A Short Update

posted in Site News |

The common wisdom is, as a blogger,

you’re not supposed to make posts like this but here goes anyway. Sorry for not posting lately but… I’ve just got a few unrelated things to relate today and they’re all so small that I thought one post should do it:

First, I recently moved Landlord-Success.com to a new web host due to the S-C-A-R-Y weather we’ve been having here (read more in the next item.) I had been hosting it out of my own little data center here in the house but no more. So, if anyone sees anything that doesn’t work or looks weird, please feel free to let me know. Much thanks.

Second, here’s a lovely quote from the National Weather Service describing Tuesday this past week:

...INLAND FLOODING...
THIS IS A HISTORIC AND HAZARDOUS RAINFALL EVENT ACROSS THE AREA!
LIFE AND PROPERTY ARE IN JEOPARDY!

THERE IS AN EXTREME THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY FOR THE LOCAL
AREA FROM HEAVY RAIN...WITH THE LIKELIHOOD FOR LOCALLY HIGHER
RAINFALL TOTALS TO WELL EXCEED FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE. THIS IS
ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR BREVARD AND EAST OSCEOLA COUNTIES.

Whaaaaat!?? Historic and Hazardous? From a tropical storm? We did after all, get 25 inches of rain yesterday in a 24-hour period due to tropical storm Fay. It sat over Melbourne and the surrounding areas churning for like, 2-days straight. Thankfully none of the properties were flooded.

And Last, I recently read a post from Trisha Allen over at “Building An Empire” saying that she’s going to be discontinuing her blog. She says that she’s changing her focus so she can get her life back. I would like to say that I COMPLETELY understand where she’s coming from.

There are times when I want to say, “Screw it!” and give the properties back to the bank and then there are other times when I want to sue the tenants out of existence because they’re idiots and will never get anywhere in the world with the way they behave.

Neither of the above are healthy feelings to have but, what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger right? I like strength and experience and wisdom so for now, I’m going to stick with it and lucky you, get to read about it. Thanks for reading!
