Next Adventure

Wayne and I are currently in southwest Texas (current nighttime temperature is 60 degrees). We are working as gateguards for an oil company. We have our motorhome parked inside the gate and we log in/out every vehicle 24-hours a day, seven days a week. We sleep, eat, and work in shifts. We have only been here six days, so our schedule is still a work in progress. The company we work for provides a generator, a tank of water, and a crew that comes around once a week to dump our tanks. The oil company is drilling two wells on our site using fracking to get to the oil quicker. I'm learning a lot about the whole process because I ask different workers questions about what they're doing. Everyone is polite and answers lots of questions. The hardest part is getting used to all the noise! It doesn't stop either. I took a couple of pictures the first day that I will try to post in here. Ziva isn't sure about all this. She likes that we sleep in shiffz, because she can stay in bed longer. The dust was bad the first few days, but then it rained a little Friday morni.g and packed it down. We have been lucky with the weather so far, but I am sure we will get cold weather soon. We are located off I-35 half-way between San Antonio and Laredo. We have to drive 25 miles for a grocery store and the nearest Wal-Mart is one of the originals and very small. We are enjoying it so far because it is something new and different (did I mention we make good money doing it?). Apparently I can't post pictures from my tablet.
