?? One thing I hate, and that's writing an entry, accidentally hitting whatever key that does what it does and having the entire entry erased. Hit undo? It doesn't come back. 

So there is an entire entry about the last couple of days that is just vanished.  

I am not going to go into the detail I had with the previous entry - I was almost done with it - but I will give a synopsis. 

Let's see. Friday.  Well, I got the small shed done and got most of my stuff out of the big shed.  I then framed the area for the ac unit and then started trying to cut the tin for the ac to fit into.  My blade broke and that was the end of that. Those 2 items took many hours to complete. I then assessed this disaster of drainage these people had done. Wrote down all of the fittings I would need and took a few pics - that helps me figure things out if I forget while at the store and don't understand why I wrote down a particular item that I then think, why do I need that?  

That was pretty much it for the day. It was 6 hours and then it was time to go home.  Actually got a ride from James and Taylor instead of having to pay for it.  I'll save my money where  I can save it, the lady giving me rides is pretty dependable at least.  

It wasn't until after I left that the 2 nighter, repeat customer pulled in.  And then at 9:00 pm, the long term showed up with their older trailer.  They pulled into a back in site, I was watching them through the camera and then they decided to take lot 7 - the lot where the trashy people pulled out in the middle of the night.  Yesterday morning, I started getting texts about them.  "There is junk and boxes laying everywhere all around the trailer!", they exclaimed and then stated that the dogs were left outside, unattended. 

Okay, those are both big no-no's in my book I'm not running a trailer trash park and dogs have to be attended - according to my insurance policy, not some thing I made up out of the wild blue yonder.  Much of my rules are either based on common courtesy and cleanliness or my insurance company requirements.  But, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt. 

It turned out, they contacted me right after the lady had sent me pics.  I very gently informed them of the rules I would like to have them review and sent a link of them.  Then I pinpointed dogs not being left unattended or stuff being stored outside.  Just not going to happen.  This was a very casual thing, done intentionally to not make them think people were complaining or that I was unhappy with them already.  At least give them time to sort through their stuff and get it organized.  

Anyway, yesterday/Saturday.

We went to the older kid's soccer game.  He was tired, cranky and irritated. Why? Because younger brother decided to wake up in the middle of the night and intentionally wake him up, keeping him awake for hours.  Younger bro is getting himself into all kinds of trouble both at home and school. Anyway, soccer star was crying on the sidelines as the coach took him out after playing for 40 minutes to let other players in.  He was pouty and crying all the way home.  We all knew why and when we got home? They both ate lunch and were put to bed.  

Mommy and daddy left for Longview to do a client thing and I stayed home with them.  They slept 2 full hours and woke up in a much better mood.  We went to Longview to meet up at Bubba 33's.  I did end up cheating yesterday, I had been planning on it. Months of no cheating was getting old, I had to take a break. A meat pizza and a drink.  After that, off to lowe's and then off to Dairy Queen.  An extreme chocolate blizzard, over to the park, tried to collect from the newbies but they had left.

I examined the lot. Good enough, they had cleaned everything up. The only thing of note was a busted door window. I contacted them, told them they needed to fix that. Busted windows on trailers just gives the appearance of a trashy park.  They said they already had the parts and were going to fix it. 

We went for a ride on the 4 wheeler for the fun of it and then went home.  That ate up yesterday, but I did get the parts to fix the tragedy that these contractors left behind in the trench. NO way I'm covering that all up and hoping it will work.  One of the fittings had already busted loose from them using the incorrect glue.  All of that is going to be cut off, trashed and start over. 

I'll be doing that tomorrow-Monday.  Today? Well, both James and Taylor are going to be out doing stuff, so we are going to have to miss church. Well, we've been going for moths, missing one week isn't the end of the world.  Yes, I'm just staying home today.  I don't see any reason to pay $24 to go to and from the park to work when I usually, at least now, do not work on Sundays. I do need to get over there and collect that rent tho.  The newbies and lot 3 - if he is staying. His friends, the slobs, left in the middle of the night, I dunno if he's staying or what.  But if he is, today is rent due day for him.  

I can see his trailer on the video surveillance, he's definitely still there.  

I am also going to pull the trigger on a trip back to AZ. I have been thinking about it a lot. I can make all the excuses in the world not to go back - I really don't feel like traveling right now - but I need to see mom and my son.  And a few friends if possible.  I'm not going to stay long, maybe 3 or 4 days.  3 of my credit cards have ample points to pay for a flight from the airport in Longview - GGG - which flies to Dallas and then to PHX.  I could probably make 5 trips with the points I have on them.

I have decided to go next month. The price is relatively the same regardless of which day combinations I choose. It's around $500, up over $100 from the last time I checked this.  

I haven't pulled the trigger yet, I will probably decide today which dates  to go.  

Anyway, that's enough for now.
