Nothing . . .
Pretty much nothing happened today,
Trucks came in, trucks went out. That was about it. And we only had 30 of them, anyway.
They did bring in another crane and they have them up together in kind of an ‘A’ configuration. Haven’t seen that done before like that, but I assume it’s because they’re trying to lift something that’s too heavy for just one.
Tomorrow I’m going to run into Carthage and pick up a couple of things I forgot on Friday, and I’ll probably bring back lunch as well. Don’t know if we’ll do Whataburger again, or maybe try a Mexican place that our friends and fellow gate-guarder’s Lynette and Gregg McHenry recommended. We’ll see how our tastes run tomorrow.
It is nice to be this close to town so that making a spur of the moment trip is easy. At all of our other gates it was 45 minutes to an hour just to get into town. Here it’s 10 minutes.
In fact we’re so close that for only the second time in our gate guarding career, Wednesday Jan is going into town on her own to get her haircut. At previous gates, with distance and sometimes bad roads, she’s been very leery of heading out on her own, in case she has car trouble or something.
In 2012 when we were on our second gate, she did go into town with the wife of another gate guarding couple who were right down the road from us, but that’s been it. This should cut down on the gate fever problem.
For some reason my get-up-and-go didn’t even show up this morning, so I didn’t work on the water heater problem and I didn’t dig out my pressure gauge to check the pressure on the well.
No problem. It’ll all still be there tomorrow.
Or the next day.
