Hiya, folks. I'm parked beside a cemetery about to bed down for the night. I've stayed here before, so it's... familiar. Been a long day. After leaving yesterday and 8:30 ish. I drove all night for about 10 hours or so, finally stopping when the sun came up. I noticed that the cut on the … Continue reading 2022-07-05 — Utah

Just passed Kearney, NE. Been driving all night. It's about 5:35 a.m. My mom is trying to sleep in the seat next to me. Sort of an impromptu trip. My aunt has had some major health issues and is in the ICU, so we're meeting my sister in Nebraska and then heading to Utah. I'm … Continue reading 2022-07-04 — Road Trip!

Was doing okay. Then I wasn't. Didn't do anything today. Maybe tomorrow. ~ stephen

So yesterday I was super tired at 8 o'clock, starting to doze off, ready to crash. Then I chatted on the phone for a while, and then I have a second wind and didn't end up going to bed until like...3. 🙃 Whoops. Slept until about 11. Did... 4.25 cars today. One person (with a … Continue reading 2022-07-02 — Not Quite

Hiya, folks. It's only 7:48 p.m. right now, but my eyes are closing. I'm ready to crash. Haven't done anything today. Hot day. Nothing really promised to anyone, so I stayed home. Nice not to be out in the heat, but it's gonna get worse. Gonna be beastly hot for at least the next two … Continue reading 2022-07-01 — Tired Early

Holar, folks! Gratefully, in addition to being a short work day, it was pretty easy. First car was a Honda with a radiator fan that wasn't turning on--turned out to be a bad fan. The replacement was pretty easy and went quickly. Second car was another Honda that needed an alternator. Easy peasy. Great conversation … Continue reading 2022-06-30 — Goodbye June

Not sure what to write today. Supposedly have a meeting with my Modern English peeps tomorrow about 3. For the record, I have this feeling like I shouldn't do it. (sigh) So tired of those feelings. I'm... probably gonna do it anyway because... 😕 I'm tired of those feelings, tired of getting dammed up when … Continue reading 2022-06-29 — Turn the Ship

Hola, folks! It's been quite a sideways day today. I got up and left fairly quickly after getting up to go work on cars. First car was an issue with the key not coming out of the ignition with the customer having broken his gear shifter trying to force it out of park. (he was … Continue reading 2022-06-28 — Mostly Sideways

Took it relatively easy again today, just two cars--radiator on a 2013 Subaru Impreza WRX and a noise inspection on an early 2000s BMW, I believe it was (had been in a wreck she wasn't aware of, and the damaged fender liner finally broke apart). Jobs went just fine. No real issues. That was nice. … Continue reading 2022-06-27 — Unexpected Compliment

Happy end of Sunday, folks. 😊 It was an absolutely beautiful day today. Highs were around 79-80. Humidity wasn't too bad at all. Actually, it was quite pleasant; and there was a decent little breeze. After 5 p.m.ish for the rest of the night, it was... perfect. 😊 Anyway, I slept in quite late today, … Continue reading 2022-06-26 — Garden State
