Wow, three slower work days in a row. That's a total head scratcher this time of year. 🤷 Four cars. Five and a half billable hours. First job was just north of where I live and was a 2009 Toyota Corolla that was having a misfire issue. I found that it was way too full … Continue reading 2024-04-01 (Monday) — 3rd In A Row

2024-03-31 (Sunday) — Shed Day
(written on April 19th) We're going to call today "shed day." I found a little church in Bentonville that was selling a tool shed for a really really cheap price, And I wanted to surprise my mom with it because she's been wanting a toolshed for a long time. I figured it might take me … Continue reading 2024-03-31 (Sunday) — Shed Day
2024-03-30 (Saturday) — Jim’s Grow Boxes
(written on April 19th) The only thing that I remember about today was that I spent a good little while helping Jim and get all the weeds out of his grow boxes. Other than that, I've got nothing for the day. 😅 It was a very full day, I think completely on the hill, but … Continue reading 2024-03-30 (Saturday) — Jim’s Grow Boxes
2024-03-29 — Another Slow Day
(written on April 15th) Oddly, it was another slow day. Two in a row. The first car of the day Was it 2019 Toyota Highlander in Springdale that had a flat tire. They had asked me to change the tire and put their spare on, but I was able to find the screw hole and … Continue reading 2024-03-29 — Another Slow Day
2024-03-27 — Slower Day
(written on April 12th) Just four cars today--a bit surprising given the time of year. I would expect to be slammed. 🤷 First car was a 2011 Kia Rio that the owner wanted me to install an alternator that they had already purchased. I think it was someone who takes care of an older person … Continue reading 2024-03-27 — Slower Day
2024-03-26 — Z3 Repairs
(written on the 27th) There isn't really much of anything to write for Friday through Monday. I've been sick. More emotionally and mentally and spiritually than bodily, but also bodily. I spent most of my time, nearly all of it, in my room for all of those days. I wasn't useful. I wasn't productive. I … Continue reading 2024-03-26 — Z3 Repairs
2024-03-21 — Truck Down!
(written on the 27th) I spent a good chunk of the day today working outside. I cleaned out more Vines and dead stuff in the same area as I did on Tuesday. More burning. Risa also came down and helped me weed where the wood chips are going to go. Since I didn't get it … Continue reading 2024-03-21 — Truck Down!
2024-03-20 — If You Gamble…
(written on the 27th) First car of the day was going to a super old 1955 classic oval window ragtop Volkswagen beetle. I don't normally go to anything even close to that old, 1996 being my standard cutoff. But he didn't have anybody to help him, and all he needed was for me to put … Continue reading 2024-03-20 — If You Gamble…
2024-03-19 — Empty
(written on the 27th... I blinked and it's been almost 10 days. Mental health hasn't... yeah...) I don't remember much of anything about today. I was going to write about the things that actually matter instead of just summarizing my days like I've been doing for so long, but clearly, I didn't get that far. … Continue reading 2024-03-19 — Empty
2024-03-18 — Miracle at the End
Well, from yesterday to today, it was quite the shift. For some reason, I woke up this morning and was just... Not in a good place. I don't remember having a bad dream or anything that carried over to my waking hours, So I can't point to anything really. I was just... absolutely dreading the … Continue reading 2024-03-18 — Miracle at the End
