Our RV Adventures

Well, we got our surprise turn-around to night shift today. After I got off today at 5pm, I come back in tomorrow evening at 5:30pm

But it’s only me that’s turning around. Jan is off until she comes back in for two days, Tuesday and Wednesday, only still on day shift. After that we don’t know for her.

We were hoping to both be able to work until we leave in a few weeks, but right now that’s up in the air.

We’ll see how it goes. It seems things change minute by minute.

I had only 5 vehicles into the pad today, but that’s all going to change in the next couple of days when the frack crew starts moving in. Then it’s going to get really busy.

After last night’s Whataburger visit, tonight we decided to again visit La Bella Tavola for dinner. This is our 3rd visit in the week we’re been here because it’s that good.

Last time we had pizza, but this time we went back for the pasta dishes. Jan once again got her favorite Chicken Alfredo.

While I had my new favorite dish for the first time, Chicken Florentine.

It’s two chicken breasts sautéed with fresh mushrooms, fresh garlic, fresh spinach in a sherry wine cream sauce over spaghetti. Probably the best pasta dish I’ve ever had. So it’s my new go-to dish there.

Unless we have pizza.

We’ve been eating out more than usual just because of our limited time after working a 12 hour shift. And Jan (or me) just doesn’t feel like actually fixing anything. So we either eat out or we have leftovers from eating out.

We’ll both get another meal out of tonight’s dishes, and we got 3 leftover meals from the pizza. In fact the only place we don’t have leftovers from is Whataburger.

But that’s because it’s Whataburger.

Well, the pad is now frack ready, and we’re in hurry-up-and-wait mode.

As it stands right now, they should start rigging down at the other frack sometime late Friday and moving in here on Saturday.

Maybe.

If they have a problem finishing up there then everything will get pushed back a couple of days. No one came in at all night, and I only had 4 vehicles today, so really quiet. And nice.

Tonight we went to Whataburger again. Did I mentioned that it’s only 3 minutes from our RV park? Nice and convenient.

And delicious as usual.

Night before last we went back to La Belle Tavola again, this time for their pizza. When we were there the first time we saw a steady line of take-out pizzas going out the door so we decided to check it out.

As usual we got the big 18†version with Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Hamburger, Italian Sausage, and Mushrooms.

Very cheesy and delicious.

And we had plenty for leftovers, including last night’s dinner and today’s lunch.

When posted the Dawn at the Frack photo a couple of days ago,

several people asked me what the two big towers were. And the answer is, they’re Sandcastles. That’s their company name, and what everyone calls them.

They’re used to hold the frack sand before it’s injected in the wells. As you can tell from this photo, they’re actually trailers themselves, complete with wheels.

They’re towed in by a semi and then stood on end. Then they’re pre-loaded with sand so they’re all ready to go at start-up.

Should be another really slow day tomorrow. The calm before the storm.
