I'm in business to make money.  It may take a while to get there, but still, if a couple pulls in with a 100k trailer and an 80k truck and asks for a discount on already highly discounted rates - to the point that they are the lowest in the industry - why do certain people think it's necessary to give them a further discount rate?  Did you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars building a park/buying the land? And all the blood, sweat and tears put into it?

I have pictures of bloodied arms trying to get through the thorn vines, the trees with thorns and several other plant species loaded with spikes and thorns that made my arms look like I was bleeding out. 

No, you didn't. You didn't navigate a venture completely foreign to you.  I was judged and that was expected. People always try to defeat anyone trying to go into business - it's too risky! You don't know what you're doing! ..and a myriad of other things people that may have good intentions are saying to you and really, just tearing you down.  

I don't understand it but I'm not going to let it get me down. I will somehow make this park successful. It may not happen overnight - obviously that is not happening - but somehow, it's going to make a profit over all the expenses and pay back the debt.  

Anyway, yesterday, I was out there with the boys and the dog.  We went on the trails first and I took a video of the entire walk - but after that we went back up front - they wanted to play in the dirt and the weeds, I was quite happy to accommodate them in that, they needed to get some energy out after being in the house all day long.  

Well, while they were doing that, a pickup truck pulled into the very long driveway and going very slowly.  They pulled into lot 14 - 350 feet away from us. I just watched for a while, they got out, got their dog out on a leash, walked around, etc etc etc.  

But, after a while, I decided to put Addler in the SUV and walk up to them and see what's going on.  I have decidedly tried to get rid of judmentalism in recent years, a thing Christians are quite guilty of and a thing that is - at least when it comes to the unsaved - forbidden in scripture.  It actually says to the effect that we are not to judge them.  I don't know where I picked that up from - probably church, the old style that condemns sin to the point that all you hear coming from those types of people's mouth is brimstone and hell fire messages.  

Anyway,  I came to the understanding within the first minute of talking to them that these people were - unusual and that one of the was a trans man.  That meaning a woman that does the testosterone therapy and in this case, apparently the surgery as well and is turned into a man, replete with  a man's voice.  

These were completely normal people.  They didn't blurt out their sexual orientation, they just talked like normal human beings. They have a 2021 36 foot RV trailer and they were asking if I would allow them to put a shed on their lot.  Maybe.  I ask lots of questions and make lots of statements. They showed me a pic of it - they haven't even bought it yet, brand new. I said that would be fine, I just don't want out door storage.  You can have flat top, smokers, grills tables chairs - normal outdoor stuff, it's the junk that tends to go along with having these sheds that I can't have going. 

Well, they didn't come off as slobs and trailer trash.  So, it may be that they are moving in at the beginning of next month. I don't know for sure yet what they want to do.  It was a nice conversation is what I can say. Meanwhile, while that was going on, a couple of people on mountain bikes came riding up the driveway, rode into the park entrance, through the rv park driveway and back out again.  

I have no idea what that was about.  It seems that people feel the freedom to just drive in whenever they want. I guess I have no problem with that - but my insurance policy forbids bicycles.  Literally, forbids them being ridden on the property.  

Uhh, anyway. It's MLK day and it's almost over.  Tomorrow I'll be out there plugging away at stuff. I need to get that mini-trench dug and that pipe in. I think I will have to get more stuff for that setup, but nothing expensive.

There are lots of other things needing to be done, that one however has the materials laying out there and I want it in the ground and done with.  

That's it. I did not spend the day today stressing about the park.  In fact, I didn't even go over there. There were no calls or reservations for people coming in and if the lone tenants have a problem, they have my phone number.  I'll be out there a good portion of the day tomorrow.
