I broke my rule. I didn't think about it. I didn't even dream of problems like this. I bought the Dozer without having someone who knows about heavy equipment look at it. I tell my customers, don't be a car without taking it to a mechanic first. I... didn't. ...And I paid dearly for it. … Continue reading 2021-03-10 — Dozer Dozer… Ugh.

Hola. Tired. Clean. 4 hours of sleep. 8 cars on schedule. 7 cars visited. 4 of them paying jobs. Didn't get to a paying job until like 3? 🙃 Good day, though. 🙂 Y'all would be proud. I bowed out of rabbit-hole jobs, threw in the white flag on jobs that were just... too much... … Continue reading 2021-03-09 — Burning the Midnight Oil, Pt. 2

Please say prayers/send happy thoughts to yours truly. Gonna be a week of burning the midnight oil. I forgot about taxes being due on the 15th for me with my new business structure, and since I used my the-world-is-frozen-around-me time as down time instead of tax time, I'm... in a world of hurt right now. … Continue reading 2021-03-08 — The Midnight Oil, Part 1

Well... I didn't get to bed until 4. 😬 Funny, though, my body is just... weird. I actually do rather well on low sleep ***if*** I stay up way late and let the light wake me up. I got probably 4ish hours of sleep. Something about getting up with the sun... it just works better … Continue reading 2021-03-07 — Try Again Tomorrow

So... I bought another vehicle today. 🙃 Can you guess what it is? Might the title give any clues? Yup. 😶 I did. I certainly did. I finally did. Today I bought an old (70s, I think?) John Deere 450B bulldozer aaaaaand a trailer to haul it with. 🙃 Now I just need a truck … Continue reading 2021-03-06 — Dozer-Dozer-Man

Hey folks, I'm tired, and it's late, and I've been... dragging badly. Just... burned out today. I went out to work on cars, and I did one freebie, and it was raining, and I just called the day and that was that. I was gonna come home and be productive, do scheduling and work on … Continue reading 2021-03-05 — Drag Wiped

Two steps forward... I'm still making progress, bit by bit. 🙂 I got more of my morning routine done this morning, even though I stayed up later than I should have (partially to help me be better prepared for tonight's journal, ironically) and didn't get up until almost 7:30. I got all of my 5x5s … Continue reading 2021-03-04 — Keep On Truckin’

Tick yesterday, mosquito today. Must be springing. Was in the 60s today. So nice. So so so nice. 🙂 Let's see, still not doing so well at the 4:30 and 8:30, but I'm making other improvements. Probably won't show as much in my accountability summary, but changes of heart don't quantify so well in numbers. … Continue reading 2021-03-03 — First Mosquito Bite

Hey, folks. I'm tired. Long day. Good things. Easy things. Hard things. I slept in. I don't even remember what kept me up last night. I was all set to get to bed on time, and then... something came up. It's 9:38 right now. I'm realizing that 8:30 is probably the bedtime I'm gonna be … Continue reading 2021-03-02 — Opportunities Everywhere

Hi, folks. 🙂 8:30. Are you proud of me? 🙃 I was up late having an important conversation with a friend, so I slept in today quite a bit. The cool thing is that I managed to do most of my routine anyway, even with the pressures of the day pounding away at me. I … Continue reading 2021-03-01 — Season’s First Tick
