First and foremost: 10 hours of beautiful sleep. I mean, it's only 7:30 am right now, but I went to bed last night at 9:00 pm and I only woke up twice - and only awake a few minutes. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels to actually get some sleep. It's just amazingly helpful for the mind and body. Okay, I'm still really fazed out in the brain right now, that much sleeps messes with me, but I'll pull out of it eventually. I'm definitely going over to the property to work today regardless.
My shed needs that sheet of plywood. Yesterday evening, I decided to get it at Lowe's in Taylor's truck. Otherwise, I don't even know when I would have been able to get the thing. No, I didn't feel like going up there to Lowe's. Not after all the shoveling and putting that shed together and leveling and everything else I got done. The keypad door handle is installed. Much easier than I thought - it always helps to read the instructions lmao.
Today's agenda? I dunno, there's still so much to do, but finished the shed will be the first thing and then moving everything out to the shed will be the second. The shed needs that ac installed, continue work on the drywall, install the insulation, backfill the trench - just still plenty of work to do. I really just want the stuff out of the shed so I can get that thing opened to everyone and start getting the money in those coin collectors in those machines filling up so I can at least pay the monthly payment for them. A little extra would be nice to pay for the hassle of having to get quarters out and roll them up. I didn't and won't be getting a change machine any time soon. Way too much money, the cheapest one I found was around $700.
For $75, I can buy a coin counter. For $11, I can buy a funnel with a special tube at the bottom. You pull the quarters out of the counter, dump them into a funnel and the quarters drop into your wrapper. If this is a once or twice a month thing - the coin collectors on those machines are huge - I'm not going to worry about it. I just don't want to sit around counting quarters and I'm definitely not taking it to the grocery store to use one of those coinstar machines that counts your change, takes up to 15% of your money for the privilege and then you get what's left over.
No thank you.
On another note, I woke up this morning to find that 35 nights worth of overnight lot rentals have been made. The - lesbian - couple are staying again. I noted their sexual preferences because I am not responsible for what people do in their bedrooms with other people or what gender the other person is. I also don't go around making fun of or condescending to such people. They are human beings, made in the likeness and image of God, as the Bible states, and also that God is no respecter of person and further that he would have ALL to come to salvation. The problem with the Christian community for so long is that they openly reject such people.
But, if you believe one portion of the Bible, then you should believe all of it and take it all into context. "ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God". We are all in the same sin boat. Different types of sin, yes, but all of it has the same end result.
And anyway, these are nice people. They don't start trouble with anyone and act perfectly normal.
The other one is a person that has come 3 times already and is stopping through again. I don't know why he likes my park so much, actually there are always 3 people traveling together. I have never spoken to them, lol, they want to be left alone. As long as they pay their lot fee, I don't care. They can keep to themselves as much as they want. This time they are staying 2 days. They show up, drop their trailer and take off to wherever they are going. I would guess they have family here or perhaps some sort of event that brings them.
That was pretty quick. That's another lot taken for 33 nights that I don't have to worry about. Hopefully these other people are showing up today with the Great Dane. That's 2 lots taken. That leaves 2 lots open and I'm still trying to rent out that 13th lot. I will leave one open for overnighters. Pull through lot 5, to be specific. I know I'm losing another renter - at least - in less than a month, so I want to get the place as full as possible while still leaving one space open for the travelers.
I also don't know if the friend of the people that left in lot 7 is staying or going. He hasn't replied to me, sort of leans towards him leaving. I have had several inquires in the last 24 hours about the long term spaces and I am not turning anyone away until people actually show up, pay the rent and occupy the space. In fact, if it were to go that route, I would be tempted to rent all of them out long term and be done with it for a while. That way, when someone leaves, I am not screwed for doing last minute ads for people to take the lot. It really isn't much fun having these people leaving without notice. Anyway, that person's rent is due on the 16th, we'll find out soon enough if he's staying or going.
Still, it was encouraging to see reservations coming in filling up that many nights. It's been quite the dry season without any of that coming in at all.
That's it. I have my ride coming in 40 minutes to take me over there. Taylor left early this morning, James is off today but he is super busy with his side business he has started and stuff that needs done around the house, I will just take a pay ride over there and not bother anyone with it. I'm finally starting to wake up and get rid of this fog in my brain.
Well, I guess I best get my stuff together and get ready to leave.
G'day.
