Fox Creek Gate Tilden, Texas - 60 degrees partly sunny this morning to 74 degrees and partly sunny.
An exhausting day, low traffic. I thought our diesel fuel and water delivery would be back on the Thursday schedule, but it was not to be. The diesel generator supplies Buster with electric and powers the lights on the tower, we only use two at a time. These are on all night and provide illumination of the area we need to be in outside Buster checking in trucks. I feel that the lights keep wild life away from the area, because we do not see anything up close to Buster, except for the Road Runner birds but they are here in daylight.
I changed the header picture for today’s blog post and will keep that for a while. This is looking from inside the gate at incoming traffic. There was plenty of time for me to take this picture. To Buster’s left is the natural gas compression

Fox Creek Gate Tilden, Texas - 44 degrees partly sunny this morning to 69 degrees and breezy mostly cloudy. Sun coming up in the east and clouds in the west, what kind of day are we going to have? Overcast and chilli all day.
Bonnie went into town this afternoon Beall’s outlet, water and Walmart today. Any time we go into town we get any empty water jugs filled at the drinking water dispenser station only one today but we are trying to stay ahead of the curve.
I found this picture on "myas.com" the San Antonio newspaper web site, taken at night from space over Texas. Buster is parked in the lower left of the Eagle Ford band of lights.

Fox Creek Gate Tilden, Texas - 43 degrees partly sunny this morning to 69 degrees and sunny.
Slow day but other small crews came into our gate to different pads. I did some work around Buster after it warmed up today. I cut the window board for the air conditioner exhaust. The air conditioner is the one we have on the floor next to the passengers chair. Last summer when we first used this air conditioner we had it set on the drivers side and exhausted the heat to the drivers window. We are using the drivers chair this year as it is an easier view out the rear window of the table slideout to watch for incoming traffic. To have a side table next to the chair for a lamp and other handy items is important to us.
I went to town after Bonnie got up from her day sleep, propane bottle filling was the attempt and it was only an attempt was the two locations I found online were nonexistent. I did get water and went to H-E-B and Walmart and got take-out at the Bar B Que place. On the way out I noticed a "rig" setup since Saturday. This pad was started before we arrived in this area on March first.

Fox Creek Gate Tilden, Texas - 63 degrees windy 25-30 (gusts to 40) and partly sunny this morning to 67degrees and sunny. The wind gusts backed off about noon but the steady wind continued all afternoon.
We are still having to reboot the MiFi as the atmospheric conditions seam to have an effect on the signal reception. I took it easy with a late NASCAR race today and no race next week as it is Easter Sunday. It seems that days after a trip to town I am tired and do not want to do anything. But that is ok there is always the next day.

I found this laying in the drafts folder (I usually do not go there) it was started but not finished. It is what it is.

Escapees Sumpter Oaks RV Park, in Bushnell, FL 68 degrees and mostly cloudy with fog. Bonnie and I said our good by’s to Karen and Mark and left Sumter Oaks after eleven this morning. A long fifty-eight mile trip to our new camp site.
Elks Lodge - Brandon, Florida 86 degrees and mostly sunny."We are catching our breath from the drive today". Construction and traffic in the Tampa bay area is hectic and we will try and use the back roads.
