Sometimes I write an entry, click the button to post it and then get off of here. I come back the next day or later on or whenever and there it is, still sitting as a draft?  Many of those never get posted.  

This weather is starting to remind me of Seattle, when I was up there 3 months and it rained every single day.  Not most days, not many days, every day.  We're on day 5 of rain and there is no letup in sight, at least for today.  Tomorrow the forecast is bright and sunny. Can't wait for that!   Ill be planning today what I"m going to do tomorrow since much of the last 4 days have been a bust.  I'm hopeful those new tenants stuck in Dallas-Forth Worth area haven't had time to change their mind.  That happens you know.

I wouldn't be pulling a super-large 5th wheel trailer if I were them through that mess, either.  Well, I wouldn't want to anyway.  My trucking experience I would probably just do it anyway unless the roads were so treacherous it would be stupid to keep driving.  Yes, I've been stupid before, freely admit it. Drivng through blizzards, tornadoes, sleet, hail, flooding, I'm a little wiser in my older age but I've done some pretty dumb stuff out there.  All in the name of the dollar bill.  Which makes it even dumber to do.  

Personal wealth and the daily rat race are becoming less and less important to me.  If I could get around 30 more lots in there and fill them up, I wouldn't have to "work" ever again.  I love working out there at the property. It IS work, but it's something I mostly enjoy. Not everything, of course, but most of it is therapeutic even.  

Once I got into it a bit, I didn't even mind starting to pull all of those weeds. And there are plenty more to go, lol.  I dunno, but sitting at home I'm starting to get restless. Yes, I have plenty I can do here, but I have to have some outlet, get moving, get the heart pumping, feel alive.  Of course, I could go stand out in the rain in a muddy field and pull more weeds.  They would slide right out of the ground right now.  I probably will do some of that tomorrow just to take advantage of it while it's still quite wet out there.  

I'm now stuck at 11 pounds down, Keto diet that is, but the fat is coming off.  It's becoming noticeable now. The love handles have shrunk considerably.  The belly is shrinking and the waist is definitely smaller - a bit. It almost makes me not want to cheat for my birthday on Sunday.  But they mentioned cake and it would be rude to have a birthday cake put in front of you and not eat any of it.  It'll just be a day of high carbs and then the next day? I'll fast at least 24 hours.  When I say fast, I mean water only.  It's the quickest way to get back to ketosis.  

I think I'm going to go to the property in a bit and just sit and dream.  I did that yesterday, it was raining and I just sat there.  There are 6 trailers there but when I was there yesterday? No one was home.  All out working excepting the retired couple, don't know where they went.  None of my business, either. They are friendly people and will socialize here and there, but for the most part, they like to keep to themselves with the noteable exception of having family and friends over here and there.  Oh,they have the rent for me, but I'm not collecting it until tomorrow probably. I'm not going to get wet getting money, it can wait another day.  

I've just about given up trying to find another internet solution. 7 plug grand for Fidelity or wait for starlink (and hope it works as well as people say it does).  From my calculations, I'm 3 days away from running out of my data allotment for the Verizon internet setup and then there will be 6 days of extra charges on there.  It will bring the total bill for 30 days to around $240.  There are 5 out of 6 people using it so far.  

There are plenty of satellite options out there.  Endless advertisements for them.  But their speeds are questionable.  T Mobile apparently has internet access out there and if I could get the 5g signal, they would give me an awesome deal. But since 5g isn't available out there - yet - they want to put me on a limited profile. Meaning, the same thing I have with Verizon right now.  Limited data and then overage charges.  Well, I checked those options all out, Verizon has the best plan for allowable data and overages.  

I have no idea what to do beyond going into yet another loan for Fidelity wired cable or just waiting for starlink. ATM? Waiting for starlink. I'll pay the upfront costs for Starlink whenever it becomes available to find out if it can supply what I need.  It is highly likely that at some point? I'm going to cough up the considerable amount of money Fidelity wants and eat it.  They're hard wired and I have it at home.  It works great - usually anyway - and they have unlimited plans.  If I ever get into building more lots - which I definitely plan on doing at some point - I'm going to need cable that supplies a much better signal and download speeds.  

Well enough.  Some things you just have to let loose and let go.  The only reason I kept looking at internet possibilities is because of course, once you start googling something, Facebook picks it right up and starts throwing endless ads at you.

For now? I'm heading to the property.  See what kind of catastrophe the driveway is.
