Shopping, Leftovers and An Unwelcome Visitor
Friday 11/28 Traffic has been quite manageable with just 57 vehicles in and out on Thursday and 55 on Friday. We also have traffic coming and going to the central facility but are not required to log them in and out but we do go to the door and wave them on as acknowledgement. We … Continue reading

Can of Spam
Wednesday 11/26 We found when we got here that the previous gate guards hadn’t been logging the rig crew in or out so it looked like we didn’t have hardly anyone down on the pad. The crew slowly started coming out to go into town for various reasons so we have been ‘re-teaching’ them to … Continue reading

New Gate, New Friends
We were up about 6:00 am. I took time to relax in my recliner and ‘surf’. I had most everything in the house ready to go and Michael had just a few things outside to do so that we were ready to pull out when Austin got the the yard shortly after 8:00 am. The 13 mile … Continue reading

New Gate on the Horizon
We were preparing to go into town to run a few errands and Austin stopped by to tell us he had a gate for us. When he first told us it would be today, as soon as we were ready to go but that changed in the span of about 10 minutes. We’ll be leaving … Continue reading

A Surprise Visit While We Wait
Saturday 11/22 Slept til 7:45am ish….feels SO good to be able to do that! When we got up the fridge was sitting at 54 degrees and pretty much stayed that way all day. 🙁 Although….the freezer was working just fine. It rained a few times in the morning but nothing too bad. Debbie & Rod … Continue reading

Chinese & Refrigerator Repair
Thursday 11/20 Well gosh darn it! I’d planned to sleep in this morning but my internal ‘gate guard’ clock went off at 5:18 am. I put it on ‘snooze’ but it didn’t do any good and I finally got up shortly after 6:00 am. Thankfully, I slept good and didn’t hear any phantom ‘Ding, Dings’ … Continue reading

That’s A Wrap!
Tuesday 11/18 Today we had a new company man come in as the old one went on days off. He thought that if everything went according to plan he’d be releasing us tomorrow. He was only here an hour or so to check on the flowback crew and then left again. You might remember that … Continue reading

Slip, Sliddin’ Away…
Sunday 11/18 We enjoyed a very quiet day with just 23 vehicles entering the gate and 24 going out. That was fine with us as we worked on cleaning up the DVR. We’d had quite a few shows accumulating and taking up space so it was high time to get some of them watched. The … Continue reading

Daisy’s Back!
Thursday 11/13 We had a nice, quiet night. The bell didn’t ring until 4:30 am and I slept until 6:30 am! Or at least stayed in bed until then. I woke up about 4:15 am and had a hard to going back to sleep but enjoyed lying in the nice warm bed anyway. Michael 1 … Continue reading

Wish For Our Heroes
Thanks to my awesome friend, Anita, who sent me a link to Wish for Our Heroes, I now know what the bicycle parade that passed by us on Monday was all about. It was the 4th annual bike ride that raises money for Texas members of the United States Armed Forces. The ride started out in … Continue reading
