Wednesday - semi-early
I went to bed early last night so waking up at 5:00 am wasn't a big deal. The dog wants out, I'm putting him out. There is nothing worse than a Great Dane blowing up - in your room. Been there, done that, don't want a repeat. This dog hasn't done that. Doesn't mean he won't. The oldest kid also likes when I'm up and discussing the day and just chit-chatting about nothing in particular.
I didn't want today and tomorrow off. I had 3 days off, 2 days on and now 2 more days off? I mean, even if they do start paying me more, that's not going to be realized on the next paycheck with all of this time off.
Last night, I checked the weather report. It said 0% chance of rain. ZERO percent. So what do I see on it this morning? 57% chance and then changed to 79%. So far, no rain and after the next hour or so, it disappears. I hope it doesn't rain, I have plans for over there today and rain is not a part of that plan. No, rain is the party crasher that cancels the plans and forces me to do something else.
Trump took Michigan on the Republican side yesterday, that was expected and I doubt Haley is going to see much else during Super Tuesday. I do see the point for her now that she's been in this this long, might as well do Super Tuesday, I doubt it's going to be some shocking upset in her favor. I would think after that, she will drop out instead of dragging this out.
You see, I am not a fan of Trump's demeanor, but I am a fan of his results. The left can malign him all they want, but we didn't have this border chaos going when he was President. We had some measure of world dominance. Our economy wasn't as screwed as it is now, leftist declarations of how great it is be damned. I see stuff on the supermarket shelves whose cost has risen considerably in the last year and just shake my head. That bottle of shampoo is now $4 more than it was 2 years ago. I had to take a double take at that yesterday. Almost $11 for a bottle of shampoo. Trump isn't interested in getting us into wars. I don't know how he would have handled Ukraine, but I doubt it would be what it is now.
I think I was going to start doing this a while back but I never really followed through with it, I am now. I am tired of people wanting to reserve a spot but they don't pay up in advance. This gives them the option to show up - or not show up, holding up a lot which may have been wanted by someone else. As was last night, when the motor coach just showed up - he didn't even call until he was there - I just happened to have that back-in site available because a short termer left. Trying to replace that one as quick as possible.
So this dude calls just now, he wants to reserve a spot. Sure, are you paying in advance? Yes. It's as simple as that and I don't have to worry about it. If he doesn't show, that's on him, the money is mine. That spot is held for him until noon tomorrow. Show or not show, I have my money out of it.
Maybe I'm safe, threat of rain is passing, like within the next half hour and nothing so far. I'm really not looking for an excuse not to do anything, but rest assured if this was going to be an all day rain day? Sit home, drink some coffee, do some paperwork, work on other things, thanks.
It seems unlikely that I will make it to another of these pathetic paychecks without taking an owner's draw out of the business account. If, after all of this talk about higher pay, it doesn't materialize next paycheck, we - the manager and I - will be discussing his promise and what happened to it.
That's pretty much where my mind is. If I didn't have to take money out of the business account, I would be able to pay the property tax with maybe a small amount put on credit card. It does help that the electric bill - due on the 10th of next month - is about $700 less than last month's bill. But, we are in the middle now. Getting warm during the daytime, people are running AC units.
Lol, now they've moved it up to almost noon for rain and no rain now. I give up on it, time to get over there and get to work.
G'day
