Long day today. Not a rush day. Just a long day. Though it actually snowed a bit last night, I was grateful that it wasn't a super cold day today. There were times where it was a tad bit chilly, but nothing too crazy. In the blink of an eye, it will be the hot … Continue reading 2024-03-01 — Happy March!

Gosh, why am I not remembering yesterday? 🙃 I spent some time organizing the greenhouse parts that I've been bringing back from Oklahoma. Then Jim and I went over to Oklahoma to get more greenhouse parts, but we only had an hour there before he had to be back for his shift at the Bentonville … Continue reading 2024-02-29 — Happy Leap Day! 🦘

(written on the first) It was in the '80s yesterday. The 80s! And I walked out this morning in shorts and a t-shirts, and it was, I think, 28°. 😶 Welcome to Northwest Arkansas. 😅😆 I didn't go out working on cars right away today. I actually drove over to Hidden Springs Park to redo … Continue reading 2024-02-28 (Wednesday) — 10+ GPM!!!

(written on March 1st) Let's see... It was another day on the farm today. Oh, but I guess before that, I saw that somebody had posted a little tool shed for a decent price on Facebook Marketplace. Just something to hold up shovels and rakes and what not, not any equipment. So I drove all … Continue reading 2024-02-27 (Tuesday) — ‘Nother Day On the Farm

My morning servicise on Sunday consisted of trying to clear the fence lines of the weeds in the area by Hidden Springs Park, trying to do it quickly enough that it required some good cardio effort. It's hard to do blackberries quickly, though. 🙃 They hurt! (My arms and legs have been shredded by blackberry … Continue reading 2024-02-25 (Sunday) — No More Poison Ivy

Jim and I kicked trash today. 💪😎 We got so much accomplished. 🥳 We went down to Hidden Springs Park (the spring house pond) and tried again to measure the flow of the water out of the pond in order to know what size ramp pump to build. At first, I tried to put down … Continue reading 2024-02-24 (Saturday) — Kicked Trash

(writing on the 27th) Good long day of work today. 5 cars. Just shy of 10 billable hours that went... mostly well. 😅 The first car of the day was going to a 2011 Ford Fusion that the gentleman had struggled to replace the valve cover gaskets on. When I got there, I found that … Continue reading 2024-02-23 (Friday) — Floppy Gasket

(writing this on the 27th) I spent a pretty good chunk of the day today cleaning up down by the deck area. Burning branches, moving the bricks and what not, and just trying to get it all cleaned up and looking nice. Long day on the property, but making progress. I also, I think, started … Continue reading 2024-02-22 (Thursday) — Another Hill Day

(written on the 27th) I started and ended the day today livid. 😕 I've worked my butt off down at the deck area to make the place look like a beautiful park, and when I went there this morning for my morning servicise, I noticed that someone had hacked chunks out of two of the … Continue reading 2024-02-21 (Wednesday) — Senseless, Selfish Destruction 😡

T'was another Monday where I didn't pay proper attention to what I had scheduled, forgetting that I had a pretty significant job that by itself I thought might take four to six hours. 😅 The first car was a 2011 Toyota Camry that the gentleman was just doing routine spark plugs on. I had had … Continue reading 2024-02-26 (Monday) — Busy Bee
