Buster's Gate Asherton, TX - Mar 18 - 19

Buster's Gate Asherton, TX - Wednesday, March 18, 2015
Morning 63 Degrees, Wind SE 2 Mph, Humidity 97%, cloudy overcast morning rain showers forecast.  Afternoon 72 Degrees, Wind ENE 4 & gusting to 9 Mph, Humidity 75%, mostly cloudy.

The showers never came today, as there was more rain overnight into today to keep our mud level ridiculously high. I do much prefer the dust than the mud. Today the traffic was little less but enough to keep me jumping up and down during the day.

Afternoon 81 Degrees, Wind S 6 Mph, Humidity 61%, partly sunny.  

Welders have come in the past three days and today a work over rig with the support equipment making a very busy morning. The trailer trucks had a hard time negating the turns around Buster slipping and sliding one even got stuck but the best nothing was damaged.

Scraper rotated 

My "hoe" shoe scraper is working well removing the mud from the soles of my shoes and the edges also. I am experiencing the edge of the hoe rotating, as the handle is just laid on the ground with the deck holding the handle in place. I really need to clamp the handle to the under side of the deck to prevent the edge of the hoe from rotating under my foot.

By late afternoon the road has dried pretty good, in the center while the edge is still sloppy. This morning with the tractor trailers coming in with equipment and pipe one got stuck and needed to be pulled put by another truck. The driver was trying to keep it wide before turning left behind Buster but the slippery mud reached up and grabbed the steer axle tires and kept them in the mud. Now the bad news, more rain Friday into Saturday. I do not expect any tractor trailer trucks but I never know when they are coming. The trailer tires have been getting close to both fence posts
