 Monday - 7:30 am

Maybe I should be changing the name of this blog.  The RV Trucker. RV Park Trucker? 

My middle brother has resurfaced on Facebook after many, many years. We don't talk.  I mean, yes he had a life-changing encounter with near-death experience after having a Covid booster shot and yes we talked a few times, but I'm not going to be the one that always initiate the conversation.  He is the one that left Facebook in a huff, puff and a storm, he can show a little more initiative to want to have anything to do with his own brothers. 

Or not.  It was funny how quickly Facebook showed me a "people you might know" pic of him and suggestion to add as a friend. Uh, no.  This is all on him.  He started from scratch, too, he had just gotten back on and had 6 friends so far.  I'm sure that number will grow into the several hundreds.  I don't even know what he's doing.  He's old enough to retire.  

Anyway, I have the late load today and every time I show down there earlyish for the second load, I always end up waiting for an hour or much longer. Might as well wait at home.  I say that now, then 9:00 am will roll around and I'll say, oh well, I'm leaving, just wait in the truck if I have to.  I get the feeling that I'm missing out on an earlier load time and instead of having this drag out all day long, I could be getting it all done.

However.  Having had to wait several times for near a couple of hours before they even start loading me in recent times plus the 8-1/2 hour day waiting? I am going to try to force myself to just wait here.  I just want it done and that doesn't happen sitting at home.  A loader told another driver yesterday that to "expect it to take a couple hours" to load the truck. That's not waiting for them to get to them, that's how long it will take to load "because we are still having problems".  Why don't they just shut that thing down, take it all apart and fix it?  That's what they normally do.  

Paypal tricked me last time. A few people pay me via paypal - I'll take my money any way they want to send it and both Paypal and Cashapp are very popular, so is cash.  In fact, I'm hardly using credit card portal at all now, excepting online reservations.  Anyway, Paypal changed how they are showing you getting your money transferred and I just clicked on the tab and walaah, they took like $13 out to have it deposited instantly.

I don't need the money deposited instantly, I'll save that 13 dollars, thanks.  Took a few clicks to get it to bypass the instant deposit thing.  They are just like a bank: whatever they get in on any given day is money available to be loaned out.  

SCOTUS.  They are going to dole out their decision regarding presidential immunity.  "Only minutes away" is the headline on the tv, of which I am casually watching as I have had enough of the Biden quitting or staying headlines.  This ruling should be fascinating.  If they find for the Presidential, where will the lines be drawn?  I'm sort of thinking they won't find for him, or some very limited scenarios where it might be allowable.  I just don't know, some of the greatest legal/constitutional minds on the planet sit on that panel and they very often come out with interpretations I either didn't think of or didn't think they would decide in that direction.  

If they find for Trump, invariably there will be a dissenting opinion coming from liberal justices.  I'm 99% sure the leftist judges will find against him, regardless of their intent or motivations to make such a decision.  So, I'm watching the news atm waiting for this decision to be released and then the news people to sift through the decision and then, over the next few days, skew it to whatever way they are affiliated in political parties.

I don't know what else.  I'm rather scatter-brained at the moment. Work today, the park, finances, relationships, vacation coming up, mom, brother, etc, lots of things scurrying around in my mind, but I did read the Bible for a short time just a few minutes ago, a thing I am determined to do with more frequency and just focus on the Lord.  Eternity awaits.  

G'day.

Well I'm not in unforgiveness. Tho scripture does orient that a person should actually ask for it. I just think he should show some initiative and contact me for once instead of me continuously having to contact him. I don't much care for lopsided relationships, if I have to always be the one reaching out, one starts to wonder if the other party is even interested in having any kind of relationship at all.

 Not long ago, I was ready to cancel Dish at this house permanently.  I didn't mean to replace it with Directv, I was just going to get ...
