Family leaving tomorrow morning, it's all been - exhausting.  Too many kids.  Too much fighting and stupidity.  The kids aren't stupid, they just do stupid stuff that they know is dumb but they do it anyway.  Not going into it, it's just that I'm glad they are leaving, the grandma and the oldest brother.  Things can get back to normal around here.....

I'm just waiting for Monday, really. I need the electrician to come out and tell me what I need to do about this ground. If he doesn't show up, I'm just going to go get the ditch witch, dig out the trench which shouldn't take too long with that kind of machine, take the machine back and get the wire from the electrical supply house. Hook it up to the shed breaker box, fill in the trench, take off the panel again on the pedestal, turn off the power and get the wires hooked up.  

Turn the power back on to the park with the main breaker in off position on the shed, go to the shed, flip that main breaker and .... see what happens.  Nothing should happen.  Well, the water heater will start heating the water, but that should be the only thing that turns on.  That's the plan whether it happens on Monday or not. 

Just one more delay in a line of many.   

I paid for the new windshield this morning.  The man was in a much better mood and thanked me for dealing with it without turning it into an ordeal. No problem, it was my fault, the only right thing to do is to pay whatever it costs and write it off.  It's a chunk of change, money I was going to pay myself with.  I still have more money to pay myself with,  I was just trying to leave a large cushion for any issues.  Such as, who knows what this next electric bill will be.

Speaking of that, I am looking into having a solar array installed on a frame.  I know summer electric bill is going to be huge, I'd like to do something to mitigate those bills. First is to raise the rent rate, second is to see if I can get my own power generated.  It's worth a look, the federal government is giving out 30% of the cost of solar. 

This coming month I'm going to let everyone know the rate is going up to $475 per month. If they don't like it, they can certainly find somewhere else to move to. They'll have 30 days to make up their minds.  May, I want that increased rate because it will start heating up. June, well, we all know what happens in June concerning outdoor temps.  Oh, this rate is pretty much the going rate in this region, with one or two exceptions going lower and several exceptions going higher - much higher.  

I was informed by a guest the other day that I should be charging more than I am.  She said "at least $500 per month".  But that isn't realistic.  I replied that I am going to have the 50 amp trailers paying $475 and the 30 amp trailers paying $450.  30 amp trailers only have one AC unit, the 50 ampers have two - and occasionally 3.  

I did not feel like hanging out at the park today, we went to the 8 year old's soccer game this morning.  It was getting warm outside. His team had several no shows, meaning the boys had to play the entire game without any subs to come in to take their place to let them rest.  The other team had 4 subs and were moving  kids in and out of the game.  Our 8 year old was toast. And when I say toast, I mean, not talking, bright red face, barely walking. I felt his forehead, he wasn't particularly hot, he was just completely exhuasted.

After that we went to a birthday party down the street and after that..home. I have no plans for the rest of today.
