Almost 2:30 a.m. Can I get away with saying it's early? 🙃 It's been a long day. Very long. Started a bit rough... Driving away from the house on DeGraff, the garbage truck was coming the other way, and... it's a very narrow dirt road. I drove about a foot into the weeds on my … Continue reading 2021-07-30 — A Bit Rough

I was hopeful today wasn't gonna be as wet (sweaty) as yesterday. The air was drier to start the day, and though it was hot, since the humidity wasn't too bad, I was fine, honestly. But... somewhere around... maybe 3 o'clock? it started to get bad. And I started leaving body prints on the pavement … Continue reading 2021-07-28 — Dog Days X2

Drip, drip, drip. It was so hot today. So hot. Gonna be even hotter tomorrow. I think it'll be 96 or something, plus all that humidity. Can we say sauna? 🙃 Groceries came this morning. I'm still grateful for delivery. It's fabulous. Save me time. Give someone a job. No additional gas expended. Wonderful. After … Continue reading 2021-07-27 — Dog Days of Summer

Hi, folks. 🙂 Happy Monday! I had an interesting first today... one which I hope will also be my last. 😶 But we'll get to that. Started off a bit slower today. I spent probably 45 minutes trying to get our lawnmower back to at least decently-working order. It keeps blowing through starter switches, so … Continue reading 2021-07-26 — A First

I feel like I want to sleep for another day, but tomorrow is a busy Monday morning, so... Guess I'll shelve the sleep. But it is late and time for bed. Didn't really do anything today. In my room just about all day. Tired. Grateful I didn't go fully over the edge. I'm not even … Continue reading 2021-07-25 — And Tomorrow is a Monday Morning. 🙃

8 more cars today. 37 cars this week. I'm sure it's a personal record. Been crazy. 😶 The cars were mostly quickies today, but the days are blending together, and I can't even remember clearly what I did... Let's see... First one was a battery in a 2013 Infiniti JX35. Second was... oh, a weird … Continue reading 2021-07-24 — Double 8s

I don't know exactly what my record is for the number of billable hours I have done in a day by myself, but I believe it was somewhere around 8 or 9. I beat that today. I shattered it. 11.25 Yee freakin' haw! And I might even have broken the record for the most I've … Continue reading 2021-07-23 — I Shattered It

Yesterday kicked my butt a bit. Today, gratefully, only had a few frustrating challenges. First car was just a battery job, and I taught his kids about the car while I diagnosed and fixed it. They were super interested, and the dad enjoyed it as well. That was fun. I miss teaching. Love explaining things … Continue reading 2021-07-22 — Not Too Bad

Today kicked my butt. Up one side and down the other...most of it (the day), anyway. I went to my first job (spark plugs in a 2011 Ford Expedition), but it had just been driven, so it was too hot to remove the plugs without risking damaging the heads (which would be a multi-thousand-dollar catastrophe). … Continue reading 2021-07-21 — Butt Kicked

Another busy day. Grateful to my mom for running and errand for me that I just kept not getting to day after day. That was nice--very nice. I kept forgetting every day until I'd get home and see the stuff not returned (Amazon purchases... company sent the wrong stuff). 5 cars today. Rough runner ('04 … Continue reading 2021-07-20 — Take… Meh
