It was a longer day than I anticipated. Business dried up about 9 am, so I went home. But I had to go back because it was not enough. The second time did the trick, so I am back just in time to call it a day.
I must be slowing down a lot. It seemed like a lot of hours, but it was not really. Must have put in about eight today. The ususal thing is about ten. I could work more, but why? More money is a good enough reason.
My thinking may be coming around to the notion that I stay here another year. I really hate that, but there is too many unknowns in moving out, and not enough wiggle room.
Still want to get the cabin built and so forth.
I have not decided anything.
It burns me to pay all that money for rent. A decision is going to need to be made soon.
Stay or go?

Android sucks
Seems like I spend more time maintaining it than in using it.
Do you suppose that all of the computer equipment really does not help you do anything? People can do it better. Machines may do it better in the future, but humans are still necessary.

Not going to meet deadlines
All of this breakneck pace in order to meet the deadline. Well, it is time to stop worrying about it. It is not going to be made. Okay, that is a load off my mind, so what is next?
Stay here or go? Want to go. Staying here means spending ten grand on rent for the next year. If I can get set up on the ranch, it eliminates that idiocy. Those who think I make a mistake do not consider the waste of spending money on rent. If only I can get out of that bind. This is a chance to do that.
So, if I cannot get situated there in time, I can still move to an apartment in ELP. If I am going to waste money, at least it will not leave me powerless in the meantime. I cannot get situated there if I am here.
The rest involves solving the problems out there. Cannot solve them here.

For the last couple hours, I have been getting caught up on the political stuff. I can help the feeling that we may well end up with an establishment candidate because people will not coalesce around anyone else.
Which mean Bush or Rubio gets the nomination. Something similar could be playing out in the Democrat race. Clinton could get the nomination in spite of everything.
For all the talk about the insurgency, such an outcome will have to be considered a huge disappointment. What it could really mean is that the majority of the people cannot govern themselves, and will have to be governed by an elite.
I repeat that I will not vote for a Bush nor a Rubio.
As for Trump, he is an insurgent candidate in a party that is becoming irrelevant.
One article asks, would you prefer that Trump pick the next Supreme Court justice?
What is the point of that unless you think that an establishment candidate will win? In other words, what makes you think that the type of guy who has lost the last two races is going to win this one?
Nobody has their thinking caps on, it seems.

Been busy this morning. Went into work early because no money coming in. Did a bit of work, then came home.
I needed to make a phone call yesterday, but because of the holiday, nobody was at work.
What I did was to call the dude who does the permitting and licensing for the septic systems. He will send the application. So, I will have to wait for that.
Meanwhile, I may need to rethink how I do all this, because the shack area was not the highest point on the land. You need to account for a drain field. This means downhill, not uphill, if you catch my drift.
The dude on the phone said that they do not have the kind of people you need for a so called site evaluation, but those who do these things tend to be installers. That tells me that I may have to pay an installer to come out and do the septic tank.
Yeah, and you wondered why I did not want to fool with septic tanks.

Septic system
There does not seem to be any way around this, but I may try it anyway.
The requirements appear to be that if a septic tank is used, the experimental one will have to demonstrate that it will not pollute.
To put something together that I can present to the honcho who gives out the permit may take some time.
You need a professional person who will certify that the plan will not pollute. I will have to find such a person.
Once the permit is obtained, I can build the system and the cabin.
As mentioned, this may take some time, unless you want to go conventional.

Government Science Monopoly
From Coyote Blog, this impressively qualified scientist is not on the bandwagon for AGW. Coyote was on the show he mentions. He links to the video below. I thought I'd put it up, in case anybody wanted to listen to it.
AGW is BS.
