Making some progress internally today. Still struggling a lot, but there was a marked change today. I somehow got some strength to press forward in some things and be more determined and even a tad bit more positive. That's been nice. Still struggling with being quick to anger when things go sideways. I've got a … Continue reading 2021-08-27 — Diesel Day

Things have been slowing down a bit. Not as many calls, and I've been turning down probably more than half of what's coming in anyway. I need the slowdown. Only did 4 cars today and got home around... 6? Didn't really accomplish anything after getting home. I'd hoped to, but I didn't do much. Just... … Continue reading 2021-08-26 — Slowing Down

Got the lawn mower quasi working this morning, so mom could mow the rest of the lawn. It had gotten crazy long from having been down for so long. Thanks, mom. Five cars today. Tried to take it easy, but one of the cars kicked my butt up one side and down the other, so … Continue reading 2021-08-25 — Love Them Batteries

Well, it's 1:50 a.m. I would have been home probably an hour and a half ago had I not had to deal with more poorly-manufactured parts. I spend probably an hour and a half or two hours trying to modify the new radiator and the old fan on this last job to get them to … Continue reading 2021-08-24 — ‘Nother Dragger Down, ‘Nother IdeaPad

Been rough. Back to being extremely quick to anger. Wasting my life on TV. Discouraged. Broken. One car today. A million people who want help. At least I did that one. Another old one down. They've been waiting since my 4:30 a.m. return day with Cory over a week ago. Done now, though. Ugh. Life. … Continue reading 2021-08-23 — Another Down

All day in my room. If there's a bright side, it's a little cleaner. Hopefully, that's something. Body feeling mostly better. Next days are going to be miserable weather wise. Not... looking forward to it. Very hot. Oh well. Good night. Lift the World. ~ stephen

Exhausted. Haven't even gone out today. Not feeling well. Throat has been a little sore for a week ish now. Not bad, but I am straight up exhausted. Exhausted. Eyes closing. Only 7 p.m. Good night. Lift the World. ~ stephen

Was just plain worn out today. Just couldn't get going. Was out most of the day, but I only did one job. I'm still worn out. Quasi fixed the lawn mower. Mowed the longest of the grass in the yard. Hot and muggy. Tired. Busy day tomorrow. Hoping to get the last of the cars … Continue reading 2021-08-20 — Beat

Man, I've been tired lately. 😴 You'd think I work a lot or something. Yup, I'm ready to fall over after another long day. Working on tax stuff right now after getting home around 9:30 ish? Time is flying so quickly. August is 2/3rds over, and I already find myself thinking about working on cars … Continue reading 2021-08-19 — Um… That Shouldn’t Be Like That

Eyes are closing again. Smoother day today, gratefully. 7ish cars. First one... weird no start, no communication with the computer. Was lucky on that one. Did a bunch of testing, thought I wasn't going to figure anything out, but all of the sudden, boom, I jumped a relay (one that I already knew was working), … Continue reading 2021-08-18 — Learning, Bit by Bit
