Wednesday - afternoon

The day off that isn't a day off.  

I called a place yesterday to have the dryer fixed, they said sure, bring it down we'll be there in the morning.  It's 25 miles each way.  I got there and....no one there. I called and called and called them, left them messages and even got on their facebook page and dm'ed them.  That was hours ago and I still haven't received a reply.  

I started making a lot of phone calls in their parking lot, I need to drop this thing somewhere and get it fixed.  I was going to just buy another one and keep this one for the expansion, but lo and behold the soonest any kind of coin operated dryer can arrive is at the end of the month. That is quite a long time from now and I just can't have that at all.  

I was directed from one place to another - via phone of course - until I finally found a professional repair place that only services business.  I do not have an appointment with them, I was told the field techs set their own schedules and one of them will be getting back to me.  I'll give it til 4:00 pm, then I'll call back again.  I never heard back from anyone?

After driving all the way back from there, I went to Tractor Supply to pick up the assembled push mower, took that to the park, unloaded it and the dryer.  Way too wet to mow today, it was raining heavily yesterday and it's gonna be a minute before everything is dry again.  

I then headed 2 towns over, discussed a Bad Boy riding mower, zero turn with the salesman and then signed the paperwork. It's $155 per month versus at least $400 per month to pay someone else to do it.  Unfortunately, the trailer I took over there isn't wide enough for the mower, I'll have to go back tomorrow. Yes, I could go back today but I've wasted an entire day with stuff that just grinds at me and I'm done.  At least with that stuff.  

It's just gonna be this way with everything until I get it all over and done with.  I actually planned on spending half the day mowing today, that just went to pot when it started pouring rain yesterday and there is still water running down the driveway at the park.  That's another project I'll need to fix and it will be done when I have to rent a mini ex to dig  the trenches for the utilities for the new lots. . I'll dig a trench across the driveway and lay some pipe that will drain the water so that it doesn't keep destroying the driveway surface every time it rains.
