I made the mistake of going back to the Park yesterday at around 7:30 pm and mowing the doggy park.  I just wanted it done.  I can't be having my park looking like some weed kingdom.  

I am calling it a mistake because I feel like hell this morning. My head is aching and unless I am going through another Keto flu, it is highly likely because I spent so much time in this heat.  It's not a riding mower, it is self propelled but you still have to push and pull it in frequently and you are on your feet, walking the entire time with heavy boots on.

I don't walk through tall grass/weeds with tennis shoes on, there may be snakes. It also ruins the shoes by getting that green substance on them.  

Anyway, the second time around did me in.  I came home and took a cool shower to clean up and cool off and drank a lot of water and tea.  But the damage was done. 

Now, someone has texted me saying the wifi is having issues.  I was going to wait until later, maybe start feeling a little better, before going over there.  I'll have to reset the device. They said it hasn't been working right since Wednesday, which is odd because I hooked up to it 2 days ago to access internet to run 2 credit cards through. Had no issues besides an old laptop that takes it's sweet old time even getting started up.  

It might be too hot for that thing. It's outside. Well, it's inside a plastic container but it's in the open.  The sun beats down on it.  I just figured I'd leave it like that and see what happens when I first installed it. It's had no problems until now.  Still, I wonder if maybe someone kicked the extension cord or something and moved it around inside there. 

It has to be face the right direction or it won't pick up the signal and it won't deliver internet.  It has it's own nuances that you have to figure out as you go along.  I do have the other router, but it's in the shed, doubtful it reaches the entire park.  It would, however, reach the people that are saying the other one isn't working. They are maybe 100 feet away. The routers have something like a 300 foot range.  Anyway, I will be going over there and checking it out...in a few. 

Funny how people just don't say anything about something going wrong.  I haven't heard any complaints from anyone else. They either have their own wifi or they just aren't saying anything about it?  No idea.  

I'm down 7 pounds in  a fast hurry.  It just plummeted and has stayed there.  No clue.  Ketosis hit and there it went.  About time, I was packing on the fat. It comes on fast. Even without eating any sugar and very few carbs - this was before I finally got back into ketosis - the fat was piling on.  It's crazy, the older you get the easier you gain weight? At a younger age, eating the way I am now, ketosis or not, I would have dumped the extra pounds quickly.  

It probably helps that I'm working outside a lot and quite a bit of physical exertion.  I have other areas that need mowed - I was just getting the lots, the triangle, some of it by meters and the doggy park done.  If I were to do the rest of it, there's probably half a day's worth anyway.  I may do it, too, because once those weeds get too big, the mower won't plow them down.  The stems get too thick and tough. You can mow over the top of them but it won't destroy them.  They will just stand back up and keep on growing.  

So, I will have to get that done. I don't know about today, but definitely soon.  

I also hooked up water to the rv yesterday.  The faucets were all working, but the toilet was a continuous flush.  They had installed a valve to open and close to shut off the water instead of fixing or replacing the toilet. Kind of dumb, IMO.  Fix it correctly, dang. Then I got outside to make sure there were no visible leaks.

Yeah, that didn't work out so well. There was a huge leak coming out of the rear passenger side. Shrugs shoulders. As long as I can get to the leak, I can fix it. Even if it's a bad water pump - those are expensive - I can bypass it. It doesn't need a pump, it's running off of city water pressure.  Pumps are only if you don't have a water connection and need water pressure.

Not saying it's the pump, but that would be the worse-case scenario.  I know, I just said fixing or replacing the toilet is what they should have done and now saying to bypass a pump, not the same. The toilet you are using daily, probably several times a day.  The pump? No need at all for it. I assume it's road days  are over with, tho a person could fix the problems with the engine if they really wanted to.  It's definitely a blown exhaust manifold gasket and probably carburetor needs replaced along with fresh fuel. It handles very well driving down the road.  Smooth ride, it doesn't wander all over the place. 

Still looking at jobs.  There is another one, it's not hazmat but it's local, home every day.  I have a list of fuel hauling companies that I have compiled over time. I am going to look at all of those.  I dunno if they offer training, but if any of them do, I would be very tempted to go that route. 

However.....this job where I'm home every day. It means that it must not be long runs and that it's a "short" day, at least by trucker standards.  The pay is low enough to warrant not much miles.  It would still be enough to live off of, especially coupled with park income.  

Alright. Enough doodling around. Time to go over there and check out the router. 

G'day
