First Time Since 2012 . . .
The last time we had breakfast at Barth’s was in 2012. We were following a Marathon drill rig that year and were at a site over near Whitsett, TX.
We were off for a couple of days because they were moving the rig to a new hole on the same pad. Back then they would bring in two 100 ton cranes and just drag the entire derrick 25 feet to the new spot. Now the rig’s just walk to the new spot all by themselves.
Anyway, due to my vampirish tendencies (but not the blood-sucking part) I don’t do breakfast very often, but somehow Jan talked me into it this morning. And I must say it was worth braving the sun, even if my skin did sizzle a bit.
Jan and I both had omelets, hers cheese and mushroom, with a side of bacon, and mine double bacon and cheese with grits and a large OJ.
And of course, coffee.
Coming home we stopped off at HEB so I could pick up some Lotto tickets. Both PowerBall and MegaMillions are in the $120 – $130 million range so it’s time to get back in the pool.
Getting back to the rig, I went back to catching up on my sleep.
A long-time friend of ours has some property on lake in east Texas and is thinking seriously about putting in an RV park. He’s thinking 50-70 sites, both back-ins and pull-thrus.
Concrete Pads 70 x 30 feet
Gravel Roads
Free Laundromat(s)
Bathroom/Shower(s)
Clubhouse(s)
Pavilion(s)
Fenced Pet Runs
I added
Good Wi-Fi
Wide Turns
Don’t put Big Rocks or Poles at corners
Just put Gravel across the corners
So now I’m throwing it out to the masses . . . or the blog readers, anyway.
What would you like to see in a new RV park?’
So give me your ideas to pass on to him.
Thought for the Day:
With only two days notice, a previously unknown 10 story building-sized asteroid passed by the Earth about half the distance to the Moon a few days ago.
An astronomer commented that this near-miss is nature’s way of saying “Hey, how’s that space program coming along?”
