 Not much new going on here.  Was in Brownsville this morning, no detention pay, they're trying - again - to stop all of that. It never lasts forever.  But, I've made 2 trips down there in the last 4 days plus I have an Oklahoma going out tomorrow.  Still a good paycheck without detention.  Detention just  means you get to sit around getting paid for doing nothing but waiting. It's easy  money, I can make the same money driving - and y'all know what I think about driving at this point in my life.

The decision is made. If this property becomes mine, I'm contacting the owner of the land/house next door and informing him I need my property. All of my property.  I've looked at that portion of the land several times.  It's perfect for a doggy park, a playground or a septic system.  Or a combination of 2 of them.  Save me room in the back for more pads.

I did contact my agent today.  Any word on the title company?  What about the survey?  

She seemed annoyed. I haven't been texting her at all, for about a week now.  But she was not happy that the survey hadn't been sent yet. The full survey.  Apparently she gave them time to come up with the full version of it, they haven't done that yet.  So she said she would ask them to order a survey - at their expense as provided in the contract they signed.  You know these sellers can opt out of this sale the same as I can?  Let's not get too pushy. At the same time, a completed survey will be required by any lender.  I just don't want to lose yet another property.  

Addler is grumpy. I haven't been home much lately and out again tomorrow. But it's an early load, I'm going to try and get home tomorrow night.  Just depends on how the day goes.  Or how I feel - I don't always want to do that.  Sleeping in the truck isn't the end of my world.  

Oh, 4th.  We had fireworks.  A pretty good show for just us lol.  It was fun. I got home from Brownsville, they had some fireworks out on display for the night.  I offered some money to go get more - we gonna do it, let's do it right. The guys took me up on that offer and went to the next town to get some. Me? I sat on the chair. I had no desire to drive or be a passenger in any vehicle after driving literally all day long. 

I have this growing dilemma of not want to drive anything at all. Offroad vehicles or boats excepted lol.  

It really needs to go back into the shop.  I need them to find out why it will run great, turn it off and then it doesn't want to start back up again. I'm going to bring it over here first and put a new battery in it and probably install a trolling motor.  Everyone wants to go boating, I'll say that lol. I just got fed up with it and parked it.

Well enough of this. It's getting late and 5:00 am - comes early.

G'nite.


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