    Look at all the money you cost Crete, and how all that idle time made your poor DM look.

    Well some dude with a refer trailer just cost me my scammy free parking spot I've been in for the last 4 months when I'm at the house.

    There's a Walgreen's on one of the corners that went out of business about a 1/3 mile where two main streets intersect. They had a decent sized lot, and I've been tucked in one of the corners when I'm here at the house for the last 4 months.

    Friday some dude with a refer trailer ( running ) shows up. I thought uh oh. Sure enough, this morning I'm sweeping out the trailer for my P/U in a bit, and there's some #### ragging me that represents the property owner.

    So I shall wear out my welcome in some other places.

    Get the owner's name and number call him and ask. Bet he has zero idea of it happening. At worst you can ask to rent a spot since it's empty lot.

    I knew it would end some day. But I also knew when that neck bone just had to park a running refer there, no good would come of it.

    Most of the commercial drop yards are about 12 miles away, and some want nearly $200 month. Plus I'd have to leave my new Camaro there.

    There's more than one way to feed a rhinoceros though.
