Well why not?

I was thinking about my FOMS disease and wondering how I could just bypass new ways to increase your money.  FOMS = Foolish Old Man's Syndrome.  I wrote off Bitcoin when it first came out - and you could buy virtually unlimited amounts of it for next to nothing.  Even a hundred dollars worth back then would have me a millionaire now.  Oh, I made up FOMS, it's not an actual disease lmao. 

But I figure what the heck, I might as well pick one of them that is allegedly "up and coming" and see what happens.  What's a few hundred dollars?  I used to gamble that much away at the black jack tables.  Sometimes I'd win, sometimes I'd lose.  Yea I don't gamble anymore, well maybe once a year or something just for the fun of it. I also don't smoke cigars anymore, quit that stuff 3 months ago.  Not New Year's stuff, just life decisions. 

Anyway, I am going to throw a few hundred dollars on a couple of newer crypto currencies and see what happens.  

I'm sitting in Brownsville, btw, waiting on an empty trailer.  Another cash haul sitting here doing nothing, getting paid to wait. They claimed at noon a couple of trailers would come over - but - it's Sunday and who knows what will really happen. Empties could come in at any time, early or late, or not come in at all.  I'm the only driver down here waiting, they brought 4 empties up yesterday and sent everyone else home.  I know this because I saw all 4 of them coming up the opposite direction while driving down here yesterday.  

As typical for a Sunday, it's past 9: 00 am and there is literally nothing going on in this yard.  I'll gladly go home today, tho, tomorrow is Monday. I don't think the contractor is going to start clearing the land, but if he shows up I want to be there. I need to finish up there anyway.  Yes, I know I keep saying that and I keep going out there, measuring and marking away.  I'm not even saving that many trees, but the measurements have to be pretty close to correct for those trees to be able to stay up. I guess we'll see in the end.

But, I am getting fairly excited that this project is about to move on from just water taps and electrical connections.  To that end I'm calling that contractor tomorrow morning and asking where we're at.  I want to get this thing moving.  The house cash-out is almost completed, at least according to that company, tho I have plenty of money as it stands to start and finish all of the land clearing and utility installation.  And with some money recently acquired, I also have the cash to install the gravel driveways and pads.  All of that is a huge chunk of the construction that needs to be done.  After that I'll have 85 grand to do the office - around 10k, a bath house - unknown but I'm guessing at least 20k, install wifi, etc etc etc, things I have talked about endlessly on here.  

I'm thinking about getting a quote on asphalt driveways.  Not pads, that would cost too much but I'm curious how much it would cost for driveways to be asphalt. I don't want asphalt pads tho concrete pads might be interesting.  As long as there is grass in the "living area" the concrete doesn't look so wretched.  It's the RV parks that have nothing but concrete, no trees and no grass that look horrible, at least to me.  I mean, why don't those operations at least plant some trees or shrubs after all is said and done?  There is virtually no eye appeal to those places, at least in my estimation, at all. 

I'm also still considering some kind of fencing between lots.  Just considering it, lol, I don't want chain link, that would look gaudy but wood is so expensive right now.  

Well enough. I just spoke with the owner's son, the bridge doesn't open up until 11:00 am on Sundays, hence the longer wait for empties to come over.  But, he said he didn't know if there were any empties in their yard across the border or not. So who knows.

G'day
