 Par for the course.

The forecast was for rain at 7:00 am, then 8:45 am, then 9:00 am and now? 

I have plenty to do out there, I just don't want a repeat of yesterday, where it started, stopped, started, stopped - until I was sufficiently wet.  

Whatever the case, I have had the statement that it is open for long term rentals installed on the front page of the website.  

Of course, this is a terrible time of year to be seeking people that want to move in semi-permanently, so I'm not going to be terribly shocked if none or not too many people inquire.

There was one yesterday - he was interested until he heard the monthly rate. I almost laughed at his response, but I guess that's not terribly professional, so I just said ok, bye, have a nice day!  I don't know what he thought was a good rate, but the cheaper ones in this area are trashy. 

I will have competition from that new startup whenever they get that going.  I don't think it's been sold yet.  

There.  I just blocked out the dates until the beginning of next month.  Asked the web designer to go ahead and install the link. that will make the website software "live" and people able to book dates for anytime after January up until - well January 2024 I do believe.  

This will set a fire under my feet to get everything else done.  Not that there isn't one lit there already - well there won't be any fires if no one makes any reservations.  I really have no clue.  

If there isn't any demand, it will signal the "time to go back to work" and find a trucking job.  Which I intended to do anyway, but it'd be nice to get some revenues in from all of this stuff.  My Google site is shut down to seeing any analytics, visitors, etc until that postcard comes and I get the code input into their system. 

Before that happened, it was over 5,000 views in the last 30 days.  

LMAO. NOW it says "Rain expected around 11:00 am".  Make up your d*** minds already!  What the Hercules Hondon! 

You know what I can do instead, since I am left clueless about rain or no rain? Find a good, used riding mower.  I've seen them going for anywhere from $250 on up.  This will be a better idea than just sitting around here wondering if I should go out there or not. YES I should go out there, to check the mailbox, check the property and make sure nothing has been tampered with.  I do that pretty much every single day.  I'm fortunate it's only 4 miles away!  

Oh, and I have a high quality video camera coming for Christmas!  Thanks mom!  I take a ton of videos, a lot of them turn out pretty poor because Iphone videos aren't that great. I was hoping I would get a better camera and video system with the Iphone 13, I was wrong, hope misplaced.  

This thing I'm getting works on either wifi or cable connection to upload to computer or purportedly direction to facebook - not sure how that works.  

Actually, I'm hoping I can just do live videos on the thing via facebook - but I have no clue really. It's probably more of an "upload to facebook" and anywhere else I want it to show type of thing.  It's probably more work - but - it will be much video quality.  I will be able to use it to do a tour of the walking trails and upload it to the website.  

I need to get some help out there.  I just don't want to today because I feel like it might be a waste of time.  Alright, I have something to do now that I have decided to wait to see if it's going to rain.  Off to Facebook Marketplace!

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
