Morning 65 Degrees, Wind ESE at calm, Humidity 97%, overcast - Fog.
Afternoon 77 Degrees, Wind SE at 5 to 13 Mph, Humidity 74%, rain drops.
Natural gas now flowing thru the meter, money in for the oil company. Just before or maybe caused my wife to get up was a short hard rain. The light rain continued longer with us getting a tenth of an inch of rain. I went to Gonzales shopping (still raining) anyway. I try to shop on days there is lower traffic thru the gate. I also had to mail letters (snail mail) at the post office.
While there the rain stopped but the damage has been done to “our road” where we walk, mud. We try to clean our shoes but the mud sticks to the soles of the shoes. Our brush and deck helps but we do have to walk into the road to get pictures of the license plates.

Morning 70 Degrees, Wind S at 3 to 10 Mph, Humidity 94%, overcast.
Afternoon 86 Degrees, Wind S at 9 to 20 Mph, Humidity 49%, mostly cloudy.
Black gold, oil trucks are now hauling oil from this well. The road is drying out slowly but we have to brush and scrape our shoes to control the mud. Even walking around watching for the “dry spots” helps by not walking into the wet areas that are still wet and muddy.
I had a “water crew” come in they picked up a section of water main hose used in the fracking operation.

Morning 53 Degrees, Wind ESE at calm, Humidity 100%, cloudy.
Afternoon 70 Degrees, Wind NNE at 8 to 21 Mph, Humidity 40%, mostly cloudy.
Another load of oil out early today and still walking around the “dark spots”, not dried out from sundays rain.
I had another four vehicles of the “water crew” come in they picking up more water main hose used in the fracking operation. One truck came in pulling a tracked vehicle on a trailer that can spool the hose up. There were two trailer trucks with empty spools that were filled when they went out later. In the picture notice that the trailer is four axles for the heavy weight of the hose.

Here at noon we have had almost five tenths of an inch of rain, plenty of mud. So far I have been able to stay out of the driveway mud working from our porch. Walking to the edge and using the zoom function on the I Pad to get pictures of the vehicles license plates and picture of the vehicle side. we have been dealing with the rain since Sunday.
