Home. I think I'm going to start posting a picture of myself with each daily post. I hate looking at pictures of myself, so I'd probably better deal with that. Otherwise I won't. Anyway, it's 12:35 p.m., and I'm just now heading home from springdale. It's been a long day, and I'm pretty tired. I'm … Continue reading 2021-10-08 — White Flag

2021-10-07 — Still Going
Ended early today. Had more cars I could do. Did... 5? But four paying. Tired. Very tired. Struggling significantly with trying to get my tax data cleaned up. It's taking... forever. And there's no getting out of it. I can't make it go away. I can't pay someone else to do it. I'm the only one … Continue reading 2021-10-07 — Still Going
2021-10-06 — On Fumes
Hiya, folks. I'm about to crash. Exhausted. Up early to be able to drive away before the roads got impassable from the workers. They were kind enough to move out of my way going down the driveway. I sort of tore out of the house this morning without eating or really thinking--just moving and driving … Continue reading 2021-10-06 — On Fumes
2021-10-05 — No Records Today
No records today. Not even close. Sort of a crummy day, honestly with every job pretty much going sideways. Oh well. 🙃 Three cars today. 1992 Ford F150 coolant leak at thermostat housing. If she weren't a long-time customer, I'd stop doing this truck. Old cars = lots more time to fix (generally). They're just … Continue reading 2021-10-05 — No Records Today
2021-10-04 — Surprise!!!
Had a bit of a surprise today. As I drove away early this morning (trying to get out before the road was impassable with the road work going on), I was thinking that I'd set myself a goal to break another record today or at least have a super good day. I was energized by … Continue reading 2021-10-04 — Surprise!!!
2021-10-03 — Back to Work in the Morning
Holar, and happy end of Sunday. 😊 Let's see... today is a bit of a blur. I didn't sleep much. Went to bed around 4 ish and got up at 8 something, I think? I don't remember, honestly. Anyway, decided to listen to the LDS General Conference first session today while vacuuming out my new … Continue reading 2021-10-03 — Back to Work in the Morning
2021-10-02 — 😶
You wanna give me how big of a tip?!?! ... As I drove away from the house today (or sometime early this morning, anyway), I thought to myself. Bust your butt. See if you can make [insert larger sum of money than I've ever made before] today. I wanted to break my record. But the first number … Continue reading 2021-10-02 — 😶
2021-10-01 — It’s Another Day
Long day and almost nothing to show for it. Construction equipment started arriving about 7:30, so i left about 8 or so and just headed out to work. First car went fine (just a lookover on a 2010 Accent they'd just bought). Second car went fine. Diagnosis for an overheat and no start on a … Continue reading 2021-10-01 — It’s Another Day
2021-09-30 — Feels Like… Saturday
Somehow, it feels like tomorrow should be Saturday... like there's just one more day before my rest day. But, alas, it's gonna be a crazy Friday. Se la vie. Rough start to the day. Slept in. Got in a very short but really awful fight with my mom. Really awful. Fortunately, we're good now. Grateful … Continue reading 2021-09-30 — Feels Like… Saturday
2021-09-27 — Trying to Dig Out
I want to be the kind of person who just goes out and spends his time lifting the world even when his own world has crashed around him. So... that's what I'm going to choose. I'm likely gonna have a bunch more days like I did yesterday. I've had countless similar ones, so it's likely … Continue reading 2021-09-27 — Trying to Dig Out
