Would you believe he had the gall to ask "when are you going to get me to clean your lot?" I had to bite my tongue to keep from hurling insults at him. I calmly said, "I have been waiting for you to finish the job you started back in July!". He actually LAUGHED like it was a joke and then said he had been really busy. He noted that he had sent his sidekick but that his lawnmower was left unrepairable after he mowed my yard. I told him that both the north and south lots require a TRACTOR, not a lawnmower. I added that I need the southern lot cleared but in one day at the most two when he has a chance. I am not going to hold my breath on him showing up.
You might ask yourself...Why don't you hire someone else to do the job? Because it is difficult to find someone to clear lots that have a tractor and the only one that I was able to get an estimate from charged a little more than double what Pollito does.
I am glad I picked up the trash as it then started drizzling and being the Queen of Procrastination I would have put it off for another day.
Last February I ran into my old propane guy as he was driving by the house in a propane truck from an outfit in Eagle Pass, Texas a town 60 miles south of Del Rio. He gave me his card and I called him but it turns out he is no longer employed there so I called our local provider.
The propane truck was manned by a young lady in her 20's. I am glad they gave a woman the opportunity to work in what is mostly a male-dominated industry. I purchased 100 gallons of propane at a cost of $2.35 per gallon for a total of $235.24.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
