    Cheap lots also. I pay $100 a month for a guaranteed spot in a gated lot that is pretty well hidden.

    There's a reason you didn't notice the black suburbans with dark tinted windows parked nearby, and the drone overhead. Lucky you didn't get too close to it.

    There are 3 parking places within a few miles, One lot I can use for free. All dirt lots , either dust or mud.
    I know everyone at Petro and have only been damaged once.
    May surprise some, but I have started using Petro shop for repairs, plus another shop for engine work and suspension repairs.
    They have 3 mechanic’s that are as good as anyone, plus they let me supply parts.

    Don’t worry about the black opp’s watching my truck, but watch out for the big boy in the golf cart.

    It should only take one load for Blair to cover his cost.
    Just the cost of doing business.

    I haven’t moved this year and already my year to date earnings are $9200 not bad for 0 miles.

    You could park it at home for free too, but I’m sure the trailer park has rules against that.

    Money from last year paid in after the first?

    Don’t really count if so.

    Your arrogance is disgraceful.
