Wednesday 8:55 am
Well, kiss those days off goodbye. I should be sleeping in right now and yes, I'll sleep in until 9 or even 10 am on the rare days where there is no one home, which is the current standing of the house right now.
I'll be New York democrat politicians are gleeful that Remington is moving an ammunition plant out of their state. You know, drive even more business out of the state? Kind of like AOC when she rejoiced that Amazon decided against building a sprawling campus in New York, she was happy because - reasons, her version of them. Oh, yes, it was because they were going to be given huge tax breaks in exchange for all the money the setup was going to dump into the local and state economy.
Oh, and take a look at California. A near 80 billion dollar budget deficit. Hmmm, guess those ridiculous, overbearing and outrageous tax and regulation policies aren't working out too well for them, either. They don't learn, either - or they don't care. I keep hearing "California is the 5th largest economy in the world" garbage, so that apparently gives them right and license to run their state like a socialist sh**hole.
BTW, Christ didn't command governments to feed and help the needy and poor, He commanded His followers to do all of that. Which is what a lot of us do even on top of all of this regulation and taxation. That's another blasting that the left rails against the right about, I thought I would set the record straight. Government is not the end all, it certainly doesn't go out on the streets to find people and talk with them and find out where they're coming from and what they need or what they even want to do.
You'll find that many homeless don't want off the streets. I learned this decades ago.
Anyway, another 3 hour, 5 minute drive each way to the Crossett plant today, what fun. And, of course, the late load. They apparently won't give me the early load, I don't know why and I haven't asked, but if they keep dumping this stuff on me, I'm definitely going to say something. I dont want to be out til 5, 6, 7 or even 8 or later o'clock at night. At least mix it up and throw me a bone and give me one earlier load? Actually, please just get us back on the Gurdon run, I'll be a much happier person.
I get paid tonight, after midnight. Just going to see what's in there and make decisions based off of that. The decision, of course, as to how I am going to pay this property tax.
Oh, I'm watching Nikki Haley blabbering about how she's not quitting, how the polls are irrelevant, how she will keep going on regardless of what is going to happen in SC. Now, I'm no big fan of polls either, but when the differences are that great - Trump V Haley - I'll give them a little credence and figure that Trump is going to win it and probably every other state of importance and she is going to lose. I think she thinks that if she stays in it, her popularity is going to increase. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but I have serious doubts she is going to come anything close to winning the republican nomination and if she does, the party will probably dump her anyway.
I don't allow politics to take over my entire days, not anymore anyway, but I am keeping up with it. There is a lot going on, Trump getting fined 355 plus million dollars, an outrageous sum of money that will set a very bad precedent. A victimless crime whose judge based his rationale on faulty reasoning - I think he's just another Trump hater tbh - the entire thing needs to be overturned.
Whatever the case, I need to figure out when, exactly, I'm going to be able to mow the grass over there. It's getting pretty good and long. People start getting unhappy about it and it doesn't look good. I won't hire anyone to do it because I'm afraid they will shoot rocks at something, cause damage and then the tenant will come after me for the damages. From what I've read, that's how it works, the tenant comes after you and you have to go after the contractor.
However and as regular readers will know, the top priority and thing weighing on my mind is taxes. I can only hope tomorrow's check is as big as I hope it is going to be - I have definitely been putting in the hours - and if it isn't, I dunno. I just have to hand it go God as I said the other day. I can't be stressing that bad over something I don't have a lot of control over. I think what I will do, anyway, is take the washer/dryer payment and save it towards taxes next year. I was already paying that and it will come close to paying it. I know I said other things before about saving, it just isn't in the cards. Not yet. I need to be able to meter the electric use to significantly increase my income.
It takes money to make money.
On that note, the newest addition, he's a man that's stayed at my park several times now, was chit chatting with me about this situation. Look at all the land you have, you can just expand! Yeah, if I had the money for it. I suggested that interest rates are far too high to do that right now and he immediately agreed and then said, "btw, let me show you something".
His trailer is backed up to the tent lady's trailer. He takes me over and shows me their sewer line. It was brand new 5 months ago, now? Flattened from "someone" walking on top of it and had several, very large holes in it. There was pee and poop on the ground. Disgusting.
I immediately went to their door and ushered her to the site of the ridiculousness. She tried to claim that she "didn't know it was leaking". The valve to empty that holding tank is right there, that is a bold-faced lie. It smelled really bad, which is what got the man going in the first place. He said he sat down to eat dinner and had this smell come wafting into his nose, he went out to investigate, thinking it was his setup. He did not know people were even living in that motor coach. I have it set up so her door faces the doggy park, the opposite side of his trailer so the 2 will not have to encounter each other.
In other words, I bit of privacy. I flatly told her to not dump the holding tank again until they fix that. And kept pointing at the line, obviously people have been walking on top of it. The only people that go back there is them. This guy was very kind, he had an extra line and offered it to them. I told them to take care of it right away. Went and got the water hose and watered it down quite a bit to at least thin it out. I'm taking bleach over there this morning and get a different smell going there by dumping bleach on it.
I'm watching the news right now, in the last month they've had 20,000 Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border. And a bunch from Russia.
Time to go.
G'day
