I put a deposit down on my dream truck yesterday because of clandestine timing from the universe. Went to the dealership to ask them to keep an eye out since I’m having trouble finding one… turns out a couple is trading one in on Wednesday for a newer model.
Celebrating the fact that I won’t have to die of heat stroke in coveralls hauling around tires and benching up semi truck drivelines for the foreseeable future.
Driving in the rough part of the city and having to guess “Eviction or Garage Sale” and not being able to definitively decide either way.
Put my oldest niece on the bike and let her start it. She goes “CAN YOU RIDE IT?” Girl, I rode it here 😂
I have lost my primary motorcycle key because last fall I put it in a very special, very safe spot. That now I can not find. Disappointed, definitely not surprised.
Honestly you know you’re buying a house with the right person when you go to pick out paint colours and it takes less than ten minutes because you both collectively share a brain cell.
I just booked flights to go see my dad on the BC coast in June for Father’s Day weekend to go with him to a 600+ classic car show and I AM SO EXCITED
The second annual tweet: for international women’s day all I want is the men I work with to stop sarcastically wishing me a happy international women’s day.
Hey Twitter, I recently got a second set of rims for a smoking deal. Thinking of getting one set powder coated black for summer, and trying to choose which would look best. Help me choose. The ones currently mounted are 15s and the new set are 16s
I have THREE WHOLE DAYS of being the only mechanic on shift in Red Deer and to be honest, I am overjoyed. I just love being left alone. In my element, unmasked, unbothered, thriving dirt goblin.
Isn’t everyone just exhausted from being so angry at everyone else all the time? Collectively we need a nap.
Social media might have negative effects but nothing sends me into a constant state of life-shortening anxiety like Outlook.
My ongoing adhd-fuelled obsession is finding the perfect bags, suitcases and pouches for things. I have TOO MANY and I dislike the vast majority of them because they don’t organize the things they hold quite right.
The best part about staying in this camp will be driving away from it tomorrow and going all the way home to my own bed.
