The older I get, the less I am liking these late night drives where you're up until the wee hours of the morning attempting to get the trip over with, get the product to the customer and get home.  It was a very long day yesterday and I don't find any enjoyment fighting to stay awake, listening to music, blasting cold air, etc, in the attempts to stay awake.  

I can't even start driving until around 11:30 am today, which means another late day, at least until around 11:00 - 12 midnight.  

My manager was telling me the dispatch manager is as cold as ice after I asked him if that's the way she normally is?  Yup, there is no chit chat and she is all about business and literally nothing else.  I didn't really get that she was that way from the texts and phone calls I've had with her.  Those interactions are short and obviously don't give a real feel of how a person actually is socially.

Whatever the case, he was asking what kind of business I'm starting, of which I told him.  Starting out small, that's what I have the money for. He went right off into SBA loans.  Yes, I replied, I have the mountain of paperwork at home. I just got through - or it feels like I just got through with anyway - doing 2 separate loans and looking at all the info they want for the SBA loan, I decided to take a break from that.  I do believe I will eventually try to get an SBA loan, but I want to get the business going first and see what happens.  I'd also like to see if the property next door - just filled with trees, nothing on it - might be possible to buy. The owner has had it a long time and is doing nothing with it.  

Anyway, it's supposed to rain today and tomorrow - I have my doubts about making this a 3 day trip, but I'm sure going to try.  

Small plots of land next to my property, one is an acre the other is .75 acres and the third is 3.5 acres, all owned by the same person, all undeveloped.

I'm going to write this person - found his address on the tax rolls - and see if he's interested in selling any of them.

Meanwhile? It's time to get ready to drive.

G'day.
