It is really quiet here.
We are averaging about 3-4 in's a day. And they all leave in the afternoon. They have had a reclaim rig on site and gone back into the well to rework parts of it to increase flow. There are two well side by side here and they were both redone. It took about 2-3 days for each one.
They also have a crew in working on repairing the pad. After the big storm of a few days ago, the guys working the reclaim rig really tore up the ground. There is also a man made pond on site that they use to get water for drilling. They are going to fill the pond back in.
Linda and I are going stir crazy. There is crap on tv, you can only read so much and the ground is so rough it is hard to walk. So we sit inside and are bored. And eat.
Yesterday was another great sunset. This part of Texas is very rolling low hills and mostly scrub brush, with some trees that may get up to about fifteen foot or so. So typically you can see quite a ways if you are on top of one of the hills. There is nothing to block the sunset and the cloud cover is usually kind of long flat clouds in strange patterns which make for great sunrises and sunsets.
In our previous location we faced straight north and got the morning sun thru the big windows. Now we are facing almost straight south and get the afternoon sun. So I do not pay attention to the sunrise, but we do see the sunset.
I know this is kind of rambly, but da-n I am bored!!! So instead of eating I am writing. I spend time using Microsoft streets and trips program to plan out our return to Indiana/Illinois in May. Currently I am thinking of heading east out of San Antonio to Baton Rouge, LA than heading north on Mississippi 61 to Natchez and pick up the Natchez trace (http://byways.org/explore/byways/2285/travel.html.
Following that for a while and than head to Tunica, MS for a couple of nights, before heading to Woodstock IL.
O.K. I have wasted enough of your time.
Have a wonderful day today
and be happy you can stay busy
Love to all of ya,
Jim and Linda

Planning out your trip can be fun. I find that doing that is almost as fun as the trip itself.
