9 December 2018, a day from Mark’s past

Status: Completely changed so I am rewriting it.  It’s raining all the way home so we are staying put in Ocala.  It’s raining heavily and probably will all day.  PU Truck is full of cage steel that needs to be offloaded.  Gate is locked incorrectly.  House looks really good and we’ll probably stay there from here on out since the buyers are not local.  We have run out of clean clothes since our original stay was until Saturday.   There is a washing machine/dryer at grandpa’s since we’re probably staying until Friday.

Plans: Keep moving forward on cleaning up the Bumpkin and to a lesser extent the surrounding land.  

Narrative: Got up around 4AM and drove to the farm to recover the Bumpkin cameras that were offline.  The problem turned out to be the wireless router would not allow any connections.  I rebooted the router and the cameras came back online.  Yea!  Locked up the house, hopped back over the front gate (Didn’t have a key) and headed for the hotel.

We got up and headed to grandpa’s to get the PU truck to haul the wire cages to the recycling center.  I was also tasked to find the serial number or VIN of the mobile home so they could get a duplicate title.  The trailer ends are terribly rusted, I could not find any stamped numbers.  I did find a serial number on the master bedroom closet wall that will probably work.

The trip to the recycling center was a bust, they don’t take any wire or anything made of wire.  I moved the wire from the PU truck to the box trailer so that I could use the PU truck for hauling other things.  We headed back to the hotel and Chili’s for Dinner.

Tomorrow: We have to check out of the hotel and move into the farm house for the remainder of our stay.
