And today is my 57th birthday.  Don't feel a day under 90.  Seriously, I didn't manage to force myself out of bed until 10:30 this morning. That because I spent half the night hacking and coughing away.  Finally getting to sleep, I just slept in, lol, nothing going on today, probably break Keto for a few meals to eat some real pasta or potatoes. Well take that back, definitely eating potatoes!  I "fixed" keto for me after figuring out an ingredient I was using in things was definitely not keto and throwing me out of ketosis every time I used it.  Fixed, the pounds started dropping off again.  

And good ole' mom.  Called to wish happy birthday, asked about my RV park plans, again affirmed her desire to help out (money of course, loan I assume).  So I simply said I needed the land first  But hey, if I could get the land with the 401k = well the down payment anyway - leave enough left over to get things going on the property - all the stuff you have to have done to make it an RV park - maybe I could hit her up for a 10k loan.  Some things will have to be put off without more cash infusion, such as laundry room and showers - things RV'ers really want from what I have been reading all over the internet.  

Of course, I thought about that and thought temporary facility - giant shed things - could be set up until I make enough money to invest in putting up real buildings.  There's lots of thoughts about this thing floating around in my mind, but it becomes obvious that if you want it to be a "destination" in itself, it best be loaded with amenities.  And it should have something that sets it apart from other RV parks, The only real thing that comes to mind is a property big enough to have ATV trails on it, charge extra for the use.  

She has money, she offered it, I didn't ask - I wouldn't ask actually - it's something I might entertain in planning for this endeavor.  

There is no clear path at this point without the land and there is no land that I have found that isn't too far off a major highway that is suitable.  That one on 59 - if only it wasn't covered with water and flat land, would have been an absolutely perfect location.  I just don't have the massive amount of money it would cost to improve that land until it became usable.  And it's not worth sinking that much money into a property like that anyway.  But - I am pretty much come to the conclusion that 25 acres or more is really necessary to have something that can be expanded and improved over time.  

Well enough of that for now. I'm not cashing out the 401k yet - still haven't quite crossed that line in my thinking.  Im going to take it easy today. The dispatcher asked if I would like to come back on Monday - she didn''t ask if I wanted a load this weekend and I didn't even bother to ask.  After how I felt this morning, a few more days off won't kill my finances, especially after taking some vacation pay and maybe I'll have one small check 2 Fridays from now, but that isn't unusual even under normal circumstances.  

And, I can help move stuff out of bedrooms, at least, as long as my energy levels stay up.  I'll just focus on my bedroom lol, doing other bedrooms is kind of out of the question and besides, James found a couple guys at work that are going to come help move everything out.  I'd finish my room today, but now that I know I'm not working until Monday I am not going to bother to do that until tomorrow and finish up on Sunday.  It's mainly going through old papers - that were important at one time but are useless now - and chucking them into the recycle bin.  

I'm not bad about keeping my room clean, but I am bad about collecting papers lol.  New carpt tho? That will keep me focused on keeping it really nice in here and just getting rid of papers I don't need when they arrive - usually in the mail.

And just like that, I found 4 properties on the same road for sale, 3 of them by one owner and the other an owner financed deal.  The owner financed one is 14 acres. the prise is a bit more than I want to pay, but all 4 of those property have been up for sale for 6 months.  The other 3 are 40, 45 and I think 35 acres.  They are not owner financed \but he selling price is quite good.  I didn't have a chance to go today - I was at Chili's watching taylor work, chatting with employees and watching corporate people who showed up = standing in a corner, staring at employees and customers.  I know they were simply evaluating the workers and the happiness level of customers, but it got a bit weird after quite a while, them standing there, taking notes and - staring.
