The Great Gate Experience!: Not Much Happening...

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012/02/not-much-happening.html

The Great Gate Experience! Monday, February 6, 2012. Yesterday was quiet as you might expect for superbowl Sunday, but I still thought there might be someone come through the gate but knowone did. Weather was cold and the ground still covered in sticky, muddy caliche! With three dogs going out several times a day to do their "business" we had to come up with a better way to clean their feet! The game was good, we made tacos and then watched The Voice, all in all a good day. Jim is napping and I have to f...

The Great Gate Experience!: Darn Slow Internet Service...

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012/02/darn-slow-internet-service.html

The Great Gate Experience! Sunday, February 26, 2012. Darn Slow Internet Service. I shouldn't complain at all actually, at least we have internet! But after a time you kind of forget that and revert back to thinking you are in civilization and it should be faster. Oh well. I'm going to post some pictures here because I can't get them posted on facebook so I hope you can see them. When we have a normal busy gate! Oh, yesterday, David our field service guy saw a cougar just 3 miles down our dirt road!

The Great Gate Experience!: January 2012

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

The Great Gate Experience! Monday, January 16, 2012. I know, we won't be waiting forever but we are just so anxious to get started! So, we will just have to live through all of you other gate guards whose blogs I have been reading religously, keep it up everyone I love hearing your stories. The only issue we have had so far is that the dogs pick up stickers in their feet whenever they go out but I don't see anyway around it, we'll just have to continue pulling them out. Friday, January 13, 2012. We met w...

The Great Gate Experience!: Rattlesnake...

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012/03/rattlesnake.html

The Great Gate Experience! Thursday, March 8, 2012. I read all the blogs and listened to everyone's warnings and knew that living in Texas in the oilfields meant the possibility (or probability) of running into a rattlesnake. But, I didn't think one was thinking of moving in with us! I yelled "what the h- - is that" and Jim ran over to look, sure enough it was a 4' rattlesnake moving towards the steps! Take care and watch where you step! March 10, 2012 at 1:12 PM. Http:/ bounderrv.wordpress.com/. We have...

The Great Gate Experience!: Still Settling In...

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012/02/still-setting-in.html

The Great Gate Experience! Wednesday, February 15, 2012. Not much has been going on, trucks come in and then trucks go out. We haven't been busy on this gate which is probably good since we are still learning the ropes, but I worry that we might become too complacent! Pretty relaxing actually but having read everyone elses' blogs I know that certainly isn't always going to be the case! The only other thing is that I have read in other blogs to get to know your "company man" which is a good idea, but how ...

The Great Gate Experience!: Girls Day Out and Wild Pigs...

http://gatewatchers.blogspot.com/2012/02/girls-day-out-and-wild-pigs.html

The Great Gate Experience! Thursday, February 9, 2012. Girls Day Out and Wild Pigs. Ok, two events but not connected! Barb and Rachel from the other two gates at our well and myself decided to have a girls day out in Laredo; shopping, laundry and lunch, what a treat! Don't worry, we brought pizza home to the guys for watching the gates for us which made them happy. Today we met the man in charge of the well and he mentioned that about 150 more wells were scheduled to go in, but I don't know the timeline ...
