Told them without a zoning change I was legally allowed to put a slaughterhouse there, a pallet manufacturing facility and a list of other things which they wouldn't appreciate . The rail track being a big plus. Also made a fool of their lawyer. The second meeting 30 people showed up in my favor....we got the zoning change and did the housing development..
Mine wasn't that complex, but even tho I suspected the City craved the additional tax dollars, I still came prepared to get approved. Seeing me in a Suit and tie, tattoo's covered up kinda cracked up several people there that knew me.

a failed regulator in one alternator and a second that would come and go for no apparent reason. Replaced them both, good to go now.

Heavy rain came though. Probably see some flooding tonight or the am. The sky and sorroundings now has an orange tint. Kind of pretty scenery. I tried to take a pic but it does not do it justice.

Probably the storms that moved through the Rapid City area a couple days ago. Real frog stranglers.
