Didn't go to bed until after midnight, but I woke up before 6 wide awake. 🙃 So... I jumped right into the day. Bring it on. 😎 Relentlessly positive. That's where my attitude is headed. Invictus maneo. Ready? Set? Go!!! Morning Gratitude!!! (of course! How else would you begin the journey toward being relentlessly positive. … Continue reading 2023-03-02 — Different Apples

It was another early morning to evening job, though. I finished about 6:45 today instead of 10:00. Another five-car day. 🙂 First car was a long time multiple return customer with a 1992 Ford F-150. I probably shouldn't have taken the job, as those old cars are such a nightmare to work on. Everything is … Continue reading 2023-03-01 — March!

So it was supposed to be a super busy day today, but it didn't end up being that. I did four cars but only charged for two of them. The first car was a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS, the suped up 6.2 beast. He thought he needed brake pads and rotors all the way around … Continue reading 2023-02-28 — Pro Bono

It was another busy Monday. 🙂 As with all the other days these last few weeks. Gratefully, though, I got done working a lot faster than some of the other days these last few weeks. Five cars today... First car was a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee that some other mechanic had started to take apart … Continue reading 2023-02-27 — Big O Trash

Sunday rest day! Or not. 🙃 There was a BMW 750Li for a screaming deal price down in Springdale that I was interested in, so I headed out first thing in the morning to go take a look at that, but when I got there, it didn't have a battery in it, and they wouldn't … Continue reading 2023-02-26 — No Battery, No Dice

Super busy day today! Did seven cars, working from morning until pretty late. The first car was a 2011 Chevy Cruze. She had been calling me on and off for probably a couple weeks about the car. At first, she wanted to swap the starter from one of her cruises to the other, but they … Continue reading 2023-02-25 — 7 Today

I was totally dragging today. 🙃 I guess you could say it was a bit of a burnout day. Honestly, I don't even remember how it started. I just know that I was just not in the space to work today. I spend time just hanging out in autozone in Bentonville. Just chatting with people … Continue reading 2023-02-24 — Dragging

Hola! 😊 On to the 23rd! I've been so completely swamped that I could keep several mechanics going right now if I just had them. 🙃 I've been waking up in the morning and pretty much just leaving right away to go out and fix cars, not coming home until late. The first car of … Continue reading 2023-02-23 — Bad Idea? 🙃

Well howdy there, folks! 🙂 Happy day to to you. 😊 Let's see... Wednesday. As promised, Wednesday gave us a nice, good rain. That gave me an opportunity to take the day off, as I mentioned. Not that I don't have the opportunity every single day to take the day off, which is a huge … Continue reading 2023-02-22 — Gul Durn It! 🙃

Wow! Haven't had a day like this in a while. Just got home, and it's after midnight. 🙃 Guess we'll start with the most important stuff... gratitude: I'm grateful to be home. 🙃 I'm grateful that the rash on my hands and feet and arms and legs seems to have plateaued and might even be … Continue reading 2023-02-21 — A Late One
