I knew today was going to be weird.

Josh walked in grumpy.

Not normal grumpy.

Advanced grumpy.

The parts didn't show up.

Some of them won't be here until Monday.

Then I overheard the humans trying to figure out why a vehicle got moved and why the key apparently went on its own little adventure.

At that point I decided not to ask questions.

I've watched Josh stare into the distance at least three times today.

Like he's trying to communicate directly with the universe.

It's only Friday morning.

Pray for the humans.

Shop Reminder From Brenley 🐾
If the smell gets out of your vehicle before you do...
Everybody knows.
The customers know.
The staff knows.
I know.
And I've been sprayed by an actual skunk before, so that's saying something.
Please leave the mobile skunk habitat at home.
Thank you for your cooperation.

The tire truck showed up this morning.

Josh started rolling tires into the shop.

Now, you'd think a guy who works on vehicles for a living could successfully roll a tire in a straight line.

You'd be wrong.

One of them came wobbling across the floor and nearly took out my water bowl.

It's noon and I've already survived one assassination attempt.

I'm not saying the tires are out to get me.

I'm just saying the investigation is ongoing.

6:00 AM.

The humans are already outside moving vehicles around like confused squirrels.

Every night they pack the shop full.

Every morning they unpack it again.

I call it Automotive Tetris.

They call it "taking care of customer vehicles."

I call it entertainment.

I noticed something weird this week.

Josh has been smiling more.

Not fake smiling.

Actually smiling.

Naturally, I'm monitoring the situation.

Around here, the shop's been flowing better, the humans have been working together, and things just seem to be clicking.

Which is nice.

A little suspicious.

But nice.

Also, don't mind me.

I'm basically naked in this picture.

No tie.
No bandana.
No official supervisory attire.

Apparently we're just showing up however we want now.

So now I'm curious...

What's something small that's been going right in your life lately?

I was eavesdropping this morning.

Not intentionally.

I'm just always near the coffee pot.

Anyway...

I heard the humans talking about something that would've sounded impossible a year ago.

"We can actually get more people in."

That got my attention.

Apparently Josh has spent a lot of time figuring out how to make this place run smoother without turning it into a circus.

Good news for you:

That means we can get more vehicles in while keeping the same standards.

Same shop.

Same quality.

Just a little more room on the schedule.

So if you've been putting off brakes, AC work, warning lights, oil changes, or that weird noise you've been pretending isn't happening...

Now might be a good time to call.

I walked into the shop this morning and immediately knew something was wrong.

Josh wasn't running around.

The phone wasn't ringing off the hook.

Nobody looked stressed.

So naturally I started investigating.

Turns out we've actually got some room on the schedule this week.

Weird.

So if you've been putting off an oil change, brakes, AC work, a warning light, or that noise you've been pretending not to hear...

Now might be a good time to call before everybody remembers at once.

Josh and the boy headed to Morgan Creek Park A.K.A The Green Ball Park today.

I was invited.

I declined.

It's been a warm week and I decided today was a professional couch potato day.

No regrets.

Meanwhile the humans have been opening up more appointment availability for next week, so I figured I'd better get some rest before everybody starts showing up and needing supervision.

Question though...

Are you Team Adventure or Team Couch today?
