Well, it's been quite the day today. First time I've had a good auto repair day in a good little while, at least that's what it feels like. I struggled getting to bed last night. I had taken an hour long nap during the day yesterday because I was exhausted, but it totally messed me … Continue reading 2023-12-11 — I Would If I Could

Let's just say that my career as a car mechanic is on life support. 🙃 I'm ready to hang it up today. They're just so many other things that I want to do, and time just marches on so quickly. I turn 42 in 2 weeks. And I'll be on a plane still with a … Continue reading 2023-12-10 — On Life Support

I can't remember... What did I do yesterday? It was Saturday... I remember spending a good amount of time down at the deck. But gosh, what did I do? Morning Gospel study, I think I slept in a little bit? But I woke up in time for family study, oh no! I think I got … Continue reading 2023-12-09 — Almost Done–With One Side

Gosh, it was quite the day yesterday! First thing in the morning, I went over to the AutoZone in Pea Ridge to take back a mountain of parts that I ended up not needing.

How the crap does general motors stay in business? Good freaking crap. Their trucks have had me at my wits end today. Take the next left on. The first one was going back to that 2019 Silverado that had the completely busted oil cooler hose. Based on the information that I got from general motors, … Continue reading 2023-12-06 — American Junk

I can't even remember what happened yesterday. Not even a little bit. Let's see... Pretty sure I slept in again. I tried to go get wood chips for down by the deck, but their bulldozer had broken down, and they'd sent their big loader out to go rescue it, so they didn't have anything to … Continue reading 2023-12-05 — Brighter Days

It was a tough day in some respects--more car issues that leave me concerned I caused damage. 😕 I don't know where my brain is. It's really discouraging right now. I've been making so many mistakes lately. I probably take more responsibility than is mine to reasonably take, but it's not black and white... at … Continue reading 2023-12-04 — Just One Thing

"I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being." ~ Hafez Periodically, I go back to one of my friend's Facebook pages and read that quote. It's written as the permanent intro to the profile... ... So much on my mind today. So many … Continue reading 2023-12-03 — I Wish I Could Show You

Rough day on the car front. 😅 First car was simple enough, a newer Tahoe or Suburban or whatever it was with an issue with the cooling system. The gentleman tried to fix it himself and accidentally broke the connector for the engine engine coolant temperature sensor. 😬 I tried to teach him what to … Continue reading 2023-12-02 — Head Ache
