Oh Car Problems

For those who know me, know that I know nothing about cars and only recently found out that when it gets below zero that you have to plug in your car so that it stays warm and will start the next morning big shock to me since I have never lived somewhere where it gets below zero on a regular basis. Any way the battery in my truck was an older battery so after the night that I plugged it in and it still didn't start I went out and bought a new battery which my friend graciously installed for me since I had no clue how to do that. After he fought with installing it, we proceeded to fight with the truck to getting it to start for the last five days so today I youtubed how to replace a car battery took the battery back just to be told that the battery was fine and they wouldn't replace it so I brought it back reinstalled the battery with some help moved some wires for a better connection and it turns out the ground from the battery to the engine needed to be grounded better. Thank goodness for youtube I would never have figured out how to take it out or put it back in if not. So now I officially can replace a car battery if need be...You learn something new everyday

To The New Year

The New Year brings new adventures, new experiences, new jobs, and new people. I recently took the biggest step in my life after graduating from college in June I moved to Wyoming. I originally moved here to work in Yellowstone National Park for the summer taking out trail rides and driving teams with stagecoaches and wagons. I loved every minute of my time spent there, I met a lot of really great people. After my summer came to an end I loved the area so much that I decided to stay in Wyoming and what a roller coaster it has been looking for a job, traveling back to Oregon to see my family and friends, getting a job in Idaho and having to travel back and forth for a couple of weeks from Wyoming to Idaho. I finally found a couple of jobs one of which I have not started yet so that will be the first fun new adventure of the new year. 

Some Goals for the New Year:

• Start my new job with the US Postal Service
• Work on writing in this blog regularly 
• Start paying off Student Loans 
• Move into my own place
• Start practicing roping 
• Become a better rider
• Setting monthly goals 

Now these aren't resolutions but some goals. I have learned the importance of setting goals for yourself. So here is to the New Year everyone make some goals for what you want to accomplish for the year or for the month.
