Well, my trip back to work was a grand total of one car. Battery change at a hotel in Springdale for a 2018 GMC Acadia. Relatively straightforward, and she tipped me. That was nice. Then I went to the urgent care to get my body checked out. Think it was a waste. They ordered x-rays, … Continue reading 2022-05-20 — One Car

I really took the day off today. I pretty much didn't leave my room. Maybe that'll help the healing? Guess we'll find out: Gonna go fix cars tomorrow. 🤞 Why am I so afraid to go do my best to change the world--to actually do it? Is it a fear of failure? Is it a … Continue reading 2022-05-19 — Back to Work

So, I gave a little attempt at auto mechanic work today, but it was for one of my own vehicles (the Dodge truck). It went... okay. A decent bit of pain, both in my wrist and in my chest. 😕 Nice having another day off work, though. Wondering if I need to go to the … Continue reading 2022-05-18 — Not Quite

Took another day off. Not sure really what to do. Coughing or sneezing hurts really badly. Exerting myself hurts a good bit as well. Went to look at a piece of property a couple miles away but found out it was going under contract today, so... oh well. 44 acres with Sugar Creek running through … Continue reading 2022-05-17 — Another Day Off

Hiya, folks. 🙂 Chose not to work again today. Body isn't happy still. As of this evening, I feel a little better. Not as much pain laughing (I'm actually watching some Dave Chappelle comedy at the moment while writing this), so there are a few laughs to test out how the old bod' is doin'. … Continue reading 2022-05-16 — Maybe a Little Better?

I'm way off kilter... sleepwise. It's only 5:48, and I'm nodding off. Was up until 6... then I slept until I couldn't sleep, but that was only like... 11? Yeah, way off kilter. Awesome thunderstorm today. Got my room cleaned up a bit. Gonna clean up a bit more. Chest still messed up. Guess I'm … Continue reading 2022-05-15 — Weird Injuries

Didn't work today. Injured some muscle or something in my chest. Hurt to breathe. Exerting myself makes it worse, so... I took the day off. Gonna take the day off tomorrow as well. Took a nap. Hard to sleep because it would hurt to move, and I move in my "sleep" a lot. Not much … Continue reading 2022-05-14 — Just Breathe

Hiyah, folks! Woke up this morning to... nothing. No calls. No messages. 🤔 No reception on the phone. Over the course of the morning, I had one call come in that dropped before I could talk to them. I ended up leaving the property to get reception, where I called T-Mobile, and they switched us … Continue reading 2022-05-13 — Reception Vacation

Another run and gun day. Seven cars, 10 billable hours. Rocked it pretty good. First car was a 2007 Hyundai Accent that had died while driving. But just as I was getting started, and had already been on the ground looking at stuff, I realized I had been right next to a snake curled up … Continue reading 2022-05-12 — Run and Gun… Still.

I took it a little easier today. I got up early and headed out early because I wanted to get new tires on the front of my van before it blew, the wire sticking out and wobbling badly as it went down the road. Gratefully, it didn't blow before I got to the tire place … Continue reading 2022-05-11 — Takin’ It Easier
