Hey all, sorry for the un-thought-through April Fool's joke. Even my poor mother, who lives in the same house here and was home got a tad taken by it. Probably should have done something a bit less... serious? 😬 I'll be better next year. 🙃 I'm awake again early after going to bed again late. … Continue reading 2023-04-03 — Stripped the Pan

March 26: Why? Why do I not put the things that are most important in my life first in my life? The default answer, which is probably correct, would be fear. But fear of what? Fear of failure? I think that's probably it. ... 7:10 am... Fear of not getting what I want. I guess … Continue reading 2023-03-26 — Verbal Vomit S1E2

I'm exhausted. Gonna write more tomorrow. I'll give a quick summary before I crash. I keep falling asleep. Not quite with it. I don't have any trouble falling asleep (gratefully), but I'm waking up and wide awake way too early. I think I went to bed after midnight last night, but I woke up at … Continue reading 2023-04-02 — Nodding Off

So, I'm sitting in the emergency room getting prepped for surgery because I was lying on the ground with my left arm extended under the car with the wheel off (without a jack stand 😬) when the Jack failed, and the car came crashing down to the concrete, the pinch weld on the body of … Continue reading 2023-04-01 — Ummm…

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
