Time is weird. It feels like I've been back home for... a long time already. But it's barely been 1 1/2 days. 🙃 Up relatively early to meet both potential techs in Bella Vista--the young kid and the woman. They both have a long ways to go before they could be independent mechanics. I'm feeling … Continue reading 2022-07-22 — Weird

I set my alarm last night for 3:45 this morning, but then I woke up at like 3:25. I dozed a little bit, but in the end, I just got up before the 3:45 alarm went off. I spent a little while organizing the stuff in my Civic until Cory came out. I'm leaving my … Continue reading 2022-07-21 — Little Boy Tired

Good day. Tough day. I got up early to be sure that I was available for the mechanic that I was trying out on a few jobs today. She was driving down from Noel, Missouri. It didn't go well at all. 😕 First of all, she was 20 plus minutes late to the first job, … Continue reading 2022-07-20 — A Bit of Regress

Stayed the night at the Walmart in Payson, UT last night and then headed over to my aunt and uncle's house to visit my dying aunt again. I stayed there most of the day, visiting with my aunt, helping my other aunt and uncle with rearranging their garage for some stuff they were trying to … Continue reading 2022-07-19 — Rumblings of Change

Hola, folks! Much more positive day today, though I don't really take any credit for it. Today I returned to my lifelong default activity--dam the moving water. 🙃 But I'll get to that... Last night, I stayed the night again at the Provo Canyon diversion dam parking lot. No police this time, so that was … Continue reading 2022-07-18 — Damming… My Default

I went to bed relatively early last night, something like 11:00, and I didn't get up until like 11:00 again. I think it was 10:45 or so. Spent a few hours up South fork Canyon with my oldest brother. That was pretty cool. Hope we can do that again soon. Spent some time with my … Continue reading 2022-07-17 — Family Here, There, Everywhere

It's crazy that past halfway through with July already... Spent most of the day up Provo Canyon today after crashing in the Springville Walmart parking lot last night. I'm a little over the edge, but hopefully, we'll get that straightened out tomorrow morning. I did a little bit more on the exploring front, checking out … Continue reading 2022-07-16 — Plowing Through July

Tried to spend a lot less time sliding into thinking about things that are painful. So... today wasn't as painful. Again, good to be with family. Hard to watch my aunt deteriorating. Still have lots of things to work through just to know where a I'm at and where I'm going, but it was a … Continue reading 2022-07-15 — A Bit Lighter

I slept in a little later this morning, as it was cloudy, so the sudden didn't bake the car as soon as it came up. I think it was 9 something before I finally got up for the last time. One of the first things that I did was check the news, where I saw … Continue reading 2022-07-14 — Down Up

After taking the night shift watching over my aunt as the last of her mortal days slip away, I took a very long nap (another 4 hours or so), are breakfast, chatted a little with family, and then, feeling lonely and struggling quite a bit internally, despite wonderful, loving family all around, I drove away … Continue reading 2022-07-13 — Mountain Retreat
