OYB!

Cold and getting way colder.

Came in second place last week in the Duolingo leagues! Español!

I took K to her CT Scan for her heart. Hopefully, it’ll show no blockages.

Arc Raiders is such a great game.

The sunset was fantastic tonight.

Talked to Jimmy about when he could bring over the girls.

Picked up the groceries. Got gas and checked the oil.

Confirmed the appointment with my Mom’s eye doctor.

Incredible sunset.

Moonrise.

Blocked off my windows. Made sure my “Blue Wall” is secure. Getting ready for really cold temperatures outside. In the 20’s!

Checking on the girls.

Dripping the pipes.

Keep going.

It’ll be a battle for third.

Arc Raiders fashion.

Vocabulario.

OYB!

Mild and cloudy.

Big changes coming.

Cleaned and refilled my bird baths.

I put protectors on the outside faucets.

Recorded and released Verbal Surgery “Resolution Revolution.”

It’s our 40th anniversary today! What a blessing Kathy has been to me. We ate at Provinos for our anniversary. It was delicious.

Beautiful sunset.

I’ll come in 2nd this week.

Vocabulario!

Reconned the area I would be working. Plant prep.

Dig a hole. Pick a plant. Line them up with the roots. Put them in the hole. Put the chunk of dirt back on it. Stomp it down hard.

Sat down to hydrate and rest a few minutes.

Just keep going. Always figuring out ways to do it better.

Final product for this round. Thorough watering.

Practice streak building.

I looked at this all morning long. It was enough to make me keep working on the Monkey Grass project.

OYB!

Beautiful weather.

Español!

Scales.

Fun chat with Anthony.

Laundry.

Listened to Don Cheto while I harvested the monkey grass.

Raked the area I was planning on harvesting first.

Dig it up, clean it off. Stack it.

Then I shake off the dirt from the roots and pile them up carefully.

Once you remove the monkey grass, there is very little left.

There are two types of Monkey Grass, the spreading and the clumping varieties. Mine is the spreading variant. It sends out tendrils which then grows another plant.

Total amount removed and space cleared.

Added water. I’ll transplant them tomorrow I hope.

Took Nana for her hair wash and dry. Then to El Torreros for enchiladas y sopapilla al modo.

Keep going. Feeding neurons.

This was a bummer. I was really looking forward to playing Arc Raiders last night. So it goes.

OYB!

Eye doctor next week for Nana.

Español!

Perfect weather. I really enjoyed being outside today. Even though the yard work was hard. I sent the weather pic to my buddy Anthony in Celsius.

Ashley sent a package to my house. She thought it was the present for me. Turned out to be drinkable skin tan. Not for me. Dude. I’m darker than most of the kids at the Mission.

I listen to Don Cheto while I’m working.

First, I dig a set of holes about 12″ to 18″ apart. I dig a chunk of soil out of the yard. Then put the plants along one side and fill the hole back up.

Cleaned up and watered the new transplants.

OYB!

Nakuru weather. Perfect, really.

Español!

Weird not to see Big Red in the garage.

Took my carnivores back outside for a week. They’ll come back in on Sunday before it freezes again.

I’m back to the Monkey Grass project. I still need to fill in the north part by the driveway and the section with the Pink Magnolias near the street. Then I’ll consider the project completed.

I let my neighbor know that I’d be back in his yard again.

Picked up the trash containers from the street.

Listened to Don Cheto while I worked.

I’m moving this section of monkey grass to my front yard.

First part of the job is to rake all the leaves out of the way. Then pull all the English Ivy up. What’s left is just the money grass.

Put all the plants that I harvested in my Gorilla Cart. Filled the cart with water to keep the plants moist.

Brought all my tools to the front in preparation for planting the monkey grass near the driveway tomorrow.

Watered the plants in my green room.

Keep going.

OYB!

Español!

Mild!

Listened to Don Cheto.

K brought me home some veggies from Always Fresh.

Went to DQ to pick up an ice cream birthday cake for Jesus!

Went to Publix to check on meds for J and pick up some scratch offs for the party.

Vacuumed the house.

K did a good job getting Big Red cleaned out. Everly and I helped moving the heavier stuff. She’s been a faithful transport for our family for the last fifteen plus years.

We parked Big Red at Ann’s house till Kars for Kids can pick it up. We’ve donated a lot of cars to them over the years.

I took Everly to the Doggy Park. I make her obstacle courses. We rarely use the playground as it was designed.

I got exercise walking around the park.

Ash and Miles came over and brought pizza and goodies. The girls were SO happy to see them!

Girls talent show.

Keep going.

Came in second last week.

We left the Expedition at the Doggy Park last night because we couldn’t get it started. I got a message from the police that evening. K called them first thing this morning and left a note on her truck.

I thought Eric Barker’s blog was interesting. I’ve had a few lucid dreams.

OYB!

Beautiful day.

Went to Ann’s house to pick up my Honda CR-V. It fired up with only a slight bit of hesitation. Went back to my house to get K. Then to the park to jump off the Expo. She fired right up. Cable had some corrosion on it.

Took the truck to Garmon’s to get checked out. Needs a new battery and cables. Will cost about $350. Not sure yet whether we should invest more money in her. My gut says no.

Took the girls out for Hot N Cold.

Then to the playground at Stone Mountain.

Final stop was the 1,000,000 sq ft Amazon facility near Stone Mountain. They call it ATL2. It’s hard to get the scope of its size. We will schedule a tour another time. We just checked out the main entrance.

New week, same result.

Beautiful sunset.

Arc Raiders is a special game. I’ve never seen anything like it.

OYB!

Español!

Did laundry.

Ordered groceries. Actually, Jessi and Nana do most of it now. I just go get them and put them up.

Went to Stone Mountain to record “Try to Like.” It’s a good one.

I’ll probably come in second this week.

In Arc Raiders you can wear many different types of uniforms. I got a new “skin” last night called Macrame. It looks Asian. I did some research on the designs.

Cold night, but beautiful today. Especially for yard work.

Great to hear from supporters!

OYB!

Español! Listened to Don Cheto while I raked.

It’s a big job.Especially for just one person. I still did it pretty fast. NE part of the yard.

I worked 1:49 hours.

I had been rooting my little pineapple top. I put her in a pot today. She’ll be with the plumeria.

Push.
