Monday - night
Getting kind of late but I haven't posted an entry in several days. In fact, the last entry didn't go through for whatever reason.
Anyway, the park was completely full, but now I have lot 1 open and I"m not sure what I want to do with it. I have some reservations I need to honor but they aren't any time soon. I'd like to rent it long term, however, everyone else at the park now is all long term. Yes, someone could leave, no doubt, I have no guarantee of that. I just opened that lot up, the people staying there said their house purchase went through.
They left this morning for Florida, then Minnesota and then to their new home in Nacogdoches. Well, I might get some overnighters in there now that I've opened it up, we'll see.
Trey has been gone 3 days now. I am seriously considering revoking this park host setup with him and just doing away with it altogether. It wasn't my idea in the first place, that was Allen's, Trey's now-passed father. He did ok, Allen that is, Trey is a liar and a thief I am just now finding out.
I had my suspicions. He's cutting up wood from felled trees, splitting it and then selling it to people in the park. He didn't say anything about the fact that he is profiting from my wherewithal and actually lied about it. One of the guests has a huge stack of wood next to his trailer. I was looking at it last week and Trey told me he bought it from someone who delivered it.
I found out yesterday that Trey sold the wood he's been cutting to the guy. Trey is also one of the people throwing cigarettes butts all over the place. Basically, he doesn't give a s*** about anything but his own desires, which is what he's doing now. He went to Fort Worth to have sex with his best friend's wife. Now, the best friend is dead. But that, to me, is just creepy. Trey thinks I'm stupid. He doesn't understand I have eyes and ears in the park and people report things to me.
Trey hasn't been doing much for the park, either. We're talking mowing the grass once in the last 2 plus months. It didn't need it. He tries to tell me he cleans the bathroom, but one look at the toilet tells a completely different story. He doesn't pick up trash all over the place and basically, as I said, he's just doing stuff for himself. He'll happily do mechanical work and get paid for it. I'm sure there's more I don't know about, I'm going to confront him the next time I see him.
How can you trust a liar? He's completely unmotivated in life and I'm just getting to the point he needs to go. He does serve some useful purposes, but the cons are outweighing the pros.
Yesterday, we went to the 50th anniversary of the church. It was a truly great service, I really enjoyed it. They went through the history of the church, sounds boring but it wasn't.
I'm just trying to catch up here quick. I need to go to bed soon. Going up to Gurdon in the morning to deliver. I am working through Saturday and then presumably Sunday off. I actually have the second load tomorrow but the other driver said he has to be home by noon for whatever reason so he plans to be up there early. He said he'd be there at 7 or 8. I figure if I arrive at 10, I should be safe. 10 is the actual appointment time for the first load and I typically don't show up until after 11 on the second run.
Oh, the truck heater is stuck at one setting. Vehicle heaters are pretty simple affairs. The hot coolant from the engine is diverted through hoses to a radiator type thing that the hot coolant travels through. Air is blown through that little radiator via a fan and then it blows out your vents. When you adjust the temp for the heat, you are actually just opening and closing a valve. The valve restricts the amount of fluid traveling through it. All the way open is hot air all the way closed is no heat at all. Those valves get stuck sometimes, especially old valves, and then you have to go in and replace it.
That's an hours-long job. It hasn't been an issue until today. Why? Because it's been cold outside and so I've needed the heat. But temps have risen quite a lot and now we are going to be seeing 70's range temps, which is crazy considering the freezing cold we just got done with.
Anyway, I've got to get off of here.
