I'm way off kilter... sleepwise. It's only 5:48, and I'm nodding off. Was up until 6... then I slept until I couldn't sleep, but that was only like... 11? Yeah, way off kilter. Awesome thunderstorm today. Got my room cleaned up a bit. Gonna clean up a bit more. Chest still messed up. Guess I'm … Continue reading 2022-05-15 — Weird Injuries

Didn't work today. Injured some muscle or something in my chest. Hurt to breathe. Exerting myself makes it worse, so... I took the day off. Gonna take the day off tomorrow as well. Took a nap. Hard to sleep because it would hurt to move, and I move in my "sleep" a lot. Not much … Continue reading 2022-05-14 — Just Breathe

Hiyah, folks! Woke up this morning to... nothing. No calls. No messages. 🤔 No reception on the phone. Over the course of the morning, I had one call come in that dropped before I could talk to them. I ended up leaving the property to get reception, where I called T-Mobile, and they switched us … Continue reading 2022-05-13 — Reception Vacation

Another run and gun day. Seven cars, 10 billable hours. Rocked it pretty good. First car was a 2007 Hyundai Accent that had died while driving. But just as I was getting started, and had already been on the ground looking at stuff, I realized I had been right next to a snake curled up … Continue reading 2022-05-12 — Run and Gun… Still.

I took it a little easier today. I got up early and headed out early because I wanted to get new tires on the front of my van before it blew, the wire sticking out and wobbling badly as it went down the road. Gratefully, it didn't blow before I got to the tire place … Continue reading 2022-05-11 — Takin’ It Easier

Did I mention that now that it's May, the sun is waking me up at like 6, even though I'm exhausted? Sometimes it's not so great to be an insanely light sleeper. 🙃 Up early, working early, long day... six cars. First car was... oh yeah, belt that came off. Turned out to be a … Continue reading 2022-05-10 — Morning Light

Hiya, folks. 😊 Super tired. Woke up early. Couldn't fall back asleep. Only did two cars today, but it was still a very long day. First car was a 2003 Mercury Sable that was dying when turning and trying to accelerate. I got there, and it was misfiring on cylinder 1, so I had to … Continue reading 2022-05-09 — Early Summer

Chose to work today... try to make back some of my losses, and also get customers taken care of that I was supposed to have gotten yesterday. First job was a no start. Took a while to figure it out, as it seemed like a really weird electrical problem that seemed to clearly to be … Continue reading 2022-05-08 — Working Sunday

Hola, folks. 🙂 About to crash, but gotta get the daily post up. Long work day today with some cars going sideways. First car was a 2013 Silverado that needed an oil pressure sensor (really common issue with Chevy trucks and SUVs). Second time in the last couple of days or so, though, that the … Continue reading 2022-05-07 — Grind

Lost $4611 today in my first day back with serious trading. There wasn't anything good to trade this morning, so I thought I'd try a different strategy. Didn't work. I didn't get mad. I didn't flip out, so that's something, but I did prove to myself that I can't discipline myself enough to trade intelligently. … Continue reading 2022-05-07 — Tapped Out
