Laundry!

Watered my downstairs plants.

Started propagating cuttings from the Japanese Laurel plant by my window. I’ve had the little branches in water for the last couple of weeks. It recommended that I put the plants in a mixture of perlite and soil that is wet rather than just water.

I had to wash and drain the perlite until the water runs pretty clear. I did it five times. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Set up the work area. I have a tarp to keep my floor clean.

Trimmed half of each leaf off to reduce the water necessary for the roots. Mixed soil in the with perlite. Very wet, almost slushy.

I threw the rest away.

Rather than making a bunch of individual planters, I’ll keep all the plants together in the flat container. You can see the soil mix in the closeup shot.

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

I got the bike rack out so I can take Beauty to Aztec Cycle for repair. Brake cable needs to be replaced. I’ll get a general tune up while it’s in there.

Paid my property taxes.

Swept my outside carpet area. I shook out and hung up the tarp to dry.

I have my gloves folded inside out so the fan can dry out the fingers.

Put the bike rack on the Honda.

Went to Stone Mountain to record “Pressurized.” Released it.

My goal is to be in the top three. I’ve had a score this high one week and came in fifth.

I’ve enjoyed making these Mandelbrot fractals.

Got the clamps to firm up the monitor arm for J’s bed.

I’ve enjoyed using my Lumenate device.

These are things I think about.

Not quite as hot.

Cleaned and refilled all the feeders and hung them back up.

Cleaned and put up my gear.

Got gas and checked the fluids. Spent time cleaning the windshield. Got so focused on that job that I forgot to document the gallons/price.

Picked up treats at Walmart.

Don Cheto.

Cleaned and refilled the birdbaths.

Watered the outside ornamentals.

Refilled feeders.

Studying this Japanese Aucuba plant. I have a lot of cuttings I need to put in a growing medium. The research says that’s better than just in water.

Cleaned my bike and pumped up the tires.

Unfortunately, my brake cable broke. I was able to finish my ride since the other brake worked fine.

It was pretty hot. I’d say it was a hard ride.

I’m hearing thunder outside.

Keep going.

Great time with Brain Training last night with my EEG sensor and Lumenate.

I’m interested in the body’s electrical fields.

Jodie sent my Mom a new pillow. It’ll help her shoulder while she’s sleeping.

HOT.

J and I went to Lowes to pick up supplies for the arm we’re building for her computer.

Dropped J off at our house and went to El Torerros to get food.

J and I went through K’s GLP-1 medicine records to try and figure out exactly how much we’re spending each month. Then I started following leads on third party providers like AltRx. It’s a complicated subject.

Helped J build a new base pole for her computer monitor.

Push.

I enjoy exploring fractals.

Did my brain training with my new Luminate device and my headset. So much fun to explore what my brain can do.

Confirmed an eye appointment for my Mom.

Felt hot today.

Had a good visit with Hyacinth from Rockbridge BC. She’s the new missions coordinator for the church.

Talked to our health insurance agent about K’s GLP-1 meds.

Went by my office to check the mail.

K and I took P out for Cheeseburger Bobby’s. Everly was at her Flagarrette practice.

I brought some cups for stacking and my pen for her to draw. How many cups are in this picture? Are you sure? It almost looks like something MC Escher would do.

Custard for a treat. We for sure didn’t tell Everly about that!

Went to Huntley Hills to pick up Everly.

Went to Azalea to help the kids. We got almost all the homework done yesterday. Had a little bit more to do today.

This picture popped up on my feed.

Beautiful.

You know the drill.

My Lumenate came in last night. Absolutely fascinating! Incredible visuals. My brain syncs up with the flashing lights and helps with my brain training.

Background on the technology.

Seems hot but tolerable in the shade.

Set up a lunch with Jon Paul for next week on the 23rd.

Sent a letter to my friend Ron Wallace who works for WTOC in Savannah, GA. Every time I get a box of these Krispy Kremes I think of him.

K stayed home today. Her leg was bothering her. She’ll come with me tomorrow. Whenever I’m by myself driving, I always listen to Don Cheto.

Went to FBCD to check the mail.

Just me and Penelope today. What a blessing. We ate at Cici’s then went to an antique store to look around.

P and I went to Huntley Hills to meet up with Everly and Ashley.

Helped the kids at the Mission.

I’ll probably come in second this week.

Brain Training.

Not quite as hot.

Ordered groceries.

Got slightly over 2″of rain in the last week.

Did my laundry.

Went to the UPS store to return a HDMI cable to Amazon.

Took the garbage to the curb.

Went to the church to get the mail and check on my office.

I’m going to help K with her GLP-1 meds. Eventually, most things come to me to figure out.

This was a great weekend seven years ago. I was on the Head Hacker team at a hypnosis conference. We had all five of us together in San Diego.

From Everly’s door. I showed it to her and she crumpled it up and threw it on the floor.

This will be a fun competition I reckon.

Came in first place in the Leagues last week.

EEG!

Ordered gum and sheets for J.

OYB!

Hot.

Fun talk with my buddy, Anthony.

Went my FBCD to check my mail.

I sent this to Ashley to let their dog Ryder check it out.

K and I picked the girls up at the bus and took them to eat Vietnamese.

Penelope’s art.

Took them to the grass hill park before going to the Mission.

Everly stayed home with K.

Had a lot of third graders today. Tons of homework.

The kids enjoy playing games.

Busy weeks. This doesn’t count working at the Mission.

Just. Keep. Going.

Brain training.

Interesting.

OYB!

I originally crafted my website with HTML. It’s my life’s work on line: www.whirlwindmissions.org. Twenty-five years ago today. Wow.

Español!

Still seems hot.

Cleaned and refilled my feeders. I have six big ones. The hummingbirds are not drinking as much of it because only the juveniles are left. They’ll be gone soon. I change it weekly to keep the solution from fermenting in the heat.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called, “Water.” My batteries conked out on the last five minutes, so it’s also the “endless episode.” No way I was going to re-record forty minutes of podcast.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father!

I’ll come in first place this week. Claire, who is third place, has been competing with me over the last five weeks. I’m sure she doesn’t like to see me in the same lineup.

Did a lot of brain training last night.

Rainy.

Tracking my new shirts.

K and I had a fun time at Dr. Pat Barrington’s birthday party. She’s a good friend. It was fun to see Michelle and her kids there too.

K loves babies.

I think this is the last cord we’ll need to fix up J’s new set up on her bed.

Push.

I like this shirt, but I can’t find it in the style I want.

Ordered more lens wipes.

Glad to hear that Everly made the team! I knew she would. She was very serious about it.

Not as hot today. Thunderstorms blew through. I don’t think we got much rain.

Ordered more handkerchiefs. Not sure why I run low. But they are a critical piece of kit.

I take a bag of trash out every day. About the same for recycle.

OYB!

Started using my new hangars.

Did my laundry.

Took Nana to get her hair and nails done.

Miles didn’t come by. Jimmy thought he might.

I haven’t been impressed by the last bag of potting soil I got. Needs more perlite. I’m putting some of the plants in saucers to keep the soil wetter.

J’s therapist mentioned this new technology.

My new shoes don’t look so new anymore. Decided to paint them. I clean and dry them first.

I boiled water with oxyclean and soaked the shoestrings.

When I paint, I completely cover the shoes. There isn’t any raw leather showing.

Rain.

I ordered more shirts.

Needed more shoe paint. That stuff works great.

Big day for me on Duolingo. I went over 4,000,000 XP.
