A product of my own ridiculousness last night, I got into the yard, dropped the trailer did my paperwork and headed to the property.  It was too late and it was raining.  Darkness settling in, I decided I'd go back tomorrow - which is now today - and try again.  

Headed to Applebee's - hunger and the fact that no one was home cinched that idea easily.  I got to talking to an older couple at the bar -  the place was empty - and a few hours passed by without my realizing it.  Got home - still hadn't checked the clock - saw the cop/banker guy out on his front porch - that's a pretty rare thing to see, he works 7 days a week - and went over there instead of going in the house.  That went on for a couple of hours and before I knew it, it was after midnight!

So much for getting up early to go look at the property, it's almost 9:30 am, lol.  It's supposed to rain today. That isn't going to thwart me from going over there, I figure I'll take an umbrella and still walk the property.  The only thing I can tell you is that I am not in love with the last - 100/200? - feet of roadway going back in there. 

I did see the old mobile, and yes it's overgrown with bushes and vines and there are 4 pine trees in the front of it - directly in front of it, growing up against the side of the mobile. The front door was open, not a good sign if you had any thoughts of salvaging the thing and redoing it.  That means rats, mice, snakes, animals whatever can and probably have gone inside of it.  I quickly wrote that thing off, tho I suspect I will go into it today to look anyway.  Umm, pistol in my pocket thank you very much.

I will probably take the dogs as well, they are due for a hike, that is, if I can motivate myself to get out of here soon, it's not raining right now and apparently won't be until this afternoon.  

About the time I was going to bed last night James and Taylor showed up - they went straight to bed, it was 1:00 am at that point and just have to kick myself today for staying up so late needlessly.  Oh well, it was fun socializing with people.  

Besides the portion of road I don't like, I remain hopeful to like the property at least and also hunt for the water supply.  Everything is covered with long grass, if it's out there it's going to be difficult to find. The only thing I can say is that the Texas PUC map overlay shows both properties in that grid and therefore in that water supply system.  That does does not automatically mean there is water line under the ground going through there. It just means I can get service to the property, but likely would have to pay for it to be run from wherever it stops to the properties themselves. 

Oh, it's Sunday and I have the day off. Finally, a Sunday off.  I'm going to get out of here, get over to the property, take a good long look rain or shine and then get back home, do some cleaning and enjoy the day off.  Tomorrow is off to Oklahoma - late load means I won't get to do it in one day unless I stay up until 4:00 am - no thanks, I'll just get back to the truck stop casino where I normally stop, spend the night there and finish out the trip on Tuesday.

With that, I best be going.  

Probably do a live stream on Facebook.

G'day.
