Up at 3:30 am, out at 4:30 am. I woke up early for no good reason, I just woke up before the alarm went off. After the washout, I got to the plant at 7:35 am - just before 3 other trucks showed up. I would have had to wait for all 3 of those trucks to load. One of them had to wait to back into the parking area he needed to be, which is just in front of where I load my truck and a little to the left. Yeah, he can't block me in.
Back to the yard at 10:42 am, I got on the tractor, switched out the bush hogger to the box blade and started to blade the area that was bulldozed. I did tht for almost 2 hours, but the tractor was wanting to over heat and I was tired so I parked it. It'll need another half a day of blading or more before I start thinking about putting lots in there. I need that done before I start putting in stakes and such for where I am going to put the lots and run the ditches for the sewer, water and electrical.
I want to get this done soon, I will probably do some more tomorrow. The headache of where to put the lots is almost done with me, I have a plan, I just need to solidify it by spending and afternoon out there marking out the first 3 lots and determining where to run the line for the sewer.
I have this uber-early delivery tomorrow morning and then on Wednesday it's going to be the first load - normal time not "get up at 3:30 am" time. I'm not going to complain too much, tho, I'd rather get that super early time than have the 2 load and getting home at 4-5 pm.
I am - attempting - to fast today. It's only 1:00 pm and I'm struggling right now lol. I want to make it 3 days but right now? I'm just trying to make it through today. I mean, there are refrigerators and freezers and a pantry full of food here. Just makes it hard, the first day is always a struggle. Makes it even better, tho, that I am home early and can just relax.

The problem right now in writing entries is that I'm getting up super early for work, so I am just trying to find the time to write an entry and get other stuff done. If the kid doesn't take the tractor somewhere, I will very likely get on the tractor again tomorrow and run that blade back and forth over everything. I'm trying to give it that finish smoothing out. The soil was moist today which made it much easier to get the dozer tracks out of the soil. It's gonna have to be good enough when I get it as good as it's going to get with that blade, I've spent enough money on that portion of the dirt work.
Anyway, tomorrow is an ultra early rise day and then the next 2 days will be regular early run.
And with that, I need to get offa here. It's only 8 pm, but I am getting up at 4 am......
