By far the worst I've ever seen this yard.  Brownsville, Texas drop yard that is. It has been raining so much down here that the yard is nothing but a giant mud pit.  There are barricades up in the back portion where you have to go to turn around, it's that bad.  Many of the parking spots back there are just feet deep worth of mud, nothing you would want to back a semi trailer into and get that mud all caked up in and around everything under the tandems.  

It was definitely the first time I had ever seen barricades in the middle of the yard, unbelievable. These people need to fix this permanently by paving the entire yard.  They already tried putting gravel down, it worked for a while - but now this. It was dark or I would have taken some pics of that nonsense, maybe tomorrow morning when I have to go back over there to wait.  

Very unwanted situation also hit me when I entered the yard and there were no empties there> I say there because that yard is so horrible I came up to the truck stop to spend the night.  I wanted an empty there this time so I could hook to it and be out of there first thing in the morning after required 10 hour break. Yes I like detention pay money but sometimes going home is better.  

I want to see if they actually started today and see how much they got done.  I would have gotten back to the yard by around 3:30 pm and hoofed it over to the property by 4:10 and see what they have gotten done.  I don't suspect it's going to take them too long to clear that stuff out of there with that giant machine and if they have an experienced operator at the helm.  

And I'd like to get those lots officially marked out for them to start the project of installing the utilities including the septic system.  Well, the septic system is subject to the State of Texas whims and run through the county fire department.  That probably doesn't happen overnight, they have to get permit to do anything and undoubtedly the fire marshall or someone from that department has to come out and inspect the proposed location of the vaults.  

Well, it's getting late. I was looking at resort style hotels in San Antonio. We still want to vacation at the River Walk.  Just that James work was screwing with him and playing games with his hours and they thought he'd have to find another job.  The hours are apparently back on track tho I have no idea how long that is going to last, I had put off vacation until they figured out his job situation. If he was going to change jobs, he wouldn't be able to get off.  As it stands, he has 4 day work week so we are planning a 3 night stay.

Just trying to find a very nice hotel that has a nice indoor pool that is also close to the River Walk that also has one room with a separate bedroom and a sofa bed. No sense in paying for 2 rooms if we don't have to.  I don't know, but I think I found a hotel that has all of that, I need to call the hotel and make sure what I'm seeing is actually what is reality. 

Yawn, tired, g'nite.
