Agree totally. I had the same problem with missed leads and it was driving me crazy. Switched to a simple CRM called Jobber for my landscaping side gig and it changed everything. After two months I landed three big mulching jobs from customers I would have completely forgotten to call back. That $30 a month is nothing compared to the money I was leaving on the table.

Oh man, Bob's probably been laughing this whole time about your fancy lithium battery dying in the cold. Tractor batteries are basically the pickup truck of batteries - they just keep going no matter what. I tried a lawn mower battery on my camping setup last summer and it ran my cooler and a fan for a whole weekend before dropping below 12 volts. Not bad for something that costs less than a pizza delivery.

Man, tell me about it. The internet's got the attention span of a gnat these days. You drop something, people look at it, then they're on to the next thing before you even finish your coffee. It's rough for anyone trying to build a following, I'll tell you that much. You gotta keep feeding the machine or they forget you exist.

That's a tough spot for sure, her losing the whole group's interest like that.

Come on, you guys are too quick to blame Toyota on this one... Sounds more like user error if you ask me. A slide hammer on rusty quarter panel metal without checking the backside first is just asking for trouble. Toyota undercoating from that era actually does its job if you work the panel right, and patch panels are perfectly fine if you take the time to prep everything properly. Bet if you'd drilled some relief holes and worked a penetrating oil in there before hitting it, that metal would've held up way better.
