So, overnight, the information posted on my account on HP has finally changed. It went from "there might be a delay in shipping" to looking at the tracking number with Fed Ex and finding out my computer is at a sorting facility somewhere in Phoenix, right now and is to be delivered to my house today.
Finally. Not that I have REALLY missed the thing, I can live without it, but I enjoy having it around when I am sitting in the semi, waiting to get unloaded and can surf the internet or write emails or whatever I want to do, really.
I am stuck with this computer - or more to the point - the company that manufactured this computer and there is no way around that. If I ever have to buy another laptop again, it most certainly will NOT be an HP product is all I can say about that. I am going to make sure and follow up about this free extended warranty. I am quite sure that dude that offered it is not going to want to hear the sound of my voice ever again, so it will be good for him to simply give it to me or I will be calling the other guy again. If you are going to promise something, then with me? Best to follow through with it, thank you.
I have $550 to go to pay off that trailer. I will be VERY glad to get that done and over with. That's a bit of a hit on my monthly expenses right now - just 2 full and a 3rd partial payment to go and it's done. Then I can go about the task of trying to either sell it or trade it for a pickup. I was speaking with my mother last night, I figure the trailer is worth around 3K. She thinks about that and says: well what kind of truck can you buy for 3 thousand dollars? Not a new one, rest assured, mother. It's that or sell the thing and put a trailer hitch on my car and buy a small trailer. Whatever the case, hopefully 3 months from now both of these trailers will be out of my driveway permanently and then I can focus my attention on my newest goal: a guesthouse/casita/whatever you want to call it.
I am saving money towards that end. It will take a while to save up enough to build the thing, though. I can do much of the construction myself, but I honestly have no clue how to build trusses for the roof.
Well, anyway, it's time to be off to work. Not that much to do as of yesterday afternoon in the truck routing system. I sort of hope that changes, but then again, there is lots of cleanup that needs to be done at the yard, I haven't had time to do much of it and it starts getting really bad looking out there after a few weeks of pulling orders and loading them on the truck. Rocks; pieces of pallets; cardboard this that and the other thing laying everywhere.
G'day.
