 Friday - early afternoon

Amazing.  I got to the washout and the only one there was the manager. I knew I wouldn't be there long, he'll want to spend more time chit chatting than cleaning out the tanker lol.  Out of there quickly, down to Lufkin, into the plant and the same dude that has been taking forever was there again today.  I just resigned myself to having to sit around for 3 hours and that would be that.

However. It did not turn out that way. There were no other trucks in there that needed to be loaded.  I got into the loading bay and he was out there in 3 minutes.  I wasn't even at the plant for an hour.  

Back to my yard, a bit cranky admittedly.  I did not sleep well last night at all and that is likely due to an overly enthusiastic workout regimen.  I did 170 pushups instead of the 100 plus the other stuff I had done and it just kept me awake.  I only did that because I completely spaced and missed the previous day.  Today, it will be back to 100 pushups and maybe some curls and that's it.  

I got on the park host's case for parking that tractor in front of his trailer. No, no and no.  After that, these new people with the ugly porch and junk laying everywhere? Yup, I got on their case as well. For being a manager of an RV park previously, she certainly didn't seem to grasp the concept of clean and decent looking.  Looks more like a trailer trash mobile home park.  I gave her a list of things that need to be done, including getting that stacked washer/dryer setup out of my park immediately. They certainly didn't ask me about bringing it in there and I would have emphatically stated a big sized NO! - well maybe not that dramatic - but I would have said no, lol. 

They actually agreed without putting up a fuss.  I do have a reputation about not tolerating crappy living conditions, but they are new there so unless someone told them about that, they certainly didn't try standing up to me.  Trust me, people will try to stand up to you even when they are wrong and they know that they are wrong. Their attitude determines the type of response I give them, lol.

And this morning. This computer - it just sat there with a blank screen.  I had turned it on and after a half an hour, it was still blank. So, doing what I do and taking the risk (this is an older computer at this point) I just turned it off and turned it back on.  Then it said "Automatic repair", I knew what all this meant. The thing did and auto-update without my permission and then it just sits there and gives you a blank screen forever. Well, it finally got to "try restarting the computer" when I got home today and walaah, here we are.  Because I can tell ya, I was ready to go buy another one if this thing wasn't going to work.

Oh, I also spread 50 pounds of rye grass seed out front before I even came into the house. 

And now? No thanks.  No thanks to what? Anything else, that's what.  I'm going to take a nice hour long nap. There is no one home, I only need bring the dog in.  I have learned. You leave that big ole' dog outside and eventually? He's going to start barking. He is a very large dog, when he barks, you are definitely going to hear it - or in my case - be awakened from a nice, refreshing nap.
