Maybe Tomorrow ?
Well, we’re still on vacation as it were, with no definite startup time. Which is fine with us.
They had the derrick in place early this morning but nothing much else seemed to be happening for most of the day, except for a lot of guys mostly standing around in hard hats.
This morning Jan cooked up 5# of ground chuck and 3# of chicken breasts, then later in the afternoon we packed and vacuum-sealed the the hamburger in 1# bags and the chicken in 4 bags. So it will be quick and easy for Jan to fix meals for us on the gate.
I spent the late morning and early afternoon getting our canopy frame up and tied down in place before getting the covering on top.
Next I laid down a couple of pallets over the rocks leading out to the roadside. Jamie brought them with him when we delivered our sewer trailer,
After I saw the large rocks that they used on the roadway, I knew we’d need something to cover them, since walking on them without twisting your ankle is not easy.
And I’m going to have to get some plywood to cover up the gaps where the mats are bolted together.
Another ankle twisting possibility.
Around 4pm I went onto the pad to drop off our phone numbers with the Company Man. When I got back, Jan wanted to know if I asked him when he wanted us to start logging vehicles in.
I said No, I didn’t want to give him any ideas. When he wants us to start, he knows where to find us.
Finally, about 30 minutes later, they started raising the derrick.
And about 90 minutes later they were done.
So I guess sometime tomorrow we’ll finally get to work.
