Good day yesterday, some rain fell upon Wee Little Farm.
Later Allan was able to extract my Excalibur pedal from Steve’s crank, so I rewarded his efforts with beer at Schoolhouse Brewing. We were joined by ITP-Reader Sal, and my buddy Chip.
I am considering crashing Trees Atlanta’s volunteer day today. The signup says that it’s full this week, and next, so I might show up and see if they turn me away. If I don’t, I will wander over to WLF@UFO and see how that raised bed is doing.
I may be picking up my new, as yet unnamed, bicycle tomorrow.
Though it won’t renew for another month, I’ve run out of Audible credits. Since I have enough audiobooks to last me until my demise, I decided to cancel my account and save the $150/year cost.
Wordle: five, my starter was CLAIM
Audible is $150/year? Seems like a good one to give up, when the Libby app is free – Allan used the Libby app all the time.
uses – not used. Audio books & E-reader books
Yep, twelve credits for $150. Even worse, I lost credits one year because they don’t roll over! I intended to cancel last year, but missed the window of opportunity.
Apparently I have 316 titles in my library, some of which will go away when I no longer pay for a subscription since they were “perks” for being a subscriber.
My back is a little sore from my “fun” lumbar puncture at the Emory brain study appt – but its not too bad. 3rd time doing this – they had a new test- watching an iPad with a bunch of pictures – I guess measuring your eye movements? MRI will be in July, then I guess I will get paid? I’ll have to check my emails.
I got a message from Ebay that the new to Paulie frame will be here Friday too.
(I told Allan we need to start listing some of the bikes in the attic – but getting all the details, year, etc will be a pain)
Nice!
Decided not to crash Trees Atlanta. I walked over to check WLF@UFO. About half of my okra and beans seem to be surviving, one of my peppers plants seems diseased. I met a crop neighbor, a friendly woman named Irena, who was digging her potatoes. I have to attend a workday from 9-12 on Saturday, it’s part of being in the community.
Stopped at Betsy’s house to say hello, and the wandered to Emerald City Bagels where I bought a bagel and coffee.
FYI- it’s humid out there…
Hmm, my Audible is 14.99 per month, which is $180 per year. I always thought you couldn’t keep your Audible downloads unless you kept paying, but you’re saying you can? If so, I will cancel my subscription, because listening to 30 hour Victorian novels on my 12 minute commute every day means I listen to about two books per year. And half the time they’re not even under copyright anymore so they are free downloads.
Had a good day yesterday, except for the fact that my co-workers gave me a party. Like, anyone who has known me more than 5 minutes should know that I hate those things. Anyway, I survived. Kevin and I went to Double Zero for dinner and had their amazing cacio e pepe, then I watched the Red Sox lose and was in bed before 10:00.
I am of the belief that I own (a license) to the books in perpetuity. If not, I will be pissed but not surprised.
Even it I listen to thirty books a year it will take me ten years to listen to my entire catalog!
Well please report back if you lose any of the downloads for which you paid. I would love to stop losing credits every month.
My subscription officially ends on July 23, so I will report at the end of July.
I guess the Libby app does only let you keep the book for 2 or 3 weeks – I’d have to ask Allan the timeframe – but – you can always re-borrow it
I discovered last night that I am simply not lazy enough to ride on a bicycle-shaped scooter, as my son called it. Last year Denver had e-bike sharing, but now that program has been dumbed down to this infernal fucking scooters. I’d rather just walk, thank you.
bicycle shaped scooter – that’s a great description
It is indeed.

I’ve been getting moving so early in the last 2 weeks, I wondered how there were already 8 comments and then I saw it was 9:30!! Time flies…
As I rode South, I kept watching the weather and saw it was moving away mostly. Right through the heart of town in the HOV lane and I moved along pretty well once we were passed the North Avenue curve. 13 days, 12 states, 3200 miles, 6 days camping. A very good trip. I’ve already looked at next years’s rally- Great Falls, MT- on the map. Would take Debbie and the trailer for that one.

You got used to that 5am sunrise… 😀
Woot, sounds like a great trip!
Sweating to the gardening, trying to learn how to save lettuce seed so that I don’t have to buy any for next year.
