Well, it was supposed to rain today. It was supposed to rain all day, thunderstorms, nasty weather, etc. Given that was the expectation, and given that my mom was coming home today, and I wanted to have the house not be a complete disaster, I decided to stay home and just clean--all day. 🙃 Had … Continue reading 2023-03-31 — Mama’s Home!!!

Can I even remember what happened? Hmmm... Let's consult the car calendar. That will jog my memory. 😊 ... Oh yeah, that's right. The day started off with a 2012 Dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi that needed to have all 16 spark plugs changed. I was glad to finally get this one going, as they … Continue reading 2023-03-30 — Diag First!

Little boy tired. I've been writing that a lot lately. 🙃 Didn't sleep very well. Up at 5:00 something after going to bed after midnight I think. Figured since I was up, I might as well be productive, so I tried to fix the garage door. I put the new gear assembly on, and then … Continue reading 2023-03-29 — Blur

Well, I'm done earlier than 11:00. 🙃 Finished the last job about 9 :00 but waited for payment for about 15 or 20 minutes, so I didn't get out until about 9:30. By the time I finish up today, it will likely be a 15 hour day. Not quite as long as yesterday, but still … Continue reading 2023-03-28 — Ratchet!!!

I was listening to my Latino music playlist, and since I don't pay for the music membership, they don't play just what's on my playlist: they add other stuff they think I'll like. And... They added one that I've now been listening to probably 50 times a day while I'm working. I think I first … Continue reading 2023-03-27 — Mil Rosas

It was really nice to be able to take most of the day off. I didn't work on anything stressful pretty much the whole day, so it was really nice to have that kind of a break. I spent a good chunk of the day de-vining the woods by the garden. The woods in that … Continue reading 2023-03-26 — Needed Rest

Oh... tired. Very tired. I've been low energy pretty much all day today. Gratefully, I haven't really had any cars that were ridiculously stupid today. 🙂 Since I went to bed a little earlier than normal, I woke up a bit earlier than normal. I took the time to load up my van with trash … Continue reading 2023-03-25 — Sunday Comes Now 🥳

One of the things that I have struggled with over the years is processing through very important things while dealing with regular life stuff at the same time. I Would love, for example, to be able to spend the time driving between jobs pondering on the important things in my life. Working through things, making … Continue reading 2023-03-25 — Verbal Vomit S1E1

Today... I just couldn't get myself going. 🙃 It was raining pretty good--flood warnings and all that. I did two cars first thing, both super easy, gratefully. Replacing a mass airflow sensor and a no start that turned out to just be bad battery connections. I hung out with the people at AutoZone in Bentonville … Continue reading 2023-03-24 — Half Day

Forecast was for rain today, today and tomorrow-- and lots of it. Flood watches and whatnot. The first job was a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze that was overheating at stop lights and stop signs and drive-throughs and whatnot. That's normally a telltale sign that the car's fan has gone out, but in this case, he was … Continue reading 2023-03-23 — Home “Early”
