I am new to GGS. Who is Jay? Is this person the same as Jamie at the Whitsett yard? How far out in the boonies are you? For our future reference only in case we have troubles.

Hmmm-my mother said "There is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that it ill becomes any of us to comment on one another". Your reticence is noted and your willpower admired.

I really like this forum and there is a lot of good information on here..then every now and then there has to be some smart----(pardon me)that has to get funny. Well sending a private message because you do not have the guts to put it on the forum for everyone to see just doesn't sit with me. If you want information or have something possitive to add then by all means feel free to PM me. But to get a PM like the one LivinGood sent to me just don't make sence.
I posted about not getting service because I feel that being way out in nowhere they should take care of us, I know Jamie would if we were working out of his yard. We were to work out of his yard but Roger needed help so we agreed to help him.
I did post about getting the******scared out of me by a large Rattler.
The stupid comments PM'd me by LivinGood is way out of reason.
LivinGood's PM to me.
Well....hmmmmm Girlyman....I sure hope the SNAKES don't get you.

We have had a couple large rattle snakes near the unit in last couple of days but nothing on the step...thanks goodness.
My wife introduced me to wax ear plugs for sleeping at night. I tried them and for the last 4 nights I have had uninterupted sleep with the exception of MOTHER Nature!!!! So if you hear the bell all night or day when you want to sleep try the wax ear plugs. It is a different world.

Wind came through an blew everything around this morning then a little rain that got stuff damp. SO that is my intro to work today.

Hope Chance gets here to fill up my diesel and water tank but figure they are trying to wait until Monday when we leave the gate. It has been a very good one. Nice people and location.

This is one of the primary reasons I all but stopped visiting this RV forum. The gate guarding sub-forum is all I read these days to keep up with what my gate guarding brothers and sisters are up to.

Far too many cranky retirees with nothing better to do than flame the rest of us. Just ignore the trolls and they'll go away eventually. Easier said than done, I know.

Hey folks, one bit of information about rattle snakes, they love heat and vibration. Be very careful when you go around your generator and especially when you open the door to check the oil. Ask your rig crew about all the rattlers they find under the various buildings and rig when they breakdown for a move. At one of our sites, near Helena, they found dozens under the various units as they pulled them onto the trucks.

Don, forget those PMs, and if you want to see his true colors, go read some of his post....[emoticon].....There is a blocking feature on the PM page.

Okay.... this week I have called our service man 3 times, he told me he would be here tomorrow each time. Well here it is Friday I am down to a little under 10 gal of desiel. He told me yesterday he would be here this morning early with desiel, water and weed eat the weeds to keep snakes out. So far no one has showed up, I am really getting tired of being way out here in nowhere land and not being taken care of. I am about ready to call Jay and let him know the type of service we get.


Wow..that is really getting low on diesel!! I think they need to add some extra service guys. They each have so many to service, if they are not fast workers, they really get behind.
We like to have our area cleared off for our dogs and also so we aren't so exposed to mice and snakes, so we bought a big weed-eater that even has a blade to clear bushes if needed...gives Hubby something to do.
We were so used to having such excellent service from Jimmy, but I don't think he will be back. So far our new service guys are doing good, but Jamie is out there working pretty hard also.

I ams sorry you have all but given up on the forum please come back, there is a wealth of information and its good to have friends you can talk to. I am sorry about posting the PM that I received but I really wanted everyone to see the type of person that LivinGood obviously is. I had read some of his other posts and believe me that has to be one unhappy, miserable person. May God bless him and let him learn to love himself so he won't be so negative all the time.


Texan
Yes I agree, once I read the PM he sent me I thought wow did I do something wrong. So I went to some of his posts and read them. I am so sorry he is so miserable. Wish I could meet him and maybe give him a friend so he wouldn't be so lonely and have to be so negative all the time.

Jamie makes sure his service men are doing a good job. I got a call from our service man and he said he would be out first thing Friday morning(third time he promised this week to be out the next morning)
so I put off calling Jay. Well he got here about 7 PM not AM only brought 50 gal of diesel and no water. We still had about 200 gal and he said he would back in 2 days with diesel and water. If not this time I will not call him but will call Jay. This is our 2nd service man since October in the same place. The first was even worse than this one.
