Sorry ‘Bout That . . .
A Correction.
I’m not sure how, but link to the Checkpoint website to check for the Gooligan virus some how grew an extra ‘g’ and didn’t work. I know it worked originally since I tried it before I published the blog. But apparently between here and there it all went bad.
Anyway thanks to blog reader Jerry Walter for pointing this out this morning.
I corrected yesterday’s blog, and here’s the corrected link here too.
After three days of on and off heavy rain, it finally cleared this afternoon. But we were lucky compared to some areas in Texas that had over a foot of rain with heavy flooding. But now it looks like we’ve got some clear but cool weather in store for the next several days.
We’ve got a couple of daytrips planned in next three days, if we don’t get a gate in the meantime
First up is a trip down to Beeville, about 30 miles south of here, for lunch and a 4pm movie. We’ve heard a lot about the Beeville Diner and wanted to give it a try. The Yelp reviews seem to be either 1 star or 5 star, mostly due to problems with service. The online menu shows a nice selection of items so we’ll take our chances, I guess.
Then after lunch we’re going take in a movie. Yes, Beeville has a 6 screen theater, so we’re going to see Arrival, the science fiction movie starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner, and Forest Whitaker. it’s gotten really good reviews and we’re looking forward to it.
Then on Thursday we’re doing another trip into San Antonio, or at least the southern edge of it. I didn’t realized I was low on one of my prescriptions when we went into SA last Thursday so we’re going back to the Sam’s to pick it up. I could get it at the local Wal-Mart here in Kenedy, but here it would cost me $56. However, with my Sam’s Plus membership, it will only be $10. So the $40 difference will pay for gas, Turkey & Dressing at Cracker Barrel, and another movie, Dr. Strange, another science fiction movie. Are you sensing a pattern here?
Of course this could all go away if I get a gate in the next few days.

Don’t Do It !
Today was my last day (for now) at the Moczygemba gate. I say ‘for now’ because it seems like I keep cycling back thru these gates over and over. But the next time at this one, I hope it’s not pouring down rain. Because in this guard shark, when it’s pouring down outside, it’s also pouring down inside.
Well not as much pouring, as running out on the steel desk top and then waterfalling off onto the floor. It comes out from under the metal box hold the surveillance camera electronics on the left side of the table top.
I’m still not sure where the water was coming in. It wasn’t running down the wall, or coming in around the nearby window. But it was enough that I went through a roll of paper towels, and a stack of the towels from the potty trailer. But I still had to regularly sweep the pooling water out the door.
We only had eleven trucks in the gate today, most coming in between 6:30 and 7:30am. Supposedly they’re going to start fracking on Wednesday so today was just a lot of prep work to get ready.

DON’T DO IT!
As Adm. Ackbar says,â€It’s a trap!
In most cases it will not let you back up or get out of it, so just close the tab and move on. If you’ve already done this update, then you’re infected. You can find instructions online to rid yourself of the virus.
Wrapping up, there’s a new infection running through the Android/Google world that you need to check for.

This will tell you if yours is one of the 1 million+ accounts that have been breached. Normally you will only have a problem with this if you’ve downloaded Android software apps outside the Google Play Store. But check it anyway just to be sure.
Let’s be safe out there.
