Thursday - mid morning

Yup, slept in again. Tho this time, it's because I woke up at 2 am and maybe got back to sleep around 5ish?  

Last night, I ran back over to the park for a 4th time to use a volt meter to establish factually that the power problem isn't coming from the park.  Nope.  It showed normal voltage coming out of each leg.  His GFCI circuit breaker won't reset, that's a great place to start. Otherwise, he's going to take it somewhere in Tyler and I will refund his money, minus the 2 days of stay.  He has to work today, I guess he isn't going to try that until after he gets home.  I would do it for him, since he lacks the knowledge or the confidence, but I don't want to be responsible for any problems that might occur, especially with electrical in a trailer.  

I told him how to do it, simple stuff, he'll just have to work that out on his own.  Or, leave and find a place to repair it. My RV repair guy isn't available anytime soon and didn't actually have a date when he could come, he just wrote it down on his schedule and apparently going to try and work it in when he can. 

Today.  Well, I think it's a good day to cut down the vegetation that has grown over portions of the driveway.  It would be a good day to fill in potholes.  Just need some gravel......Dunno if I want to spend that much money right now.  Filling in with dirt is only a temporary solution, albeit it is a solution. Just doesn't last very long.  

Oh, and I'm going to go buy a couple 5 gallon buckets, some PVC, hangars and build mice traps. People are getting mice in their trailers, I found a simple, cheap solution that will work, at least according to everyone that is touting the method.  You build a trap that the mice jump onto at the top of the 5 gallon bucket (put peanut butter on it), it spins when the mouse gets on the thing and they fall into the bucket.  Put about 4 inches of water at the bottom and they drown.  

I found it unbelievable this dude in that group going off about how inhumane it is.  Like what? These are rodents, not humans.  Thank you, have a nice day.  All rodents can die as far as I'm concerned and varmints as well, including the coyotes he seemed to be so fond of. 

I'm doing serious research again on these glamping tents, attempting to come up with a price tag to build a deck, put up the tent and outfit it with the necessary amenities.  I really think if I can keep the park full that my business finances will start building up.  I guess it's a big if for keeping the park full, but right now, the place is completely filled up.  

The man with the trailer problems is apparently staying. He had the rv mechanic coming out Monday, the soonest the guy could make it out.  I'm confident he can fix whatever the problem is, but I still suggested to the guest that he replace that GFCI circuit, it is highly likely the problem. 

I have heard nothing from the trucking company and I'm ok with that this week.  The plant is shut down and they don't have enough work for everyone.  My luck they will try to get me to go do something this weekend.  It wouldn't be shocking, at all.  This is the way trucking companies work.  They don't care about your personal life.  I've said that 100 times in this blog, I'll keep saying it, they simply don't care.  I mean, they are in business to haul goods, I get that.  But I also get that I made my intentions very clear at the get go.  I won't hold it against them if they are "demanding" me work this weekend, just kind of ridiculous.  

Well, I guess I'll also call the rock company and see if they will let me have a small load of rock to fill in potholes.  I'll tell the guy I'm with my rv park, y'all hauled almost 30k worth of rock over here, can I buy a small amount to fill potholes with?  It's not a good look, those potholes and I'd like to fix them.  

The QuikTrip guy. NO idea when he's leaving.  He's paid up until the 15th, that's all I know.  His lot should be coming available soon, but when?  The QT is opening today, he does the networking cabling and setup for all the electronics in the store. I would imagine his work there is done. But, he ends up leaving and going elsewhere - other states even - to do work and just leaves the trailer there. Not an issue, I guess, but I would like to know for a fact.  I just canceled the 4 day reservation, not something I like to do.  

Well enough of this.  Time to get busy. The day is wasting away.

G'day
