The Future of Gate Guarding?

or Still No Gate.

But like I said yesterday, I’d be surprised if we get a gate before Monday or Tuesday because of the Labor Day Holiday. But who knows.

Early in the afternoon, we got a new neighbor in the spot left empty by the couple moving out to their gate yesterday morning. The new couple said that Austin had told them to head over this way, and that there were plenty of gates coming up.

Austin is a support tech for Gate Guard Services. In fact he was ours for a while last year, so I hope he knows what he’s talking about.

Later in the afternoon, I went across the Interstate to the Exxon station for a few things, including an ice cream treat for dessert. Later for dinner I fixed us grilled cheese sandwiches with chips and jalapeno cheese dip. Simple, but good.

When I was going over to the Exxon station, I saw these parked over at the side of the lot. I’ve seen pictures of these being used by other gate guard companies, but I didn’t know GGS was using them, or going to be.

I really like the look of that AC on top. Would have been great with those 108° days we had last year. And the 30° and sleeting days too.

As far as how busy the Gate Guard business is now, this is the support trailer lot last year. Row after row of the generator trailers, water trailers, and sewer system trailers.

But now, not so much. The lot is almost empty.

Hope it bodes well for us.
