Sometimes titles are difficult~

Writing a blog isn't always easy if not a lot is happening, you know? This gate has so far been super easy and much slower than the one we were guarding in Louisiana. Of course, that well was being fracked and that is always a circus. This one is still in the drilling stage which is a nice change. If the weather improves, this gate will get very busy, very fast as they build more pads for drilling. By then we will be gone though and the McKnights will be back with their new 5th wheel.

Looking toward the rig~

The gate is just around the corner ... see how dry it is!

Anyway, today started out nice with temperatures in the high 60s, moving into the 70s. However by mid afternoon, we had threatening skies, the temps were dropping and the wind picked up. We have a 50% chance of showers through the night (noooooooooooo!) and a 30% chance tomorrow. Our road has just now dried up to the point that we can actually let Lucy walk all the way across without losing her in the mud! She got to run around some this afternoon (leashed of course) and you could tell she was very happy about that. Up to this point she has really been stuck in the house except for doing her business outdoors. It has just been too muddy to let her outside ... we have felt bad for her, poor baby. We just hope we don't end up with mud soup for a road again!
All in all, we are enjoying ourselves working this gate. We just hope our boss Roger has one this nice for us when we finish here on Monday.
