I knew I was forgetting something, I just couldn't remember what it was.

The lone tenants there let me know this morning.  Really nice people btw, not hostile, argumentative - they said they really like it there and put the word out whenever they can to whoever might be in need of such facilities.  

Anyway, she said: Just a suggestion, but it might be helpful if you put in solar lights.

Yes! How could I have forgotten that?  There is literally no lighting in there at all at night.  I only want the low rise solar lights that you just push into the ground, regular street lighting is shunned by most RV'ers not wanting bright lights coming into their units at night.  She said a pickup truck came through late last night drove slowly through the park and then left.  I asked her if they are armed? Yes, she nodded. Oh that's fine, I have no problem with that.  

Anyway, my leg is hurting too bad to get much of anything done. I finished installing the doggy park trash bags, the kind you put your hand into, pick up the poop, pull your hand out and that's that.  And I cut the pipes down that are holding the gate and latch. And for now, I put in a much sturdier sign hold for the little sign at the highway. 

The other holder/stand would just bend over in the wind.  This one will not - it might lean a little bit but it won't bend over so far that you can't even see the sign.  I have been saying I'm going to install the big one a few times - and it just never happens.  Well I'm definitely not going to pound a post hole shovel in with this knee. Nor am I getting on my hands and knees to dig out the trench. I wanted to, that was my plan for today until the accident last night.

Fortunately,  just sitting here I feel no pain at all. That's an excellent sign that this isn't too serious and given enough time, it will heal on its own.  

Well good. A pack of 6 solar lights is only $30 range.  Get 12 of them, be done with it.  Fancier ones can be purchased in the future. 

Well, I guess it makes sense, changing the subject yet again. Roverpass hasn't been sending me any customers because they hadn't made my site go live yet.  I fixed this today after going there wondering about this and if I could upload more pics.  Turns out there wasn't any place for payments to be sent to - in other words, after a customer pays Roverpass, Roverpass pays me.  That's all taken care of and instantly I got an "you are now online with Roverpass!"  email.  

I did find it a bit odd that they didn't tell me this before I had to go digging in their site to find this out.  One would assume they want as much business as possible - they are taking a chunk of every reservation. I'm trying to get business in there and get the word out - I'll take the loss for the gain. I would like to hope someday I won't need Roverpass - or that I can simply raise the prices to make up for the loss of their 15% take.  My rates are so low right now as it stands.  Nope, there won't be any other discounts given, even if asked.  There's just no reason to give more discount on already highly discounted rates.

Well, maybe in the coming days I will get some business from them.  I'd like to get a call right about now from whoever: we're coming through, need a place to stay! Ok, come on over! 

____________

No new business. No reservations, no emails and no phone calls.  I dunno what to say - nothing I guess.  It will happen when it happens.  

 So I finally got a good review via Facebook. I wish they had put it on Google - but I think eventually it will be put on Google anyway, it seems to work out that way.  

"This is a gem! We stopped overnight and loved it! It is close to I-20 but far enough away to be very peaceful and quiet. Great for dogs."

That is, in my book, a very good review. Short, sweet and to the point. I may post it via manage my Google business account anyway. I need that up there, I don't just want it up there. There, that took 30 seconds to do, it is part of the description of the park now, the name left out of it. Not that I should have to worry about it, her name was visible on her Facebook review.

Ok. Well, a couple of people were playing soccer in the front yard yesterday and I was standing there - in the wrong place at the wrong time. An adult, male, human body came crashing into my leg and definitely did some damage to the ligament on my knee. I assume an ACL injury - wouldn't know that for sure without going to a doctor-

It hurt overnight but I managed to find a few positions in bed to sleep that allowed for sleep. I've had a complete ACL tear in the past, they are no fun. I doubt this is torn off, I can still put some pressure on it and sitting down I don't really feel anything. When I tore it some 30 years ago, it was in pain regardless and I definitely couldn't walk - for a long time actually.

So I'm hopeful that doing ice compressions and getting a knee brace after a couple of days have passed this thing will heal on its own. I have work to do, sitting around here isn't part of the equation. I am going over to the property today regardless - tho obviously I am not going to be doing any digging. If I could get down on my hands and knees, I could use the pick axe to dig out that little trench I need for that pipe. Somehow, I doubt that is going to happen. Exactly what I didn't need to have happen.

I'm also heavier than I have ever been in my entire life. I think the last time I got up here it was 230. I'm at 232. I'm done. This isn't going to go on any longer. I will just start eating salads and chicken. that's it. Anything else I might be able to find that is at least healthy, low calorie and preferably low carb. I can't just keep going up, I need to lose a lot of weight and I'm all in for that.

Keto diet was the only thing that ever worked, I'm going to try doing it again, just without too much beef or pork. Keep it mostly chicken and a lot of salads with various things added in - change it up here and there to keep it interesting. I may just fast a day or two and warp speed getting into ketosis. Oh well I can have turkey too. Not much of a change from chicken, but a bit different taste. And fish, yess, that's good as well and I have a bag of frozen Talapia already.

A few extra pounds is one thing, this is ridiculous. And can add health problems - especially diabetes junk. I just got serious this morning after seeing my weight increase fully 7 pounds from yesterday. I didn't even eat that much yesterday, I'm not sure how that happened.

Well, I guess I'll take a pain killer. It's fine sitting here but I'm going to be moving - as little as possible of course - but I really need to get over there and at least check everything out. Especially considering I didn't go yesterday. I do have a bit of security in knowing those people are living over there right now - they have my phone number, if something happens I would like to hope they will call me. I always tell people if there are any problems, please call!

Well enough. Not a lot to report, I'm just going to go over there and see if I can get anything done. The bag dispenser for the dog bags needed a screw that I bought the other day. I forgot to install it when I was over there last, I was messing around with the boys playing hide and seek. Well, the boys are in school and I can get something - even if just light stuff - done.

G'day
