Sunday - afternoon

Lol.  I did a system restore this morning to try and get back what was deleted somehow with the tabs I had opened on my computer. Some of them were websites that may be difficult to find again. Well, after an hour and a half, this thing was still doing the restore.  When I finally got back home after going to church, the property and elsewhere, it was done with the system restore, but still didn't restore the old tabs.

So yes, church this morning.  And afterwards, looking for these "lost" guests that haven't been at their lot in at least a week now. Not just from my observations, but from reports from people who are nosy and look around at what's going on.  I don't mind nosy, actually, as long as it's not getting in people's face type of nosy.  They haven't seen anyone there "in a long time either".  

I left a printed notice on the one that is now 4 days overdue on rent, as well as a second email.  

Just tried to pay the electric bills.  It's not due until tomorrow but I fear I will get too busy tomorrow to remember it.  Well, I couldn't do it.  It came back with a statement saying that I can't go over $1,000.  I dunno why, my bank certainly doesn't put that kind of limit on online purchases, I know that from experience.  I'll have to call them tomorrow and find out how, exactly, I am supposed to pay the bill.

The dog.  Woke me up 7 or 8 times last  night shaking his head, flapping his ears and making a lot of noise.  I would guess he must have something going on inside his ears, I just happen to have ear cleaner and will be using it today.  Now? He's outside chasing the Shepherd mix mutt all over the yard.  She stops, he tries to mount her, she says no and that's that, lol. I don't remember if the female is fixed or not, I'm guessing the Dane doesn't care, he's still young and ....well let's leave that to the imagination.  

 Tomorrow? Yes, it's either get with the ditch witch or get the lots mowed or other things.  I'm feeling better, albeit still coughing.  I've got stuff to get done before I leave for Oregon and it will likely take all week to get everything I want done, done. The wire is taking high priority, but so is making sure the lots are cut down.  It rained, the grass came back to life and sprouted up quickly.  

Now? Just going to relax the rest of the day.  It's mid-afternoon. I plan on getting up earlier tomorrow morning to try and get in line with whatever schedule they have going for orientation but I will guess and assume it's 8:00 am start time and get up accordingly for that.  

I think that's it. Nothing to wordy today. 

 So, basically, the shed and trailers are overloading the main breaker.  That's the definitive conclusion after the dude said he went through the whole machine and I thought, hmmm, I wonder if it's this internal breaker thing built into these circuit breakers that is out? Because it wasn't showing it tripped.

Sure enough.  I flipped it a couple of times, turned the dryer on and walaah.  The machine pumping out hot air.  That seals it.  Time to get busy - Monday, the rental shop closes early on Saturdays and not open on Sundays - and dig that trench. It rained quite a lot last night, hopefully enough to moisten the soil enough to not have to spend hours and hours with that machine trying to dig out a trench. I have no choice at this point.  The real thing that is interesting is that replacing that main breaker is as expensive as buying and entire panel with a new breaker in it plus several other breakers included.

Why. 

Anyway, another 125 amp panel just running the 2 trailers will take the load off of that main breaker and we will be back to normal.  It can run the shed, it just can't run the shed and the trailers at the same time. If everything comes on all at once, which I'm assuming is the real issue - the water heater, the dryer, the ac in the shed and the 2 trailers - you have an overload.  Well, at least the breaker is doing what it was designed to do. But I kick myself for not just installing a 200 amp panel.  

But, I was only figuring the shed and maybe a couple of 120 volt outlets for 20 amp only, not 2 trailers running 30 amp.  Chalk it up to the fact I am not an electrician and lack of knowing the future.  So, I'll fix it, get it over with, be done with it.  The cooler temps, at least, will reduce the amount of time AC compressors will be on, at least.  

I got the camera off the tree today, brought it home, we plugged it in (we being James and I, he wanted to see as well) and....found a bunch of old videos and pics it had taken from 2 years ago. The memory card was full.  Gag.  It didn't take any pics of anything at the dumpster. So, he deleted what was on the card and I will take it back and try again.  However, the dumpster is not even half full, it's Saturday and that usually means it's filled up - excepting for the last 2 weeks since I've had the camera up.  

I was going to replace the deck belt for the riding mower yesterday at Tractor Supply - none of the belts they had showed anything for my brand.  This time, I'm going up there and measuring it - they have a  belt measuring device, and simply buy one that is the same length. I need the mower back in service.  

The shower stall leak - no idea, didn't get to that and no new puddles on the floor, people aren't really using it that much.  

The dog - I gave him another dose of pain meds and antibiotics, after today I will stop the pain meds but I'll finish the antibiotics out until they're gone. He has been outside a couple of hours and apparently not whining at the door. He has to get used to me being gone and being left outside at times when no one is home.  Sorry, doggy, that's just life around here.
