Slept poorly last night.  So much so that it is not a very pleasant thought about the day facing me today.  I mean, I'm going to have to leave here soon, go to the property, hook up the trailer, go to near the state line, get that shower - and whatever else they may have that I might need - head back to the property, over to Longview for a kite festival, spend a few hours there and then finally, after that, go home.  

Taylor is manning a booth for her company at the kite festival, but she promised to bring the boys for the festival itself.  The problem is, her work dumped a bunch of stuff on her at the last minute to prepare for today's event.  That meant that she wouldn't have time to drive clear home to get the boys and take them back over there, which was her original plan.  So I decided to go ahead and take them, it's Spring Break and they can't just be sitting at home all day long for a week.  

I just can't believe this coughing nonsense. It's endless. If I'm laying down, I'm coughing.  I am tempted to get some antibiotics to ensure that this isn't some non-virus thing that can be treated.  I at least want to try meds to see if they will help alleviate this endless misery.  Well, during the daytime, it's not so bad, I start coughing at times but it doesn't go on for hours.  

I'm basically in a race right now to get this shed done.  It really needs to be done before the end of this month, but I doubt it will be.  When I say that, I mean the bathroom done as well as laundry.  Kitchen can wait til the last thing on the list.  It's going to be a scavenger hunt as well  - well it already has been, I'm not buying new and I will wait until I find something such as this shower stall before I pull the trigger and buy.

Very long day.  Got the trailer, went over to Karnack, got the shower stall and a toilet. I said I wasn't going to buy a used toilet, but this thing was hardly used and only $40.  I saw the other shower stall and asked how much?  $100.  Sold!  That shower stall is the walls, the base and the glass door.  Similar setup at Lowe's starts at $599 and goes up from there. Not including tax.  I don't need 2 shower stalls, I will decide which one I want to use and sell the other one - at a markup.  

They had an old, metal bench that rocks on gliders.  You want this? How much? $20.  I was shocked and said yes without hesitation.  That thing cleaned up and painted is easily worth $300.  I've looked.  It can go in the doggy park or it can go by the fire pit.  

I didn't get the glass stall today tho.  Not enough room on the trailer. That fiberglass stall took up a lot of the trailer, the bench more and the toilet finished it off. I will be going back tomorrow to get the other stall. It is likely I will keep the glass setup and resell the fiberglass one.  But I'm not sure yet...

Back to the property, dropped the trailer and headed to the annual kite festival over in Longview.  Replete with a free kite for the first 720 people.  Both boys were into it, but the older boy was really getting into it.  We did that for quite a while, then to the bounce houses, then to the ice cone truck, back to where Taylor was, back to kiting, then to the bounce houses again and then...out of here.  Oops, forgot the boys got into a fire truck and police cruiser.  

That was 3-1/2 hours of that and I was done.  Came home, made dinner and here I am.  Needing to run over to the property actually, which I'm doing soon before I just say nope, I'm toast,; thanks, have a great day.  

Oh, those people that came in last night? They had 100 grand easily worth of toys on 2 trailers, which doesn't include the trailers themselves and the vehicles pulling them. They are going to the Sabine River thing that is also an annual event. Apparently they weren't able to get a spot down there for last night, hence staying at my place.  They had side-by-sides, 3 of them and other stuff.  Those things aren't cheap and these were decked out well beyond manufacturers outfitting.  

The water lines...well, the adapter has a crack in it, hence why the entire thing blew up.  So, I will have to redo that entire setup down there.  Unbelievable.  I'll be checking the next adapter for cracks....that's a bit of work and a few dollars as well.  I'm just going to replace the entire setup - it's just pvc stuff not extremely expensive.  Another trip to Lowe's tomorrow - but I was going anyway for the flexible pipe for the water heater.  

Shrugs shoulders, fix it and move on.

I'm very tired.  Dinner is almost done cooking.
