🗄️ Uncompressing multiple nested folders

I tend to download many files, most of which are all placed into their own folder within my downloads directory.

I ended up calling Nicole and having her pick me up and take me home, where I could call around and get it towed to Docs Automotive in Okemos, as they had done work for me in the past. ...

🪫 Dead Battery

Well, it finally happened; I shouldn’t say finally, as this is the second time that I have had to change the battery in a 2013 Chevy Silverado since I purchased it, but the timing sucked more this time around. I got home from work Wednesday, pulled into the driveway like usual, put it in the park, turned off my Bluetooth aux receiver, and turned the ignition off. I know it’s quite the production… ...
