We are in our 5th week here and traffic into the sites is still strong. We have gone thru drilling, fracking, coil tubing, flowback and who knows what else. They are hooking the wells together and hooking them to the pipeline.
We are averaging about 50 vehicles in each day, mostly during the day from about 5:50am to 6:00pm. Since I work from 4am to 4pm I get most of the work. Linda gets very few customers durning the night and it makes for very long nights. TV programing is even worse after about 10pm so she does a lot of reading on her Kindle.
During the day I play a lot of spider solitare, regular solitare, and freecell....can't tell you how many thousands of games I have played.
It appears there is no end in sight for us on this site....they keep doing things. One of the supervisors told me they were going to start a new project the first of the month.....we are hoping that they relieve us soon so we can go back to the yard for a few days of "normal" living.
Yesterday Linda went into Pleasanton and took Walker to a groomer. He was turning brown from all of the dust....now he is bright white again. It is a 80 mile round trip into Pleasanton and either one of us usually makes it once a week or so. A while back I made two trips the same day....got into town and stopped at the lumber store and went to pay and did not have my billfold....damn...had to come back out here and get it than go back into town.
Hope all is going well for you
Let us know whats up with you these days
Love to all of ya
Jim and Linda
p.s. we are able to Skype with our kids, not the greatest video, but it works
