(written on October 1st from nodes taken previously) The sun did indeed cook me early. 😅 Gratefully, there were a couple of trees in the parking lot in a spot that provided shade sufficient for perhaps another hour of sleep, so I crawled out of my van, said hello to a couple of sister missionaries … Continue reading 2026-08-09 (Sunday) — Found!

(written October 1st from notes taken previously) Spent a little bit of the morning cleaning up and cleaning out my van and dealing with my trailer's dead battery until Gary came by looking for his dogs that had run off. Wanting to help find them, I set out on foot through the property, first the … Continue reading 2026-08-08 (Saturday) — Quit, Man, the Ticks!

(written on September 30th from notes taken previously) [It's been so long that I don't remember most of what happened today. I have notes, but they don't really mean much of anything to me, because each note is pretty much just one word. 🙃...😆] I spent some time veging in the morning. I chatted with … Continue reading 2026-08-07 (Friday) — To Buy or Not to Buy? 🏡

(written September 30th from notes taken previously) Spent some time chatting with my mom in the morning before giving her a ride (in Happy 😊) over to the shop that replaced the damaged power distribution box in Thomas' truck. Replacing the distribution box will hopefully resolve the issue that he's been dealing with for, gosh, … Continue reading 2026-08-06 (Thursday) — Happy Helper

(written on September 29th from notes taken previously) Long, hot work day today. 🥵 I don't remember if I mentioned it, but today was the day that I headed down to Russellville with Jim to help him with a concrete job he was hired to do at the LDS church there. It's a two-plus-hour drive … Continue reading 2026-08-05 (Wednesday) — Steaming Concrete

(written on September 23rd and 29th 😶 from notes taken previously) It was another late night, late morning combo, and before leaving for Haven Hill this morning, I spent a little time chatting with Mom. Once on Haven Hill, I spent a while on the tractor mowing in an effort to lighten Jim's load a … Continue reading 2026-08-04 (Tuesday) — Doing More Arkansas Things. 🙃

(escrito en la madrugada del 15 de agosto) I was up late this morning. Struggling. 😕 Mom made hootenanny pancakes, and that was tasty. Thanks, mama. 🙏 My mom let me know that Happy has been having AC issues (and heat issues), so I headed out on a test drive with her. At first, the … Continue reading 2026-08-03 (Monday) — Happy Cold

(written on the 14th from notes taken previously) There's not really a lot to write about today. I slept in (Mom's church was at 8:30, and that was just.... no. 😅). I ended up driving into Rogers thinking that there would probably be one starting at 10:00, but I guess it didn't start until 11:30? … Continue reading 2026-08-02 (Sunday) — Tired

(written on August 13th and 14th from notes taken previously) Well, today was much more of a typical Arkansas Haven Hill day. 🙃 The day started off with me heading over to the hill early to meet up with Jim to help him get more wood chips with my dump trailer before I sell it. … Continue reading 2026-08-01 (Saturday) — Just Doing Arkansas Things

(written on August 13th) I don't remember when I got up or what I did first thing. I did call the county assessor and get the trailer and skid steer off my property tax assessment, though. 🥳 Then probably somewhere around 9:30, Ileft my mom's place and spent the rest of the morning and the … Continue reading 2026-07-31 (Friday) — Here, There, and Everywhere
