8 nights from now, we'll be headed to San Antonio for a nice little mini-vacation.  No kids, no trucks and I'm not driving.  Should be fun.  

Tomorrow, I'll be home from this Oklahoma trip and wil be going over to the property again to check to see if they are doing anything.  I suspect they won't be, they were waiting for it to rain to lift the burn ban.  Well, it's raining where I'm at and it's definitely going to be raining in my town, if not already.  

Yes, it would be rather difficult to do the dirt work with those giant piles of trees sitting all over the place.  That stuff has to go.  It would be at least 15 truck loads if not many more to haul it off, I ain't paying for that. Mother Nature and fire can get rid of it and that's that.  I suppose the wood will be too wet to burn tomorrow.  They aren't asking me to do it, they will do it, I just want to lol. I like fire and big bon fires are fine. GIANT bon fires even more fun. SEVERAL giant bon fires and the entire community is going to be calling the fire department. Hence the reason you call them first and tell them what you're doing, so that when the calls come pouring in, they can simply tell them it's a controlled burn.

I don't always carry my firearm out of the vehicle with me when I'm over there, but from now on? Oh yes.  That next door neighbor dog came running over to my property yesterday morning, growling, hissing, barking, snarling it's teeth at me, very aggressive stance.  I was lucky my dogs were in the vehicle, foregone conclusion that the dog would have attacked my dogs. I'm not actually that much concerned about Addler - he can take care of himself - easily. He's much larger than that dog, he is very agile and he has muscles protruding on his legs, but, chest, everything.  He has had his share of run ins with other dogs.  

But I don't want to go there.  I would rather the owners deal with their dog and if they don't and if it does attack me or my dogs, I'm going to shoot the thing and be done with it.  That may sound cold, but you weren't standing out there yesterday, unexpectedly having an encounter with this beast.  He's not a small dog, he also has rippling muscles all over his body, tho I'm still confident Addler could defend himself and Aspyn is a scrapper, she would be all over that thing as well. She might have some serious flaws, but not protecting the pack isn't one of them.  

So, I guess I'm going to have to contact the county about taking the giant, dead, rotting tree down.  Supposedly it's on the county easement and if that's true, then yes, they need to come deal with it before it falls over the street and potentially hurts or kills someone.  

I've heard nothing about the LLC, I have no idea how long Texas takes to issue that stuff. I'd like to get it done with so I can go open a bank account in it's name and transfer most of the money over to that account.  

I must be having delusions of grandeur.  I keep thinking about the expansions I would like to do with the place over time - and I am nowhere near even opening the place yet.  Some rental cabins, glamping tents, all kinds of things. Turn the entire property into a money making venue, not just the front 7-1/2 acres.  

But right now? I want the surveyor out there to definitively paint a line up the side of that house next door as to where the property line is and then I want to get a person in there to put up a barbed wire fence.  That guy tears up the front of the driveway every time he backs that truck into it.  Their property is a mess.  The house is old and needs a lot of work, the garage looks like it's about to cave in.  But the dog yesterday crossed my line.  

I'd do a better fence but barbed wire is cheap and it sets the boundary, which is all I want to do for now.  From the street all the way back to where the trees start - and the barbed wire fence starts for the property behind that house. There are several properties on that side that border mine, but they appear to all be owned by the same person. Said person lives in a ritzy neighborhood south of For Worth.  He has done nothing with the 2 properties that abut mine and it would be interesting to see if, some day, he'd be interested in selling them. He has no interest in using them and that house - he doesn't maintain at all.  

Anyway, that truck being parked there is starting to bother me.  It's an eyesore. He parks it right at the driveway entrance or close to it, right where campers would be pulling in.  This is junk that people don't necessarily want to see coming off the road to park for the night or several days.  Or however long, really.  

I was reading a post by a man on one of the RV park owner sites who said that "rv campgrounds are not retirement plans! You'll have to work hard and harder than any job you've ever had to do!".  Ohh? I don't know what kind of jobs he has had, but trucking can eat up to 16 hours in any given day.  I was at 12-1/2 today.  Yeah, no fam, that campground would be a piece of cake compared to the ridiculous nonsense I have to put up with now. 

He then went off on to how you aren't going to get rich!  Yea, I don't plan on getting rich off of one park, I plan on paying my bills and being able to save money and have a decent lifestyle, pretty much like I have now but without the trucking junk involved with it.  I can see how you could get rich if you started buying up parks or building more.  I really do want to build a parking lot place for overnighters.  Very few amenities, just a place along the Interstate.  But I'd also like to do something like that for truck parking.  No amenities besides maybe some port-a-jons, just pay your fee and stay up to 24 hours.  

I can see it's going to take months to get this contractor's part of it done over with.  I expected that. Just a slower pace than I'd like to get this stuff done with and I'd like to get the money spent and out of my account.  

Whatever the case, I'm getting sleepy. Time for bed.  2 hours to the yard tomorrow morning and then back home.  And from what I saw on the group text today, we've slowed down again.  Okay, it's more like they have again acquired more drivers than they need.  So it may be that there is a day off between runs again.  I dunno, but I have chest congestion sinking into my lungs and not feeling all that great. I'll be happy to get this run over with and get home tomorrow.
