Quite the day today! I got up about the normal time, and drove straight to Farmington to get going on the first car of the day. It was just shy of a 45 minute drive, and when I got there, nobody answered the door, and the keys weren't left with the car like they said … Continue reading 2023-03-14 — Happy Pi Day

My huge week last week took such a toll on me that I was just dragging all day today. It's almost like a hangover from last week. Totally exhausted. Burned out. Unmotivated. 🙃 I only did four cars today, despite the phone ringing many many many times. I gave a bunch of referrals to one … Continue reading 2023-03-13 — Hangover

I think I must have been running off of mostly adrenaline by the end of the week because today I was so exhausted that I pretty much didn't leave the recliner in my room the entire day. I had so much that I needed to get done today, but I was just completely wasted away … Continue reading 2023-03-12 — Vegetable

Back at it bright and early. First car was a 2015 Dodge ram diesel that had suspension noises. I found that it had, after a long test drive and some crawling around diagnostics in the rain, then it had a bad wheel bearing and bad tie rods. It also needed new shocks. The gentleman was … Continue reading 2023-03-11 — 100-Hour Work Week

So I sent a message to the new guy that I thought was going to work out but didn't. I let him know that it wasn't going to work out and wished him the best. Man, I wish it had worked out! I think I mentioned yesterday that I've basically come to the conclusion as … Continue reading 2023-03-10 — 20-hour work day

I've been so loaded down that I even overscheduled a rainy day. First car of the day for the 2012 Subaru Impreza that had the coolant light flashing. I went out there and found that his radiator was leaking, and that he was extremely low on coolant. Hopefully, he didn't do any damage. I set … Continue reading 2023-03-09 — Rain or Shine

I'm over doing it. Of course, that's not anything new. Part of it is running away, I think. Part of it is trying to prepare for the future. Part of it is just the I let fear take over. Eight cars today, and my helper was with me again today. It was another day, the … Continue reading 2023-03-08 — Too Much

Was a pretty rough one today in some ways. I went back out to that 1992 Ford F-150 with the power steering issues this morning, with an absolutely swamped schedule hanging over my head, needing to be done quickly, but ending up being there for something like 3 and 1/2 hours or more. In the … Continue reading 2023-03-07 — Blacklisted

It's a little weird... 20 years ago today I got home from my mission. 20 years. Y. E. A. R. S. Years. 😶😶😶 It's just nutty how time flies. And it's nutty how life takes turns that I never expect. Not in a million years would I have guessed that my life would have taken … Continue reading 2023-03-06 — 20 Years

I'm... Well, it was supposed to be a day of rest today. But y'all know me, so you already know that it generally isn't. It's just another day of work, just a different kind of work. With Malachi quitting, I quickly reposted my ad for wanting to hire mechanics, and gratefully, I had a couple … Continue reading 2023-03-05 — Day of… Rest?
