide a key that I had underneath the car. I was absolutely gobsmacked that that hide a key had fallen off! I just couldn’t believe it.
I looked thoroughly and then called a locksmith. The man in charge had a very strong accent. When the tech called me he also had a strong accent. When he texted me he used a letter that I reckognized as “Kah” in Hebrew. It would be like us typing “k” to someone. Turned out I was correct. He was from Israel. I told him I had studied some Hebrew and quoted the Aaronic blessing to him in Hebrew. He was impressed.
It was a long process to get the key code from Honda, program two keys (I ALWAYS have a back up), pay the bill, having to call the bank to approve the transaction . . . it took hours.
I gave the technician as much information as I could about how to find my car and what it and I looked like.
I finally turned on Share Location on my iPhone. It was easy for him to lock in on me then. It really is amazing technologyl
Everything was $489. Reasonable. The stuff is really expensive. Key codes. Mobile assistance. It’s a high tech thing for sure.
We finally got on the road, went back to Ashley’s to drop off Ryder. Miles was home by then so it was a smooth transition.
We headed straight to Stone Mountain to go see the Christmas lights and watch the drone show. It was pretty crowded.
We had a really fun time. Got a bit cold at the drone show but not bad.
There were these big hoses that fog was coming out of. I lifted up the hose so I could shoot it more at the girls. It looked supa coo.
I love shooting Christmas lights. I like doing a slow shutter and shooting and moving the camera suddenly to make swishy effects.
The light shows were really first class.
Don’t stop. Won’t stop.
