Hola mon baratΓ³k, π I finally contributed to the company today by getting paid to fix more than just one car! I mean, I've been working a ton, but it's been freebies, fixing other people's mistakes, not getting things figured out, and then there's been a whole lot of the managerial/secretarial/administrative stuff. So it's nice … Continue reading 2020-05-06 — Finally Helped the Cause

2020-05-05 — To Date or Not to Date
Just crossed my mind as I put the date in the title that it's Cinco de Mayo. Nice. π I don't even remember what holiday it is. I think I used to think it was Mexico's independence day, but I later learned it wasn't? Or something like that. And in the time it's taken me … Continue reading 2020-05-05 — To Date or Not to Date
2020-05-04 — Testing My Mettle
Well... happy... what day is it? Monday! Sorry... been a day. π Let's see... I jumped on the lawnmower relatively early this morning because the grass was getting tall, and I wanted to try to get the lawn mowed before the storm rolled in. Unfortunately, both the mower and the storm had other plans. π¬ … Continue reading 2020-05-04 — Testing My Mettle
2020-05-03 — Big Changes
Happy Sunday, y'all π. I think we swapped weather with Washington State today. We had the misting type rain that is so common up there, and at least where one of my sisters lives in Washington, she had an absolute downpour. I love both. π Anyway, it's been quite the day today! I was excited … Continue reading 2020-05-03 — Big Changes
The Haven Hill Years (’16-present)
(last updated (5/6/2020) I never planned on moving to Arkansas. It just sort of... happened. My intent was to spend about a year visiting my family members and friends all over the country and to stump around where my ancestors used to live in the hopes of unlocking some of the genealogical puzzles that we've … Continue reading The Haven Hill Years (’16-present)
2020-05-02 — Bad Gas
Well howdy peeps π, It's been quite the day for me. I've been working since early this morning, am just barely finishing up, and it's after 10. If it weren't for my tech, it would have been a super crappy crappy crappy crappy crappy money day. The first job went decently well. I was late … Continue reading 2020-05-02 — Bad Gas
2020-05-01 — Happy May Day :)
Hola mon peeps, Happy Friday! π Yawns are plentiful at the moment, and so has been peanut butter and jelly over the last few days. And it was another beautiful spring day. A little warmer, but still very nice. Happy May. π So... I took another day "off," meaning that I answered phones, got my … Continue reading 2020-05-01 — Happy May Day π
2020-04-30 — Home All Day in My Recliner
Hey, y'all. Today has been one of those days where, from the start, I've just been off, I think. I accidentally published nearly four pages worth of autobiographical sketch that was supposed to have been deleted. Not that it was bad to be out there, but it seemed a little too detailed for the privacy … Continue reading 2020-04-30 — Home All Day in My Recliner
The Salt Lake City Years (’13-’16)
I arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah not really knowing why--just felt like I should be up there. I think I remember feeling something like "move to Salt Lake, and buy a house," something like that, so I headed north. I didn't have a place to stay ahead of time, and since I was used … Continue reading The Salt Lake City Years (’13-’16)
2020-04-29 — Ready For A Breather
I think I only have like 5 or 6 cars scheduled for tomorrow. To be honest, I haven't figured out the schedule yet, so I'm not really sure, but I'm ready for a breather. I'm a little afraid to even look. On a stats geek note, we have now officially broken the record for number … Continue reading 2020-04-29 — Ready For A Breather
