Went over to inspect the property the city is complaining about. Yup, there is tall grass and weeds.  Just like properties all over the place in the entire city.  If they're going to pick on me, they best be picking on everyone else as well. Yes, there is a size limit - under a certain amount of square feet you have to keep it mowed down.  Well, there are lots and lots of small lots that are covered with weeds and brush.

I'm not sure what their beef is, I didn't start anything with the city.  :I went over to one of the other properties to see about that one, somebody actually mows the property.  I assume homeowner in the rear of the property but I don't know that for sure. Wonder if they'd be interested in buying it and get it out of my hair.  Sell it for 2 grand and be done with it. 

The other property along the railroad tracks has never been developed and is literally covered with trees;, brush and weeds.  If they come along demanding that be cleaned up - there are properties on the other side that are the exact same condition, I'm going to have to confront these city officials.  If the town were cleaned up I could see it. But I'd say at least a quarter of the city is undeveloped property and another eighth at least is old property that has some sort of structure on it and over grown with brush and weeds.  

Their threat was to clean it up themselves, put a lien on the property and the file a lawsuit.  I'm still aghast that they only gave me a week to get this done.  Whatever.  It will be done on Saturday, the real estate agent will go out there after they clean it up and take pics and then list it on the MLS.  

Over to the boat - it's at a storage lot - I had to find a way to get my SUV to the rear of it to put on jumper cables so I could get the hydraulic lift to lift up the motor and put the bar on it that holds it from shaking around.  That was a pain, because people had parked things on either side of it.  It got that done and then headed over to the courthouse to get the trailer registered. I was going to register the boat - but that system was down today.  Well I at least got the trailer the boat is on re-registered and they didn't try to charge me for the time it's been out of registration. I haven't used that boat since - 2019?  Before the covid disaster started.  

So now, we're going to head over there in Taylor's truck, hook up the boat and drag it the 40 plus miles to the boat repair facility where it will probably sit for a while.  They get a backload of stuff to do there and it could sit for months like it did last time. But, it's doing no good sitting in that storage lot and I want to get it going if possible.  They just told me at the repair facility that they're backed up but it is what it is.  I'm going to have them repair everything on it this time.  New battery, get all the lights going, fix the steering and install a speedometer - you have to know how fast you're going for wake zones and such.  They actually put speed limits out there on certain portions of lakes and reservoirs.  

Anyway, after that there's a slew of things I'd like to get done over there while in town.  Make a day out of it.
