Busy Monday, short holiday week.

This gate is like a back entrance to the ranch, the ranch is is part of a deer hunting operation.

New week after a long holiday weekend, busy with deliveries and sales people coming in trying for new business opportunities. The company man has not told us to stop any sale calls so that actually makes more work for us tracking the extra vehicles coming and going.

The generator was shutdown for the monthly oil and filter change. We have not had water delivered for a while and it ran out this morning. We got a water delivery about noon and back on a two week schedule. The route delivery schedule got changed because of a problem at another gate and we were forgotten. I now will take a closer like ensuring we get delivered every two weeks.

Thought For The Day – I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People get out of the way much faster now.
