project sixer summer 2023

so, stuff is stacked throat high in my world…

…so here’s what’s needing to be done as of when i’m writing this (june 30th, 2023):

1. blaq betty, part i – on wednesday, june 28th, i had my temp tire put on the back since belts were starting to show. i now have the new tire and need to get swapped, but i barely drove on the temp. like less than twenty five miles. and then…

2. blaq betty, part ii – on the same day as above i did a breakfast taco for dinner run and got a “battery charging failure” alert, which it turns out was due to a shredded serpentine belt. as of this writing i ALSO have the belt in, but already had it in my head i’d just be rolling in grey for the weekend (i owe him – he sat for three weeks prior due to a dead battery i’ve since replaced) so this has to actually be done BEFORE i can even drive to the tire place.

3. charge it up – before all this i got all the stuff to do a shop project of creating a charging station. the parts sit on the table. the furniture sits in the entryway. this isn’t helping anyone here.

4. arturo mobility – my eighty-five year old uncle totaled his truck and i need to help him get a new one. we’ll expand on this once it gets resolved.

5. endless summer project – we got the pool cleaned out and started to fill it. my original goal was by my birthday, but now we’re coming up on july 4th with no pool thanks to it leaking because we left it out all winter. we now have a liner, although it came with the wrong clips. i believe i’ve found the right clips so we’ll see where this takes us.

6. my desk. the yard. enough already.

again, this is being written on the thirtieth of june. it’s going to publish on the ninth of july. let’s see what a difference ten days (many of them work days) can make! since this was quite a bit we’ll revisit on the next post!
