Tuesday - early

Yesterday, I was supposed to go fill out the forms to get the septic system process started. Instead, I was stuck at that plant for 3-1/2 hours, waiting.  "I have to load a truck it'll take an hour" ended up taking 1-1/2 hours, then load then another hour to do paperwork.  Why? Because their system wasn't loading required information properly.  

Anyway, that's where that is stuck.  I have to go to Gurdon today but usually I'm home relatively early for that.  Right now, I am trying to find someone to do dozer work, I am going to get a quote from my contractor when he comes out to look at where to place the septic tanks.  

I've been finding it hard to get back into the pushup routine ever since I got sick - twice in a row.  I'm slowly getting back into it, but the idea of doing them somehow isn't that great.  Yet, the outcome wasn't bad at all, that's what will motivate me to get full fledged back into it again.  I just want to start doing them earlier which will make it more appealing. 

There isn't a lot else in my mind right now.  The idea of expanding the property has been occupying my mind since I decided I was going to go for it, do it as much by myself as possible and get this thing going the direction I want and need it to.  When you read about SS and it's alleged fate if Congress does nothing about it, there is a likelihood that it's going to run out of funding and then it's completely reliant on workers paying into it.

The problem is that there is a large number of baby boomers in the system, more than there are workers to fund it, according to the data I have read anyway.. So, you start looking at losing 25% of your payments every month.  I don't know how much I would get in payments, but whatever it is, I'm guessing it's not even enough in and of itself to pay for everything much less taking 25% off of it. This was the motivation to get into a business from the get-go.  

Get the operation up to around 50 or more lots, get them filled up, stop the trucking nonsense and just focus on the business from that point forth.  These 14 lots will get me up to 28.  14 more would get me close.  I guess the goal would be 56 with 4 septic systems.  That would probably be the end of it.  56 would be plenty of money after all expenses, employees and taxes.  I think, anyway, I'd need an accountant to review all of that, not there yet and no need for it - yet. 

Anyway, time to get ready to leave for work. Trucking work, that is.  Hopefully back early enough to get over to the contractor's office.

G'day.
