Wednesday - evening
Forced myself to man up today, get whatever energy I could muster and get stuff done. Work, obviously, but that is a granted. After work, it was the dude cleaning out the Ford. It was a mess and I'm getting it all readied up to either sell it or start using it again. Either way, it's not going to just sit there. That's how vehicles go bad and start falling apart. Then the dozer operator - who lives in the park - came up and we spent a couple hours discussing the project, walking the entire area where I want the work done, explaining what I want out and what I don't want out.
Do NOT, under any circumstances, take down ANY pine trees! We added oak trees to that mix and anything, really, besides those sweetgum trees. Yes, some of them can stay, but some of them have to go to make room for pads.
Well, since the Ford was cleaned out, I decided to drive it home. I looked at the year and month registration sticker on the windshield, it expired 2 months ago! Ugh. Went home, got the insurance papers and then went to the county courthouse to get it registered. Over to the upholstery shop, a bit pricey on getting it done but I didn't expect it was going to be cheap. After that, harbor freight for yet another, 2 gallon chemical sprayer for the weed/grass spray. Trey stole the last one, it's gone.
That was "it" for the day, I went to Chili's after that to visit with an employee that I hadn't seen in a while. Also saw some friends that I have hung out with there and we chatted for an hour or longer. A lady I used to see there often when i was going out to eat all the time passed away a few weeks ago. Bummer, she had a heart of for stray dogs and was always picking them up.
After that? Home, dinner and now finally sitting down in my bedroom.
Tomorrow is a day off, but.......it's not really. I am going to fill that chemical sprayer up with grass killer and spray all the lots. I need to dig out a portion of the cable at the power pole so I can take a pic of it and get that done. I need to run the line between the meter and the power company's pedestal. I need the right size. I hope to be able to at least get the cable and get a start on digging out the trench.
Oh! The plant today. Well, I got up there, pulled up, got my stuff going and then? Some truck pulls up behind me. Who is this guy? He gets out of the truck, walks around then approaches me. Do you know where to check in here? Uhh, sure. I explained where to go and then asked him what he's hauling? Caustic. I was wondering if we were already being replaced, lol, but another company hauls the caustic stuff. Then the glue man came out of the side door and I pointed at him- that is exactly who you need to speak to.
I got lucky on that one. If I had arrived up there 5 minutes later, I would have had to wait for him to unload. As per the spill, the glue man said he went out to look after I left last week and just thought it was funny. It was like there's nothing there, lol. Yes, I know, but we are required to report it regardless. If 2 drips go on the floor, I don't care, but a gallon of water tainted with glue spreads out all over the place.
Tomorrow's agenda is to simply__________________

Well, tomorrow is to try and get stuff done. Apparently there is a strong possibility of rain so i guess it's a good thing there is no dozer tomorrow? I just found a set of 4 security cameras that have their own, built-in solar panels. No charging them, wireless, I have plenty of internet access where I need it and want the cameras. I want to put one in a tree facing the outside of the shed so I can see what people are doing = there are things going on that I don't know exactly what it is but odd stuff.
I can do some tractor work as well, some dirt needs to be sifted through. Just want to dump as much dirt out there as possible, the operator says he can get it a bit more level. Tho, tbh, as far as level goes, it's not that bad. Smooth - not at all, lol, hence the reason for the dozer.
Anyway, it's possible we'll get it out there Friday.
