It dawned on me today - not that I haven't been using some credit card debt for this stuff - that I could pay a portion of the gravel with a credit card and reserve the cash instead of spending everything and having little left.  I already have a loan procured that goes directly towards paying down credit card debt.  I haven't signed on the dotted line yet, but I think if I just went ahead and paid for the gravel with 5 to 10 k worth of credit cards and then immediately pay it right back down, that is better than other options.  

That leaves me 5 to 10k worth of cash in my banking account, which keeps me off the road longer and affords me the ability to "be there", present, at the park, when I finally open the place.  

The meters are going to be installed today, or so I am told.  Unlike having power poles installed, they don't have a huge waiting list for meters and thus, they can come out next-day to do it.

There was a bit of hassle involved with it, tho.  There isn't much of anything I have done out there that hasn't involved a little - or a great deal - of hassle that was unforeseen and unknown.  They came out already, turns out, and didn't know "which one I wanted turned on".  This is because there is a power pole they installed a year ago with it's own box and then they just installed this setup with 2 meters (another thing I didn't know they were doing, if I had, I would have told them one meter, one much larger circuit breaker to handle it, thank you).  

So, it was a bit difficult to make them understand that there is a pedestal right next to the power pole with a meter pedestal that needs 2 meters installed. I think I got it across, but then they wanted each meter labeled with something the differentiates it for billing.  Meaning I'm going to get 2 separate bills. Which would be all well and fine - but - I think they are also going to charge me 2 separate "service fees" that charge you simply for the fact of having the meter, not the amount of power you have used. 

If that is the case, this setup is going to be changed.  I'm not paying double for the same thing.  It doesn't make any sense and unless the electrician can articulate how it's somehow better, I will be finding someone to switch it out.  Eliminate one meter and double the size of the circuit breaker in the other.  This is standard in the industry, I have been reading about this for probably 2 years now.  One large circuit breaker takes care of everything.  There may be some reason I don't understand that they did this, I won't bother asking if it's one service fee.  

Well anyway, I labeled the meters and I also had to put a temporary sign up out front with the park address on it.  The street number, that is. They wouldn't do the install without being sure of the address. I get it.  While I was there, I also put down a lot more seed on the doggy park and the area next to it.  It's supposed to rain tonight - actually there are potential tornadoes being warned out.  I dunno. I just did that area since I don't know if a massive downpour is coming - thusly washing all the seed downhill or if major winds are coming and blowing the seed everywhere but where I want it.  

I had 2 street signs made a while back when I had the "RV PARK" with an arrow made up.  So, I decided to install one at the highway intersection.  It was interesting to watch a late model SUV pull up, then drive off, then stop down the road, put on their reverse lights, then go forward and then pull into what presumably is their driveway.

Their window tint was so dark I couldn't see anyone inside of the vehicle, whether they were waving or frowning, I have no idea.  If they want to discuss this with me, feel free!  The sign is in and that is that. If the sign disappears, I know at least the first lead to track down the perpetrator to. 

I have a meeting with Premier Campground on Monday morning and after that, I will decide which one to use. It's either Premier or Campspot.  More money to start an account.  Yup, getting eaten alive with all of this stuff I didn't have any knowledge of when I started this project and inflation, which the left is still denying even exists or attempting to say that Republicans are inflating it to divert attention off of the "real issues" - which are wokeness, social justice, diversity, equity and whatever the other one is.

Americans are concerned about the rising cost of everything and the economy.  When it comes to where the rubber meets the road, wokeness will go by the wayside. I won't predict a red wave, I will just say I am hopeful that the majorities in Congress will switch tables.  Democrats including the President are sinking themselves quite nicely without any conservative intervention.  They think that elevating wokeness is going to win the battle. I think they are quite wrong. We will find out in 3 days. Well, probably 4 after the votes are tallied.  

My hope is that Congress - and especially the House - is controlled by Republicans and the White House by Democrats.  Nothing will get done.  Pass budget bills, don't pass anything else.  How many more laws do we need?  There are plenty already on the books that aren't being enforced as it is.  Defund the police and liberal DA's have proven to be very unpopular, even in liberal-run states.  

That is enough for one entry.  I am contemplating doing the no-shave-November challenge.  I haven't shaved since the 31st.  I have never grown a beard, I tried once but it came in spotty and all different colors so I shaved it off long before it was fully grown.  Decades later, hair is growing in abundance, much more than my early days, so I'm just looking to see if it's going to be a full beard or spotty again  I can't tell yet, I just look like I don't do hygiene atm, lol. 

G'day.
