Friday - late morning

Yup, I just laid in bed watching a movie called the Covenant this morning.  Sort of deflated not going to work, I just blew everything off. Until now, that is.  The movie over, I went searching through reams of paperwork to find the boat motor title so I could tell the mechanic what year it is so he can order the correct water pump.  In the process, I found my birth certificate and my social security card, both in bags of junk papers where it shouldn't have been.  

They are now safely in my desk file cabinet where they can be easily found. The title were in the filing cabinet the entire time, the rest of the piles of papers I went through I decided much of it can be trashed. Not that I am going through all of that again today, I was looking for specific paperwork. A task I will start doing in the next couple of days, getting rid of old paperwork that really is rather useless now.  

Now that that is done and the information has been forwarded on. 

I tried to cancel my Progressive policy just a few minutes ago, yeah, no.  You have to go in and sign a form?  Whatever.  It's 2 blocks from the house.  I need that done before they charge my account $408.  I already paid the $257 to Allstate so yea, I don't need 2 policies.  

Now? Well, I was going to go over and work with the tractor but I am putting that off. I'm going outside, getting that tree junk off of my trailer and have it free to go.  Just realized the truck doesn't have a hitch on it. It has the receiver, it needs a ball and the insert into the receiver.  I guess I can just switch the one I have on my SUV back and forth for whatever I'm trying to do.  I'd like to pull the trailer with the truck and see if it's got any better handling. It's heavy trailer, the SUV can handle it but I do wonder if the truck might do better.

Anyway, I need that trailer available for my next potential move. It's either materials to build the first cover or get a hot tub - or both.  Or none.  I'm still kind of wondering if it's the correct move and I really sort of don't have an answer for that.  

What I keep saying I need and definitely do is more people living in the park.  I may drive over to the new competitor today and see what's up over there. Is he taking my potential clients? And if he is, how is he doing it? He isn't giving a better deal tho he does have big trees, that may be the allure for people and there is nothing I can do about that.  Well, beyond putting up RV carports.  I've figured that it will cost $735 for the materials, not including lag bolts, screws, hardware in other words.  Add $100 anyway to that.  Probably need a new cordless drill, add another $75 or so for that. 

In fact, probably going to need several new tools.  Harbor Freight!

So yes, I'm going to go outside and drag all of that stuff off of that trailer and get it freed up. It's been sitting there for months like that.  I want to drag the ATV to another shop that is "highly recommended" and see if that person can get the thing running. I really miss the use of it.  It is a highly useable tool in performing tasks at the park and I haven't had use of it for quite a while now.  Supposedly, this shop is the best in the area.  

Supposedly.

What else....nothing. I may end up over at the park and work with the tractor anyway. I want to scoop up gravel from the back of the driveway where nothing ever drives over it and fill in some holes near the front.  While I have the use of the tractor. 

I have watched zero news today.  I saw yesterday that the Hamas leader that masterminded the October 7th massacre of innocent Israeli citizens was killed.  I don't wish death on anyone, really but if I did, that man would be near the top of the list for the brutality of the assault.  Bin Laden was up there on that list as well.  Iranian leaders could also be on that list.  These aren't just dictators or tyrants, they are murderers.  I always have to try and restrain myself on such thoughts because the Bible says that the Lord would have all come unto him, that none should die. Salvation, that is. Christ came for all of us, we don't all accept or even believe in Him (I definitely do, just making that clear here).  He knew that when he came, but that didn't stop Him at all.  

Anyway, I think I'll get the trailer emptied and probably get the hitch on the truck from the SUV - I have it parked at the RV park, I won't have 2 vehicles sitting out here in front of the house, just too much of an eyesore.  Oh, and drag the trailer over there as well.  I don't want it parked here either, it's just in the way.  I didn't park it where it is currently sitting, but I do want to deal with it while I have the time and the sort-of motivation.

With that, I'm offa here. Typing on a keyboard is not going to get that task accomplished. I'm sure I'll do some more blogging later on today.

G'day
