Tuesday - semi early

I didn't get much done yesterday.  Got the trailer hooked up, took the trash can to the dumpster. It full and the liner broke when I tried to take it out.  Trash out, headed over to the tire shop.  Trailer has a leak on it, they said it was a bad rim, so they replaced that for 20 bucks.  After that?  I wasn't feeling good.  I dunno what it was, but I started more thinking of going home than going to Lowe's.  

And that's exactly what I did.  Work or no work, I just didn't have it in me yesterday to do anything beyond going to the store for dinner supplies later that day and make dinner.  I felt it kind of lame not to get more than that done, at the same time I wasn't feeling it at all.  I'm not going to bash myself for getting next to nothing done, it is what it is. I just know that Friday I will be going down to Nacogdoches then to Lufkin then back home, so I kind of want to get this stuff done before then.  

Well strike that, I definitely want to get this stuff done before then.  I find it enough to drive/load/unload 8 hours for any given day.  Plus, Friday is 10:00 am load time, so it's an up-early day and fortunately, get the day over with early as well.  That should have me home by 1:00 pm, but we'll say 2:00 for good measure. 

But you used to do 14 hour days. Yes, I did.  I didn't like them then and I definitely don't want to do them now.  I've gotten used to a more normal lifestyle and I'm not particularly interested in reverting back to these ridiculous 70-80 hour work weeks where life is just go-go-goooooo.

What I find funny is these other RV Park owners that complain about "all that I have to do" on any given day.  What do they have to do? Make sure lots are clean and functioning? Clean a bathroom?  Do some paperwork?  Larger operations normally have employees that do a lot of the work for them. I won't laugh too hard, tho, I'm turning 60 soon and I'm definitely slowing down a bit.  Enough to notice it. Don't have the same energy I used to.  No biggies, that's part of growing old, I'm not helpless lol.

My problems have been the idea that not everything is done from new construction, most of it is but the grass situation and other things that still need to be done sort of add to the work load.  It's not that bad, just things like having to go fix the driveway, buy a new lawnmower, more grass seed. I suppose that stuff can be an on-going struggle.  

Well, whatever the case, I'm ready to get out of here, get to Lowe's get the stuff I need - hopefully they have the asphalt patch on hand - get over to the seed store, get a couple more bags of that and get to working.

G'day
