Thursday, maybe . . .
Well, it looks like we will be moving with our drill rig. And supposedly we will move Thursday. But of course you never know.
Melissa, our Gate Guard Service sales rep, came out to the drill rig this afternoon (Monday) and our Marathon Company Man told her they wanted us to move with them, and that they didn’t want to share a guard with the other rig. They wanted their own, i.e. Us. Still don’t know yet how they’re going to handle the fact that there’s another gate guard already there for the other drill rig. Guess it will all work out somehow.
The other nice thing is that we have heard unofficially that the rig will be in this new location for 7 to 8 weeks. If that turns out to be true, it means that Thursday will be our last move before we plan on heading up to Celina, OH the 3rd week in August to get ready for Nick Russell’s Gypsy Journal Rally the first part of September.
And the other, other nice thing is that this new site has 5 bars of 3G Verizon service so we won’t need our Wilson booster. We’re going to be only about 5 miles east of I-37 so everything will be more accessible.

Is this kid cute, or what?
Not that I’m prejudiced or anything.
After being here at this site over six weeks, we finally got our first rain yesterday (Sunday) and it really made up for lost time. The storm that hit us came over Corpus Christi first and dropped 5 inches of rain on them, and it seemed to have plenty left over for us.
Luckily the road and our pad are built up pretty high so we didn’t have any actual flooding, But while it was raining there was over an inch of water on the ground under our canopy. The solar screens that we hang from the sides of the canopy kept most of the rain from blowing in so it wasn’t too bad while I was out here. I was glad that no vehicles came thru during that time so I didn’t have to actually get out in it.
On a final note, now that I found out how to install Dropbox on my Kindle Fire, I have it on there, as well as on my laptop, desktop, and Droid Charge. It’s a great program and really makes it easy to copy photos, files, etc. between computers without plugging them in.
In fact, on the Droid you can set it up so that all the photos and movies you take with your phone go directly to your Dropbox account.
