 Wednesday - late

I ended up driving over there a few minutes ago to collect from the newest addition to the park.  Nice guy, really nice doggy, good looking trailer.  We talked for a while and then I did a drive around the park to check things out.  Mark has not come out of his trailer that I have seen since we had it out.  I haven't seen him out of on the camera, either.  If I don't see him out of that trailer tomorrow, I'm going to start asking if anyone has seen him come out of there and if not, I may call the sheriff to do a welfare check.  

The park is full if only temporarily. The overnight lot is booked up until the 15th.  It is all blocked off on the reservation software grid so people can't book a night. I hate to turn overnighters away, but that's the story temporarily. I suspect another guy that came in about 3 weeks ago will leave with Mark. They both hit it off right off the bat.  I don't really care who leaves with him, tho I really don't suspect anyone but perhaps that guy will.  Things seem to work out lately that someone leaves and then it's not too much time and someone else comes in.  

The lady in the trailer behind the shed said she wanted to move her new trailer onto lot 2 on the 14th or the 20th.  Well, unless Mark leaves - and if I have to force the issue I am going to - but if he's not gone by then she is going to have to wait until the 20th.  She never gave me a definitive date after asking her a couple of times, I am going to make the money there is to be made until she takes it.  I'd just as soon keep lot 1 open for overnighters anyway.  It's good for the experience of coming into the park and having a really nice lot to stay at. 

So that's that.  Today was akin to a Monday.  People driving crazy and stupid.  I was in a town about to pass a pickup when another one came zooming up in the slow lane - this is a town mind you, not the open highway and just started moving over.  He would have hit the front of my truck had I not hit the brakes hard.  I could have just let him run into me, but I thought better of that idea.  Let the idiots drive like idiots, I don't want to get entangled with them. It wasn't like I had been sitting in the passing lane for 10 minutes, I had gotten over there to pass the pickup when this other guy did that.  

Another one pulled directly out in front of me from a driveway on a 70mph 2 lane highway where there was a passing lane where they cut me off. Fortunate for the passing lane. And a few others that did some crazy stuff, it's a daily thing but today there was a lot of it.  

The day is done, I have to go to Gurdon in the morning and am scheduled through Monday. But, it seems like every time they try to do this, a load gets canceled or something happens.  I don't really want to work on Sunday, then again, I didn't work for 5 days straight so I will eat it and work it without complaint - if it actually happens.  

And with that? I am off to bed. Tired and feeling it. 

 Friday late-morning Typical morning when there is no work.  It was, I should say, until the new guy called.  "There's nothing wron...
