(written on the 13th) Successful work day today. 🙂 I finished six cars and just over 10 billable hours. 🥳 Card number one was a 2013 Dodge avenger in Pea Ridge. She needed a Master window switch, a cabin air filter, and she wanted to know where the oil was leaking from. The job went … Continue reading 2024-03-06 (Wednesday) — Normal Work Day

(written on the 13th) Well, it's all done. Every last little piece of both huge greenhouses is in the upper pasture across from Stevie's house. Done. 🎉🥳🎊 That was a good bit bigger of a project than what I had thought it was going to be. 😅 But it's done now. Now I just need … Continue reading 2024-03-05 — So Long Oklahoma

(written on the 13th) Another nightmare... Maybe I shouldn't call them nightmares. I don't know. They are just circumstances that remind me how lonely I am, so I wake up feeling super super lonely. And I'm having trouble sleeping. Well, not so much sleeping, in general, as waking up earlier than I want to. I'm … Continue reading 2024-03-04 — Lonely

Despite the fact that I feel like it would be better for me if I started turning back to God again, I just can't get myself to do it. I didn't go to church again today. Was it being Jim's birthday yesterday, I wanted to do something for him. He wanted to get his grow … Continue reading 2024-03-03 — Getting to Know Risa

Well, I'm sitting on my trailer tongue about 7 minutes away from Gravette. Why am I sitting on my trailer tongue on the side of the road? Well, because Stephen drives a general motors junk truck. His instrument cluster works when it wants to work. And even when his instrument cluster works, the gas gauge … Continue reading 2024-03-02 — Just One More Trip

Long day today. Not a rush day. Just a long day. Though it actually snowed a bit last night, I was grateful that it wasn't a super cold day today. There were times where it was a tad bit chilly, but nothing too crazy. In the blink of an eye, it will be the hot … Continue reading 2024-03-01 — Happy March!

Gosh, why am I not remembering yesterday? 🙃 I spent some time organizing the greenhouse parts that I've been bringing back from Oklahoma. Then Jim and I went over to Oklahoma to get more greenhouse parts, but we only had an hour there before he had to be back for his shift at the Bentonville … Continue reading 2024-02-29 — Happy Leap Day! 🦘

(written on the first) It was in the '80s yesterday. The 80s! And I walked out this morning in shorts and a t-shirts, and it was, I think, 28°. 😶 Welcome to Northwest Arkansas. 😅😆 I didn't go out working on cars right away today. I actually drove over to Hidden Springs Park to redo … Continue reading 2024-02-28 (Wednesday) — 10+ GPM!!!

(written on March 1st) Let's see... It was another day on the farm today. Oh, but I guess before that, I saw that somebody had posted a little tool shed for a decent price on Facebook Marketplace. Just something to hold up shovels and rakes and what not, not any equipment. So I drove all … Continue reading 2024-02-27 (Tuesday) — ‘Nother Day On the Farm

My morning servicise on Sunday consisted of trying to clear the fence lines of the weeds in the area by Hidden Springs Park, trying to do it quickly enough that it required some good cardio effort. It's hard to do blackberries quickly, though. 🙃 They hurt! (My arms and legs have been shredded by blackberry … Continue reading 2024-02-25 (Sunday) — No More Poison Ivy
