Have you accomplished a thing today? Tell us about it! What have you done that made you feel like you accomplished a thing?
Friday night I went over my friends house and we swapped the entire suspension on his Fiesta in 2 hours, and then fixed our fuck up in 10 minutes. Cleaned everything up and were sitting on the couch before 9 pm.
Saturday
-Cleaned out most of the things in our old fridge so someone from craigslist can take it.
-Dropped the fuel tank on the project car so it can get replaced by the new tank with an in tank fuel pump.
-In the process of dropping the tank, finally found the damn wire for the fuel level gauge. (HUGE DEAL)
-Tutored my young cousin in the ways of automobiles by getting him to help me.
-Destroyed it at a game of Power Grid.
Sunday
-Again helped my friend with his Fiesta, this time we swapped the whole cat back exhaust. Snapped off an exhaust stud in the process (BAD), but was able to press out the base of the stud with a C-clamp (holy crap was this a clutch save for our day).
-Finished cleaning out the fridge and defrosted the freezer door. Apparently it had accumulated it's weight in frost.
-Waited around for craigslist guy that never showed, but if he had we would have gotten rid of the fridge too.

- Logged into work early to review the MST (Military Sexual Trauma )inventory of claims and reassign accordingly to my trainees
- Worked on some high priority claims. One claim sent to the rating board to where it looks like we'll be able to grant benefits
- Contacted a veteran about her claim pending rating decision if we need to go out for additional records. Previously contacted her in March about her previously denied claim to let her know we can help her out. She ended up having an anxiety attack on me and potential suicidal risk. Was able to calm her down and tell her that her claim is being rated today. Will follow up on claim to where it should finalized by end of day. Will follow up with her in a few days to see if she received the decision letter. (more than likely we're granting benefits going back almost 2 years $$$$). She was able to calm down. We ended up having a conversation to where I made her laugh. She told me she hasn't laughed in over a year and thanked me for being able to have her do so.
- Now taking care of some Homeless veteran claims so we can get them benefits as well.
- Made a .gif to poke fun at Scott
- Various emails answering questions and assisting my trainees on their questions for MST stuff.
So far a pretty good, but hectic day.
Edit: It's not shit talk because I never intended to do most of these things other than work.
Sunday - Street Fair, Netrunner Tournament, Party at Chase's, read comics, Early sleep
Today - go to work, make podcast, special pre-opening dinner at new BBQ restaurant, read, sleep.
All the tired.
I also helped my dad and brother change the main seal on their lawn mower, which involved cracking the crankcase open. I'm proud that we were able to do that, put it back together, and it doesn't leak (especially since we reused the case steel shim gasket).
