    Nope. Working just as it always has.
    It's just unnecessary.

    Well I had a bad moment today. I can't get a trailer. Told there is one in st Louis. Call the place that gps is saying where's it's at. They say they don't have an LS trailer on thier lot. It's an O'Reilly's auto part store. I'm 50 miles south, I grab the dog drive up there. There is the trailer hooked to a tractor. I call LS tell them the tractor number. Five minutes later, phone call from LS that tractor doesn't have a driver approved for it. It's part of a small fleet and has been sitting for 20 days. So they call the owner and no response. So I push in and call the open deck guy at LS. But, he left early and won't be back till Tuesday. All the other open deck people are gone too. At this point im like ###. Till Monday. I need to show deposits for this month so my mortgage application won't get screwed up. There is still time, but it's getting close.

    The next thing is the property I'm buying is a tri Plex. I don't plan on renting any units out, right away. But no one wants to write a home owners insurance policy, except for one at 4k a year. Normally it should be around 1400 a year for rural Indiana. But 3 kitchens and 4 bathrooms cost money. Plus a pole barn and a 5 car garage. I didn't see that coming, but it makes sense.

    Edit:. There maybe some dry vans in Houston. Wow.

    I'm thinking 20 out of Dallas might be a better option going forward.
