Finally we are done

I thought I had lost this one. It is out of order, but am posting it so we remember what we have done.

Just a short note today
We finally got releived off of this gate. It has been a very trying experience. It has been so slow here.
  So anyway, we left the gate about 4pm. Drove to Peasanton, and stopped to check the trailer and got a phone call.
We have a gate for you. It is in Cotulla, TX. So we turned around and head southwest. They told us we could stop at another gate guard who was about a mile from our new site. But in the black of night we missed him and drove into town.  Now by now I am really tired of driving and I had driving at night. Linda called the company and they said "you missed him".....no shit.
We turned around and drove another 10 miles back up the shitty highway.....sorry Texas.....but you have some really bad roads.....and found the guy.
We are pluged into his electric and they will come out tomorrow morning and meet us here and take us to our gate...which is a pipe line....new to us., but pays the same and we only work 12 hours a day.

Plus we are close to town and have  decent internet and phone without the antenna.
I am writing this at 9pm...so by tomorrow with the antenna up, we will have good internet....for once.

Nite nite for now
Jim and Linda
p.s. we have to be up, at the crack of dawn.....6am
