Friday - No @thebugcast today. Dave & Caroline are attending a wedding.

Friday 18:00 - Arianna has booked 4 hours at Villainous Gaming Pub for her D&D group. Although not playing I shall be there, spending time with the group and as a barfly. #Villainous #DungeonsAndDragons #Barfly

Saturday 08:30 - Men's Breakfast in the CenterPointe Christian #Church building. I have already purchased Sausage Links and Patties, Maple and Regular. Picking Jack up at 07:45 in Georgetown. https://mycpointe.com/ #MensBreakfast #Sausage

Sunday 10:00 - Arianna, Eva, and I shall be attending Rhythm Church to support Jack and Lynne Brooks, as he gives #testimony of his heart attack and stroke 2 years ago, and his road of recovery since. So much to thank our Lord God Almighty for. #RhythmChurch #Heart
After the service the 5 of us, at least, shall be going to Ramsey's Diner on Leestown Road for #lunch. #Ramseys #RamseysDiner

Is the Dodgers' spending spree turning them into baseball's bad guys? We break it down on the Bar-B-Cast! #Dodgers #Villainous #BaseballBarBCast

After my successful procedure this afternoon ("come back in 10 years"), where I could not eat solid food for 1.5 days, Arianna & I visited Villainous Gaming Pub for excellent food and drink.

Arianna & I had a wonderful evening at Villainous Gaming Pub, Lexington, Kentucky, USA.
While we sat we listened to a Heavy Metal quiz for tickets to a concert at Rupp Arena.
Armoured MMA was on the TV.

Life is good my friends.
Yesterday I arrived home from work to 2 delivered packages that Arianna had taken into the house for me.
a) A boxed #PineTime #SmartWatch. It is currently still boxed, as I have not yet gotten around to opening it. Last evening I basically napped, had my supper, worked on an allocated #MissionAssist #Bible chapter, then bed.
b) A book: The 40 Day Discipleship Journey. This is the course that my CenterPointe Christian Church leadership are taking, and it was introduced to the Men's Group on Sunday afternoon. I ordered immediately, as Pastor Ethan is witness to! I hope to start this course soon.

Today at the #FoodBank, my main responsibility is to order dry packed Fruit & Vegetables for seniors, as part of the #USDA #CSFP program. I shall be ordering a year's worth, taking our future orders from 2026 to 2027.
Talking of future planning, it is now #Turkey season, with the vendors starting to submit their delivered pricing for #Thanksgiving 2025. By the end of this week, I should be informed by our own TX planning committee how many birds to order this year.
Also this week, I shall be ordering our mixed truckloads of Fresh Produce to be delivered to our 4 KY locations in April 2025. #FreshProduce
Told you that life is good, and I absolutely love my job. (Always wishing though that there was no need for my job.)

Other plans for today:
1) At 15:00 I hope to join MissionAssist on #Zoom for their monthly #prayer time. They are British based, so 19:00 for them, but since Sunday's Spring Forward I am now an hour closer. I should be joining them from my work office with closed door. https://missionassist.org.uk/
2) After work I look forward to being at #Villainous Gaming Pub for about 17:00. This is your weekly local reminder to come on out and join me. If you make it out, great, but I know I shall have a great time hanging out anyway. https://villainous.club/

The Kettle was on for my first #Coffee of the day.
I probably now need to re-boil the water!
Thinking I shall have Fresh #Raspberries with #Yogurt for breakfast.

Life is busy, and full of adventure.
How is your day? - I'm really asking!

Tuesday 06:20
Slept in 2 sessions overnight: last evening and then from abut 04:00.
Seems to be my new pattern. *

Currently listening to the 2:10:06 length uncut version of TuxJam 120, "Tunnels & Texts".
#TuxJam @tuxjam

Yesterday in my #FoodBank office I completed and sent out all the end of month reports. Today shall be more of a catch-up and clean-up day of files and paperwork.

I plan to be at Villainous Gaming Pub this evening from about 17:00.
Please feel feel to drop in and hangout with me.
Message me as needed.
https://villainous.club/ #Villainous

* Spent most of my overnight hours of awakeness backing up all of my phone and other pictures to pCloud, my chosen cloud service.
https://www.pcloud.com #pCloud
I have 2TB of storage with them, and have been very happy with the service for quite a few years.
Daily I sync pCloud to a local Hard Drive for extra backup.

Time for #Coffee and breakfast.

Hope you all have a most excellent day.

After work I had a wonderful visit to #Villainous Gaming Pub.
Now to head home, stopping at #Kroger for food and fuel.
Ruthven the Rav4 is informing me that he has 17 miles left. The drive home is 4.2 miles.

Tuesday 04:53
It's early o'clock, and I have been up for a while.
I did go to bed at 22:00, so I did try for a whole night.

Plans for today:
> Make #Coffee and a breakfast sandwich.
> Finish my #MissionAssist designated chapters and submit them to my Team Lead.
> Go to work at the #FoodBank. I have been informed that we now have enough Disaster Relief Food to get us through the crisis, so I am taking my foot off the ordering accelerator.

A friend told me yesterday that they were donating money to God's Pantry Food Bank, which of course I thanked them, and wrote this:
"I know I joke around about a Scotsman being in charge of spending, which is true, but we really can extend your money.
As well as purchasing wholesale, we accept truckload donations of food and product from National Donors (Conagra, Campbells, Nestle, Kellogg, etc) and still need to pay for the freight. You do the maths there as to how much we end up paying per LB, to give to our food insecure neighbours."
https://www.godspantry.org/
Thanks to all who have supported us during the Flood Crisis and ongoing with our Mission.

> Hope to go to Villainous after work. If anyone would like to join me 17:00 onwards please inform me. #Villainous https://villainous.club/
> Stop by #Kroger to purchase a meal snack for tomorrow evening's Church Growth Group, that Arianna & I shall be attending.

I hope you have a most excellent day.

Wednesday 05:29
I'm woke, or awake, you choose which.
Sometimes I just wake up and my body says "No more sleep for you."

After a long full catchup day in my #FoodBank office yesterday I went to #Villainous Pub, Lexington, KY to hangout and have a good meal.
Once again Mickey was my excellent bartender and was excited to serve me my ordered #Lobio.
"A vegan bean dish from the Republic of Georgia made with kidney beans, walnuts, fenugreek, & cilantro."
(I love how their menu description uses the Oxford Comma!)
A very robust and tasty meal indeed.
BTW: Yes I said "vegan", but like my good friend @geospart says "It's just food!!"
I washed down the food, and the extra ordered Seasoned Fries, with 2 cans of #Kombucha. This was my first experience of the beverage.
Thrive Brew's website is: https://www.thrivebrewco.com/
I enjoyed both the Evans Cider and Winter Sunrise.
FYI: They are non-alcoholic brews. My limit when driving is zero!!!

After that culinary experience I drove to Kroger to purchase a Meat, Cheese, & Cracker tray for tonight, and a bunch of Soups that we had ran out of.
This evening Arianna and I are attending our first Growth Group with families that partner alongside us for CenterPointe Christian Church. https://mycpointe.com/groups/
We are meeting in a nearby family home. Looking forward to the fellowship.

Time to make #Coffee and breakfast before I head on to work.
I hope and pray that you all have an excellent day. Look after one another!
