Wonderful!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Love this!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been practicing flying drones with a simulator. It’s way more challenging than I thought it’d be.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It was better weather to fly last night, but who wants to fly in the dark?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m thinking about working on the test for the commercial drone license. I think it could be fun. Here is some of the subject matter. It’s a pilot’s license from the FAA for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OYB!
\n\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I went to Chamblee today to meet up with the girls. Penelope and all the kids at the mission have started on line school again. Since P and Everly have both had Covid, I’m cautiously optimistic that they have enough immunity to keep it from getting bad if they were ever exposed.<\/p>\n

Pretty hefty schedule, although today was lighter.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m glad my alma mater is doing this.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was good to touch base with my friend Tina from NAMB days. She’s helping with food distribution. I have some families that I think could use some groceries.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It took me about the same amount of time to get to Chamblee as to Global Mall.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Chilly.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I find these reports interesting.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Espa\u00f1ol!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I pushed myself to get there early just so I had the tech sussed out and Ashley could get to her staff meeting on time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Keep going. It’s the key to success.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s getting to be that time of year.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m becoming more aware of the air space. The ATL has a LOT of air traffic. This is where the mission is in Chamblee.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Started my new year off with a Verbal Surgery BANG! Released “Climb a Cactus.” <\/a> <\/p>\n

Some fun stories.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I would say that Penelope had a very successful first day with the online classes.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We had a snack of rice and beans and also went to El Torrero after school was out.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

We made a lot of progress then rested. Penelope and I caught up with the teacher’s Zoom call when we woke up. Then did one more session of work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I moved her work station to the living room. The teacher said that my signal strength on the Zoom call was bad. Sure enough, it had a weak signal in the kitchen but full blast in the living room where the router is. I’m glad we made the effort to make the Zoom call.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Penelope is super smart.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I enjoyed taking the grandgirls to Plaza Fiesta, although we were disappointed that the playground had been closed. <\/p>\n

They really enjoyed the cupcakes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’d say this crossed a line.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Harry!
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

I thought this was cool.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Picked up checks.
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

This would drive me nuts. I hope they mow lawns better than this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Deposited checks. That’s always good.
