Coming up on 120 a.m., and I'm in Springdale Arkansas at the CNG station filling up my van at the end of a long day. I got started late, and I'm ending quite late. Seven cars today. Well, eight cars, but only seven that I charged for. I slept in again a bit, getting up … Continue reading 2021-08-07 — A Little Bit of Everything

Well... another day in the books. Made good progress on tax stuff, really good progress. So that's something. The Sonata from last night that I ran into issues with ended up giving me more fits today without even getting to the car. Both alternators tested good, so there's something wrong with the car's electrical... computer... … Continue reading 2021-08-06 — Plodding Along

Everyday is a good day: It's just good in different ways. Today has been sort of a discouraging type of good day. I don't even remember when I got up. I don't think it was that late, maybe 8 something. I've been working on my tax stuff more consistently, so I didn't leave for work … Continue reading 2021-08-05 — Not Home By 6:30

Dare I say I chose a slow day today? I could have gone to several more cars than I did, but today I just... took it slow and didn't push. I only did three cars--a no start diagnosis of a 2000 Infiniti QX4 (bad fuel pump), finished the wiring repair job on the '03 Audi … Continue reading 2021-08-04 — Home By 6:30

Somehow I keep sleeping in. I slept in until something like 10:30 today, I think. Had a pretty crazy dream. Or maybe that was yesterday... Whenever it was, it was weird, and I've been reminded of it many times, as if it were important or something. I'd wanted to get married for so long, and … Continue reading 2021-08-03 — Closer to A Line

Got a late start today, but it was a decent day. Only did 4 cars, which seems rather pedestrian given the craziness of late, but that was nice, actually. I was grateful to knock out two jobs that have been lingering for quite a while. Finally got that jeep done, and I was grateful that … Continue reading 2021-08-02 — A Wee Bit Better

I slept pretty much all day. Got up this morning. Was up for a couple hours. Slept another...6? Spent the evening trying to figure out and then fix the reason the AC condensate drain was clogged in our upstairs AC unit. Cross your fingers that it's fixed. Rough day. I'm losing it. Badly. ~ stephen

Almost 3:30 a.m. Long day. Almost broke more daily records, almost certainly broke my monthly record. That's nice. But it's not filling my soul, just the bank. You know, I'm amazed. It appears that all the symptoms I've had, all the craziness that I thought was blood sugar issues or some hormone imbalance or something … Continue reading 2021-07-31 — Goodbye July

Almost 2:30 a.m. Can I get away with saying it's early? 🙃 It's been a long day. Very long. Started a bit rough... Driving away from the house on DeGraff, the garbage truck was coming the other way, and... it's a very narrow dirt road. I drove about a foot into the weeds on my … Continue reading 2021-07-30 — A Bit Rough

I was hopeful today wasn't gonna be as wet (sweaty) as yesterday. The air was drier to start the day, and though it was hot, since the humidity wasn't too bad, I was fine, honestly. But... somewhere around... maybe 3 o'clock? it started to get bad. And I started leaving body prints on the pavement … Continue reading 2021-07-28 — Dog Days X2
