K and I took the girls to Bojangles for breakfast.
Always drama in nature. We were outside Bojangles and Penelope saw a spider being pulled off by one leg by an ant.
Always good.
Penelope and I played some Borderlands together. She’s pretty good!
Miles came over and picked up the girls around 3:00. We had everything ready and packed up.
Jessi and I are working on a mycelium project with a pressure cooker. I set up an area that should be impervious to the heat: bricks on a concrete slab.
Mr. Google took me through a lot of neighborhoods this morning. 78 and 285 were both packed.
My girls!
Azalea for Super School. Everly got to page 100 in her workbook! That’s a lot of effort. Penelope has been working super hard on her multiplication tables.
I got them each a Bitzee which is a little digital pet. They deserved the reward.
Went to the church to take back the clicker for my computer and fill out a form to reserve the Fellowship Hall for the team next week.
Set up lunch with my buddy Jon Paul for Thursday.
Took the girls to the library near my house. All they wanted to do was play with their new pets. We came on home pretty quickly.
HOT. I kept the kids indoors.
My bother Jim had a meeting with the doctors and staff at the rehab center where my Mom is. I joined them via cellphone. Nana is making steady progress.
I had my groceries for a 3:00 PM pick up. They finally confirmed it was ready this evening around 9:00 PM. I’ll get that tomorrow.
Started teaching Penelope the guitar. It’s pretty hard for her.
K and I took the girls out for supper at MJ’s.
How can you use this? Silly girl.
Beautiful cirrus clouds. Most of the day it was a completely clear sky. That’s unusual for the Summer.
Gassed up my car and checked the oil. It went from $2.99 to $3.39 in less than five hours.
Lots of good students this week. Not sure I’ll even break the top three. I’ll give my best effort.

Spent extra time studying Español last night, in particular word placement and pronouns.
I don’t have my podcast on Spotify. A friend was telling me I should do it. I don’t really care.
OYB!
Cleaned the area behind my toilet.
My old (#3) shoes turned out looking good after the paint job. I decided to repaint my #2 set of shoes.
I went to Ann’s house to turn her AC down a bit. Her wheelchair was inside the garage. She was gone. As I expected, I later heard that she had been transported to the ER. She’s not in good shape.
Ordered back up earbuds. I couldn’t find mine this afternoon. Eventually, I realized they were underneath another set of cords.
I use these little bags to carry my vitamins around. I also put little gifts in them.
Recorded a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “The Other Side.” Excellent.
I’ve been enjoying looking at the wind, weather and satellite apps. So beautiful.
Even Apple’s wx app is interesting. These days I’m particularly interested in learning about high and low pressure areas and the direction of the winds.
I’ve been into Personal Knowledge Management for decades but I’ve never had a place I could put things that was easily searchable before. I’m using the My Mind app now. It’s like visual notes with AI search power.
Español!
OYB!
I put a new flag up. It’s the NoZe Brotherhood’s colors.
Did the laundry.
Español!
Prepped my bike.
Rode 12.58 miles.
Hilly ride.
During my ride I saw this big snake skin. Not sure what kind.
I wore these shoes to ride. When I got home, I painted them.
Most weeks I would think I was going to come in #2. We’ll see.

Corresponded with Bluehost a lot today about my websites. I went ahead and signed up for three more years to get a massive discount. They will reimburse me what I had been charged. The price for hosting my websites will go from about $800/year to around $150.
OYB!
Nice in the morning.
Washed J’s comforter at Azalea in the industrial strength machines.
Love my girls!
Sprayed my Pink Magnolia with fungicide. Hope it helps.
The girls found some beads outside the mission. They made a little town for them.
Kids worked hard in Super School this morning.
We do some of the workbooks and then focus on multiplication tables.
We still have about six weeks left of the Summer.
I found out today that a flag like this means they support the January 6th coup.
We ate at the Downwind restaurant at the airport today. Delicious.
Had fun at the Chamblee Library.
Everly read seven books and Penelope read nine. They have a goal of twenty five during the Summer.
Don Cheto.
Bank to deposit a check.
Keep going.

The girls were confused when I told them that today was officially the first day of Summer.
I can see this being a total disaster in Mecca.
OYB!
Español!
Get out early if you’re going to do anything.
The girls and I hiked Stone Mountain this morning.
We enjoyed looking at the carvings.
The oldest one we found was near the top from 1816. Two hundred years old!
We did great on the hike. They were very strong.
We had ice cream, pretzels and popcorn for a treat.
We hiked a little over 2.54 miles. This was how long it took us to get to the summit.
They like to climb on the trees at the top.
Practicing their balancing skills.
Bubble gum rock.
The big P.
I showed the girls my favorite carving. It’s from the “old ones.” Some ancient language that has been lost to antiquity. I’ve spent hours doing research on who might have done this.
Everly is especially interested in lizards. We saw four on our hike. We saw two Fence Lizards and two five lined skinks.
Went to the museum after our hike to see how Stone Mountain was formed.
Then to see if the German Bakery was being repaired. It was not. That was really sad for us. It was one of our favorite places.
Then to Chick Fil A to eat. The girls tried to enjoy the playground but it was way too small for them.
Went to Ann’s house to check on her phone. She said it was working fine. The house reeked of urine. We made a hasty retreat out of there.
Got a pie and some gum from Kroger. This looked funny to me.
I’m not sure what this is about. I sent it to my tech guy to determine what’s going on. I thought he updated this already.
I’ve started using My Mind to organize the notes I take every day. Wish I would have been using this over the years. It would make it super easy to search what went on when. I upgraded to the paid version today. I can see myself using this a lot.
I find the wind app Ventusky fascinating.
Relentless with knowledge acquisition.

K and I took her truck over to Garmon to get the oil changed. They said the check engine light was some type of evap system malfunction. Doesn’t effect performance.
Cooler today.
Powerful winds in the gulf.
Español!
The girls got some exercise with me.
Indeed.
Hiked 2.54 miles. Eighteen hills.
PEK came with me to the Mountain Park Aquatic Center. We call it the Lazy River. We had a good time.
Called Nana. Left her a voice mail.
We ate at MJs this evening.
Enjoyed UNO with the girls. I taught Penelope and K how to play this evening.
