2022-01-13 — Out and About

Man, I almost forgot to write tonight! I think tonight was the closest I’ve ever come to forgetting in almost two years. I haven’t missed writing at least something every night since March of 2020, but tonight, I just barely closed my laptop when… bam! I realized I hadn’t written yet.

Might have something to do with the fact that I didn’t go to bed last night. In an effort to get myself back on track, being nearly exactly 12 hours off, I decided to stay up all night, so that when I went to bed tonight, I’d be able to get up at a decent hour tomorrow.

Well… the plan seems to be working so far. Since I didn’t go to bed, I didn’t sleep until the late afternoon. Shaking things up that way, I went out and actually worked on cars today. I only did three, but it’s still three, and that’s good. First was a crank, no start (turned out to be a blown head gasket I think). The compression was too low on all four cylinders, and just cranking the motor was pushing coolant out of the radiator.

Not so good.

Second car was a no crank, no start (low battery for some odd reason. was a brand new battery. Maybe a bad one out of the box?

Third car was an overheat. The upper radiator hose had completely snapped in half. Fixed that, and then I headed home about 4ish.

Wahoo. 😊

Now it’s 6:24 p.m., and I’m off to bed. So tired.

So… went out and worked today (wahoo!), and I sold both my busted pressure washers (wahoo!), which opens up a decent amount of space in the garage, and that’s nice to have.

I’m pretty sure I had more I wanted to write about, but brain is dying.

G’night!
