 I knew I was forgetting something, I just couldn't remember what it was.

The lone tenants there let me know this morning.  Really nice people btw, not hostile, argumentative - they said they really like it there and put the word out whenever they can to whoever might be in need of such facilities.  

Anyway, she said: Just a suggestion, but it might be helpful if you put in solar lights.

Yes! How could I have forgotten that?  There is literally no lighting in there at all at night.  I only want the low rise solar lights that you just push into the ground, regular street lighting is shunned by most RV'ers not wanting bright lights coming into their units at night.  She said a pickup truck came through late last night drove slowly through the park and then left.  I asked her if they are armed? Yes, she nodded. Oh that's fine, I have no problem with that.  

Anyway, my leg is hurting too bad to get much of anything done. I finished installing the doggy park trash bags, the kind you put your hand into, pick up the poop, pull your hand out and that's that.  And I cut the pipes down that are holding the gate and latch. And for now, I put in a much sturdier sign hold for the little sign at the highway. 

The other holder/stand would just bend over in the wind.  This one will not - it might lean a little bit but it won't bend over so far that you can't even see the sign.  I have been saying I'm going to install the big one a few times - and it just never happens.  Well I'm definitely not going to pound a post hole shovel in with this knee. Nor am I getting on my hands and knees to dig out the trench. I wanted to, that was my plan for today until the accident last night.

Fortunately,  just sitting here I feel no pain at all. That's an excellent sign that this isn't too serious and given enough time, it will heal on its own.  

Well good. A pack of 6 solar lights is only $30 range.  Get 12 of them, be done with it.  Fancier ones can be purchased in the future. 

Well, I guess it makes sense, changing the subject yet again. Roverpass hasn't been sending me any customers because they hadn't made my site go live yet.  I fixed this today after going there wondering about this and if I could upload more pics.  Turns out there wasn't any place for payments to be sent to - in other words, after a customer pays Roverpass, Roverpass pays me.  That's all taken care of and instantly I got an "you are now online with Roverpass!"  email.  

I did find it a bit odd that they didn't tell me this before I had to go digging in their site to find this out.  One would assume they want as much business as possible - they are taking a chunk of every reservation. I'm trying to get business in there and get the word out - I'll take the loss for the gain. I would like to hope someday I won't need Roverpass - or that I can simply raise the prices to make up for the loss of their 15% take.  My rates are so low right now as it stands.  Nope, there won't be any other discounts given, even if asked.  There's just no reason to give more discount on already highly discounted rates.

Well, maybe in the coming days I will get some business from them.  I'd like to get a call right about now from whoever: we're coming through, need a place to stay! Ok, come on over!

No new business. No reservations, no emails and no phone calls.  I dunno what to say - nothing I guess.  It will happen when it happens.
