OMG - Internet service!!!!!!

We don't know why,,,,,but today we have had internet service....so I'm going to take advantage of it and try and get everyone updated on on Gate Guarding experience.,

I think when we left you last our assignment had come to an end and we were heading back to the yard at Whitsett.  Well, we enjoyed two (2) days of peace and quiet, did some shopping and got the laundry done.  Saturday morning, we got another asignment and headed out to the Day Lyssy site. It was a very busy site as they were at the fracking stage so there were a lot of sand trucks in and out along with the crew.  This procedure takes appox. 5-7 days and we did not know where we would be going after they were finished fracking.  As it turned out, we are going to be following this fracking crew from site to site and on Friday morning we packed up and moved to the Ted Butler site about 7 miles down the road.

As you can see from the pictures, it has been raining here since Friday.  The weather here is as unpredictable as our weather in Michigan.......Thursday we had the air conditioning on and Friday we had the electric heater running!!!!! 



The mud is terrible and according to the weather channel, it is suppose to be rainy for the next few days.We need to invest in some good "mud boots"!!!!!!

This site is quite different from the other two we have been at as we are only about 100 yards from the site and can watch all the activity!!  One of the guys from the crew has been kind enough to explain the procedure to me and, although I don't undertand everything, it is nice to have some knowledge about it.  Unfortunately, there are signs posted stating no photographs so we are unable to let you see what it looks like,.

Take care
Jim and Linda
