So these people that wanted a lot called after I sent them 2 emails. They are actually staying long term.  Oh, and there is value to checking off the LGTBQ+ friendly tab on a Google business account.  They look for that stuff when looking for a place to stay.  This is a....well it's a lady married to a lady.  I haven't had any problem with these people in my park and I've had a couple of them now.  They're nice, friendly and the ones that I have encountered don't feel the need to announce to you that they are gay/lesbian/whatever.  Just like straight people don't go around announcing they are ... straight. 

Anyway they are allegedly showing up tonight.  I say allegedly, as always, because they actually have to show up first before I can say - yes, I finally got another long term in. 

Meanwhile, I burned up in the sun today. I knew I would but I had to get that started. It's not going to get any better, so why put it off? One of the people in the park came up behind me while operating that machine and touched me with a cold bottle of water. Yes, I'll take that.  She was asking about how to build a site. They are there temporarily while they build a house but they are also wanting someone to come and make them an RV lot so they can live on the property while the house is being built.

Well, I gave them the number of the company I used and told them these are the best in the area.  I still believe that even tho a few misgivings, nothing serious.  These people are staying a little long than a month and they are gone .

Back to this beast of a machine.  The top layer of the ground is hard and even this big, heavy things takes a bit to churn through it.  It took me a while to figure out how to use it without having to manhandle  the thing.  You still have to use some serious muscle with it, but nothing like when I first started and said, gee, I'm not going to last very long having to do this the entire time.  

But it's definitely necessary to churn up the ground. After I get a couple of lots tilled, I will have to rake it smooth, throw down seed, roll it and start watering it.  The lady that gave me the water today said "have you looked at the upcoming weather?"  Yes.  "It's going to be near 100 for the foreseeable future, the seeds will dry up".  Oh I know.  I'll have to water it probably 3 times a day.  I don't have any choice, I'm not going to not plant seed because it's hot outside. It can be mitigated, you just have to ensure that you are watering it morning, noon and evening.  

I'm going to limit it to 4 sites to begin with.  I can't be watering 14 sites all at once. I don't know how long it's going to take to get all of this done but there is no way to run water to 14 sites, 3 times a day.  I mean, I guess there is but I'd be running around all day long in this intense heat and I just don't think I can handle it. I'm not 20 something anymore. Or 30. or 40.  I'm close to 60's now.
