Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning. I didn’t study languages yesterday, although I thought I did! Streak starts over. No big deal.

Had a great party with my kids instead!

Took our team from Humble, TX to the Hibachi Grill in Norcross. Super good. Kathy and the girls joined us there. Always fun to hang with them.
Then just around the corner to the Kitab Bookstore. It’s the largest Muslim bookstore in America.




Omar, the owner, gave gifts to every kid on the team.

Then took the team to visit the BAPS Hindu Temple in Lawrenceville. It’s a magnificent structure! Took around a million man hours to build. Over 34,000 pieces that fit together like Legos. Three kinds of stone including Italian marble, Turkish limestone and Indian sandstone. Took about a year and a half to build.

Said my goodbyes to the team. They went on to work at one of the missions then to the Braves game this evening.

I went home to work on the audio version of my book. I got the rest of the files from my audio engineer from Venezuela last night.

Nearly four and a half hours of fun!

Also uploaded an edited version of the cover that says that I’m the narrator.

Next step is quality control. My recording was very good, but not perfect. That’s why I needed an engineer to tweak it. He took out any background noise and got it ready for ACX which is the distribution arm of Amazon, Audible and iTunes.

In less than two weeks it will be ready for the public! The audio version is the way to go. Lots more fun when I read it for you!

Pretty exciting stuff!
Once that was complete, I focused on editing the videos I shot for out two teams this week.



I do all the editing with Videoshop on my iPhone 7+. It’s powerful software!
Worked on my shower. Cleaned up the silicon from the grout. Finished about a third of it. I have to take my time and make sure it looks good. I’m working with a big razor blade in a handle. Have to be super careful.
Then went for a 4.73 mile bike ride.

It was getting dark when I rode and looked like it was going to storm. I have become super conservative riding my bike. I used to ride like a bat out of hell. After my third wreck and one near deadly accident, I go way more slowly especially around corners and wherever there’s any chance of cars. Just makes sense. I also never ride if the roads are even slightly wet. Because of the possibility of storms I cut my ride short. Still fun and great exercise!

I thought these butterfly wings were cool.

Sent an email to the chairman of our board asking about a Spanish church that could work with a lady that we met at one of our missions this week.

Admin duties now.

I still need to send the final email to the teams with the photos and video as well as promo material this evening.

Had a fantastic day today! Released my new book Story Tim! A fun project that took me over eight months to complete. Read it! Here’s the link! Click HERE and buy the book for your infinite pleasure!

I saw a guy who looked just like Frank Zappa there!

My friend Mustapha is the owner. He made it special for me!

Mixed up bubble solution for tomorrow.

Refilled my hummingbird feeders.

Also cleaned and refilled the bird baths. Put more food out for the birds and raccoons.

Contacted my audio engineer who’s working on the Audible version for Story Tim. Want to make sure that the credits are correct or I if I need to add something. I have Friday to make that happen.

I tried twice to beat 10 different levels of Duoling at the same time this morning. I’ll try again this evening.

Never seen this before. Ice in the urinal. What?

Ashley and I had a great time with our teams from Humble, TX and Litchfield, CT this morning!

Went to Westside BC this morning.


Pastor Ben spoke from James about doing your best and dealing with “STUFF.”

I like verse 17 in particular.

Transported and released squirrel #39.

Recorded a new podcast! Great one called “Darkest Light.”

I have six “in the can.” Right at my target goal of seven. I’ve been good using the mic and not getting too hoarse. So I’ve been able to record at least a couple every weekend.

Converted my sermon notes to tweets for Twitter. Uploaded about another 65.

Rode my bike 12.96 miles.

I only started Runkeeper when I was a little over half way through my ride. The mileage came from the exact same ride from August of last year!
I love crossing the bridge at the Yellow River.

Perfect weather. Astonishingly cool today.
Saw two raccoons at my feeders tonight. What a blessing.

Studied Spanish and Swahili this morning.

Recorded a new podcast! Astonishing how much I love to hear myself talk! It’s called “Super Normal!” Should release in about two weeks.

Had a pre-Birthday party today! Had family members come to celebrate!



After the party, I went by two apartment complexes to remind them that we are sending teams their direction next week.


I set out some new crow decoys.

I’m not sure the crows like them. One of their heads got pecked on.

I worked on the audio version of my book Story Tim this morning. I hired a guy to do the cover art for the Audible version and also an audio engineer to tweak the sound files.


I didn’t have the equipment nor the expertise to make sure they were correct for ACX which is the publishing arm of Audible. I have an international team from Sri Lanka and Venezuela!

Enjoyed seeing Ant Man and The Wasp with Jesse! Fun movie!

Watered my plants.





I thought this was appropriate. Georgia now has a mandatory hands free law.

Admin duties now.

Studied Spanish and Swahili about 4:30 am. Woke up. Decided to do something productive.


My book is on the way to me!

The crowd waiting for the release of Story Tim as covered by CNN. Lol.

Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Different Difference.”

We kept the girls for a few hours today. Always a blessing.

Deposited two reimbursement checks. This will enable me to zero out my credit card debt again. Amen.

Rather than try to figure out how to convert my Kindle cover to ACX for Audible, I decided to work with Fiverr, which is an internet based freelance worker system.

I’ll have them work on the cover as well as tweak the sound files to make sure the tech parts are up to speed for Audible.
Admin duties now.
Editing video and uploading for my team last week.
Will answer some questions from my graphics guy this evening as well.

Wednesday evening I did a study on Japanese folk songs related to crows. The things I find interesting!

Huh.

Transported squirrel #36 to the forest 5 miles from my house.

Cleaned and refilled hummingbird feeders.
