Tuesday - evening

My whole weekend worth of work including yesterday - so 3 days - was cancelled.  Too much product not enough room.  I was thankful. Means I could spend time with the kids before they leave for - the summer basically. Yes, they are coming back in 2-1/2 weeks but then leaving for a month directly after they get back, I've heard within hours.  I dunno if it's actually going to work out that way.  

I do enjoy not having them around, frankly.  They're good kids and all, but a little peace and quiet is nice as well. It's pretty constant stuff day in and day out with all the noise, questions, tv blaring, etc.  When it's adults only here, we really just enjoy the silence.  I'm not sure how I will feel after a month and a half however.  They're with one set of grand parents atm and they spoil the stuffing out of those kids, so I'm sure they're having as good a time as can be had.

I haven't been writing with any regularity for frankly, there isn't a lot new going on.  I'm still waiting on permits and Swepco.  I've got a couple of empty lots that need filling. One is allegedly going to be re-rented this week. The other? No calls. 

Funny how that works. You don't need people and you get dozens and dozens of calls. About the time you do? Nothing.  lol 

The only irregularity today was taking the truck to a local shop to get a wheel hub cover replaced.  It has been leaking for going on 2 weeks now and the oil level in it was very low.  Meaning, potential to burn up bearings and the entire wheel assembly coming off.  That can kill people actually.  Don't worry, I was keeping an eye on it, it was just time to get it done today.  The other thing that can happen is the bearings heat up to the point a fire starts in the wheel, brakes and spreads quickly. The trailer can burn down fast and can even spread to the truck if you don't act quickly.

But why let it get that far?  It's leaking, get it fixed. It's fixed. The only other issue right now is the AC and the place I took it to said if Peterbilt can't figure it out, we aren't likely to be able to either.  At least they were honest about it and gave some recommendations.  

I would have done some work at the property today, but that repair took a couple of hours.  Just that they didn't have the part - even tho they said they had ordered it - they had to get a place to deliver it and then had to wait for the repairman to get back from a run.  I wasn't going to leave at this point, that thing needed fixed.  It's almost 5 pm and I just got home, hence the reason I did nothing at the park. 

Tomorrow is deliver to Gurdon and after that? I didn't check. I saw that there is a load in there, I am assuming it will be for Thursday and Friday and at this point? I'm going to need to work the weekend, way too much time off here.  I mean, I could not work the rest of my life and be very happy about that, lmao.  Yea - no.  Not a happening event, at least not right now.  

Oh, it rained all night long.  There was way too much noise even with the fan on high and ear plugs in, I didn't sleep worth a dead Petunia's petals.  I passed out at the loading plant and fell asleep again at the repair place doing the endless waiting thing.  I feel fine now, lol.  

So what's with the rest of the day? Dinner, pushups, probably a little gaming, some tv and then bed.
