2021-01-18 — At Least I Got the Trees

Today was a bit of a nuthouse, but every day is a good day. It’s just good in different ways. 🙃

The best part of the day for me? Probably the 30 minutes I chose to take, time I didn’t really actually have, to go out to the woods this morning before leaving for my first job and to cut down a couple trees. They were much more challenging to get down than I’d hoped, but I got them down, and that was at least a success for the day. 😊

I had another success as well. I went out to a car that wouldn’t start, and I was able to figure out that someone had somehow removed a vehicle’s main PCM (computer) relay. Not sure how that managed to happen. 🙃

David had a great day, so that was nice as well. He did seven cars.

To my one. 🙃

Good day. Some pretty good frustrations here and there, but… every day is a good day. 🙃

#1. I’m grateful the trees came down without me getting hurt, without other trees getting too much damage. That was nice. 🙂

#2. I’m grateful that I was able to get that one van figured out and that the customers were super happy with me.

#3. I’m grateful for frozen poison mangoes. Love those things. 🙂

#4. I’m grateful for the great conversation I had with my brother Richard today. Good stuff.

#5. I’m grateful that my chainsaw is working well.

Thought of the Day: If you meet a sectary, or a hostile partisan, never recognize the dividing lines; but meet on what common ground remains,–if only that the sun shines, and the rain rains for both; the area will widen very fast, and ere you know it the boundary mountains, on which the eye had fastened, have melted into air. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Thanks, y’all. Keep on truckin’.

Lift the World.

  1. You are my lumberjack hero, Stephen! I have a 10″ electric chainsaw, but it doesn’t do big trees. 4″ diameter is about all it can do. Which is right at my comfort level, anyway. I do dream about taking down some of the big ones, though. Way to go!
