Month: April 2021

25 April 2022, A week in progress

I have moved to a weekly entry until my life gets caught up a little.

This is about all I have left of my parents.

The COVID numbers are about as low as they’ve ever been.

Narrative: Sunday, church services in the morning and spent the entire evening moving my network onto the new firewall.

Monday: Built some cables to connect the new Peavy speakers and put a connection between the two firewalls for management. Looked into cost of plane tickets and rental cars.

Tuesday: Cleared church equipment out of our cars.

Wednesday: Church services in the afternoon. Added $15 to our three sponsored children for COVID related expenses. I realized today that my driving skills have gotten rusty. Need to drive more often!

Thursday:

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know. We were able to help a family get electricity this year! They are very grateful!

Retirement: We’ve spent 10K on an air conditioner, need to make that up.

Purchases: Conservation mode, we’re more than 3 paychecks in the hole.

Repairs:

Religion: We were called to read the book Crossing the Line, i am on chapter 5.

Family News: Going day by day.

Arts:

Travel: Florida travel looks well out of reach!

Taxes: I need to finish them.

Pi News: Love em, but no time to play with them.

Media: No Instagram posts today I’ve made a couple posts to FB EcoFlow R600 Group.

Injuries: No injuries.

Accomplishments: None.

4 April 2021, a week in progress

I have moved to a weekly entry until my life gets caught up a little.

This is about all I have left of my parents.

The COVID numbers are about as low as they’ve ever been.

Narrative: Sunday, church service was two car loads of equipment and a lot of work, but it went very well. Beautiful weather by the time we had service! I finally got the large Yamaha speakers out of the bedroom, they are in storage again.

Monday, making plans and getting an update on the news this morning. Spent the morning sorting wires and repacking the audio equipment for storage. This afternoon I loaded up the car and took it to storage. Our car will be empty for the first time in weeks. Mowed the front lawn today.

Tuesday, ran to the office first thing this morning. I pulled the cover off the broken amp and it looks like D2 is shorted.

Sent a message to L and he picked up the unit for repair. He dropped off the pre-amp that the potentiometers were broken, it’s repaired! Mowed the lawn this afternoon, the squatting neighbors haven’t.

Wednesday: The weather wasn’t as nice as Tuesday so we worked inside. The amplifier may take a while to repair so I did some engineering to run all the speakers on the one amplifier I own.

Thursday: I ordered a third monitor speaker for the lead singer. I need to buy one more s115 Yamaha speaker for Sunday. But they are in stock so no big deal.

Friday: We worked on family stuff and played a game of Scrabble.

Saturday: We had a Zoom meeting for the Sunday service, hardly anyone was there. I put K’s chase lounge together and worked on indexing scriptures in the gospels so I could remember where things are.

Feelings: As Christians we are compelled to look after the Widows and the poor. Just how we do that in this climate when there is so much energy fighting the democracy I don’t know. We were able to help a family get electricity this year! They are very grateful!
