Day 8 – begin a journal

As another day comes to an end I realize that I am already several days behind on this challenge. However I would like to continue the challenge. AoM describes how good a journal is to have as a memoir and as a reminder to my future self about my past. Starting today I will begin a journal and hopefully continue to write in that every single night even if it is just one sentence.

Today’s journal:

I finally came through in trying to make some jerky. It is in the dehydrator now. I will leave it in there for 10 hours while I sleep. It should be done around 2 AM.
I marinated the jerky for about 24 hours with Cajun and also hickory seasonings.

Today I also got a surprise. Austin called me from top of Blackmountain up in North Carolina. He is up there with kids for summer camp Rockmont with Michael. It seems he is doing well but distant from the world because of his lack of a phone. That doesn’t seem like such a bad thing to me.

This journal thing seems like a really good idea. I hope that I look back and this is not a decision that I regret. Anyways it is time for bed seven o’clock comes early in the mornings.
Good night.
