Well… my bed time is getting worse… not better. 🙃 Was after 4 last night and it’s almost 3:30 already.
Did better today physically, though. Go figure. 4 hours of sleep but much better in the over-the-edge stuff? 🤷♀️
Long day. But still better?
Weird. Just weird.
Six cars, five paying. First car was a ball joint job that went sideways because more than one of the ball joints was bad, and I didn’t have the second one. So… I’ll finish that one another day. Second was a no start that turned out to be a locked-up engine. Third job was a coolant leak diagnosis (leaking radiator). I’ll do the repair itself tomorrow or the next day. Fourth job, no start (battery bad in Acura TSX), Fifth job was a power steering pump, but it turned out to be much much more than that. They asked me to replace the pump. They didn’t want a diagnosis. Well… replaced the pump, started it up, and… yikes, bad fan clutch. And even worse? Harmonic balancer came completely off. 😶 So… I’m probably gonna hand that one off to the other mobile company down there. Sixth car… asked me to replace a starter. He rounded one of the bolts off. Gratefully, I was able to get it out still, but he had the wrong part, and he didn’t want to pay for my extra time to go to the parts store and get the right part, which I’m not that sad about, even though it’s only gonna save him maybe $100 if he can finish the job himself (and he had to find a ride home 40 miles away). But I’m grateful for the choice, which meant I could go home earlier.
Anyway, another day. Tomorrow will be another busy day.
Realized the trailer idea isn’t gonna work. At all. Darn.
Good night, all.
