And the computer says 2 days zero hours.

And I say, "finally".

We are almost to the end. Thank goodness. I am not going to win the betting board. Frank and the GM's saw to that by not having the last scheduled maintenance Sunday.

I'm not taking anything away from the plants though, she has run like a warrior!

I am putting together my exit strategy.

If we get through Sunday morning, I may take Krl and the houndgirls home. I could take either the service trailer or one of the travel trailers too. I would return early Monday, probably try to take another travel trailer in and return for the season ending party.

I will begin to have trucks leave trailers on the other end, probably Saturday night. There are two lease trailers that have to be returned to Fort Worth and Garland respectively, but not before we do a little repair to them. Three trailers have to go in and be inspected and green slipped. The supply trailer has to be towed in by a big truck, and finally our big travel trailer has to be hauled in as well. I have three bumper pull travel trailers and the service trailer that I will pull with my pickup.

On a high note, I took my pickup and got an inspection sticker yesterday! It was about time. The old sticker expired in January 2007. My pickup has been to town only one time this entire season. I even put my new tags on (they have only been on my dash since January). Now I am legal.

On a low note, we got our mail forwarded from home yesterday. In the mail I had a letter from "the revenue agent" in Abilene. It seems he is not wanting to honor the offer in compromise that his superiors agreed to last year. We called the company that did our negotiations and they told me the revenue agent couldn't do what he is saying he is going to do. This agent is hispanic, someone gave him a badge and he thinks he is hot stuff. He has such an ego that his signature takes up four inches on the signature page of his letter.

I may let him stew and see what happens. I would love to let him hang himself and me file a harassment suit. I would settle if they would terminate him.

I am not too concerned. He is trying to tie me to the defunct family business after 2003. I guess he has forgotten I have a notarized bill of sale.

I was told a couple of weeks ago he turned up at CW's office demanding to see an officer. He was told there were none. Then he wanted to seize assets. Man, he should have gotten there in front of the finance companies.

I think he is mad because Fred died.

I am too. Just not for the reasons the agent is. I am glad that Fred is through with all this mess, I just wish every one else was as well.

Think and pray for us. It is going to be a long two days!

Have a day!

FATHER, thank you for the productive days we have had. For the progress we have seen toward completion of our task. Reign in us.
