Another bad sleep night, gag.  Just awake for hours.  

Rain isn't expected to hit until after 2:00 pm.  With the way forecasts actually come true around here, one wonders if it's even going to rain at all.  

I'm going to try and get the sewer line completed today, done and over with.  And I will try to get the wiring completed for the bathroom.  The light fixture is near completed, but there are a couple of other lines I need to run off of the line that feeds the bathroom as well.  

Throw the main breaker, pull the wires out of the light switch box that turns the light on for the laundry area, hook that all up, run the wires to their destinations, install those outlets and be done with it.  Yup, that's a lot more work than it sounds.  

Still nothing extra in the reservation system.  I suspect much of what I am going to get is these last minute travelers needing a place to stop overnight. I'll gladly accommodate them, but I am looking to fill those lots with longer term.  I have 3 open lots right now, 2 more than I want open. I'll continue to run ads until people move in.  Hmm, well the boost is still pending.  For whatever reason, it usually takes at least 24 hours before they will approve it. 

Just biding my time here.  My ride is coming in about 45 minutes. I'm not really looking forward to much of anything today, I am tired and it will take a while to shake that feeling of grogginess.  There is so much work to do, tho, that I can't afford to just sit home on a week day.  The taxes are done for now,  there really isn't any legitimate reason to stay home beyond feeling tired.  I've driven countless times in a semi truck in this condition. 

It would be really nice, tho, if the collision center would call today or tomorrow and say the vehicle is done.  They said it might be this week but couldn't give any guarantees.  I guess it doesn't matter, the folks are leaving and I will be able to use whichever vehicle they leave behind. It's just that I like to drive my own vehicle. If anything happens, it's on me, not on them and me.  I'm still waiting for the aftermath with the insurance company.  Maybe they don't do anything until the dust settles - ie: the vehicles are fixed and the ticket is done with the court.  

This weekend I'm going to try to make up my mind when to leave.  My mom says she usually leaves town sometime in May, once the temps hit 100 she's outta there.  The forecast shows no 100 degree days in May, but that isn't going to stop her from going up there, I don't think. It's likely more the temperatures up there that matter.  The lows show in the 40's - which is way too cold for her. She has never liked the cold and hence she doesn't go up there in the winter.  I haven't told her I am coming, I am still half weighing surprising her at her doorstep - but at the same time, I don't want to show up to find she is leaving or even gone.  

So early May seems best.  I can tell ya, if I didn't have family there, I wouldn't even go.  I have no desire to travel anywhere.  If I were to stay in town here and just deal with the park and maybe take an occasional trip to somewhere within - 200 miles maybe - I'd be fine with that.  I mean, a flight overseas and visiting another nation, now that would be something entirely different.  I've traveled the US, I've seen most everything besides Alaska and Hawaii, I'm weary of traveling and it's why I gawk at the idea of going back to trucking.  I may have to do that eventually, but not now.  I could go at least a couple more months on what I've got right now and especially with money coming in.  

I'm sure I could get reconditioned to trucking if I really have to.  A couple more years of it won't hurt me, I guess.  It's more having to be forced back into it, tho, than wanting to go back into it.  It would take some pressures off of me and also get me paying down some debt and also getting me into a financial position to get another loan.  

But every time I get on the Interstate and I see trucks, I just think how ugly it is driving out there. Troopers wanting to pull you over, idiots driving cars and nowadays, idiots driving tractor-trailer rigs like they are cars. They cut you off without thinking twice about it.  Trying to find places to park overnight.  Not getting any or much exercise. Sitting all day long.  Trapped inside a small box endlessly.  It has zero appeal to me anymore. The glory days of driving are far gone, it's just an overregulated pile of garbage now and I'd rather have nothing to do with it. 

I might actually see about this truck driver training position - that lady is coming back this weekend and staying a while.  Of course, she might be staying to train a trainer - they have allegedly been looking for someone but I haven't seen any ads for it.  Yes, I do peruse trucking positions here and there to see what's available locally.  If something good were to show up, I might try to jump on it.  A rear end collision, my fault, isn't going to help anything tho.  

Gonna finish this one up. Time to get my stuff ready to go.

G'day
