Groceries! Tree! Bike! 5.3.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 11:33 pm  

I thought this cartoon would make you feel great!

It was Kevin Kelly‘s birthday recently, he’s one of my heroes. He had some good advice for his birthday.

I read an interesting article about William Blake who is my favorite poet.

I also bought a new book of his.

I studied Spanish and verbs.


Did my brain training.

Had a great talk with my buddy, Anthony Jacquin.

I transported squirrel #101.

I picked up my groceries today from Walmart.

I wear a mask when I go over there.

I clean everything off before I bring them inside.

It was a beautiful, warm day today.

I’m still working on filling up the gap in my oak tree in my backyard.


It’s an on going project. I have to do it, let it dry then do the next level and let it dry. I’m getting closer all the time to filling in the gap.

I rode my bike 8.69 miles today.

I got started kind of late so couldn’t ride as far. I don’t ride when it starts getting dark.

The clouds were magnificent today.

I love the full sun moon.

I am studying more about seeing the Starlink satellites.It was a complete bust last night so I’m not only tracking when I’m doing it but which satellite streams were on there. For instance I was trying to see Starlink three last night. In a couple days I’ll have another chance to see them but this time it will be Starlink five.

I listened to Spanish radio from Madrid.

Also watched El Dragon in Spanish.

Made some lemon squares this evening.

I put some new caulk around my bathroom sink.

Also fixed my fusion razor. Needed a new AAA battery which I got in from Amazon today.

Anthony’s Birthday! Bike! Full Sun Moon! 5.2.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:53 pm  

I’m constantly working on titles for my podcast Verbal Surgery. Today I took four cards and wrote the titles that I had not done on just one card.


It’s my best friend’s birthday today. Happy birthday to Anthony Jacquin!

I track things like this in my One Year Bibles. I have two now.

The first one I wore out after 25 years.

Kathy and I tried to see the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds today. Sadly, we didn’t see them because they were too far to our West.

Spent time listening to radio from Madrid, Spain.

Also watched some of El Dragon in Spanish.

It was a gorgeous day today.

I looked forward to seeing the Starlink satellites this evening, but had no luck. I think the people that do the spotting programs are still working out the kinks.

I studied Spanish and did my Duolingo.


I had a 15.25 mile bike ride today.


Gorgeous weather. There was a full sun moon today. Always like that.


Did my brain training this evening.

Beautiful day today.

Released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “List-o-mania.” Practical, great tips and how to get more done.


I got my video from John 2 recorded and shared with my buddy Bill Cordrey who is one of our pastors at Rockbridge Baptist Church. I was glad he liked what I did.

I biked 15.37 miles today.

While I was riding somehow my water bottle fell off the bike. Which was weird because I didn’t even notice it! I took the holder from Kathy’s bike and put it on mine.

I recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery today called “Slippery Push.”

That’ll release next week.

Bubbles! Grandgirls! 4.30.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 12:21 am  

I did some studying about the Starlink program last night.

Made some lemon squares.

I also studied Spanish verbs.

This morning I studied more Spanish and did my brain training.




It was a cool day today.

The grand girls came over to visit. That’s always fun.

We had a good time with bubbles.


They also had some fun with me in the backyard. We picked up some sticks and I showed them some stuff about trees.

Worked on their hair. Gave Everly a little trim.


Filled up my car with gas after taking them back home to Chamblee.

I ordered some pinwheels for my yard. I always like that.

I tried to see the Starlink satellites tonight. It was too cloudy and it was just a very small chance of seeing it. I should have a better luck a couple days from now.

I created a PDF of the testimony that I gave for the case in London of a friend of mine who got hurt.

I left some voicemails with good friends of mine this evening.

I downloaded some other Starlink apps.

I learned how to record a video into iMovie directly from my Mac Air. That took some work as is typical for most projects. I think it turned out looking pretty good. I’m happy about it. I also used an external Samson mic. Made it sound way better than the computer mic.

I love this quote by Alexander Smith. We like people who are like us.

I studied Spanish and did my brain training this morning.




Nine years ago today I was in New York City with some of my best friends and I purchased this slice of brain that was originally from a medical school in New York. It’s at least 70 years old.

The grand girls came to visit with us today.

We had a lot of fun at the goose park.


I decided to figure out what kind of things we could feed geese.

t was a windy day today and made interesting patterns on the water. The same physics creates this type of clouds as well.

The girls love to jump!


I worked on the newsletter labels.

I ordered more labels.

Listened to radio from Madrid and talked with Everly while I was labeling.

Ashley got them in the mail.

I’m involved with a lawsuit against a hotel in London where a friend of mine was injured. I got the testimony done today.

Here’s what it will look like. Starlink

Worked on cleaning all of the sheets and pillowcases from my bed today.

Worked on printing out the newsletters that Ashley and I do. Printer wasn’t working well and I had to do a cleaning utility several times.

That was the first time I’ve been to my office in weeks. I’ve been taking this quarantine very seriously, except for my bike riding.

I had a fun talk with my buddy Anthony while I was waiting for those to get printed.

I went to Azalea to check on Ashley and her family. I took her the rugs that I cleaned.

The oak tree that I filled with the foam product looks better.

The hole went down about two feet,

Ashley and Miles came over for a short visit.

I went for a 15.75 mile bike ride today. My Runkeeper app stopped when I started listening to radio from Madrid.

Productive day. As most of them are!

My little rose bush is blooming. So is my Nepenthese pitcher plant.

Groceries! Birthday! 4.23.20

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:59 pm  

Rainy day here in the ATL. Makes the plants happy.

It rained most of the evening. Most of the bad weather went south of us.

I studied Spanish on Duolingo and worked on verbs.

Got the groceries from Walmart.

I always clean everything off before bringing them inside the house. It’s a pretty sophisticated process where they tag the order with a scan code.


It’s Kathy‘s 60th birthday this weekend. Two of her brothers and one of her sisters came over to our house to have a little party. That’s always fun!


I cooked some lemon squares. Delicious!

Had a great talk with my buddy Anthony Jacquin. That’s always a good time.

I recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery today called List-o-mania. It’s a good one to help you get things done.

I still need to do my brain training. I’ll get to it!

Fun day!
