Tuesday, August 19, 2014
Buster’s Gate - Calliham, Texas - 74 degrees and hazy sunny to 102 degrees and hazy sunny. Buster is parked out there, our cell phone signal is low with one and two bars, but it is working, slow. We also have our AT&T phone and air card on even they are low.

Yesterday as Buster started going south on interstate thirty-seven I was noticing “wind” with gusting blowing Buster and having to steer more to stay in lane. While setting buster up in place here at the gate the “breeze” helped in me not going over temperature in the evening sun. Today the “Wind at twenty miles per hour with gusts” is making our gate alarms go on with dust and “pucker brush” swaying in the wind tripping the alarms. A good thing we carry pruning shears that can address this problem.

Water setup

Our water “set-up” arrived late morning, delivering 3,100 gallons of water (black tank in picture), pump (blue) and hose connecting to Buster. Also is the waste water tank (green) and a sump tank with pump to the waste tank. Now we need a fuel supply for the generator to be complete.
