Well, the trailer isn't terrible anyway. Dirty, I told them to wash it but it's in good shape. This is the new people. I didn't know they had 4 yip dogs. I educated them on that as well.  I was pretty direct: clean up after your dogs immediately. No poop left anywhere, there are dog poop bags right there and a trash can.  No excessive barking.  Are you friendly people?  Oh yes.  They seemed like they were, but I'm going to get down to the nuts and bolts of this right away.  The man wants to do some work. I don't mind giving them some money off their rent in exchange for working.  However, I collected the first month's rent up front.  

I have no way of knowing whether he will actually work or not and I am not giving them a break until I see how he does.  Grass and trimming, that would be a big help.  Other stuff as well.  

During that time, a dude called telling me he is with so and so contractors, he needs to fill up a 300 gallon tank.  How much will you charge?  I have no idea.  I don't really want to get into the water business, it won't make any money, but the water is readily available.  I said 15, he said 10, I said fine.  So, he showed up and yes, filled up a 300 gallon tank. They spray gas pipe line easements for weeds.  I just did it to help them out, there is no money to be made in selling water nor did the thought ever cross my mind.  I dunno what made him call an RV park, I guess his experience tells him he has the best luck going that route.  They are not from around here.  

So now, it's just get ready for tomorrow.  Take the kid to school tomorrow, we're worried his school bus won't get to school in time and the bus leaves whether anyone that should be there is there or not.  So, if we leave their normal time to get on the bus, I will have him there 30 minutes early.  I will likely just take off for Dallas after that, if I have to wait, I will take my laptop with me so I can pass the time.  

Another tractor company quoted me far higher than even John Deere.  Amazingly ridiculous.  I guess I'm too cheap for this?  No.  I just know what I can afford.  This is all new machinery, not what I want.  Just can't find anyone selling used with financing.  Half the price. This guy quoted me a higher monthly payment and a 10 year installment loan. There is no way  I am getting involved with a 10 year loan, 7 sounded ridiculous, this even more so.  He says zero interest, so I am assuming extremely inflated pricing.  

I mean, I'd take the John Deere - trusted name for many, many decades over this foreign stuff. Just me. I have owned foreign made vehicles, not bad, not great, I'm a Chevy person when it comes to vehicles even tho I own a Ford SUV.  Just what was available at the time and I didn't feel like spending weeks/months looking.  

Anyway, I'm in no rush for a tractor. I'd love to have one, but it's just not in the cards right now.  I'll just have to rent one again to fix the driveway again.

Many hours later.  One call for a lot today, they put it in the system today and just showed up, lol. Well, no biggies, I was over there and had no clue they were coming. I don't check my email all day long, but I do check it frequently enough, I get a notification if there is reservation.  Big ole' giant motor coach pulling a 20 foot trailer, walled/enclosed.  Who knows what they had in there, probably a car or motorcycles at least.  Diesel pusher, expensive.  As I have been saying for some time, these people spend the big bucks on their toys but boy howdy do they want to tell everyone about high prices for overnight stays! Hence, I get enough traffic coming through on those types of people wanting cheaper prices.  

Time to wind down and get ready for bed. The SUV is filled with gas, vacuumed out and washed. Did all of that a little while ago, she needed a bath and a good vacuuming, which is free with the wash.  This place also has air chucks at every vacuum station, you can check all of your tire air pressure, which I'm glad I did, one of them has a slow leak and was at 25 pounds - it should be at 50.  I put it at 55 since it's a leaker that Ive had fixed how many times now? I think it's time for a pair of tires for the back of this boat.  Actually, it's time to replace all 4.
