Fourth week on our Gate!

We are here now for the fourth week!.. It has been sorta slow up until today and seems the rig is down so everyone runs to town.  We don't know a whole lot about what is going on back there as the main man came out the other day and told us even he didn't know if we were drilling for gas or oil, horizental or vertical, the only thing he did say was they called it a "tight hole" which means no information gets out.  We are pretty sure though that they are ready to go horizental as they just brought in another big trailer.  I told PEAK "no more" they get to close to my house and there drivers are terrible!

Any way Jack has been enjoying himself!!  One salesman the other morning brought him these cinnamon rolls and then it seems after I go to bed one of the crew guys goes out and brings back "drumsticks".  And then last night he brought back "fried pies" from What-A-Burger!   Guess I may have to change shifts with Mr. Jack.                                       

Jack is really getting spoiled!



Beginning to look a little like Christmas!

Jack went to town the other day and brought back our first sign of Christmas!  It is a beautiful Poinsetta.  May be our Christmas tree as we don't want to drag out a whole bunch of stuff and then have to move in a hurry.

Friends found us down here all the way from Wisconsin!

This next picture is of our friends from Wisconsin, that are really staying at our park in Aransas Pass.  They came to see us and it was such a thrill.  I think Dennis was sorta interested in the Gate Guarding business but I am not to sure if they could stand all the dust!  We did have a good visit with them.  Not busy that morning so didn't have to do much.

I guess she got us as I got her!

Dennis and Jack have good visit!

Judy and Dennis, was so good to see them.

Time to go!  Rats!

Once again here are some of our ranch buddies that come up most everyday to check and see if the gate is closed or open



Our little ranch family coming for evening visit!

The next few pics are of some of the big trucks that do come through our gate>

One of our big trucks leaving!

Big truck coming out!

There he goes!

Well for the excitement for this week we had to let in another big trailer for some of the crew.  The equipment is rented out through PEAK oilfield services.  We have already had to move our house over so they could get one in and now I guess all we have to move is our pick-up.  The driver was new and he rocked it back and forth all the way.  You can tell by the pics he was real close to us again.  I told the PEAK Boss "No  More".  He said this was the last one.  I just hope when they get ready to leave they can get out or maybe we can leave first.

Another big trailer?

How close is he going to get?

Had to move pick-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOO CLOSE!!!!!!

More to come next Monday.
