Hola, folkses. 🙂 Happy... Tuesday? I think it's Tuesday. Was up late again... I think? Gosh... it's all flowing together. I seriously thought about taking the day off. I actually made a small effort to do that, having only one job I'd promised for today, but I was so worn out (I think the heat … Continue reading 2022-06-14 — More Than I Thought

Hola, folks! After being up until after five with my internal gas production machine running well past overdrive (sometimes, it felt like I single handedly could reduce energy costs in the US if they'd just tap into my wonderful Apricot goodness. 😬 Feeling much better now, gratefully. No more apricots for me, thank you very … Continue reading 2022-06-13 — Engine Out

So... I ate a whole bunch of tried apricots right before bed... and now... here we are hours later, and my bowels are still quite unhappy with me. ...and heart burn. It's 4:15 a.m. Ugh. 😬 Not the smartest choices. 🙃 Gonna be a hot... at least couple of weeks. Today was brutal. Tomorrow will … Continue reading 2022-06-12 — Too Many Apricots

Another journal entry being dictated as I head home. It's been a really long, frustrating day. The first job went just fine. It was just a bad battery, so I replaced that, and all was great. The next job stood me up, so that was annoying, especially since I'd already done all the quotes and … Continue reading 2022-06-11 — Brake Nightmare

Hola, folks. 🙂 Happy Friday! I was supposed to have my alarm wake me up at 6:30, or something like that, but it never went off. I even had backup alarms set a little later, but... none of them went off, so I slept until like 7:30 or so. I was trying to get up … Continue reading 2022-06-10 — Get Your Motor Runnin’

Life was a lot more straightforward when I solidly believed in God and what I thought I knew about life and eternity and whatnot. It's not so straightforward now. I don't really believe or disbelieve anything that I used to believe, I just have pretty much everything up in the air, and in the midst … Continue reading 2022-06-09 — Pensive

Forgot to publish this last night. Internet went out, so here's what I wrote last night: Hola, folks. Happy... Tuesday? Wait, no, Wednesday! Replaced the alternator in a 2009 Honda Pilot this morning with a good Denso one. Started raining pretty good toward the end, but I had my popup tent thingy, so I set … Continue reading 2022-06-08 — Alternado

Well, the good news is that I didn't spend my entire day in my room. In fact, I didn't spend almost any of my day in my room today. I got up a bit after 11:00 or so, and I took a shower, and at some point in time I went out and started mowing … Continue reading 2022-06-07 — Forward Progress

Not much improvement... maybe a little. Still telling all potential customers 'no' right now. Two cars that I'd already promised and couldn't really, in good conscience, cancel. Ford truck I helped Miguel put in engine in way back in early 2019. Has a knock in the engine. Not good. Then a 2011 Honda Odyssey that … Continue reading 2022-06-06 — Breathing

I'm not really functional right now. Didn't really leave my room all day other than to get food and to help one of my hill family peeps with an issue with her car. Struggling. Lift the World ~ stephen
