Tuesday - early
Long day yesterday.
Long because I wasn't feeling good. I think I was on the road a total of 7 hours, but when I got back to the yard, it became too much. The driveway has some big pot holes and I at least needed to put some dirt in them if nothing else.
So I hooked up the trailer, went to one of the dirt piles and shoveled dirt onto it, took it to some potholes, filled them in, decided to get more dirt, fill more and then? I was toast. I just wasn't feeling good and decided I could just do some of this stuff on the shorter driving days. Today will not be a shorter driving day since it's more miles and usually a longer offload time.
The weird people are leaving. This is the mother and her 50-something year old son that almost never come out of that motor coach. I knew they wouldn't last long just had no idea how long "not long" would be. They gave no reason but they are unhappy people and find fault with everything. Their neighbor was throwing food out the door, I got that stopped. The man came out glaring at me the other afternoon after pulling in with the truck.
Not sorry. I need this job, I have to have a place to park the truck. I have 25 acres, I'm not paying for a place to park when I have ample room on my land. If he wanted to say something to my face, he could have. I just assume that this was the last straw for them as they were complaining about the last place they stayed when they came in, they will probably complain about my place at where they're going. Perhaps they are moving to my new competitor, who knows. Can't make everyone happy, always have to remember that. Most people are happy at my place, but some people will find fault with anything and everything.
I just hope they don't leave a negative review on Google. Especially if they complain about something park related and never even tried to contact management about it first.
I have a prospect coming today for the lot that was made available from the worker that left. He said "I'm new at this" referring to RV'ing. I didn't get too personal, just figured he decided to live in an RV instead of renting houses or apartments - or - couldn't find anything decent in town at an affordable price. I mean, an 800 square foot house renting at $1,500 and people are actually paying it? Crazy.
Up to Gurdon today, I do hope it is the same as the last trip: get the offload done in about an hour. Previous trips were hours, just a waste of time. I don't want detention pay, I want to get in and get out. That was the point of this job, day trips that didn't take too long.
I have grass that needs mowing but I dunno if I'm going to do any of that today, it really depends on what time I get back and more importantly, how I feel. It's not terribly long, it can wait a few more days if need be.
Other than that and all that is going on in this world, just cruising along over here. Need to get ready to leave.
G'day
