Friday Mid-Morning

Her folks came in to town yesterday.  We all went to a local catfish dining restaurant and hung out chatting for the entire evening, actually, after leaving the restaurant and coming home.

They have gone to the Boardwalk over in Shreveport this morning.  It's a sort of tourist trap along the Red River where there's all kinds of different shops and casinos as well.  

I am heading over to the property to work on signs.  The metal stands that the shop gives me with those signs are - useless.  They bend easily, they blow over with the wind, I am constantly fooling with the things.  I bought some plain ole' 36 inch long wooden stakes yesterday, the hardware to mount the signs to the stakes and will be doing some of those this morning.  

Although, it's supposed to get to 106 today, I will be leaving soon to get some of this done.  the forecast is for over 100 degree days for the next 10 days in a row.  I can't imagine what my next electric bill will be over there.

I started getting this itchiness all over my body again, I think I'm going to stay away from the weeds for a while.  Pretty sure that's what's causing this.  It isn't poison ivy, I've been paying attention. There are a wide variety of different weeds out there, I don't know what any of them are called, I just think that one of them is giving me an allergic reaction.  

Anyway, the trucking company moved orientation to the original September 18th date.  I don't think I can make it that long.  Finances are getting low - tho there are numerous payments coming up. The thing is, you can't count on people staying.  RV parks are a "fluid" environment with people coming and going. You don't know when anyone is going to leave unless they have specifically told you.  

Well, anyway, the wedding is tomorrow, the grandparents aren't coming. Apparently she got sick and can't come. They were both going to come with the third kid tomorrow, stay overnight and go back on Sunday. I certainly don't with illness on anyone, but considering the situation I am glad they aren't coming.  No need to go into all of that, don't feel like and don't want to.

All I know is, it's almost time to start getting out the applications. Monday morning I will be sending out applications to all kinds of local trucking companies and trucking applications such as fuel and chemical hauling and see if I can snag something.  

I don't really have much to say atm. Just focused on doing what I need to do. Going back to trucking isn't going to be any fun, but it's a necessary thing that must be done in order to survive financially.  

As for now, I'm headed to the property to get some of these signs done.
