Heya, folks, my eyes are tired. It's just after 1:30 a.m. I've been burning the midnight oil again on the finance stuff, a smaller project that seems to be following the inflationary trend and about doubled in size. Maybe not that much, but definitely became a lot bigger than I expected it would be. But... … Continue reading 2022-03-10 — Nearing the Ides.

Today went so much more smoothly than yesterday. First car went a little sideways. The gentleman said he needed me to plug in my scanner to do a relearn on the crank sensor he'd just replaced, but the car wasn't starting, and to do a relearn on that car, you have to run it at … Continue reading 2022-03-09 — Ugh…

Hola, folks! It's been a wild day today. I've been lonely, missing someone who's very dear to me. Mostly that affected me this morning. Then cars started, and they started going mighty sideways. The first car was one where he had broken both his outer door handles, with the windows rolled up. So even though … Continue reading 2022-03-08 — Phew!

Hola, peeps! Happy Monday. 🙂 I've been dragging for a couple of days now, just tired, not having much luck getting motivated. I'm lonely. That's been weighing a little bit, I think. I'm sure that's played a pretty good part in the dragging feeling. It was also really cold today, made that much colder by … Continue reading 2022-03-07 — Cold Wind Blowing

I'm tired. I probably could have gone to bed hours ago and fallen asleep just fine. As it stands, it'll be about midnight before I tuck myself in bed for the night. Why am I tired? I think it's just this long, long, long push to get free of all the chains I bound myself … Continue reading 2022-03-06 — Pushing

Hiya, folks! 🙂 Happy Saturday! Let's see... I took it a bit easier today. Well... maybe i didn't take it easier: Maybe the day took it easier on me? I did four cars. The first was a warranty starter replacement for a job I did in January of 2021. Second job was... what was it... … Continue reading 2022-03-05 — Chipping Away

Hola, folks! I'm winding down a little earlier than I have been lately--it's not even 10:00, though it is very close to 10. Only did two cars today--each taking a lot longer than I expected. The first one was an alternator in a 2007 (I think) Toyota Avalon. Book time had it listed at only … Continue reading 2022-03-04 — Cut the What?

You know, sometimes my honesty bone is annoying. And sometimes my "make sure everything is 100% for the customer" bone is annoying, too. 🙃 That's sort of the story for the day today. I got up this morning, and I spent some time working to stay current with my 2022 financials (yes, I'm learning from … Continue reading 2022-03-03 — Overactive Conscience

Hola, folks! Sorry for the delay in yesterday's post. WordPress has been giving me fits the last couple of days, and I didn't realize it hadn't made my post from yesterday visible until earlier tonight when one of you asked if I was okay, not having seen my post. So... I got that straightened out … Continue reading 2022-03-02 — Lather, Rinse…

I keep forgetting to mention (at least I think I keep forgetting) that I've been on and over the edge for much of the last two days. Why, I don't know, but I just have been. This morning, I think it might have taken a toll on the emotion center of my little body, as … Continue reading 2022-03-01 — Some Days You Just Know
