Busy day, the coordinator came to the main gate area where we parked overnight after nine and lead Buster into the work site. There or here we backed Buster onto the “spot” for our location on the road leading into the well site. This is nine miles from the “main gate”. Fracking is the work project going on and sand trucks are busy. There is a “holding or staging” area for them and a worker goes there and brings in a group of four or more sand trucks. Some times six or ten. There are four sand silos set up on the well site that the trucks try to keep them full.
I was told that one stage for the frac used nineteen truck loads. I asked how many stages a day, four stages (on a good day). Just in sand trucks that is seventy-six sand trucks in and out plus the shift change and day visitors and Friday is one of the heavy days of “extra visitors” over two hundred entries on th I-Pad.
Getting the jacks down on Buster and tire/wheel shades in place electric and water connected to Buster and other setup work a tiring day today. With the heat and bright sun I setup out canopy in front of Buster for a work station to keep our I-Pads out of the sun and the charging adaptor on the WORX table.

Afternoon 72 Degrees, Wind N at 8 to 24 Mph, Humidity %, mostly sunny.
A slower day but still plenty of vehicles in and out the gate. Pictures of the plate and vehicle side in and out records. Coming in recording (typing in) the plate number that sets the record of the vehicle and then the drivers name and company he works for and any other peolpe in the vehicle. Going out recalling the record by the company name or the plate number to then take the pictures again for the out log. The program adds the day and time of the record in and out.
I set up a deck area outside Busters front steps but I could do more but I do not expect to ne here more than two weeks. We have not had any rain since coming here but we need to be ready with a place to clean our shoes befor going inside Buster.
Buster’s Gate Catarina, TX - Sunday, April 15, 2018

Afternoon 82 Degrees, Wind E at 5 to 9 Mph, Humidity 15%, sunny.
We are running like a smooth operating machine, as this is a nice change working with a different oil company. One thing that is noticeable is the licence plate numbers as not as close together like 123 and 124. They are coming from a wider area thus the letters and numbers are not close together. The actual work load is reduced on returning vehicles because once a record is made the server has memory and entering a partial of the licence plate number will call up the the rest and the persons name and company. That reduces our making a complete entry every vehicle visit.
I will post pictures when I have a better internet signal
