 Tuesday morning. 

Had Monday off. Can't say as I got much accomplished beyond laundry, some cleaning, getting a pond liner off and talking to my son - he turned 28 yesterday.  He's doing really good, amazingly enough, he went into full detail about how his life changed after the divorced and how he has his small grouping of friends.  

He's also saving to get his own place and has amazingly saved up 10k in a pretty short span of time. He must have my mom's genes. I am not the avid saver either of them are, I like a mix of saving and living life at the same time.  That does not, by any stretch of the imagination, mean that I am not saving.  Hundreds of dollars come out of every paycheck and go into 401k.  Hundreds more go into savings every month.  

I could be saving more, tho.  But, I see people wait until they are retired, well past the prime of their life and wonder how that works out for them.  

I finally found the utility company map from the state of Texas - something I'm going to be saving so I don't have to dig it up again.  It shows the name of what company that serves where.  Water utility to be precise. It does not show it serves my intended property, but it does show the property across the street.  I assume that means I can have a line run to my property - but assumptions are not facts and I will be calling them about that if/when I hear anything about the property.

Which, of course, no news came yesterday.  I will be contacting my realtor today to ask about what the other realtor came up with after meeting with the owner.  

Well, I'm off to Brownsville. A later load than usual, and later than I like at 10:30, but nothing as bad as when you start loading at noon or later. It's the time of day that the run keeps you out til to make it down there.  I probably won't be out of the plant until 12:30 at the earliest, meaning a 10:30 night - at the earliest - today.  That's not terrible, it's not great but it could be worse. 

And with that, time to be off to work.

G'day. 

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
