No records today. Not even close. Sort of a crummy day, honestly with every job pretty much going sideways. Oh well. 🙃 Three cars today. 1992 Ford F150 coolant leak at thermostat housing. If she weren't a long-time customer, I'd stop doing this truck. Old cars = lots more time to fix (generally). They're just … Continue reading 2021-10-05 — No Records Today

2021-10-04 — Surprise!!!
Had a bit of a surprise today. As I drove away early this morning (trying to get out before the road was impassable with the road work going on), I was thinking that I'd set myself a goal to break another record today or at least have a super good day. I was energized by … Continue reading 2021-10-04 — Surprise!!!
2021-10-03 — Back to Work in the Morning
Holar, and happy end of Sunday. 😊 Let's see... today is a bit of a blur. I didn't sleep much. Went to bed around 4 ish and got up at 8 something, I think? I don't remember, honestly. Anyway, decided to listen to the LDS General Conference first session today while vacuuming out my new … Continue reading 2021-10-03 — Back to Work in the Morning
2021-10-02 — 😶
You wanna give me how big of a tip?!?! ... As I drove away from the house today (or sometime early this morning, anyway), I thought to myself. Bust your butt. See if you can make [insert larger sum of money than I've ever made before] today. I wanted to break my record. But the first number … Continue reading 2021-10-02 — 😶
2021-10-01 — It’s Another Day
Long day and almost nothing to show for it. Construction equipment started arriving about 7:30, so i left about 8 or so and just headed out to work. First car went fine (just a lookover on a 2010 Accent they'd just bought). Second car went fine. Diagnosis for an overheat and no start on a … Continue reading 2021-10-01 — It’s Another Day
2021-09-30 — Feels Like… Saturday
Somehow, it feels like tomorrow should be Saturday... like there's just one more day before my rest day. But, alas, it's gonna be a crazy Friday. Se la vie. Rough start to the day. Slept in. Got in a very short but really awful fight with my mom. Really awful. Fortunately, we're good now. Grateful … Continue reading 2021-09-30 — Feels Like… Saturday
2021-09-27 — Trying to Dig Out
I want to be the kind of person who just goes out and spends his time lifting the world even when his own world has crashed around him. So... that's what I'm going to choose. I'm likely gonna have a bunch more days like I did yesterday. I've had countless similar ones, so it's likely … Continue reading 2021-09-27 — Trying to Dig Out
2021-09-29 — Goodbye September…
Started really slowly today. Don't think I even got to my first job until like... noon. Didn't look like a very good day, but it turned out... okay. Acceptable. Not great at all, but... acceptable. I think I did four cars, home around 7ish. That's three days in a row of being home relatively early. … Continue reading 2021-09-29 — Goodbye September…
2021-09-28 — Just Tired
Would it surprise you to read that I think I'm a little burned out? 🙃 I slept in a bit today, and I just dragged today. Part of that is some emotional stuff that's re-popped up that I've got rolling around my noggin, but the day seemed to go quite sideways, and I'm just so … Continue reading 2021-09-28 — Just Tired
2021-09-26 — Return of the Sunday Blues
Really struggling today. That's an understatement. I look to the heavens, and I just... don't understand. Why this? Why? I sacrificed everything. I followed. I trusted. Why this? I wish I could just completely stop believing that there's a god. That would be so much easier. So much easier. Then I could be free, free … Continue reading 2021-09-26 — Return of the Sunday Blues
