24 years ago March 19th was my last day of high school. Crazy. Memories. I don't like the time is linear. I miss people and places and times. Memories... Sometimes aren't enough to satisfy. Sometimes I want to go back and be again in those days and times. Not because of regrets or things that … Continue reading 2023-03-19 — 24 Years Ago

I'm angry, and I'm disgusted. It's the 19th today, and I just got a phone call from a young woman who seemed to be on the verge of tears because Firestone quoted her $4,000 to replace her radiator some hoses and a rear wheel cylinder. I just want to go over there, go to these … Continue reading 2023-03-18 — Disgusted

Phew! Long day! I'm just now heading home, and it's after 11:30 p.m. it's been a long day today, not a bad day, just a long one. I headed out pretty much first thing this morning after getting up, as per usual lately. Though I had a really busy day, for some reason, I didn't … Continue reading 2023-03-17 — Phantoms and… Crap. 😅

Wow, a day. Something just went off in my brain saying that today is my college girlfriend's birthday? Is that right? Gosh... Can't believe I forgot that one. Heck, I remember my high school girlfriend's birthday still. Weird. Aaaanyway... Joints hurt pretty good right now--ankles, knees, hips. Back was screaming at me earlier. I'm exhausted. … Continue reading 2023-03-16 — Just One Today

It has been a day. 😶 I got up pretty much immediately began to finish transferring all of my tools and supply from my backup Dodge van to my Ford that just had the transition rebuilt. I had paid for my nephew to get a new bed for his truck with the understanding that he … Continue reading 2023-03-15 — Third String

Quite the day today! I got up about the normal time, and drove straight to Farmington to get going on the first car of the day. It was just shy of a 45 minute drive, and when I got there, nobody answered the door, and the keys weren't left with the car like they said … Continue reading 2023-03-14 — Happy Pi Day

My huge week last week took such a toll on me that I was just dragging all day today. It's almost like a hangover from last week. Totally exhausted. Burned out. Unmotivated. 🙃 I only did four cars today, despite the phone ringing many many many times. I gave a bunch of referrals to one … Continue reading 2023-03-13 — Hangover

I think I must have been running off of mostly adrenaline by the end of the week because today I was so exhausted that I pretty much didn't leave the recliner in my room the entire day. I had so much that I needed to get done today, but I was just completely wasted away … Continue reading 2023-03-12 — Vegetable

Back at it bright and early. First car was a 2015 Dodge ram diesel that had suspension noises. I found that it had, after a long test drive and some crawling around diagnostics in the rain, then it had a bad wheel bearing and bad tie rods. It also needed new shocks. The gentleman was … Continue reading 2023-03-11 — 100-Hour Work Week

So I sent a message to the new guy that I thought was going to work out but didn't. I let him know that it wasn't going to work out and wished him the best. Man, I wish it had worked out! I think I mentioned yesterday that I've basically come to the conclusion as … Continue reading 2023-03-10 — 20-hour work day
