Well, I guess I had better write something. 😅 Trying to think about important things that have happened over the last week... I last wrote on the 19th, so I guess I can start with what happened on the 20th... Ah, yes! That was quite an interesting day! There was a car that I was … Continue reading 2024-01-20 — Em I Ess Ess I Ess Ess I Pee Pee I

Well, today... Feels like a waste and potentially a big loss. But nothing ventured, nothing gained, right? I set off relatively early this morning to pick up Miguel's truck and trailer to go get a parts car for the Subaru that I bought last week. I stopped off at AutoZone along the way and returned … Continue reading 2024-01-19 — Nothing Ventured…

Back at it again today. 6 more cars. The first one was a 2009 Toyota Camry that needed a battery. I also found that it had an oil leak and really low oil, lower than I could safely start it with, and it also had a coolant leak at the radiator. So I topped off … Continue reading 2024-01-18 — 6 More 🚗 Down

Well, the weather warmed up and was clear, so I decided to go ahead and squeeze some work in. I didn't start until like noonish, but I still managed to squeeze in six cars and to get about 7 and 1/2 billable hours in, so I was pleased with that. The first car was a … Continue reading 2024-01-17 — 7 in 6

I don't think I've mentioned it, but since it's causing me some pretty significant issues right at the moment, I guess I will now... My back has been killing me for much of the last week. And with it, the radiating into my groin and hips and knees and ankles. So fun. So so fun. … Continue reading 2024-01-13 — Deep Freeze

It's taking pretty much 5 months, but I finally got all the documentation that I needed to successfully submit my reimbursement form for the EGD that I had last August. And after spending about an hour on the phone with my health insurance people, it's actually been submitted! 🥳 Holy freaking crap. I never in … Continue reading 2024-01-12 — Finally!

Knowing that I wasn't going to be working again for a good little while, and no worky means no money, I loaded up the day pretty good. I ended up doing six cars and reaching my goal of getting 10-plus billable hours in. 🥳 So that was nice. The first two cars were at the … Continue reading 2024-01-11 — Pack the Day

I am so slow to get my little butt back to work. 😅 I'm just dragging. I just feel... done. These next 10 days or so might make it even harder because it's going to be so cold that I'm not going to be working anyway. 😆 Thursday will be my last work day until … Continue reading 2024-01-10 — Clearly the Relay…

Been a rough few days. Relapsed... in nearly every area I possibly could have--porn, media, sugar...etc. Getting back on the wagon. Slowly. Starting to turn the corner. Been wet and snowy. No cars Monday. One car yesterday (a 2008 Suburban that he wanted me to replace the oil pressure sensor on, and normally for the … Continue reading 2024-01-09 — What Fills You

January 6th... Thoughts... ... Let's see... the day... So! Finally, after having been on the Haven Hill family to-do list for years, at this point, I think, we finally got the deck braced and supported. There is still one more set of boards that need to be put in, but the deck is now resting … Continue reading 2024-01-06 — Supported
