Thursday - night

Just a quick one here, it's getting late and I've been busy literally all day long. Just the last 2 hours or so I've had some down time. Well not even 2 hours.

Started out going to Nac to get the trailer washout, then Lufkin to load - they got me right in and right out thankfully. That doesn't happen every time and when it does, I start planning what I'm going to do with all of that "extra" time.

Well that's easy. Got back to the Park, hooked up the trailer and went 2 towns over to get the new riding mower.  Was almost home when the repair dude for the dryer called.  "I'm here".  Mind you, no one ever called me back yesterday to schedule a time and day when they were going to come out....

So instead of going home, I went back to the park and hung out there until he fixed it. Some sort of thermal fuse.  Plus, I had him change the price. It was $2.50 for the washer and dryer combined.  Just not enough money for washing, there are too many costs involved with running just those 2 machines.

First, the electric water heater. Second, the water.  Third, the AC in the shed.  4th, electric dryer/heat. And then there is the occasional septic pump out that costs a small fortune whenever it's got to be done.  I'm actually hoping the usage of it will go down, The laundry is just a convenience.  I don't know how much they are charging at laundromats, but the dude told me I am not charging anything near what I should be.

All well and good, but I didn't raise the price as much as he was suggesting.  It's now $3.50 to do a load of wash - that includes the washer and dryer.  It was $2.50. Sorry, I'm not in business to lose money and I really don't care if anyone doesn't like it, there is a laundromat 2 miles down the road.  

After that, I took the new mower home, backed into the yard and that's where it's spending the night. I do not trust leaving that thing over at the property, to leave it at home will be a huge pain to load it up and take it over there, I just don't have anywhere to store it safe over there.  I suppose I could at least put a giant chain and padlock around it over there?  I think I'd lose sleep.  

In the house, ended up making dinner. After dinner, we went to the 10 year old's class performance, they were doing it at the local high school auditorium. And finally? Home. 

That's it.  I'm outta here, time for bed.
