The closer I get to an opening day, the more information I learn that I definitely didn't know before.

For example. I just got off the phone with Campworks, which is another campground online management software system.  The man gave it to me straight: the fee all of these software application companies charge is only for the use of their system, it does not include the cost of the card processing company - which is a separate company from the campground software company - per use! So, I can look forward to a buck and change more per customer on top of the fee the software company is charging.

This stuff really is getting to me.  Waaah! lol.  I'm working through it, that's all I can say.  

So, anyway, I got that done, sold a chainsaw I bought for $50 at Walmart for $110, off to haircut, sign company has my new signs completed, over there, then over to the bank.

Lots of things slip my mind, there's a lot to starting up a venture like this. But one thing I absolutely need is a bank account in the name of the business.  So I want to discuss with a bank official what it will take to open up an account, monthly fees, etc etc etc.  

That is going to eat up a lot of my day after everything I've already done, but still hoping to get at least a few hours of work in at the property.  

The sky is overcast, not favorable conditions for drying out the dirt.  I really have this need to get that gravel in, get those funds out of the bank account and move on with this.  

The only thing I can predict at 99% sure right now is that I won't be going back to work until the beginning of the New Year.  It is pointless to start a job this close to the holidays, I will get no time off for anything being a new driver and I will "suffer" the holidays on the road somewhere.

NO THANK YOU.  

I'm also trying to determine when to go back for a visit to AZ.  I think it will be put off to December instead of the November date I was looking at. This because of this business proposition and all that needs to be done.  I need to be here for all of this.

Insurance company still hasn't called back, but they assure me they will once they get a quote.

Bank account - Had to make an appointment even tho the place was deserted. Literally, there were no cars in the parking lot nor were there any customers. Oh well, trying to get that set up tomorrow afternoon. 

After that, I can get the credit card processing application completed, they have to have a banking account to dump money into and I don't want it in my personal account, the business needs to be separate for accounting and tax purposes.  

My signs were plain-Jane but they will serve as intended for now.  Not doing that today, I haven't even been out to the property yet, been running around getting things done including an appointment tomorrow morning to find out what that awful sounding clunking is. I've gotten under that vehicle numerous times now and can't see anything that is broken under there.  Whatever it is, it needs to be fixed. 

With that?  I am done with "business" stuff for the day. It gets overwhelming and I have to take a break from that stuff, which means going over to the property and get some physical side of the equation stuff done. 

The skies cleared up and the drying process can begin, plus it's fairly warm!  Maybe we'll get gravel this week after all!

G'day
