We have had a cool weekend with temperatures getting down into the forties and me in warm long pants for the weekend.
Rig cleaning crew came in today in preparation for the drill rig move out. They started the drill rig move out and pieces and parts on flat bed trucks. These are heavy hauls requiring trailers with five axles tractors with four axles to handle the weight.

The company supplying the onsite housing were in early for the move today of five house trailers, water and waste water tanks. Then there are steps and other parts all on trailers pulled by pickup trucks. Trucks continues hauling loads with equipment used in the drilling operation.

Big pieces moved out today all but one, the tower it is loaded on its dolly ready to roll out in the morning.
Another drill rig moved in four miles further down the road from our location and traffic coming to that gate is stopping trying to enter for us. I have to ask what rig are they looking for and direct them four miles further down the road. So all first timers want to stop thinking they are at their destination and I direct them four miles more, that they are now only half way there to their destination. I did notice a few drivers stop look recheck their paperwork and continue on but more stop and ask to enter here.

Very busy morning breaking down and packing away. While we are doing our thing, there are trucks coming in removing the supplies and draining the frack tanks. I just opened the gate for them to do their work as we are off the clock I made no attempt to keep track of them. There were still some that were looking for the new drill rig and directed them down the road four more miles. Some drivers see a gate guard and think that is where they are going.
About noon Buster rolled out the gate, I put the lock on and started the slow drive down the dirt road, four and a half miles.

I sent my wife ahead to the paved road in Tan Jan. And Buster caught up after a slow going down the dirt road trying to keep the dust as low as possible. Then we turn east on the TX 255 and south on US 83, with a total trip of nineteen miles here to the RV park. After setting Buster on a site and taking a shower we drove into Ladero for dimmer and shopping. Getting back to Buster we crashed after a big work day moving.

Thought for the Day:
If the earth were really flat, Cats would have pushed everything over the edge by now.
