My wife started inside packing away thing last night we always complain to each other about the pack away getting ready to move from each gate. This work season there have been many gates so that frequent repack is old. We do put out a lot as we are at each place it is home for a period of time and we are comfortable in our surroundings. There always are things we use and put back every day, but there are somethings we use every day but leave out for easy access, those are the things getting packed away now.

We did have a slower not but lower volume of vehicles in today. All the different crews were here but fewer of each of them. Thank you. More oil removal trucks than normal days but there have been just as many water removal trucks.

Frac moved back in (that is why w moved up our departure date two days) the pressure trucks and support companies all coming and going moving equipment in to the well pad area. We started our planned breakdown and packing operation so we are ready on Wednesday to move Buster. Last move was a rush very tiring in the heat of summer. So far we will do some taking down and putting away everyday.

Sand trucks are running in and out, started with them leaving sand boxes and going out with an empty trailer to get more sand boxes. Oilfield work knows no holiday, everyday is a workday for drilling and fracking. Even some of the piping people on the pads are working today and yesterday. The pipeline will finish this month they were off today and yesterday.

I finished picking up our decking (keeps our shoes out of the mud when it rains) wiped the boards down and put them away inside Buster’s compartments. I did his after the morning rush that starts coming in while my wife is on shift. I get out there after breakfast but I am out there before six in the morning to releave my wife. By nine I had the wood put away and it was already hot in the sun. I waited until after seven tonight to take down the canopy (after the evening shift change) and put that away inside Tan Jan.   



Thought For The Day – At my age, “getting lucky” means walking into a room and remembering why I’m there.
