Jim and I kicked trash today. 💪😎 We got so much accomplished. 🥳 We went down to Hidden Springs Park (the spring house pond) and tried again to measure the flow of the water out of the pond in order to know what size ramp pump to build. At first, I tried to put down … Continue reading 2024-02-24 (Saturday) — Kicked Trash

2024-02-23 (Friday) — Floppy Gasket
(writing on the 27th) Good long day of work today. 5 cars. Just shy of 10 billable hours that went... mostly well. 😅 The first car of the day was going to a 2011 Ford Fusion that the gentleman had struggled to replace the valve cover gaskets on. When I got there, I found that … Continue reading 2024-02-23 (Friday) — Floppy Gasket
2024-02-22 (Thursday) — Another Hill Day
(writing this on the 27th) I spent a pretty good chunk of the day today cleaning up down by the deck area. Burning branches, moving the bricks and what not, and just trying to get it all cleaned up and looking nice. Long day on the property, but making progress. I also, I think, started … Continue reading 2024-02-22 (Thursday) — Another Hill Day
2024-02-21 (Wednesday) — Senseless, Selfish Destruction 😡
(written on the 27th) I started and ended the day today livid. 😕 I've worked my butt off down at the deck area to make the place look like a beautiful park, and when I went there this morning for my morning servicise, I noticed that someone had hacked chunks out of two of the … Continue reading 2024-02-21 (Wednesday) — Senseless, Selfish Destruction 😡
2024-02-26 (Monday) — Busy Bee
T'was another Monday where I didn't pay proper attention to what I had scheduled, forgetting that I had a pretty significant job that by itself I thought might take four to six hours. 😅 The first car was a 2011 Toyota Camry that the gentleman was just doing routine spark plugs on. I had had … Continue reading 2024-02-26 (Monday) — Busy Bee
2024-02-20 — Hill Work Day
(written on February 25th) After feeling quite encouraged by All the plotting and scheming That Jim and I have been doing for the property, and having that sentiment reinforced by what seemed like a real possibility of having greater family buy-in on the future and mission of Haven Hill, I found myself re-energized to work … Continue reading 2024-02-20 — Hill Work Day
2024-02-19 — Disjointed 🙃
(recapping on the 25th) Today was disjointed. 🙃 I hadn't properly planned my schedule and route for cars, so I was completely out of sorts as the day started. And it was a super busy day, as well. 😅 My days are a lot smoother when I am on top of things. Shocker, right? 🙃 … Continue reading 2024-02-19 — Disjointed 🙃
2024-02-18 — Haven Hill Vision
Two thirds rough day, last third better day. I didn't go to church again. I didn't do anything useful at all for the first 2/3 of the day. I didn't go work on greenhouse stuff. I didn't go work on Haven Hill projects. I didn't work on non-profit stuff. I just sat there and vegged … Continue reading 2024-02-18 — Haven Hill Vision

Happy birthday to my friend Brittani in Utah. 29, I think. 🎊🥳🎉 Hope it was a beautiful day. ... As for me today... My friend Chase flew in from Alaska and the wee hours of the morning, and I met him at the AutoZone in Rogers to help him with his truck. He switched jobs … Continue reading 2024-02-17 — Life’s Adventures
2024-02-16 — On Time
Man, when I woke up this morning, my body felt like it had been working non-stop for like 24 hours. I was completely exhausted, even though I had gotten plenty of sleep. I think I slept at least 8 hours, but holy cow. It was a work day today, but boy was I dragging, and … Continue reading 2024-02-16 — On Time
