Good day, maties! 😊
Happy Thursday. 😊
4 o’clock jam this morning, but i was quite off today. No immediate push-ups, started my 5x5s, but then i spent the next 1 1/2 hours replying to WordPress stuff. 🙃
Whoops. 🙃
So i didn’t get my exercise in. I didn’t get my cold shower in. I didn’t meditate.
😶🙃
Did… four cars today. A college girl who wanted the throttle cleaned and codes cleared on her 2006 Land Rover, a guy who had a misfire that turned out to be a coil bad on cylinder 6 on his 2008 Kia Optima (which, gratefully, was a super easy one and not one of the back ones), a kid who thought he needed only pads and rotors on the rear if his 2016 Jetta, but it turned out that he needed a caliper as well, so I’ll do that on Saturday, as the caliper wasn’t available at the nearby store, and a belt replacement on a 2006 Chevrolet HHR, which required my grinding my tool in half, so it would fit where it needed to on the car. 🙃 (channeling my grandad… if you don’t have the tool, make the tool. 😊
My last customer didn’t reply, which i wasn’t sad about 😁, so i filled my CNG up, drove to the upper pasture, and lit the brush pile on fire.
Right at the very end of gathering all the sticks up and tossing them in the trash, I realized that i was picking up a chunk of poison ivy and that is probably picked up a bunch and chucked it in the fire.
My throat isn’t feeling quite right, and my lungs are starting to hurt. Let’s just hope it’s temporary or a little hypochondriacish, ok? Poison ivy smoke can be lethal. 😬
🤞
Going to put the fire out, drive home, take a cold shower 🙃, eat dinner, and crash.
Uploaded yesterday’s video just a bit ago, and just made today’s video. Not sure if it’ll finish uploading before i go to bed. Probably not the greatest reception here in the upper pasture.
Gonna take a break to go do that!

You know… when you take a cold shower when you’re already rather cold from being outside at night, you get really really cold, bone deep, really quickly. 🙃
