New Banksy!

Studying the Minor Pentatonic scale on the guitar.

Edited the video I shot of FBC Trussville. Uploaded it to YouTube. Sent the Thank You letter with all of the photo galleries and the video. That marks the team complete.

Been watching guitar videos.

Got some mosquito medicine ordered so the water for the carnivorous plants doesn’t breed them.

OYB!

Great temperatures. I often call this “Nakuru weather.”

Even though I’ve read the whole Bible through nearly 37 times, I still notice things I haven’t seen before. Today I realized that Judas went with Jesus to see Caiphus.

Español!

Coordinating with our friend Roopa about the tickets from Austin to Atlanta on Thursday, June 28th.

Did my laundry.

I enjoy figuring out things about Horizon Forbidden West.

Bad Suns are one of my favorite bands. GREAT to hear that a new album is coming soon!

Ordered more cologne. My last bottle lasted almost exactly two years.

I got up at 5:45 AM all last week in order to get my study time in.

I reckon I’ll come in first this week.

Sent the teams the address for Plaza Fiesta.

I found this very interesting, and true!

Deposited the big check from FBC Trussville. What a blessing. Thank you, Father. You are so good to me.

OYB!

I was reading about plants that are best for hummingbirds. I just ordered a coral honeysuckle on Amazon. I also got a fuchsia which is K’s favorite. I love them, too.

I did an abbreviated edition of the D Day show. The team leaders wanted to get to the missions early. I was fine with that although I was disappointed not to have that experience with them. They just don’t know what they’re missing. We had a great time together this week.

The weather was pretty good today. We did have some storms blow through.

OYB!

Sent information about the locations to the team leaders this morning.

Sent the schedule to them.

The girls were such a big help to me today. The cut red threads, helped me clean up the room, put index cards and pens out. What a blessing.

In nearly thirty years of hosting teams, I can never remember a week with more rain. Tough on the teams!

Español!

We had lunch at the Hibachi Grill. I took the teams through the BAPS Temple. Good times. At the end of the day, the Temple opened up all the doors so the kids could see the idols. These shots are just half the group!

They really have been a wonderful team!

OYB!

Español!

Cool. Rain held off today. Amen!

I mopped up the mud that came under the door because of the rain. What a mess.

Sent the teams the locations for the Safari today.

I reckon I should honk.

After The Show, I took the girls to BK for lunch.

Don Cheto on the way home.

Dominate.

Went by Azalea and Shallowford Arms to check on the teams.

I liked the sound of this.

OYB!

Español!

Water leaked in through the exterior door of the fellowship hall.

The team dealt with major rain today.

Everly came with me to check on the teams and take video/photos.

Keep going.

Great day with FBC Trussville! Such a fun group with a lot of energy!

Poured down.

Got gas and checked the oil.

I always think these oil spills are beautiful.

I came in third place last week. I used my extra points today for this week’s competition. I should come in first place this week.

OYB!

I’m hoping it will rain in the evening and dry out during the days. That would certainly help the teams!

Did some research for a sleep study for J.

Confirmed with Pamela that we are bringing the team to the Buford Highway Farmers Market for lunch tomorrow. First day with the big team!

I’ve enjoyed practicing playing guitar along with ZZ Top. I’ve seen them play twice, once with Jeff Beck!

Watered my plants.

New week. Keep going.

I’m watching a series that’s shot in Oxford, England. Beauty.

Vocabulario.

I got a free three month subscription to News+ from Apple for getting my new iPhone 16 Pro Max. I initiated it.

OYB!

Español!

Supposed to be wet weather all next week. Hope it dries out in the afternoon for the teams.

K and I went to Chinese for lunch. I brought back Thai for J.

Don Cheto.

I got some fish fertilizer for my plants.

I made an account with Roland who makes the DS-1 pedal that I’m using.

I had fun jamming with ZZ Top.

I’ll come in third place this week. I decide to save my extra points for next week since I was in the top three already.

I’ve enjoyed watching the Eternaut in Spanish. It was made in Argentina. I liked how the kids were singing the same song that Everly was teaching me earlier in the day!

I had a good talk with Nana. I sent her pictures and a video from this year’s Kenya Safari Rally.

OYB!

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony.

Perfect weather. I call it “Nakuru Weather.”

Sprayed my roses with Neem oil. Got some more for later. Damn black spot.

Cleaned my bike and aired up the tires.

Good ride. Pushed myself but not too hard. I have some difficult hills for sure.

I set up a little area for me to jam. Wireless amp connected to my iPhone for music. Fender amp. Tried out my new Boss DTS-1 distortion pedal which sounds great even when not turned up very loud.

Decided to play my Les Paul Custom. It’s not nearly as heavy as my Les Paul Studio. The Custom is the guitar I played in Baylor. The Studio I played with Cruz here in the ATL.

Close competition for second and third place. I’m not uptight about it.

OYB!

Español!

Ordered some new ear buds. My old ones suddenly disappeared. Weird.

I sent a package about my housing allowance to Paychex by hard copy Overnight Mail. It never got to Paychex. I went to the Post Office today to get help. The Postmaster contacted the Post Office in Phoenix, AZ. Apparently, that location no longer receives mail! So they are sending the package back to me. When I called Paychex about the situation, I was able to get the supervisor’s correct email. I sent him the package from my tax guy to him by email. We’ll see if it works out. I’ve done everything I can from my end.

Got a notification from one of my pastor friends about his team coming.

Picked up J’s meds from Publix.

Vocabulary.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “The Weight of Wait.”

I agree with this 100%!

Vocabulary.

Fun talk with Anthony.

OYB!

Tied up a wire to hang a hummingbird feeder from. I have four feeders up now. All of them fresh and clean.

Went to the Post Office to pick up stamps for my newsletters and for the Thank You notes that I’ll start writing soon.

Ordered groceries.

Deposited checks. Thank you so much, Father.

Kathy helped me stamp and stuff the envelopes. I really appreciated that. Then took them to the Post Office to mail.

Ordered some new batteries for my Boss DTS-1 distortion pedal for my guitar.

Picked up the groceries on the way home. Put them up as well as putting the dog food into the container in my back yard.

Won’t stop.
