 Facebook experiencing worldwide disruptions lol.  I can't even access the site.  I think they said Myspace and Whatsapp - both Facebook owned social media platforms - are also down.  I think it would be wonderful if the site would stay down for say - a month.  Let people get used to not being on Facebook constantly and get used to living a - normal - life again.  Of course, that isn't likely to happen, but it would probably help this world immensely.  

I went out to the property early this morning and got with it.  I bypassed doing any RV park work and went straight to work on creating walking trails.  I spent something like 6 hours doing that total, plus the time I spent there the other day, got quite a lot done.  It isn't finished and isn't likely to be,l my time with that machine is running out.  I quit earlier than I would have liked, just got very warm and hence, quite fatigued.  

It wasn't the easiest work back there either. It's like a jungle back there, unchecked growth that was so thick it took quite a bit of time to work through any of it.  But it was something that I really wanted to at least get a good start on and that I did.

After I was through with that - got to dead ends, things in the way that the machine can't move and no alternate routes - I went back to work on the RV portion of the site.  

I'm not sure what's going on, perhaps a load being sent for tomorrow late, there is no reason I should not be going on a road trip somewhere tomorrow.  I'll gladly take another day to work on the property, but these dispatchers lately are sending loads late in the afternoon. It's 4:00 pm right now, that's getting late.  They don't seem to have a problem leaving people's lives - on hold.

I have been watching the democrat infighting and some of it is disgusting. People stalking Senator Sinema into a bathroom, protesting her stance on the reconciliation bill while she's using the toilet?  Kayakers going to Manchins house boat to protest his stance on the reconciliation bill as well?  There is no low for these people. Bloodlust for raw power, the biggest power grab we've probably ever seen in this nation's history.  I was aghast when I read yesterday that Sanders originally wanting six trillion dollars, and thinks 3.5 trillion is lowballing it. 

Or Biden declaring this bill costs zero dollars! Pelosi reaffirming that position.  And then you find out the stuff that is IN that bill and it's scary, to say the least.  Forget the money, they are attempting to reshape the culture and the belief systems of this nation.  It is utterly amazing, they have just caved to the far left progressive-Communist ideology, these people that are espousing this stuff are a small minority, yet you'd think they are literally running the party. And the hate and disdain they are expressing to the 2 aforementioned hold outs that refuse to kow tow to party lines.

The only thing I can do is send letters to representatives and senators, pray and hope for the best. Short of a civil war, I don't see these progressives being stopped. Eventually they will get their way, if not now, it will happen down the road.  Even more astonishing, at least to me, is these people think that most Americans are for this nonsense.  I sincerely doubt that.  I am quite certain most if not all Republicans and conservatives will never agree to anything with a price tag that high or having the government intruding into your personal business to such a degree.

Reporting to the IRS any transactions over $600 in your banking account?  You really think that average Americans, especially the middle class, aren't going to be on the receiving end of high taxation?  A mileage tax to drive your car?  And far more garbage buried inside that bill, it would be a huge stepping stone to out and out Socialism.

Whatever.  The dude that is supposed to install the water tap on the main line hasn't shown up nor has he called me.  I know 2 inch material for the project is readily available at any water works store.  It's common usage and they all keep it in stock.  The tap, the saddle,  the ball valve, the meter, everything should be easy to get.  So why this guy is neither doing the job nor calling me about it is unknown.  I will let a few more days pass and if he still doesn't show up, I will call him.  

Not in any great hurry to get it done, but now that the wheels are rolling, let's get it over with.  I do wonder if the city raised any kinds of alarms over my wanting a 2 inch installation.  

I'm not going to start making phone calls on the SBA information until after the Bobcat is gone. That thing is taking up my energies and I just don't have it in me to work with that thing all day and make phone calls.  I need to get estimates, I have contacted by email two companies who have not responded.  

Ugh. I completely forgot about getting a warranty deed paper notarized.  

Well, I'm invited to go to the fall festival at the 6 year old's school.  I'm planning on going, might as well see what they have to see and perhaps meet some of the teachers.  He's not my boy, of course, but he certainly has his attachments to me lol.  

With that, i think I'll take a short nap, then get the roast in the oven and then get ready to go. 

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...
