Off of Sidewinder road

Hi

Merry Christmas to all of you

May God bless you and make you happy.

We are still out on Sidewinder road (N32.81536 W114.82092).

We go into Yuma more than we should (40 mile round trip), but we get bored, or need propane or gas for the generator, or some other excuse. It is about a 18 mile round trip to get water and I normally have to do that at least twice every two weeks. We go about every two weeks to dump our holding tanks which costs $15. Here a a few pictures of us and the Chapmans side by side and othrs about 50 yards away and still others about 1/2 mile away

As available moneys get to be less, we have been looking for work. Bobbie has been checking into doing gate keeping for oil rigs in the San Antonio, Texas area. She finally got us hooked up with the right person and we, us and the Chapmans, are waiting for info. packets to fill out applications. We will have to go to the police dept. to get fingerprinted and take a simple test and they will do a background check on us.

That was also done at Amazon, so will be no problem..

With gate keeping you keep track of all vehicles and people entering or leaving the oil rig area. It is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week job and you are on a job until the rig is finished. Sometimes they do move to another area, but you move with them.

They provide a 15kw generator, water and sewage disposal, and we would be paid $125 dollars a day...total (for both of us) One person normally works days and the other nights. We are hoping to head down into Texas sometime the end of January. I have a skin cancer on my nose and am waiting for an appointment to see a plastic surgeon for a consultation (Jan 10) and than an appointment to have it removed. After that we could move on.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and new year and the Good Lord brings you something good.

Love to all of you

Jim and Linda
