Fox Creek Gate Tilden, Texas - 73 degrees mostly cloudy muggy (94% humidity) this morning to partly sunny 87 degrees. There are "wind socks" all around as the wind, knowing direction is important because of poison gas you know where to go to be upwind of the gas.

Well the wind socks are almost straight out again today.

We get water and diesel fuel delivered weekly by another contractor starting the first Thursday we were here at Fox Creek gate. We received our normal delivery today late in the afternoon while I was in Pleasanton for a shopping run.

Sunrise

There is another oil company that operates one well on this ranch and they seem to be bringing in a work over rig as some of the other equipment started arriving at noon today. Latter I heard the rig broke down on the way here so probably tomorrow it will arrive here at fox Creek Gate.

There was "weather" north of us last night, thunderstorms with hail and rotation noted for the possibility of tornados.

Buster is going to get wet

There were some new faces arriving here today but not a high level of traffic.

The "weather" came here tonight as I was showering Buster was also getting a shower from the clouds in these pictures.
