 So tomorrow we get more rain, lol.  

We had a bunch of tornadoes hit this region a few nights ago - thankfully, we did not get any such treatment.  Lots of lightning and then heavy rain, but no tornadoes.  With the very large and tall trees around our house, a tornado isn't exactly a welcomed guest.  

I hate to think what happened to that grass seed I put down the other day in the doggy park, if it rained too heavily, it would have washed the seed down to the bottom.  

Oh well. I will put some more out today, it appears the rainfall tomorrow is going to be light.  

Oh, it's Sunday.  We went to a gun show yesterday and I got some target rounds for the AR. Yes, the good ole' AR that has never been fired.  I want to take it to the property. There is a berm that is about 10 feet tall in the back, an ideal location to fire off some high velocity rounds without endangering any lives.  

I was asking James if he wanted to go to day, I didn't really get a reply He bought a new gun after trading in the old one.  Switched from a .40 to a 9mm. I have both.  I didn't need any guns tho a hunting rifle I was looking at was quite tempting.  Yeah, I'm building an RV, I have plenty of guns, I dumped that thought out of my mind quickly.  Needless expenditures have gone by the wayside.  

I did opt to go to a restaurant in that town, tho, so maybe I didn't quite get rid of all of the needless expenditures, but we have been doing quite well staying away from restaurants and blowing money.  The restaurant was fun, the food was delicious, I'm not going to sweat it. 

So today? Well yes, I do intend on dumping some seed over there, it won't take maybe 10 minutes.  The kids want to go for a walk over there and the doggy is always a willing participant.  So, we will do that.  And then? I intend on delving into Quick Books. I've been putting it off all week long, it's time to dive into it.  There is nothing going on today to distract me and the tree cutting stuff can wait until tomorrow.  Yes, I am feeling better, not 100% but enough to get at least 4 or 5 hours of work done - tomorrow.

The business end of the project needs to be dealt with and soon, hence I need to get working on this stuff.  

I also want to get those fire rings while they are still available.  The picnic tables can wait, the price went up to $165 each and I just don't see it. They are in boxes that are sitting outside, piled up on top of each other, getting rained on continuously and since they aren't put together, I predict some bowing going on with them getting water logged.  You really need to screw those things together versus letting them sit outside forever.  I may ask the store manager for a discount, it's worth a try, but right now, I don't want to get involved with that. 

But, fire is an important part of the camping adventure, even if in an RV. Maybe not everyone will use them, but they are going to be there.  I won't get them today, I have today planned.  But this week I want to clean them out of what they have. There were like 10 of them out there. 

And yes, I will have a sloped tent campground in the rear.  It's in a nice, wooded area with natural grass growing there.  I will have a picnic table there, I suppose and a fire ring.  But the RV lots won't be starting out with picnic tables.  Unless I can find them cheaper somewhere else.  They were $135 months ago......

I wouldn't mind putting in an outhouse for the tent camping site - but - that means renting that trackhoe again at almost $400 per day.  No, I am not going to dig a hole that deep by hand, thank you. Perhaps I'm better served putting a port-a-jon out there temporarily to see if it's even worth digging out an outhouse. That would necessarily mean that I need to get 2 campsites up and going.  Whether they would be used? I have no idea.  Minimal investment to find out.  A small plot of land, a fire ring, a picnic table. 

It's already advertised on the Facebook page and on the google my-business page.  I don't know where to put the second site, tho, without having to drive back in the woods.  Maybe just make it one of the sites back in the woods and add a disclaimer: The nearest parking site is 700 feet away from the tent camping site.  There.  They know what they're up for before they arrive.  Make a wagon or something on 4 wheels available to haul their equipment.
