Make It Stop . . .
It’s been raining for two days now, never really heavy, just steady. And it’s not supposed to stop until around 6am tomorrow morning. And then just to top things off, this evening it started to get cold, down to the low 50’s.
What’s amazing is how big this storm line is, running down in Mexico all they was up to Quebec and New Brunswick, Canada.
As I mentioned yesterday, there’s no slope where we are, so the water (and mud) just puddled at our feet. I ask Jan to call the Company Man to see if they would drop off a load of pea gravel so I could spread it around under our canopy.
Well, my Sweetie done good! This is what I found when I came out to relieve her at 1pm.
They not only brought the gravel, they spread it all around for us too. Really nice.
Our frack has been down for two days now, due to interference with the drill rig. I mentioned this possible problem before when we had two fracks going at our other gate. Strangely the other two fracks were closer to the rig then this one, but this is the one having the problem.
When they shut down the frack, they sent out an email to all the trucking companies so that the dispatchers would halt the sand truck deliveries. But apparently a lot of guys didn’t get the word so they started piling up here in the staging yard.
There’s another row behind this one, and more parked around the sides, hoping I guess, that the frack would start back up some. But by the time I came back out at 11pm, there were only four left.
The restart date for the frack runs from ‘any minute now’ to Saturday, and times in between. So we’ll see how it goes.
Tomorrow morning I’ll make a run over to Bryan/College Station to pick up grocery/supplies, and also bring back lunch. I’ve also got to pick up the flasher control module that I ordered to fix my turn signals.
Well, right now it’s FedEx 1, UPS 0. Last week I ordered something from Amazon and FedEx delivered it right here to the gate. But this past Monday I ordered something else from Amazon that was shipped via UPS that was supposed to arrive today.
But according to the tracking info, it’s been sitting in Bryan/College Station since 5:45am this morning, and hasn’t moved. And I’ve got something else coming in today via UPS so we’ll see what happens.
Just given up on Frack Food.
