(written on October 7th, from notes taken previously) Back at it with the basement walls this morning. I spent my time vacuuming in preparation for sealing the walls. The walls, being made of a mix of Styrofoam and cement, have seen multiple years of degradation from being out in the sun, which has left many … Continue reading 2025-09-29 (Monday) — Vacuum Day

(written on October 7th from notes taken previously) I was up relatively early, but I mostly just wasted my early-morning hours. Saw the news that President Nelson had passed away. Certainly not a surprise with him having recently turned 101 years old, but also a little sad. In the short time that I have been … Continue reading 2025-09-28 (Sunday) — Sad Day

(written on October 7th from notes taken previously) Not much to report today. I spent a fair amount of time working on the part of the basement walls where a couple of blocks blew out during the first wall pour. I did some grinding and shaving and trimming. It looks pretty good right now, I … Continue reading 2025-09-27 (Saturday) — Basement Blowout Fix, Part 1

(written on October 7th from notes taken previously) My leaving when I did and pushing through to arrive when I did turned out to be perfect, as I was able to give Hans a ride to the airport this morning instead of Heather having to wake up hours early when she already gets only half … Continue reading 2025-09-26 (Friday) — Should I Buy in SD?

(written on October 7th from notes taken previously) I got back on the road sometime around 9:30, probably getting about 4 1/2 hours of sleep, or so. Back on the road, it wasn't long before I got pulled over in some sleepy little Kansas town. Apparently, I was going five over. I generally try and … Continue reading 2025-09-25 (Thursday) — Back in Black… Hills, That Is

(written on the 29th from notes taken previously) Spent a little while chatting with Jim this morning as he was getting ready to head out for work. More rain. 😶 It's just nutty how much rain there's been, waking up to sweet my catch bins.. Waking up to empty them before they overflow. I don't … Continue reading 2025-09-24 (Wednesday) — Westward Again

(written on October 2nd and 7th from notes taken previously) When it rains, it pours. 😕 Last night was hell. I got back to Haven Hill, and there was something that I was doing in the lower field. I don't remember. I think maybe it was dropping something off down there, but as I was … Continue reading 2025-09-23 (Tuesday) — Massive Muddy Mayhem

(written on the 30th) Don't really remember much about today. Not doing well at all. Coming to Arkansas... I mean I can't really blame it on coming to Arkansas, but it's like I just reverted back to who I was when I was here before. 😞 Found that not only did one of the five … Continue reading 2025-09-22 (Monday) — Really Struggling

I took a bath, but I've mentally, spiritually, and emotionally begun crashing. I'm reverting back to what I was like when I lived here before. 😕 And after yet another relapse, I just struggled to do anything today. I ended up just wasting my entire day. I didn't go to church. I spent my entire … Continue reading 2025-09-21 (Sunday) — Crashed and Burned

(written on the 30th) Headed from my mom's house where I stayed the night last night over to Miguel's shop to meet the young man who was going to buy the wrecked Subaru. I got there early, so I took the time to take pictures of the two motorcycles and the truck that I'm going … Continue reading 2025-09-20 (Saturday) — Profiled 😒
