 A dog barking - I think it was their dog barking at someone at the front door - woke me up out of a deep sleep this morning.  I tried to get back to sleep for an hour and a half to no avail.  I finally just got up, got the dog and went over to the property.  My trucking life.  I often times don't know which day of the week it is. I know the date, yes, but the day? Not always.

So, I thought today is Wednesday, which it obviously is not.  The septic install is Wednesday, which is tomorrow lol.  

It's fine.  I fired up the ATV, drove it with the trailer down the steep hill, loaded all that stuff back up on it and tried to get the trailer to the back.  I made it around 5 turns, I think, until I got to 2 tall trees.  I figured when we were out there the other day I wouldn't be able to make it between them and I figured right.  

I just parked the ATV there and will come back to it the next day off.  It's just not prudent to start getting into all kinds of heavy labor and then have to go to work.  AS it stands, I may try to go back to sleep for a while now that I am a bit worn out from loading all that stuff and walking around the property.  Or not, who knows. I do believe I'm not going to wait until noon to eat, I am going to be out far too late and just need some energy. That is in reference to the intermittent fasting I have been doing to try and lose some weight.  

Besides the work I need to get done that I can do myself - or with help if I can find any, people really do not want to work even for good money right now - I am sort of in limbo. The sign, the power, the water, the septic, fresh gravel on the main driveway are all waiting on other parties to do what they're going to do.  

Still need to discuss everything with a lawyer and an accountant and get the accountant to set up software for me or give me the software to set up to have proper taxes taken out upon any fees I may take in - or sales for that matter, firewood being the only real thing that I can see I will have to be able to charge an on-file credit card for.  Also need to get the interior of the shed done, but that's going to be put on hold for now until I get everything else done and see what kind of funds I have left over.  

The point is that there is still quite a lot of stuff left to do.  But, it's only August.  The first day of fall is September 22, pretty much guaranteed I won't be in any position to open up the park by then unless I'm just going to do RV parking only and nothing else to start with.  I might do that with reduced rates, just try to start getting some finances coming in from this venture.  

I'm not real in love with the fact that a couple of giant piles of ash were left after the tree burning that I apparently am going to have to deal with. They could have hauled that stuff to that giant hole they dug and buried it there along with everything else.  

Anyway, that's it for today and probably the next couple of days since I'll be on the road and likely not going to make it back until Thursday, depending on if I can drive straight through today or if I'm going to have to call it quits and just get there tomorrow morning, Brownsville that is.

Have a great day!
