 I'd like to forget today.

The electrician didn't make it, said he was busy trying to get a pad done before the storm arrives.

The storm never arrived. 90% chance of rain went to nothing.  

I mowed all 14 lots - and busted a windshield on a late model pickup with a rock that flew out of the mower.  $640 wonderfulness. 

People coming in tonight called and confirmed.  Then they called again and said their friends staying at another lot said that their lot was taken. 

Taken?  I have 2 guests coming in today, the 3rd of the group showed up yesterday, they showed up a day early, but that spot wasn't taken so that got the extra day. 

. They are all automatically assigned by the reservation system. I double-check it, but it's a sound system.

If someone makes a reservation, I am onto it right away. Nothing is left to chance, nothing put to memory.

So who are these people at lot 2? I have no idea. I know their last names because the people that showed up - with nowhere to park besides boondocking parking said the names of all of their square dancing friends. 

The got to the name of  a particular set of people. I went into the shed, fired up the computer, looked, they weren't in there.  

I dunno. 

Just a day.  I can't say I'll do better with reservations, I don't even do them. If someone calls me and wants me to do it for them, I block out the dates. I have a couple of those in there as it stands.  I don't leave anything to chance, faulted memory, distraction, whatever. If a reservation is made, it's in the campground software.

It's the broken windshield that got me today. I should have had the catcher on the mower - at least until I've been over the lots several times over to make sure there are no rocks to pick up and throw. I won't be making that mistake again. Any areas near trailers or vehicles for a while to come will be mowed with the grass catcher attached.

Windshields aren't cheap, especially late model vehicles with other things imbedded into them.

I'm offa here.    

 Friday - early

Whatever happened last night, I missed the ordeal completely. I heard all about it but I was not involved in it, thank God Almighty. I have had enough drama in my life in past events, I don't need any more of that.  

I feel like I could sleep a couple of more hours, but once I woke up, I popped out of bed. Really want to meet up with this electrician this morning.  It isn't going to be free but someone has decided that they are going to pay for it for me, don't ask, it was an offer out of the blue.  They saw the video I posted with the breaker box and decided they were too afraid of electricity to allow me to do that without at least having someone check it out.

In fact, the offer was to do all of the wiring.  I wondered if this person understood how much money would cost, but that offer just came a day and a half ago and I am almost finished. Let's just find out what the guy says.  

I don't know, but this stops progress until he either shows up - or doesn't. If he can't come, I'm moving on with installing the underground ground wire, rent the trenching machine, get it over with.  Not something I wanted to have to do, this job would be over as of yesterday and I would have started positing the machines into place and working on getting them hooked up.  Instead, we get delayed once again.  Nothing new under the sun going on here.  

His words were "if I can get loose before the rain". Well, the rain is slated for 12-1:00 pm.  So, I'm getting out there early, but not as early as I was going to, it's just now getting light outside.  I'll start mowing grass this morning - I'm not going to be over there and just sit around doing nothing, there are plenty of other things to do.  I also still need to treat those picnic tables and really, a lot of other stuff I can get done.  

$243 worth of wire, gag.  Plus $160 for the machine rental. Gag again.  Oh well. 

Well I don't have time to linger here. 


 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
