Doggy! Anthony! Nana! Oil! Laundry! 10.31.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:47 pm  

I broke my little dog. Superglued the pieces of his tail back.

Rode my Yosuda bike. I normally ride after I do my blog.

I’m interested in learning the minor pentatonic scales.

Vocabulario.

OYB!

Español!

Beautiful weather, but on the cold side.

I called Jennifer from NAMB today. I left her an extensive voicemail.

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony.

Took my Mom out to get her hair washed and dried and her nails done. I always feel better when I look good too.

Checked the oil in K’s truck. Added a bit to top it off.

There was some residue left from the removal of a sticker on the inside windscreen. I got after it with alcohol and then windex. Looks better now. Also did the outside.

Laundry.

Cut my hair and shaved.

I hope they keep helping with subsidies.

Just a little better every day.

Cold! Bank! Newsletters! Azalea! 10.30.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 9:20 pm  

I took my Mom’s boots that didn’t fit to Whole Foods to drop off at the Amazon kiosk.

OYB!

Español!

Cold trend.

Nana is helping me keep the groceries on the list for Walmart. I don’t mind going to Walmart and picking them up and putting them away, but I don’t like doing the ordering part.

Got the title in for the Lincoln. That was a job.

I deleted my Mom’s old address from the newsletter list since she lives with me now.

Picked up the newsletters at my office at FBC Doraville. K helped me stuff the envelopes. We mailed them at the Chamblee PO.

Deposited checks. Thank you so much, Father.

The wall cloud of Melissa. Highest winds ever recorded. 141 mph.

K and I took the girls to the BHFM and then to the Mission to help the kids. Windy and cold.

Gassed up the Lincoln and checked the fluids. The latch for the hood was super hard to open. I got some WD 40 and soaked all the mechanical parts associated with that latch. Worked effortlessly after lubrication.

Rained 1.80″.

Picked up groceries.

Keep going.

Anthony! Plants! Voting! Hurricane! 10.29.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:02 pm  

Vocabulario!

OYB!

Got a new fluorescent tube for our kitchen sink light. I got the old one to work. Not sure what’s going on.

Rainy day. We stayed home. Miles was able to pick up the girls. Would’ve been a bad drive for sure.

Español!

Good chat with my buddy Anthony! I talked to him about moving my plants inside and my new Soduya bike.

Kathy and I voted in some local elections. I thought there were some congressional votes to do. While I was there, I checked to see I’m my Mom’s application/voter registration had been filed yet. It hadn’t.

Hurricane slammed Jamaica.

Rode my bike 31:53 minutes. 11.36 miles.

Keep going.

Rain! Plants! Azalea!10.27-28.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:40 pm  

Interesting!

New wax melts on the way. I’m into aromatherapy.

Rainy Monday. Penelope and Everly spent the night at Papi and Gigi’s house last night and skipped school. Ash and Miles picked them up. Because of the weather and girl situation, K and I didn’t go to Azalea.

OYB!

I came in First place last week. Good chance of a repeat this week.

Hurricane Melissa is breaking records.

Watered my plants in the Green Room.

I put the “Blue Wall” together last night for the first time since last winter. I stapled together a sheet and a blanket to fill in the bottom part.

I also closed off my window to keep the cold air out. I have a layer of fabric and a beach towel over it. Seems to keep my office area a a little warmer.

Rode my Yosuda bike 30:28 min last night. !0.93 miles.

J was thinking about getting a taller one for storage. I’ll have to get this one in and ship it back.

OYB!

My Mom and I went to the Department of Driver Services to get her a Georgia ID card. She’ll be able to vote soon. We had to drive there twice because they needed a marriage certificate to prove the name change.

Had to come back home to get that document. Even with THAT it turned out to be problematic. I’m not sure if I typed in the SS card number correctly. It can happen when you’re filling out long forms on your phone. We did get it squared away and she’ll have that card in the mail soon.

Español!

K and I took the girls out for Waffle House. My Mom enjoyed a pecan waffle this evening.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

It was pretty cold today. I gave out gloves to many of the boys.

Went by my office to pick up checks and water my ficus.

I have the code to return some boots to Amazon. I’ll take them to Whole Foods for drop off. It’s near the Mission in Chamblee.

Just keep going.

Cold! I wore my “full metal jacket” which means, map jacket/vest/hoodie with knit hat.

Español!

Recorded and released Verbal Surgery “Proguise.”

Wrote and produced my newsletter. Also printed and posted all the labels as well as the new photocard/magnet.

Father, keep the Jamaicans safe. Amen.

J’s Party! Plant Light! Carnivores! Bike! 10.25.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:35 pm  

Wild life!

Ordered timers for the plant lights in the Sun Room.

We had a fun time at our party for J!

OYB!

Español!

Cooler.

Hurricane.

Keep going.

I have to take a picture of the instructions so I can zoom in on the words with my phone.

The extra light looks good. I will lower the one I put in today so it’s closer to the plants.

I put my plants in their winter containers. The carnivores need a dormant period. I will bring them in if it’s going to freeze.

I broke the box that my Yosuda bike came in down for recycling.

Rode my bike 5.99 miles in 38:32 min.

Apple Health collates the data from FED and Runkeepers apps as well as its own sensors.

I put magnets on the family pictures we are sending out to the Whirlwind Missions supporters. I buy big sheets of them and cut them to size.

One more day.

Presents! Nana! Shots! Hair! Bottles! 10.25.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:11 pm  

I set up everything to get my Mom’s Georgia ID card. We will go to the Dept. of Drivers Services in Lawrenceville to finish the application in person.

I rode my Yosuda bike last night for 32:05.

Vocabulario.

Wrapped presents for J.

I took my Mom to get her Covid and Flu shots at Walmart.

I picked up a few things while I was at Walmart. Got an extension cord and a light fixture. Also got a hook to hang the light from. The Walmart app is very helpful. It shows the aisle number and where it is in store.

Went to Walgreens to get Mom’s blood pressure meds.

Wash and dry.

Went to the Post Office to get a change of address form for Nana. She’ll need proof of that for her GA ID.

Nakuru weather.

Refilled J’s water bottles.

Put them in her fridge.

Listened to Don Cheto during my bike ride.

Rode 12.44 mi in 1:27 hrs.

Duolingo changed a couple of things in their app. We used to be rewarded if you worked in the morning and after 6PM. Not any more.

Bike! Lights! Bday Card! Azalea! 10.23.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:21 pm  

Just finished printing these up for her.

I’ve enjoyed using my new bike. The POV videos from YouTube made the ride more fun. It’s cool to imagine riding around NYC or down a mountain path.

OYB!

Clear blue sky. It’s primarily Nitrogen that gives it the blue color.

Español!

Plugged in our “All Year Lights” and reset the timer.

Checked the mail at my office.

Ryder chewed up Penelope’s little key ring toy. I sewed it back up. This is how it’s supposed to look. And my repair.

It’s Jessi’s birthday tomorrow! We signed a big card that Ashley made.

Helped the kids at the mission.

Coordinated with my Mom’s physical therapist.

I should come in first place this week.

Wednesday, October 22, 2025

Bike! PEK! Azalea! 10.22.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 8:43 pm  

How many of these do you know?

Jessi and I got my new stationary bike working great! I installed the app that goes with it and then did a ride.

Cool day.

OYB!

Español!

I went to Ann’s house to pick up my Honda CR-V. Drove it to Chamblee to work. Parked it back at her house this evening.

Big spider out the kitchen window. They’re everywhere in the yard.

K and I picked up the girls from the bus (it’s now getting there about 3:05 PM.) Helped the kids at the Mission.

I told the boys to straighten that median out. No luck.

Another day, another palabra.

Plants! Podcast! Azalea! Yosuda Bike! 10.21.25

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:20 pm  

Ordered supplements for J.

J connected our Walmart accounts. It’s easier for her to make orders.

I returned the purse for Everly with the wrong letter. Dropped it off at Whole Foods, along with an air mattress.

Watered my plants.

OYB!

Español!

Watered my roses.

My podcast server was having issues yesterday. I was able to upload the file no problem today. Verbal Surgery -1125- “Too Hard Job.” Excellence in self-motivation.

Did laundry.

I hung a light over the banana plants. I’ll do one more soon.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

Great to see Mustak today!

My Yosuda bike came in today! The container was a bit damaged but the bike was fine. J helped me put it together.

Just. Keep. Going.
