It was nice to be home today, I got quite a bit done and will finish up tonight.  Mercy was even glad to see me (for a few minutes) tonight, she jumped up on MY chair, got petted for a few and then went down to the foot rest and laid down.  Didn't particularly want to be petted, just wanted to flip her tail over my foot and lay there.  That was ok with me.

After I got back from Missouri I dropped Shawn's cigarettes off at her house and visited for a little bit.  She was telling me how glad I should be that we are out of the hotel.  The pool feeder line got a split in it which made the whole thing leak so they had to rip out the concrete, take out the old pipe and install new.  Then they had to replace equipment in the pool mechanical room.  Wow, that could not have been cheap…she's right, glad we are gone from there.  But….that's not all.  The elevator hydraulic pump caught on fire and literally burned up, fire and all.  It should have been under warranty since we just had it replaced a few months ago, but, Dillup apparently didn't take my advice and keep the elevator maintenance agreement with Shoemauker so they had to pay for it.  Wow!  Dumb move on his part (or the new owners, not sure which one made that decision.)

Shawn also told me that Dillup has a serious drinking and gambling problem.  He goes to the boat regularly, I guess, and blows lots of money.  He leaves his wife and kids at the hotel and the front desk is responsible for babysitting.  It will be interesting to see how long that lasts when the owner and his wife return.  Maybe it won't matter and Praveen will go to the boat with him.  Not my problem!!

Well, that's about it for tonight, just grateful that we don't own the hotel anymore!
