"The Gate" Batesville, Texas 74 degrees and mostly sunny to 95 degrees and mostly sunny. There was a heavy dew this morning probably from the wet weekend and fog earlier this week. Where has the time gone the week is almost over, time is going faster as there is more activity while working.

I picked up this idea from the previous gate guard for shading the refrigerator from the afternoon sun. This cover on Buster for access is also a vent to allow airflow up thru the compartment at the back or the refrigerator and exits out the top vent. I have added a small personal fan that is positioned to blow up past the cooling coils of the refrigerator.

It was an active gate today with construction equipment coming in for new pad construction and maintenance traffic for the operational pads. The decking is mostly for when the rain comes, the dirt will stick to your shoes and low spots will be puddles.
