(3,894 posts)I met a trucker who is never home along the way, so I have a safe place to park and electric and water access, and he get's free security, a home cooked meal when he swings thru, some laundry chores, and a clean cool home when he arrives (though I do not utilize those resources when he's not, but turn them on an hour or so before he arrives). I stay in my utility trailer in the yard save for those types of things. Keeps my conscience a little clearer in that I'm not being too much of a mooch, and keeps me motivated to get things going here right quick.
Unfortunately I was on my way when a guy with clear mental issues wouldn't leave my equip alone and broke something. It's been a month of awaiting parts n pieces and figuring what all what actually broken. Unfortunately electronic failures can tend to cascade, and this one did. Then being almost broke made every piece purchase an agonizing decision.
Anyway, have things mostly cleared up and should be back to making a scene of myself by the weekend, and hence making contacts and friends, I hope.
