It’s late. I’m late. It’s 11:27. It’s been a fairly smooth day. π
My first job kicked my butt a little bit. It took two hours to find a coolant leak because it just wouldn’t… leak. Finally, as I was about ready to give up, I managed to get it to leak by turning the AC system on, which added a decent amount of extra strain to the system and finally got it to leak.
Wahoo!
The rest of the cars (I finished 8 cars today πΆ), went relatively smoothly, almost without hiccup! It helped that three of them were battery jobs and one was just a lug nut issue. π
And… so… yeah… might have broken a record today for the most money I’ve personally made in a day without help. If not broken, certainly close to it.
So… that was all pretty nice, and three people gave me tips as well, so that was cool, too. But the best part of the day was that my friend Brittani messaged me. π Hadn’t talked to her in a month and a half. That been cool. We’re actually texting while I’m writing this. π
#1. I’m grateful Brittani reached out today. She reached out, in part, I think because she found something from years ago that was important to both of us, something she thought had been thrown away that just… appeared out of nowhere.
#2. I’m grateful that special thing was found.
#3. I’m grateful for a relatively smooth day, after the first beastly one.
#4. I’m grateful that the charger came for my big expensive scanner. I’ve been surviving without that scanner by the skin of my teeth. But… it’s here, and my scanner is charging. Wahoo!
#5. I’m grateful to be… on my way to bed.
Thought of the Day: βI would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.β
