The boss of the other guy that showed up last week came in today.  I didn't even see him drive in. He picked the last remaining pull through lot, I figured he would, I gave him latitude to take whichever spot he wanted.  He stated he wanted to be next to or as close as possible to his worker. Well, he pulled in next to him.  I was going to collect rent, but the Lenova pile of junk was doing yet another update which usually takes as much as an hour to complete.  The other day, it turned on, off, on, off, on, off and on again before taking forever to load up and actually start working. 

I was appalled that after going through that a few days ago, here we go again!  That guy got set up and left before I came anywhere even remotely close to being able to take a credit card payment.  

I'll catch up with him later.

Meanwhile, I"m pulling weeds - story of my life over there - this time around the doggy park and also cleaning up dog s*** from whoever's dog running around leaving piles everywhere and it's owner not picking them up, when the phone rings.  I immediately recognized it as the trucking company in Oregon.  Same number calls every time, same recruiter.  She is always upbeat, lol. Helllllaaaaaooooooaaaaaaoooooo!  Hi there.  I have a quick question for you.  Okay?  If we could get you in orientation sooner, would you be interested in doing that?  It depends on when you want to do it?  The beginning of September (versus the 17th I think she said last time I talked to her).  Ok.  
Well, I am going into a meeting with the team and I will put it out before them and get back to you, ok? Sure.

Really need to start working sooner than halfway through next month.  I do have 12 of 14 lots filled right now plus the 2 behind the shed - but - I need a job.  I'm not going to pay down debt with that income and I have property tax and insurance payment coming up. I was going to start putting money aside for that, never materialized.  I was doing good just get the bills paid and for several of the last - well most of them actually - 8 months I never received a single paycheck.  I did give myself money last month and a little the month before.  I'll have to give myself money this month or I will go into default on several payments.  

I do have money in the business account and fixing to have more.  So I'll probably write an owner's draw check sometime soon and put that in the personal checking account.  

If they call back with the beginning of September, that's what it's going to be unless I find something better.  Don't make that kind of offer to me and renege on it, please.  

That's it. A few prospects in the offing but nothing concrete yet.

Oh! I did drive over to the new RV park. Signs saying "Grand Opening" and "Now Renting RV's and Cabins". The gate was locked and closed. That was the main entrance.  I went up to the back entrance.  It had changed. Someone is living in a building that is not on the RV property and it just didn't feel right.  There were no signs saying no trespassing and there was no gate, but I still felt uneasy. Took a glance over at the RV park, completely empty. In fact, just dirt and gravel pads.  That's all I needed to see. I can't imagine paying a million dollars for that.  Makes no sense to me at all.  Could buy the land and have that built for you for half that price.  

The business model is solid, however.  There isn't really any great demand for RV parks but there is if you are renting the units you live in.  If I had more money, I'd buy another RV and sell it as well.  Not renting tho. Now that I think of it, not the greatest plan on that new park's part. That leaves them responsible for everything in the RV if it breaks. Ok, Cabins I can see renting, obviously, but not RV's.  

It may well be that I have James build a tiny house from the frame up. He is looking for side work, that is something he could do.  I want things on wheels so it stays non-taxable. Once you put it on the ground and rent it, it's taxable. The only taxes I want to have to pay is income tax. 

Whatever. Nothing like that is going to happen without more money coming in and right now, that's just got to be a job.  And there it is, another inquiry about a lot. I tell him the requested info, he says "I'll be getting back with you".  Maybe he will, maybe he won't lol.  All I know is, if you don't answer that phone when they call, you will never hear from them again.  I answer every phone call nowadays unless it's specifically labeled spam. 

That's it.  Be going back over to the property later on to collect 2 payments.  I have no idea when this new guy will be home, he hasn't called me and he wasn't too interested in close contact when I told him I've been sick.  The other people should be home after 5:00.
