Saturday. 

The group was over last night for one of the member's birthday.  These people are pretty cool folks, fun to hang around, it was a blast last night really.  I have a bit - different - personality - it took them a while to adjust to me, my friends I live with, the house, the giant dog, etc etc etc.  I was reading some definitions out of the Urban Dictionary last night concerning a phrase that one person had never heard of - and honestly, I hadn't either. The whole group was belly laughing, as I said, we had good times last night.  

A nice reprieve from everything I have been dealing with, with this RV park.  

The kid let the chains get way too loose on 2 saws yesterday and so yes, the saws threw the chains off the bars.  I don't know how many times I have to tell a 25 year old the same thing before I get disgusted and say no more, no thank you.  I'm not ready to burn bridges just yet, but his days of operating my saws are over.  It doesn't ruin the saw or the chain, it's just a hassle to take everything apart, get the chain back on the gear correctly and then feed it around the bar, and then tighten the chain.

And I've found that once I tighten the chain after it throws it? You just pull the gas trigger, get the chain around a couple of times and then, the chain is dangling off of the bar and you have to tighten it down again. After that, however, it lasts quite  a while before the chain needs adjusted again. I just get tired of repeating myself and I'm done with it.  I have other work he can do maybe in a few days or a week or so in helping cleaning up the lots, using a metal tine rake and smoothing the dirt ridges out.

I also find that I have to constantly monitor him or he'll get on that damned cell phone and then expect me to pay him to text his girlfriend - or whoever he is texting.  It's ridiculous.  I had to leave yesterday, I noted where he was at.  He got the rest of the pile gone, yes, but that would have only been 20 minutes worth of work. There was nothing else done on the side with all the brush - tho most of the brush is gone.  There is a 15 - 20 foot section left at the end and I will do that myself, including cutting down a large tree which is hanging over the driveway.

Much too low, it just needs to go.  I am also going to take down the gate. They don't close it anymore. They used to have it locked but now?  No one uses the gate at all.  It stays open 24 hours a day. I didn't tell them they couldn't lock it, so I'm glad they decided they don't need to use it now. Probably because they surrounded their tanks and well head with gates a while back.  They can have their gate, it will be deposited next to their operation in the rear.  The posts will be trashed. Wood posts, they will have to be cut down, I'm not going to waste my time trying to dig them out.  

If they want compensation for those posts, I will say fine, here is the bill for all the work done on the driveway that YOU are supposed to be maintaining.  I may send them that bill anyway.  

I texted the contractor today asking when they are going to come and finish with installing the power line from the poll to the meter array.  No reply, lol.  That is the contractor's foreman, actually, I contacted the contractor about gravel and got a "thank you" back when I said I would be needing him to come soon, probably in the next two weeks and spread the gravel.  Thank you in his world? Mean he's going to order the gravel, have it delivered and show up and spread it. 

That's my take anyway after having had dealt with this dude all of this year and part of last. 

Anyway, I need the gravel done sooner than later. I need to get grass growing and tho rye grass doesn't take terribly long to grow, it's at least several weeks before you have much of anything.  

Now the major drawback. It's going to rain next week and from the looks of it, heavily.  They can't spread gravel on muddy driveways and pads.  The upside is if it rains as much as it appears it is, I will be able to determine where the water is flooding over the pads and the driveway and fix it.  Oh well. If it rains Monday and Tuesday and other days next week, it will just shut me in the house and I will do more work attempting to iron out all of these different facets of running a company that are behind the scenes. I can make an appointment with the accountant as well.
