    Monday, Monday.

    My little guy turns 5 today. Feels like it was yesterday when he joined us. What a blast it has been so far. Such a smart, fun kid.

    Organizing all my parts so when I work on my truck I have everything.
    Found brakes parts, bump stops, cotter pins, seals, O-rings. Stuffs better at work with the rest of the parts so I don't forget something at the house.

    Good morning. Spent most of last night organizing my truck parts that I have in bins. Found more stuff that I should have with me when I do my front end.
    I'll bring that stuff to work today. Now I'm going through my small electrical parts and tossing stuff I no longer need.

    Early Spring cleaning? Maybe.

    Good morning CT. Happy Wednesday.
    I have a feeling that my direct deposit isn't going to go through.

    GM all...been another wild week or so. Work has been busy. FIL is recovering from surgery and all looks good in terms of healing etc. I have been tirelessly working on a few side projects; hoping to improve the income stream. On that note house hunting still blows....Here's a top tip (and not professional financial advice) If you have a credit card you pay off in its entirety and then decide to cancel any automatic payments that you had setup, I would STRONGLYYYYYYYYYYY suggest to check the balance from time to time...a random 5$ recurring payment I forgot about (this is my fault) turned into a $5.43 balance with interest, which turned into a $20.43 balance with a late fee, which then turned into a $45.83 balance which includes 2 months of recurring charges at $5, 2 months of late fees and 2 months of interest....oh and a -51 point slap to my credit....so that fucking blows because that is now on my credit.....all because I forgot to switch payment methods from one card to another. Mortgage company aint gonna be too pleased with this. Oh and my best friends father passed away, funeral on Saturday. Had a somewhat short lived battle with stomach cancer so it wasnt completely unexpected but nonetheless to Mike's point, still isnt easy...Sorry to hear about your grandmother @MikefromCT
