Tuesday - night

Getting late.  Just finished cleaning the kitchen, running the dishwasher and made dinner earlier.  20 more pushups and I'm done with those for the day as well.

One thing I absolutely do not like, at all, is having to chase guests down for rent.  This is the long term people.  No one in the park now besides one does that. Everyone else seeks me out, as they should. If you are in a rental situation with a landlord, you don't think, gee, I 'll wait and see if they ask me for it.  You know what will happen. They will charge you late fees and if you keep on with it, they will issue you and eviction notice.

This guy is a friend of the family. Not my personal friend, per se, but of the folks living here.  But enough is enough.  I just sent him a text asking him when he's going to pay the rent. Well, I sent it half an hour ago and have heard nothing back. If he keeps it up, I'm giving him a 3 day eviction notice.  This is not a game I am willing to play.  Pay the rent or leave.    It's not even that much.  

The trucking day went by  - well I didn't much care for it. It rained all the way to Gurdon, the entire time up there and most of the way back.  I got wet and I was ready to just go to bed for a while when I got home this afternoon. Which was all well and fine until the smoke detector went off. Our oven needs a deep cleaning badly.  It's just one of those things where you turn it on and you're lucky if it doesn't start smoking. It's on the list to get cleaned. I'm not even sure how you go about doing that, I think they sell some seriously bad ( as in, works very well) stuff that will eat the junk out of there.  

I'll be googling that and find out what the best approach is.  I want it completely clean.  

My manager sent me work for the next 7 days.  2 more loads in a row, Sunday off and then late load on Monday/Tuesday.  After that, I"m going to want this truck fixed.   It's cooled down again so heat only is fine in the truck, but that isn't going to last forever.  It's supposed to start raining here again in the next half hour and basically rain all night long and all the way up  until around noon. So, another lovely rainy day. I do like rainy days, when I can stay home, sleep in and enjoy the sounds while having to do nothing. I do not enjoy it while having to drive and loading and such.  

 I didn't ask for that schedule, btw, I think it has something to do with the fact that I worked 3 weekends in a row during Christmas and I was bringing that up for the 50th anniversary of our church.  Like, I want to be there and I don't want to be working.  

Anyway, the mechanic says that none of the shops are going to be able to fix the problem, you're going to have to bring it here.  I concurred, actually. Don't much care for driving up there but when there is something that needs fixed that needs an expert in these particular trucks, that guy is the one to go to and not have to go to endless shops or spend forever trying to get it fixed.

Everything else is good, or good enough anyway.  I just stand in awe of the transformation of the federal government that is occurring under the Trump administration  They are all on the same page and the change in such a short period of time is stunning.  They are working at such a rapid past, it's hard to keep up with all of it. The news constantly changes.  One head is doing this, then the next head is doing that, Trump signing executive orders, DOGE doing an amazing job finding garbage, especially with USAIDS. Good riddance to it.  Homan is attempting to find out who the leak is that is giving out liberal cities intel on raids ICE are going to do in major cities.  They think it's someone in the FBI.

Fancy that.  The FBI. Dems are still losing their minds over all of this, but especially DOGE.  What do they have to hide? Because all they are doing  is seeking out waste and fraud.  And boy have they found a lot of it and they are just getting started.  Now Trump wants to get rid of a lot of federal employees, something that we needed to do long ago. A bloated government consuming so much of our income.  There are ways to bring the deficit down, the amount we spend just keeping the government running is definitely a major one.  

Well, that's enough. Time to go to bed.
