Strike Set! ACCCN! Podcast! Base Station!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Thursday and Friday it rained nearly 3″! Wow.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Went to the church to strike the set.
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

There’s a luncheon in the Fellowship Hall on Sunday. I’ll have to go there Sunday afternoon to set everything back up. The good news is, every time I get better at it and faster.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Went to Azalea to check on our team from the Atlanta Chinese Christian Church.
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

They seemed to be doing just fine! I spent all my time with the team from Tennessee. The team from ACCCN have been doing this about 10 years now!<\/p>\n

Got all the checks ready to deposit.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Recorded a new podcast!
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

I love this edition themed on effectiveness and getting things done calle, “Lists and Logistics.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Just click on the title and Groove!<\/p>\n

Uploaded to my server.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Link on Facebook.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Got the supplies for Jesse’s new tent. He wants to try sleeping outside more. Fresh air.
\n\"s\"
\nWe can run a cord into the tent so he has power. Makes a world of difference if you have a fan blowing on you!<\/p>\n

Started getting the supplies together for the base stations for the HTC Vive. J has two of them. Amazing. <\/p>\n

Saturday, I went for a 5.01 mile run. Pretty hot.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Always beautiful things to see!<\/p>\n

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

Danger! Poison Ivy!
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

These look tasty.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

I thought the ferns growing on this tree were interesting.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Oh, yeah. Better keep doing this.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Gardenias are blooming.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Just about finished the drainage repair.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Ate lunch with Jesse and Kathy. Always good.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Came back and rested for a bit.<\/p>\n

Then started cutting, drilling and setting the base of the base station in concrete.<\/p>\n

We’ll attach the mounts to the pole with electrical tape.
\n\"s\"
\nWe had to make sure it would support the weight of the laser box.
\n\"s\"
\nOf course the pole will be painted black.<\/p>\n

I tried to teach Jesse some simple things to help your project do well. Sort all the material is one thing.
\n\"s\"
\nDrilling the hole into the end cap was the hardest part. Literally.
\n\"s\"
\nAfter the base pipe is cut and drilled, we put it into the plastic container and poured the concrete around it.
\nYou have to agitate the concrete so that the air bubbles get out and it sets together.
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"
\nMake sure the base is level and strap it into place with electrical tape. <\/p>\n

We had to get an extra 50lb bag of Quick Set concrete. Didn’t quite have enough for the fourth pole.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Sunday, We’ll paint everything and wire them up! Yeah, baby!<\/p>\n

They each weigh over 15 pounds so they should be super stable.<\/p>\n

Gassed up the car.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

BEST news is that “my” mama raccoon is back! SO great to see her again. I’ve started putting the food out in the evening rather than in the morning to give her first dibs.
\n\"s\"
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Admin duties now.<\/p>\n

Yes, please.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

I like the changing costumes.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Solid sunshine.
\n\"s\"<\/p>\n

Growl.
