Bike! Clouds! 4.17.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 6:34 pm

Beautiful sunny day here in the ATL!

I studied Spanish this morning. I’ve been emphasizing verb work.

I spent some time in my blue pool catching some rays. I only stay in the sun about ten to fifteen minutes.

I studied Spanish while I was doing that.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery today. It’s a great one about getting things done called,“Great Big Log.”

I’m working on filling in the hole that one of my trees has developed. I cleaned out the hole. I’m letting it dry out right now. It’s supposed to rain for the next few days so I’ve covered it up with plastic.

When it gets dry again, I’ll use some expanding foam material to fill up the hole. If it rains, the water will just drain out rather than stay at the bottom of the tree and rot the center of the tree some more.

I had a 15.67 mile bike ride today. It was a lot of fun.

The clouds were especially interesting to me today. Some of the formations I like to call “zipper clouds.”

I’ve actually talked to NASA about naming these clouds.

Some contrails are very smooth on both sides and others have the zipper formation.

Today, I actually saw one contrail with a zipper going up and further down the zipper going down. Tha’s very unusual.

I also saw a contrail going through another contrail. You get a feeling for how big that first one is when you see the second line go through the size of an airplane.
