Was just plain worn out today. Just couldn't get going. Was out most of the day, but I only did one job. I'm still worn out. Quasi fixed the lawn mower. Mowed the longest of the grass in the yard. Hot and muggy. Tired. Busy day tomorrow. Hoping to get the last of the cars … Continue reading 2021-08-20 — Beat

Man, I've been tired lately. 😴 You'd think I work a lot or something. Yup, I'm ready to fall over after another long day. Working on tax stuff right now after getting home around 9:30 ish? Time is flying so quickly. August is 2/3rds over, and I already find myself thinking about working on cars … Continue reading 2021-08-19 — Um… That Shouldn’t Be Like That

Eyes are closing again. Smoother day today, gratefully. 7ish cars. First one... weird no start, no communication with the computer. Was lucky on that one. Did a bunch of testing, thought I wasn't going to figure anything out, but all of the sudden, boom, I jumped a relay (one that I already knew was working), … Continue reading 2021-08-18 — Learning, Bit by Bit

Feel like I've slid 100 miles. Was back to angry and frustrated today--patience being an almost unknown quality. I'm struggling. A lot. Things why sideways again and again today, and I had nothing left in the tank and just... tantrummed. Multiple times. Again and again and again. 😕 I'm realizing I'm not who I hoped … Continue reading 2021-08-17 — Ugh

Didn't really do much in the way of work for my business today. Got up. Ate breakfast, and then helped Cory with his Suburban a little bit. He was having issues with the ignition lock cylinder, the seemingly ubiquitous problem with general motors vehicles.. so many of them seem to have key cylinder lock issues. … Continue reading 2021-08-16 — Goodbye Cory

It wasn't the number of cars fixed in a week. It wasn't the amount of money made in a day. It wasn't the number of days free from TV. No... it was ticks! My record for the largest number of ticks pulled off of me in a single day is, I believe, 53. Dwarfed. Shattered. … Continue reading 2021-08-15 — Shattered Record

After 5 a.m. I didn't plan this. 🙃 I thought I'd done well at saying no. I thought I'd gotten is pretty well taken care of to get home in time for dinner and whatnot, but nope. I forgot one of the jobs that we had to do, and then I said yes to a … Continue reading 2021-08-14 — Unplanned Madrugada

Today has been hell from start to finish. Maybe I shouldn't have chosen to work on Friday the 13th. 🙃 I'm at the gas station filling up before heading home, and Cory is at my house waiting for me. Ugh. Really really really really really rough day. I had this massive day lined up, with … Continue reading 2021-08-13 — Friday the 13th Hell

So my friend Cory told me yesterday that he was thinking about coming out for a visit. And then today he called to tell me he was on the road headed my way. 😁🥳😊 Wahoo!!! He's in Cheyenne, WY at the moment, so he'll probably get in sometime late tomorrow night, I would guess. Let's … Continue reading 2021-08-12 — Cory’s Coming!!!

Hola, peeps. 🙂 The day started hard again today. I didn't want to get up when my alarm went off. I found myself filled with discouragement and sadness. I just wanted to stay in bed, go back to sleep.... avoid the world. But... I had a full schedule, and people waiting on me, so that … Continue reading 2021-08-11 — Try For Two
